Saturday Paintball Reruns...
From Oct 11, 2007
STAY DOWN!
Maybe I put to much emphasis on GETTING OFF THE FIELD IMMEDIATELY when hit; to much urgency. Every weekend I see players, down in a crouch, who get hit and then STAND UP to scurry off the field, exposing themselves to stray rounds and crossfire.
It's like I tell people. If you get hit while running off the field with your gun up and yelling "HIT" I can go yell at the person who hit you. If you're strolling along, with your gun down, whispering your opponents position to your friends and get hit it's your own dumb fault.

Oh man, you struck a nerve there. I wrote an article about a bonus balling incident:
I was in a very hard earned hiding spot and had very patiently waited for a large opposing group to pass by and set up right where I hoped they would. I then started shooting them slowly one at a time, without them seeing my location. One of the kids I shot out, got up and walked over by where I was hiding, then proceeded to yell out my location. To put it mildly, I lit his noob ass up.
Poor sportsmanship never felt so good.
I'm certainly not encouraging anyone to bonus ball, but... buy the ticket, take the ride!
I'm not sure that was the lesson the noob needed to be taught but I bet he got the message.
