As above bud

Bunkering is any move made where somebody is shot out of their bunker, usually by running up to or running by the bunker. Some adverturous people have made bunkers by diving over the bunker and shooting down. It situations such as above a counter bunkering action is very easy on the bunkerer.

while where on this kind of noob lingo thingy, what does up and bump mean in the forums? i know what bumping up means in speedball, but not in the forums.

[buzzboy]

it puts a BST thread UP to the top of the page for all to see.

up is bumping

when you have a post (usually in the trade forums) and you want it to be at the top of the list of topics you post Up or bump so that it jumps to the top of the list.

AO puts a limit of one up a day so that you can actually read a whole section without getting confused.

bumping is the same.
some people use the word bump, some up. but they both do the same thing.

basically when you unexpectedly get shot point blank. sometimes expectedly though.

Years ago in a rec ball game a friend and myself were pinned down behind a bunker and one of the opposing player went to bunker us. In rec ball it was a common practice to just call for the surrender instead of shooting some one that close. Anyway this fella stuck just his marker over the bunker and waved it around demanding the surrender. The guy freaked when in a split second I grabbed his barrel and yanked him over to top allowing my buddy shot him between the eyes. My advise is to shoot first and ask questions later when bunkering.

Bunkering is pretty much shooting someone from the same bunker.

so....a guy was trying to be polite to you and not shoot you and your bud, and you return the favor buy causing intentional physical contact (not allowed anywhere) and shooting the guy. Now, thats cool

sometimes when you're adrenalin is rushing your actions arent the 'smartest', but i agree. If you're playing paintball, be ready to get hit. if you dont want to get bunkered, i may suggest underwater basket weaving?
