[ahellers]

Never heard of it, but I hope the guy that tries to steal my pods also subscribes to MY code of conduct that says anyone stelaing any of my stuff gets to have a conversation with my Louisville. Stealing is wrong, regardless of some ridiculous "Code of Conduct"

lol, id say the newer generation of players wised up and dont want their **** stolen. If that guy tried to steal my pods (or anyone else for that matter) i would in fact get pissed off and prob have to hurt someone. If pods are left laying around in random spots where no one is at i can understand wher eit may be ok.

i hate people like this. I have seen the ammount of left over pods at a feild. They are never clamed and are picked up by reffs i have seen up to 200 used pods in a office before that are unclammed pods. I do not think stealing pods is ok but come on people keep track of your stuff and it wont get stolen. I have my own pods that can be identified from a mile away so just try and steal my pods. I will rip it out your harness and smash you over the head withy my pod.

This is just my openion i could be wrong

I'm quite sure that the article was meant for humor's sake. Who cares anyways? If you leave your pods on the field then you're being careless and it's your own fault. Now if someone walks over to your gear and snags one or a couple, just pull em back by the collar and let them know who's pods they just mistook as their own. Not a big deal.

You guys read too deep into articles...

[warbeak2099]

Like that wiping article in APG. So many people got pissed off when it was obviously a joke.

[Dharma punk]

Yeah, I assumed it was a joke as well. This also leads me to believe so:

"*The author of this article does not condone stealing. The author is not encouraging the theft of any personal property and reminds readers that theft is a criminal offence. This article is simply stating unwritten rules from previous generations and the code of conduct does not exempt any person from criminal sanctions. Pod Thieving should be undertaken at your own risk. "

You guys read too deep into articles...

Zing!

To be honest, if I see a pod on the field for more than an hour and I have no way to recognize it, I will probably take it. I have lost track of pods, which have been "stolen". The general consensus is that pods are cheap and it is a take and leave type thing. If you leave a pod on the field, just grab any other pod on the field. God knows the last thing I am thinking about when playing a tough game is where I left a pod....

[master_alexander]

you know, he is kinda right.

however, stealing is wrong. if someone steals something from me hopefully they like the taste of blood. ive had 2 masks stolen and around 7 pods. I dont see why they stole the pods, they were basically a ducttape mess. lol.

NPPL 2003 tampa...i was reffing the angel field.....had about 10 abandoned pods in a pile in my corner.

going to the hutch to get a drink i noted some little kid on the cleaning crew carrying a JT shopping bag. i came back and pods were gone.

some people will go to great lengths to yoink little things like pods.

[BD_Paintball]

the only way i see it ok to take ppls pods are if they leave them on the field after they play a game. if they dont go around and pic up all of their pods then they are fair game. i dont agree with the part where he said that any pod not on the person is ok to take.

[ahellers]

but i still want to know what "past generation" this is suposed to be common knowlage to!

I think is just a joke, especially when he says stuff like this:
