All we need now is for someone to say that bonus balling is wrong!

If anyone is concerned about throat or crotch shots then they should be wearing the available protection (I would but they don't make cricket boxes anywhere near large enough!! )

Be fair, he posted at what looks like the earli hours of the morning to us UK residents so I imagine he comes from the US or somewhere. He's probably not been able to get back on the boards since posting. We can't all get on-line day and evening from work or home, or be an insomniac like TJ seems to be (yes TJ, why DO you seem to be logged on at what must be about 4.00am US time every day?).
I would think that lilfreighttrain is a jnio still at school & can only get on during his evenings.

Posting a reply here for the off chance that it might be a legit query:

I was marshalling yesterday and we had two main groups come to play. They were all newbies - but one of the groups had played before. Now, because they had played ONCE before they thought that they were the freakin' bees knees and bloody invincible!! For the first 3 or 4 games almost all of them were wiping themselves down left right and center!

As a marshall this seriously pissed me off, and as for the red players (opposite team) they were even more narked!
The point is, that some of the newbies who come take it all way too seriously. They may seem extremely selfish in the wiping sense - I've been extremely tempted to do it before, especially when only learning. But the sooner these people realise how disheartening and aggrivating this is for the other players then the better. I'm sure most of you know what it feels like to have gotten a sweet, clean, crisp hopper shot on someone 50ft away only for them to duck into their bunker and pop back up with a recently polished, clean hopper!! It'll annoy alot of us - but have you ever seen the puzzled and bemused look on the newbie who just made that fantastic shot on their first day paintballing??

That in itself angers me enough to go and pummel them with paint - but you just can't do that! It's not the way to go about it, we need to educate them and if they're gonna play dirty then they shouldn't be in the game, we pull them the second we spot someone wiping no questions asked! Most newbies will then think twice, especially after a little chat, others will never learn no matter what - and they're the ones we could do without....

imperial p8nt

your not going to use this stuff at the bottom end of the newby market and i think its called imperial paint and it doesnt wipe off so easily and leaves a white p8nt mark.i think that the pro teams use it.a newby who wants to develop there game and then moves onto buying his/her own marker will have to learn not to wipe and will soon appreciate why not to.sooner or later this person will want to be part of something like a team who will endeavour-one would hope-to play in tournaments.personally if aplayer has a reputation for wiping then i wouldnt let him in my team and would tell them especially if they persist after 3/4 times playing.it shouldnt be encouraged and there will always be those who slip through the honesty net but heh if they can live with it then so be it...

Hey, lilfreighttrain: it's people with attitudes like yours that give our great sport a bad name. Unloading a hopper full of paint on a newbie (or anybody, for that matter) is not going to make things any simpler (unless you're a sadist, that is; but I dunno). It's best just to point them out to the marshals and let them sort it out. Doing stuff like you suggested will get you ejected from the field; and if some non-paintballer gets word of it, you may be looking at having paintball banned regionally. Maybe not to that extent, but you never know. Watch what you do.

Why is it that lilfreighttrain is getting such a hard time when KillerOnion recommended shooting in the throat and crotch?
Just coz someone posts a hell of a lot doesnt mean that they are immune to watching what they post. I agree with darkwerks. that was one of the stupidest things I have seen posted. Especially by someone who seems to come down on people when they make inapropriate posts.

simple and safe solution if u see anyone wipin paint newbie or no u throw out then after the game u tell y u do not wipe paint and ban the wiper for a game. and if u see somone lit anyonye becuz they wiped paint throw them out for the rest of the day its just unessecery 2 unload a hopper on sombody cuz ur mad that they wiped paint

Guys I was just wondering why you bother replying to posts by this guy. He's obviously about 12 and is just on a wind up.

Having done a degree in social psychology I feel sufficiently qualified to diagnose lilfreighttrain with an unfortunately common behavioural disorder.

It's called acute dysfunctional muppet syndrome. I think you'll find its often found in concentrated numbers in the deep south of the united states and areas of Basildon

Acute dysfunctional muppet syndrome is especially harmful when associated with means of communicating with others, such as internet access, telephones.....or a mouth.
