In fact we heard a new expression yesterday.. the "15bps grin" which is apparently the look a player gets after playing with the new mode.
An interesting phenomena which I had recounted to me numerous times throughout the day, from all levels, was that players experiencing this for the first time seemed to think that there was some kind of invisible shield in front of them.
awww how quaint, how amusing, how delightfully spiffing that players had the '15 bps grin'...we can now all return to the shires basking in the knowledge that the PA league have produced the '15 bps smile'...Ahhhhhhh…….it warms me to my very core.
Come to think of it pet, let's get all our children playing this game because all the players walk around all day with that smile, it truly must be a family game with all that happiness just ooozing from the players.
FFS, anybody thought about just why these grinning idiots might be so smug, could be because they were firing a marker at a rate they couldn’t ever have hoped to achieve before and has now been artificially handed to them on a plate...yeh good move guys, what next ?
A device that does away with actually aiming the gun and automatically eliminates your opponent?
And while we are at it, why not go the whole hog and rule out all the skills required to play this game and let's play virtual paintball with a joystick, I mean, I'm pretty sure you could get that on Sky on any Saturday morning with the rest of the cartoons and dross especially when you pay them to air the show like you already do.
In fact, let's also get rid of all the rules together, that's got to be easier to police surely?
If there are no rules there's no policing necessary, this is the same rationale is it not?
Just because ramping is hard to catch, let's shift the problem to where we think we can catch it easier but in reality all we’ve done is trade one set of problems for another and ended up nullifying one of paintball’s skills and upping the chances of some grinning idiot getting hurt or getting into a fight.
We've really cracked it now, wooo hoo, more power to the PA.
