    We you all make good points, and its not that I dont like teams in general, because yes this is a team sport. Its the morans that feel the need to label everything and everyone, you will reconized these guys b/c the first question out of there mouth is "what team are you on?", and when I say I dont have a team I just play to have fun, they imediatly look at you like some 13 year old punk kid with not experiance or knowledge.

    Some of you mentioned it nice to have a guy on your "team" that has your back, I cant agree more I always play pick-up game and I spend most of the game trying to get my "team" to move up with me, and the end of the game I'm all alone trying to keep 3 guys at bay.

    I guess what I am trying to say is why label our friends and call them a team with some goofy name, why cant the first thing out of peoples mouths be "looks like a good day for some play".


    But I must admite walking on the field with my low bling Emag and everyone else has a blinged out Ego saying "I didnt know they made Automags anymore" feels real good, and it feels even better when I bunker mister Ego because he assumed I cant play and forgot about me.

        actually it's MV RIOT now. but nice try, play again next time.


        BTW: people are on teams because they want to compete and win prizes and money. plus it's a whole lot of fun to compete in competitions. Mabe you should join one. And the whole "Im on a team so I'm better" thing can and can't be true. If someone is on a team like dynasty and they show up at your recball field, they are probably better than you, beacuse teams are based on skill. For example- rookie, amature, pro etc... But just because they are on a team, can also mean they hang out w/ a group of noob buddies alot and call themselves a team.

                what happened to the good old days when we used to go to the park and throw football around have a good time and walk off the grass with a smile on our faces? why did we have to start making teams and wearing jerseys and competing in super bowls? it seams like now a days people are walking off the fields pissed of and cursing because they threw an interception or the ref made a bad call.

                  I'm not on a team. Actually, I go paintballing by myself most of the time.

                      Now imagine doing that with a pump.

                      Took a bunch of those kids to school a couple weeks ago. Local field having try outs , some of 'em spilled over where we were practicing. Believe it or not most of them (that day) were quite respectful and appreciative of good skill. Not always the case.



                      It's an amazing twist on the day , really.

                      Early AM : Oh geez , bunch of geezers with pumps. Do we have to let them play ?

                      Mid day : That dang geezer bunkered me again. I never even knew he was coming. Did you see him ? No , I got snap shot by one of them and couldn't see anything after that.

                      Late day : Alright , me and the pump guys against everyone else.

                      That's what it's all about.

                        I may have to find myself a team now..

                        At one point last year, i was playing in a series of open games and got shot in the back of the head by my 'team' on no less than 4 occasions. I got a good laugh when the ref offered to wipe it for me should i get shot in the back of the head again. :)

                            Seriously.

                            Last week was playing on a unique Rec ball field made up of half hyper and half woods. Always the same problem , if I start in the Hyper and clear it , the woods have to get 'cleaned' after the fact. Vice versa if I take the woods.

                            That day , everytime I finish sweeping the hyper side I go clear the woods and end up taking friendly fire (so to speak) from some newb buried to his eyeballs in cover waiting for the game to end.

                            I think I'm going to have a jersey made with bright orange letters saying 'DUDE I'M ON YOUR TEAM" right across the front just for those days.

                              hey pnuemagger, when is the last time you have seen my team or any of the members of it play paintball? Obviously you are being judgemental without having any evidence of our skill level. The only AO member that can make a judgement would be either Where am I? who is on the team, or Scripto who was at BPS with us one time. So you can judge all you want, but you have no proof. The only proof you might have besides Scripto, would be the video of us that i posted a while ago. Mabe you should watch that again.
                              Unlike you, I have an idea of your paintball skill. I have seen a few of your youtube vids on your pnuemags which are very well done. Those videos are evidence that you have obviously played paintball before and that you know what you are doing. Mabe someday my team can play against yours (I assume you are probably on one) and that will be the judge. Until then, you can continue to make judgements without evidence knowing that you are being foolish.
