Anyone think that this might be part of the reason why it's going south?
Fish said:Play the reffs...
- Gogg one, and you have just bought yourself a few seconds to do with as you see fit.
- They can't be looking everywhere at once, go Joy division and pull multiple run-throughs as close to each other as possible, cause mass confusion and they'll pull whoever they see with a hit, regardless of who shot who first, in the end; unless of course they're very good reffs
- Call for check's on bunkers where you think a player may be, if the reff goes in, then there's obviously something to shoot at there
- Shall add more as and when I think of them
This is why I don't play sup-air muchPolly101 said:if you trade out, tell the ref you shot them first, its surprising how often they will wipe you down
keep shooting them till you know they are out for sure, just ignore them if they complain about overshooting its their own fault for not going out, if they complain on the way to the dead box remind the ref that dead players talking is a 1 for 1 penalty.
If you see your player has a hit on them and they havnt noticed and will therefore probably get a 1 for 1, shoot them yourself to let them know they are out. (i gotta give the credit to tommy webb for that one)
Yeah i no that you was'nt refering to us, i was agreing with this coment below
''i thin UK ball just does not have that mentality''
Not everybody has to be a masochist. I like to play what you could call recreational speedball. If you shoot me once, I will stand up and go to the dead box. If you shoot me twice, I will do the same. But if you shoot me 8 times, you better turn around because I'm heading your way.
The basic idea behind the game of paintball is to have fun. People can't have fun if you decide to act out your inner frustrations on the field by letting loose with your gun.
In a competitive setting such as a Millennium tournament, the rules might be different, but the worldwide problem is overshooting at rec-ball sites. It's happening over in the US, in the UK and in Poland too.
this is were your wrong i think there is a borderline between fun and playing to win. im not saying that to win you need to bonusball everyone off the field but being overkilled is just part and parcel of the game just get to the deadbox quicker .
i dont think overkill is affecting the uk ball scene at all , im sure this thread is completely overviewing the players that want to play better and past the idea of playing for fun
Too much ball being played on the forums, too many falsely built ego's, too many people more worried about everyone thinking they do loads of training than actually doing it, too many people who believe their own hype rather than striving to improve.
With milleniums, too many people just happy to brag they play mills and then get pissed and arse around when they are there. Too many people who expect everything to be handed to them on a plate.
And not knowing how to train properly is a huge problem, one that I know I've been guilty of, just because you may be an ok player doesn't mean you know how to get better, people need to start looking at offers made by pro's seriously and use the services.

I think the sport as a whole just isn’t popular enough, i mean how many times have you told someone that you play paintball for a team and they say "cool in the woods" or "yeh iv played at a stag thing"!. I mean apart from people who introduce others into the tournament aspect of the sport, rec ball is as far as it goes. I think that if there was a big movement of advertising and cheaper sponsorship and more encouragement for new players to start it has potential to become a big game.
One of the problems i think with UK paintball is the British culture, the whole "it's the taking part that counts" in my opinion fcuk that. I play to win there are no two ways about it and coming 2nd to me is failure, I will only ever be happy with first place.
Sure there are people that play paintball for fun and without these people paintball wouldn't be where it is etc. But if you play tournaments and want to progress than actually want to win with everything you've got.
Just my thoughts.
