      i was thinking back, and i probably wouldnt be the person to punch somebody over a pod, unless i just felt good that day. Id be the person to say "i think you have my pod..." like the guy from office space (i did this in word, pod is underlined in green, and im too lazy to change it.)

            If you leave pods on the field after a game there mine. If I leave pods on the field there yours.

              the author may be kidding, but when the kiddies read the article, it'll probably give them ideas or they may not get it.
              ofcourse if someone leaves a pod on the playing field, and 3 weeks later its still there; i'll crawl over people to be the first one to it.

              but in the staging area;
              if ANYONE comes near my gear and tries to blatantly steal ANYTHING i have on that table or around in my immediate area, there will be big problems. if i catch them, and they use that stupid "code from that article" as an excuse, thats just going to make me more upset. itd be like blaming marilyn manson for shooting up your school.

                That's a pretty funny read.

                Only "conduct" I go by is when playing with the harder core Tourny teams. In a nut shell , no one really cares whose pod is whose as long as you leave the field with no more than you came on with. I regulary come home with a whole 'new' collection of pods , but always the same number of 'em.

                That's also why I NEVER buy expensive pods , never wanna give better than you might get.

                  I leave the "pod thiefing" to the wannabe players that have no life. Their whole existence revolves around gathering up other peoples stuff and laughing like little school girls about it with the other little school girls.

                  I take 4 or 5 pods on the field with me and only bring off my own. how hard is it to put it back into the pack?

                      Lol, some of my pods have a sticker stating it is electronicly protected. Nobody should make the mistake of taking my pods, they are clearly labeled with my name on them with magic marker and clear tape over that so it doesnt fade off. On the woodsball field i never leave my pods, i just pop them back in my pack, but in speedball the worst thing you can do is picking up my pods and assume they are yours now....

                          yea, but a lot of people feel that it's ok just because some one else did it to them, which I dont entirely agree with

                            which is why i think that publishing an artical like this, joke or not is stupid and errespnosible.
                            edit: some one needs to save thouse pics from office space, im sure they will come in handy later here.

                              If I need to reoad on the field I generall put my pods up against the bunker so it's not in the way or in plain view. And I simply remember where I put ti and to get my pod back after the game.

                              If some little kid runs ahead of me and grabs my pod, I will simply ask for it back and I will get it back. I only cheap pods, but nevertheless, they are my pods and I do expect them back. Some people may not care what happens to their pods, but that is thier property to give away if they want. But as ar as a paintball ettiquette... I'll keep my pods

                              When I'm playing baseball for my college, I expect my bat to be mine after discarding it at the plate, why should this be any different?
