and i dont mean in the way of colour, as we are all paintballers.

This came about after talking to a team mate.


Do you actively offer help and support to teams in the lower divisions to yourselves or do you just sit around in your own little group and do you talk to the customers that you see around the place?

Also if you are on the reciveing end, do you like other teams and players coming over and asking if you need help or how the days going?

Just wondering

VW's are the game
I would say "NO" I am not a paintball racist! But I think you are looking for the words are you a Clique Baller! Ballers tend roll in packs or cliques! But I do enjoy some of the other ballers coming over to just BS or ask if we need help.

I believe it was the 10 man but a member from another Team loaned me his Angel because my Dark would not shoot over 120 on the Chrono. That was the kewlest thing and we WON that game. If you are that person make sure you look me up next time you see me and I will buy you a beer.

At the same time if I can offer assistance to someone I wouldn't hesitate to do so! But I am still learning about the game as much as some of the others out there!

Guys and gals

I will and do talk to any one yes it's nice to talk to the big teams but only when the pressure is off. It's not fair to bother them otherwise:)

Helping people I always try to hence bring spare equipment to our tourneys and when we go out to play.

Obviously cookies tend to go down well and are not a status thing like I said it's not were you play just how ya playing it;)

Alien I do not believe it is being "racist" it is to do with arrogance.

Being so arrogant that you are unwilling to help other teams!!!

Personnaly I bend over backwards to help other teams, this includes lending most of my kit, offering advice and playing for two teams and nearly killing myself through exhaustion.

There are a few teams out there with the opinion that they are better than everyone else, though it is easy to tell these when you are in the playing area and no one comes up to talk to them, but they are getting fewer and fewer.

That is one of the good things with this sport!! and when you play away with only a couple of UK teams you find that the commeradery gets stronger.

Just remember to be nice to others and they are nice back

Having only been to a few tourneys, I do feel that some times if you are new its hard to start talking to someone. everyone knows everyone else and its hard to just walk over and talk to anybody.

But I now know people from these boards and you can start to mingle about a bit and you prob forget you are not talking to the newbies and so it goes on.

As for a customer day well, I am payed to talk to them:D but some times you get people who are interested and if they find out you play and have gear, they want to see it and ask questions, others just go Ohh thats nice.
 
Alien,
Having played our first tournament in may, i don't think that we would have done half as well if had not been for the advice that we actually got from more experienced players. Cheers guys.
We mainly got talking to other teams on the sides watching the games on just before ours.
You'll find that different teams will all be different to each other.
Just talk to people if you want to.
