Orange markers?

[Zzap]

Orange markers, I've heard alot about not being able to use them in alot of tounaments.
What do you think on this good thing that the colour is banned or a bad thing?
You choose

I've got an orange Force 4, so I was less than enchanted when they passed that rule. Thankfully I don't play any pro/am level tournaments, so it's not a problem. But right after I spent $1300 on it and they passed that rule, I wasn't excited. If I wanted to play any high level tournaments, I'd have had to spend several hundred bucks on a re-anno, or another $1300 for a new gun, my choice. I don't see how it makes a difference. I can understand no orange jersey's, pants, masks, etc, but the guns might have been excessive.

pink lady

not sure of the rules and may get gutted for saying this but shouldn't the nexus ego pink lady and any other pink anno get the same ruling

also yellow paint ?!?! too i see lots of yellow masks and jerseys

do high up tournys use specifically orange paint ?

 

[Manic Monk]

I agree with pJervis surely it all depends on what coloure the paint is. where would this sort of rule end? With all teams warring black and with only piece of coloure aloud being arm bands?

Orange is supposedly "THE" reserved paint color. So you can choose to shoot non-orange paint, but then you're not shooting paint with a reserved color.

As for orange gear, at least stateside, NPPL restricts it, and PSP barely restricts it (not on shoes or hoppers).

I don't know the official millenium stance.

Yes, Chicago is right orange is the so called "protected colour" for the millennium series & pink is just banned becouse it was found to be the most staining. I think it is a pretty stupid rule to be honest thats why i dont inforce it at he Euro 5 Man

Anyone think they will ever change this rule?

 

[khanzo]

whilst i can see the reasoning behind the rules i dont fully agree with them, there could have been a better colour choice, such as white or bright green

i was going to purchase an orange shocker as my next gun, but now i have decided against since some tournies wont allow it, hey well on to colour picking...

again

[PEBBLE]

ZZAP He had an orange Octane shocker but the pic i saw was before the rule got announced and never seen a Dynasty player since with an orange gun, was this recently you saw him with or a while ago

PINK STAINS! the paint that stains the most is BLUE dunno wat brand it is tho but is stains a hell of alot more than Pink
