Creed of the Good Paintballer

[MadPSIence]

Please add your own.

I am an athele, not a "balla",
I am not agg,
I own a paintball marker, not a "gat",
Louis Vuitton and Gucci were made for rich old people in bollywood,
Not paintball players,
I don't care for hype, I care for what works,
Pink is for ballerina's, not paintball guns or apparel,
My marker is not agg, sick, or l337,
I think it's clean, quick and effective,
For every one time I pull my trigger,
One time, a ball shall exit the breech,
I wipe the sweat off my brow, not the paint off my shirt,
I can't pull 20bps, and neither can you,
I play for fun, not for image,
I play by an honor system, not by a win system
All I've cheated on, was Doom for PC.

also posted on PBN by myself... but those idiots probably can't come up with anything that doesn't end in !!!111one"

Ah, those were the days.

Amen...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA.

maybe that's your small-town-canada paintball creed, but that doesn't apply anywhere.

The only paintballers who are athletes are X-Ballers. The rest have as much claim to being athletes as olympic divers.. sure, both take skill, but neither require the wide expanse of skills and athleticism, as, say, a basketball player.

Agg is a part of paintball. Get over it or leave the game. If that's how people want to look and act, that's their business.

See above re: fashion designers.

Hyped products tend to work.. Ion works, Timmys work, DM5s work.. all very well.

Pink goes with agg.

Your gun is whatever you want it to be. If I shoot a sick gat, that's what I shoot.

If I'm going to ramp, I'm going to ramp. If I'm going to bounce, I'm going to bounce. It's up to me to do it where it's acceptable.

Wiping has become the same as pushing off in basketball-- against the rules, but a part of the game.

Who's to say I can't pull 20? Maybe the planets are aligned, I ate my wheaties, did my speed, and am ready to rock..

Fun, I concur with.

Winning-- that's why we play tournaments

Cheating is a viewpoint.

you sir are a product.

teufelhunden, you are gravely misguided. I hope as you grow older you see the folly in your statement, and you feel imbarresed by having said it.

[mandatory]

also, respect should be on the list

also, community. Its no fun when everyone hates on eachother. leave the intensity on the field.

[ojhspyro89]

you sir are a product.

wurd.

[teufelhunden]

you sir are a product.

Rofl, ok. I'm a product because I don't buy into the 'omg guys, we have to play paintball like they did in 1992 because anything other than that is a corruption of the game!!!11!!". If anybody is a product, you are a product, of the anti-modern paintball rhetoric that is regularly slung on these boards. I'm sorry that you take offense to people who match their gear and use words that you don't like. I'm sorry that you don't like the new rules of some leagues. I'm sorry that you feel intimidated, shunned, or left behind.

For the record, I generally play as is listed above. Hell, I take it a step further by playing pump.. but that doesn't mean I'm going to look down on other ballers who want to shoot a hopper in 7 seconds and wear pink and orange.

When did I say you have to play pump to be a respectable paintballer.

If you think that clean honest gaming is "1992" and no longer "cool" then you seriously need to rethink some things.

I think you're a little out of place here. You can post a counter-argument without belittleing (sp?) someone and trying to make ridicule. Furthermore if you so completely disagree with my post I believe you'd fit in better with the aggro kiddies on pbn.

Im w/ teuf on this one. You guys play paintball like old foggies. Not that I use any of the 'agg' terms as you describe, but I know what they mean, and I dont hate on ppl that use them. Look at all the slang in skateboarding and bmx, etc. Stoked. Right on. aaariaght. Get over it.

Get over the ramping rule. Its getting old. You guys are still whining about a rule established quite some time ago. wah wah wahhhhh

LOL, playing paintball likes its still 1992. Thats what everyone pretends paintball should be. Get passed it guys. Paintball is not the same as it used to be. Its like a bunch of old guys griping that motocross has turned into freestyle, and OMG, thats not what dirtbiking was meant to be.

I lost all respect for you right there. Saying being a basketball player is easier than being a basketballplayer is just plain ignorant; Divers have to be is as good shape as anyone. They have to be strong, and at the same time swift and fluid. It also requires getting over the fear of hitting the water at a pretty high speed, and no matter how you land it hurts.

Before you knock diving, I suggest you try it. Basketball is a freaking joke.

(I am not a diver, BTW)

[MadPSIence]
