I agree with the others on this. In woodsball, there is NO pressure to perform. You just play for the sheer fun of it. No point standings, no deadline. Get out and play cowboys and injuns for a while.

I will add to what I said earlier. Try playing in a decent scenario game if at all possible. It is still competitive, but only on the field. Off the field everyone is extremely nice to one and other. It rekindles alot of player's yearn to play. It is very easy to get a full weekend of amazing memories out of them.

There is no single thing... when I went to Chicago this year it was with the full possibility that I would walk away in the middle of the event. I even had a letter of resignation of typed in my car for the team that had all the important details noone but me really knew (contact #'s, PSP id #'s, that type of thing). Obviously I had issues before I went.

I think, for awhile, I have really only played for my team. I have told them all year they needed to replace me, I no longer show up for practices, run team drills on Sunday, or anything else. So when I find myself on the B team I find myself outside of the people I normally play with. I want to say this is not a factor. It maybe, but my team, who are all my friends, are in no way to blame for it. It was a decision I made and they simply carried through with.

I played Sunday with people I really like. Friends. Granted we got pushed into the upper divison, but we should have done fine. I hated the entire day. Going in it didn't matter if we did good or bad, I was not in a good mood. I couldn't piece together a "good" move all day. When I had one kid, probably twelve, have his life saved by the fact that I was already around the net when he started spouting his mouth off, I kinda realized that I no longer like it. I was, at one time, able to play the scene, be part of it, yell and whine back wtih the best of them... I no longer have a want to.

It was basically a sudden choice made Saturday night before tournament. Nothing about Sunday could have really changed anything. In fact, as late as last Friday I was contemplating ordering a new marker. It was really that sudden

I'll keep my pneumag... I hope to have the desire to play OGD every year. If I do, I will. If I don't...

I keep enough options. If I want back in, I'll buy the equipment to play again.

Have you ever thought your just a prick and should get out of the scene based on that alone?

Go take up another hobby for awhile, in a few months when you start wanting to come back, pick up a used phantom and just play recball/woods ball and rember what it was like before it got comptitive for you.

Problem is, he plays at one of the most non-competitive fields in the area (on regular open play days).


I would say put it on the wall at colors, If you try and sell it online you arnt going to get near as much as you paid for it....

Try going to Hells suvivors one of these weekends with there big scenarios

edit: Post 700!!!!!

ye, but the only thing with woodsball...is...its.........BORING sorry just my personal opinion..then again at one of the rec fields where i play its called "the village" and its very speedball like..its fun to get like 4 speedballers and run the left side and just go through and one ball everyone...but thats about as close to fun "woodsball" can get in my opinion.

I'm not sure I liked paintball this year. I played because I had friends who wanted me to. I played, frankly because I was good enough to be recognized at it... I don't know anymore. On one hand I am very ready to quit, and have made steps in that direction. On the other hand.... I wonder what to do if I do quit. I worry that what I'm doing has to do with issues that are not paintball related and Im going to regret it in a year.

i love paintball n all, but in the end....its just paintball. pball isn't going anywhere a year or two from now, so if you were to leave and change your mind, i'm guessing it probably wouldn't be too hard for you to pick up where you left off.

if youre just sick the tourney scene, you might wanna look into selling some of your non-essential gear and just stick with rec for awhile. find a really laid back field and just mess around there. if you still don't have a good time, well theres a lot of other fun stuff to do in the world.

just keep in mind; you don't HAVE to sell your gear, theres no rule saying you CAN'T come back. you just sound a little burned out.

heh i feel the same way about football
