What to do when the people whine?

[Slick13]

Some friends and I like to paintball like once a month and a couple really annoy me because they whine a lot!!! about guns shooting too high about certain people being too good and it not being fair two players play on the same team (cause they are scared to get wooped) which is usually 2 on 7.
How do you stop this Whining?

tell them to grow up. if they wana whine go somewhere else your there to have fun and play ball not to listen to them whine and whinge.

if people ply better than them they're gona have to get over it that's life there will always be someone better. they jus have to give it all they've got and enjoy themselves!

remind them that by whining they're ruining it for the rest of you that are having fun.

they'll get over it eventually!

not much use but all the same

Slap them?

OR perhaps they just have to realise that some people are good because they practice. They could give it a go or open their eyes to the fact that people who whine spoil the game for others.

Sure this is a little harsh but sometimes people just have to learn.

If they are serious about the sport just tell them that they have to love it for all it offers you, if they just want fun and still whine then use my tactic.
"Look....A unicorn!!!"
"Where??" (they turn their head)
You run like a man posessed.

Twisty!

There is a time and a place!!! This is not the time or the place!
Was wondering how long it was gonna take you to fit that in somewhere!

Don't bother asking them to go next time!

(adopts "ole grandad voice) When I were a lad and paintballs were t'pound a tube of ten and the rentals were PGP pump pistols, we'd play against a mix of walk ons who had anything from phantoms/bushmasters to automags.

We'd also have the "whole crowd versus the marshalls" game which was a total scream. I appreciate that the rise of pro or semi-pro ballers and the gulf in equipmemt ability tends to preclude punterhunting nowadays, but it was great fun to play at a disadvantage as it raised your game!

As you don't think these whiners have a legitimate complaint - get with some other guys: you don't need this sort of defeatist attitude from people playing on your side!
