I wish I could get all those old posts but I don't have an account over at the cesspool

I got into an arguement over at Cousins Big Game with my long term team.. The Wild Geese. They now tend to play a more tactical game where as in they rather do missions and get points then go into huge fire fights. Where as years back they were the ones in the middle of the dog fight taking heads.

One incident left a bad taste in my mouth.. my other team I play for "7 Deadly Lemons" with 3 guys pushed into a opposing team base took it over and changed the flag to our side colors...... With 12 Wild Geese looking down at us not helping or doing anything to the cause.......

Long story short we held the base for 2 ish hours and then got steam rolled by 50 blue team players... All three of my guys (lemons) were holding off the base dumping paint 3 against 50 is bad odds...... We lost the base.. all the while the geese where on the hill watching us get over run........................ Why? Because they had a scenario card that stated to stay on the hill if the base was taken over by our team............. So their stubborness to stay with the scenario cost them a base.


All in all yes there are different types of scenario players.. I will admit I get into some games more then others, mainly the non-military ones, but come on who gives a hoot about the scenario. Shooting people and takeing bases is still points.

Agreed, I hate yellow uniforms for that reason, and as an EMR passholder I'm not fond of Delta's jerseys for this reason... Sorry, nothing against delta, otherwise I've always enoyed playing along side ya'll. but I firmly believe players on any paintball field ought not to be wearing yellow or orange.

But on the topic, brightly colored jerseys are fine, just as are brightly colored hawaiians, Milsim uniforms, jeans and t-shirts, Mu-mu's, Judges robes, guys in boxer shorts, just about anything s'long as you cover your junk

As far as who doesn't belong at scenario games? Whoever doesn't want to be there. If you wanna show up and play, then you belong there. This is an effin game, not the fun police, sheesh.

That's why I like Viper's ideal that his reffs wear black and white strips just like the officials in almost every other sport in the USA. And no one is alowed to have a jersey that is similar to the reff's black and white stripes. Anyone caught impersonating a Reff suffers imediate ejection from the game and grounds and is banned from future Viper games.

On behalf of stormtroopers everywhere, I respectfully disagree with Viper.

eh! well if you simply have to wear vertical black and white striped jerseys just work the ref crew.

It's no different than banning yellow or orange or what ever, if some one is gonna try and cheat by looking like a reff they will do it no matter. Simply find the least used player jersey scheme and put your reffs in those and ban all players from similar looking appral and that's that. Promote your own game choose your own ref staff colors who cares who agrees or diagrees there is no room for discussion.

Personally I'd rather see some standardization. And considering yellow/orange pretty much is the standard, I'd like to see that.
Not that I have any problem with the way viper does things, he runs a great game.

ref's need special hats
