So give me an instinctive young killer with no bad habits over a well versed intellectualoid any day of the week. :D
All too true, I'm sorry to say, which kicks the ****e out of any chances I've ever got of playing Pro :(

I'll stick to my intellectualising... and dreams of world domination :p

The Zen or Shaolin master will gently coax the pupil towards seeing the simplicity of all things, after exposing him to all kinds of wonderful insights. As my old paintball mentor, Tom Zawadski, used to tell me: "It's mental, dude!" He was right.

And yet you keep harrassing me about it . . . and the answer is still NO!

My personal favorite piece of strategic advice is, "Never become embroiled in a land war in Asia."

Hotpoint--it's one thing to know thyself but the way of the warrior demands a further step. ;)

That's a quote from Field Marshall Montgomery... I'm impressed that a Yank would know that one. His other piece of advice was "Don't March on Moscow"

1--Naw, I'm pretty sure it was the bald bad guy who kidnapped Princess Buttercup in The Princess Bride.
2--you can only succeed when you surrender for failure resides within your own fears and doubts and desires. So only in surrendering the self do you strip away the unwanted and unecessary that keeps you from succeeding. In pball terms you can only play to your best when it doesn't matter whether you are eliminated or not or whether you win or lose in the moment that you are acting. The Tao of Baca Loco :D
