big cock ups...

rancid

Mother, is that you?
Can't remember if this has been done before, but what's your worst pball nightmare?

Here's one of many...

Long time a go I was lucky nuff to get invite to play with the Sterling factory team. Mayhem 10-man, good team out and we fancied our chances of a semi final spot. Game 1, I was playing mid field and had to shoot one of our front players into crucial position in the centre. Game on, hit my mark and started pumping for my life. Unfortunately, I'd forgotten to take out my bung and so I stacked about thirty balls up my barrel, breach and into my hopper! Needless to say my front guy didn't get within 20 yards of his bunker. Ok anyone can make that mistake.

****. game two. It wasn't a very long game ...for me. Dead short field, game on, stray ball and I got hit before I got out of the base. Ok, anyone can be unlucky.

Game three. Seeing as I wasn't to be trusted, the capt pin- pointed a position way up on the right flank. They put the same front guy with me and we were to hit our positions and shoot middle, then dig in for our life. It was critical that we stayed in the game. No problem. Game on and we legged it. My partner slid in first, I was about 3 secs behind, slid in, hit a stump, finger hit trigger and I shot my buddy up the arse! As i was apologizing, I got pulled out for talking to an eliminated player. (Bit unfair but there you go..). The oppo came down our right, back-doored us and closed the game in just short of three minutes.

I can't bring myself to tell you what happened in game four, suffice to say it involved my mother, Niall Squires and a giant cane toad. Needless to say I was dropped for the rest of the tourney and wasn't invited back.

Anyone beat that?

Ever been Kicked off a field for a day for bunkering a marshal? I have. I was playing pick up games at SC Village here in So-Cal. I was playing up front and this guy on the other team was causing all sorts of trouble for our team but he was moving around alot so I hung low for a minute preparing to make my move When the time was right I made my move but my back guy told me the wrong bunker! So I run by and instead of bunkering the guy I shoot the ref twice in the head once in the back and once in the arse. I stopped when I realized what I had done and I got lit up myself. As if that wasn't enough, The ref pulled my wristband and sent me home for the day. I made it clear that it was an accident and I expressed remorse but nonetheless my day was ended very quickly.
I know it's not as bad as goofing like that at a tourney but I thought I'd throw in my $0.02 (American)

cock up

Shot myself in the palm of the hand at elsham a few weeks ago.

I was trying to clear the porting on my barrel after a break... you know, tip the marker upside down, dryfire a few times, palm over the barrel and dryfire again to clear the porting. Doesn't work if you tip another ball into the breach.

ow. and this ties in with the cheating thread going on here in that I was unobserved and it would have been the *easiest* thing in the world to close my hand and play on regardless.

Apart from the fact it hurt like a B%stard and I couldn't feel me arm up to the elbow :D

Hey Rancid,
it would seem to me (with no disrespect intended) that perhaps paintball may well not be the sport for you.
I have only ever witnessed incompetence like that from one other human being and for the sake of his pride, I can't really name him.......oh bollocks, yes I can...his name is Pete Moore.
He actually managed to redefine the word 'useless' when it comes to paintball.
Rancid, instead of embarrassing yourself (and me for that matter) on this board by recounting only a few of the myriad of cock-ups you have made, try to get involved in some other line where you may find your true talent residing.
Say, publishing !!!!!!
Yeah you might be good at that :)

OK, how's about...

NAAPSA World Champs at Wacky Warriors against Thunderstruck...my opposite number behind two barrels, he's got to go but it's a long, exposed run at him. Anyhow, he's holding up the tape so my back guy starts hammering the barrels and I hit top speed, get across the clearing, leap over the barrels and put three shots right where the guy SHOULD have been...had he not been eliminated earlier by one of our centre guys and rolled outta the tape. Sadly, no-one communicated that fact to my tape...

Three man event, one guy left on the other team, me + one guy left on my team. I pin the one guy left down, while my buddy busts a move to take him out. My team mate mugs him while he is looking the other way. The guy turns around and shoots my team mate:eek:
No problem, I trot over, collect thier flag, but on the way back to my base, a marshal stops my and tells me I am elimanated. I am being one for oned because of the guy that played on after being shot:confused:
The judge claimed that he had to one for one the guy, and as there was no one left on HIS team for them to remove, they were forced to remove me.:confused: :confused: :confused:
Work the mentality out on that one!

...and you know better than to think of cheating anyway. :) I guess you were just desperate to wear the Hellfish 'Friendly Fire' cap.

It made the trip back from Elsham a bit more interesting as you were driving.

Speaking of which, does that drive back from the tourney count as a paintball- related cock up? Us not realising we'd missed the A1 turn off until we hit *Manchester* :rolleyes:
