But I couldn't disagree more about woodsball and speedball being different.

That's a double standard if I ever heard one and more evidence that woodsballers think their brand of paintball is more righteous than any other brand.

Do you have some issues with the spy role? Were you barrel tagged by a spy once or something and now have traumatic flashbacks to it while on the field?
How is it a double standard? Speedball can be sneaky too! If you come down the side of the field and some poor guy in the mid field doesn't see you, it's not like you want the ref to follow you around or yell to you while you're moving. You want the ref to make sure he doesn't alert the opposing player that you've made it to his side and are about to smoke him from behind.
Besides, I don't know where you're getting the deadman walk comparison to a spy role. Spies aren't dead man walking, they're active players in the game. Dead man walking is cheap in both versions of the game whether it's speedball or woodsball. But being sneaky is perfectly fine!
