And if you need to intimidate Rooks or near Newbs to feel good about your chances . . .
Ye Gods... I agree with Baca! :eek:

Really? Do tell :p

To be honest I've got even less paintball style than I have playing ability... which is saying something because despite 14 years in the game I'm frankly still rubbish at it ;)

Amazingly there are plenty of people who actually think they're good players (and try to dress the part) who are actually even worse than I am :)

Image is nothing....

Sorry but I have to disagree...

Without The Image I believe your skills dont get noticed. If you see somebody going onto a field with crap gear etc You probably wouldnt even bother watching them but then again if you see somebody with all the latest gear going on and they just down right look cool (a bit like me ) then you will watch them and notice their skill...

So sorry but Image is everything then Skill :D

Why seek validation in the opinions of others? As long as you know you're good, and get the eliminations and flag-hangs to back up that assertion, then why worry about being seen?

Always watch out for the guy in the crap gear... he might he the one who bunkers you while you're happily ignoring him ;)
