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! |
OK....Just so I have this straight.....We're talking about a situation where a live player walks from his team's area of the field in plain sight if the other team to the other team's area of the field and then begins to eliminate players from behind.
That's the situation, right?
Explain to me how the kind of field you're playing on determines whether it's cheap or not?
There is no difference at all except for the perception of the people talking about it and that is why it's a double standard. I'm just saying: "Mr. Kettle, Mr. Pot is on line two....." because being sneaky by doing a dead man's walk is the same as being sneaky and being a spy walking into an enemy territory under the guise of belonging to the enemy team.
And, no, I've never been traumatized by anybody on the paintball field. If someone makes a great move and gets me I'm happy for them. I just hate double standards and prejudice so I try to bring it to light when I see it.
