[eukanuba]

Rob, like hell you will.. :D

Your coming - and we are running with the big boys !

Wanna run with me or against me this weekend ? ^_^

Theres always a chance for a bit of 1 on 1 action between games..

No probs about that mask, I am sure you can borrow one on the day from one of the guys - they might have an ex-rental or a spare out there..

I am only going out for a couple hours, not all day.. got other stuffs doing on saturday also..

- Euk..

[TYDDY]

Hey i heard that all the W/A jumbies were running scared.
To all the teams that were thinking of playing and then backed out...HA you will never play hard.
I remember as a newbie traveling interstate just to get violated by SWAT (yes enjoy it for now Mike) i want pay back. and all the other teams just to have the chance to shoot them.
If all you newbies are gunna wait till you think you are good enough you will never get there. sell your gear and buy a playstation. Ya homo's.

[cruisey]

well done 2 the guys and gals who put the tourney on, well done 2 the teams for making it a great tourney, well done 2 the teams that said YES they would come over 2 WA and DID...

[Dman]

Well done Rob you hit the nail on the head, OUTERLIMITS have the best facility in WA to play sup-air ball on which was proven this weekend, some of the best paintballers train and play hard there in WA and finally a tourny with eastern state visitors wanting to play serious PAINTBALL and it goes to show you who are REALLY wanting to play hardcore ball.

Like Tyddy said sell youre gear and get a playstation....

Thanks to everybody that showed up and played its was an awesome day of paintball, a big Congratulations to STACEY on becoming the first ONE on ONE Champion in WA.....see you there next time.....

Regards Dman

[reedy]

THANKS GUYS (K.A.O.S. & OUTERLIMITS) FOR ORGANIZING A GREAT TORNEY AS FAR AS I KNOW THE GEROATRICS HAD A BALL.
NOW ITS BACK TO TRAINING SO WE CAN TRY SCORE A TROPHY IN THE NEXT TORNEY.
RobKAOS I HAVE TO AGREE WITH WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT THOSE SELECT FEW JOOMBIES I WISH THEY WOULD PUT UP OR SHUT UP

REEDY AKA - DECI

[Wayno]

Hey Deci, glad you had a good time. Man, the Gero's did really really well, I was impressed. There was only one WA team that beat them on points and that was WASP, so the boys have improved heaps..it's great to see.

Looking forward to next time the X's play you ;)

[TIMMAH]

obviously it is myself that you are targeting Rob. i never intended to get on the wrong side of anyone. and i apologize if i have. Yes we had a run on the field at lunch and i would be happy to pay the field fee if it was a problem. We are looking to put a team together and start playing, come down to check out what goes on and this is the reaction we get. I introduced myself to a few of you but obviously not everyone. How have we brought the game into disrepute?What do you think we are trying to do? Participate!! And again my apologies to anyone i may have offended. Dman let me know and i will come and pay you for the run.
i didnt realize we did anything wrong. i did not partake in the tournament as it may have seemed by my incorrect wording in my thanks for allowing me to check things out in the spam area. sorry for taking interest and for turning up.
Rob

[Wayno]

To all Joombies, Newbies, Wannbe's.

If you really ARE serious about becoming a tournament paintballer. Listen.

Come to the fields.
Get to know the guys and gals.
Train with them.
Play against them. You don't need a team to do this.
Listen and learn from them.
Pay your own way...we all have to.
And stop playing with corporates/punters.

The best way to earn their respect is to compete either with them or against them, on the field, that's where it all happens. If you talk the talk you better walk the walk.

Now, I didn't see either of you guys on saturday and never in all the tournies I've been to have I heard of someone rocking up and playing on the tournament field while the teams where having lunch !! If you want to play...come play like everyone else...simple...and if you don't have a team, let people know and maybe you'll find yourself in one on the day...oh and the more help the better when a tournies on, so if your not playing and your going to come out "for a look"..lending a hand goes along way in my book.

[TIMMAH]

More than happy to wayno:)

[eukanuba]

Whoa !

I just emailed rob_kaos about what our "intentions" were..

I have the feeling it is pointed at rob and myself.

I had absolutely no idea that bringing rob out for a look at a sup-air field and walking the field, practicing some snap shooting and laying paint for a distance to see how it fly's could cause such a ruckus !

We were on the field about 10-15 mins while you guys were eating lunch, we didnt leave any mess.. we introduced ourselves around.. obviously not trying to get in the way..

We walked the field, talked strategy.. tried long range shooting.. and shot 3 quick rounds 1 on 1.. and got off the field when everyone was coming back.

We never _WANTED_ to play with the whole crowd, we never intended to go against anyone or play in a team on the day.. this was and only ever intended to be a bit of a meet and greet for rob and a chance for us to get out, see the field - and play a little round against each other.. You should check my previous post about where I said " I am only going out for a little while, got other things happening on saturday "..

We got around chatting with _Heaps_ of people.. we spent a while chatting with the guys from rodney rides and Sydney swat.. chatted with whitey from geroatrics and the guys from X-cyte.. We didnt sit by ourselves.. we couldnt go out onto the field, rob doesnt have a mask yet.. I had mine - but you dont leave your team mates alone.

If anyone was so pissed at us, why didnt someone come tell us ? We had a couple guys from gero's sitting behind the barrier telling us strategy, that was fantastic.. really appreciated..

Rob_kaos, we have chatted heaps online.. I cant believe you guys would get so offended we didnt come speak to you, I didnt know who you were in R/L... Alot of people we saw were concentrating on the games and couldnt give a shit who we were and werent really caring because of their next game.. so we stood and watched, politely - not getting in peoples faces..

As for not paying a field fee, hey no probs ! - D-man, I will hook you up next time I see you... Paying a field fee is really not something I am worried about paying, Its not like I have ever not payed my own way.. I Didnt realise I had " AGAIN " pissed everyone off.. I only saw D-man in the morning when he was flat out busy, and again before lunch... when he was again flat out busy, didnt think it the best time to be in his face about a " Maybe practice "

I thought it best that we steer clear and not get in the way.

If someone was offended that we didnt introduce ourselves - you know, its a 2 way door - you could have come introduce yourself too..

I formally apologise again for severely looking and acting like a noobie.

Hi...to everyone who played on the weekend and turned up to have a look, if you took some snap shots it would be good to see them on bills. I didnt take any as I was busy reffing...

[Bozo]

watching this issue develop for some time and I dont see it as something that should be directed at these two guys or anyone specifically.
I think there are valid points on both sides so if everyone is sensible I see it working out ok.

What I do see as the major issue is that we need to make sure paintball in WA is not starting to become elitist I know for a fact that a lot of players did not or could not play in the tourney for financial reasons. (not sure what it is like on the east coast)
Not everyone can afford to lay down hundreds of dollars to get smacked by pro level teams.
I think most of the guys from out of town are linked to fields and use that to offset the costs, I imagine the country teams spent a lot of money to travel up/down and of course Swat and the others from east spent heaps.

I think we need to look at making tourneys/comps more affordable so we can have more teams/players, we could do that by having a cheaper byo league that runs a lot more regular eg the regs days could be run in an informal tourney mode with teams.
So the newbies can get to play tourney ball instead of just going out for a hack.

Less regularly we run the big games for the serious guys.

This would foster new talent and strengthen WA pball so that when Swat or the likes come over there will be more than 1 team taking it to them.;)

I know it may be hard to get going but I know of no other sport that runs the way pball is run in Australia, due to the lack of numbers we cant rely on sponsorship to attract players to tourneys with big prizes.

This post is not meant to start flames just the way a lot of ppl see it from what I have been told.

[TTAM]

If you lessen the level of torneys that will only hurt the better players, why dont all the newer players get in contact with each other and a field opperator and organise a big training/ informal torney day, If they dont want to play with everyone else that is. I know from experience that playing with the big boys when you are only starting out can be the best thing for you if you dont become discouraged, there is nothing better than beating the guys that have been giving you a hiding and that you look up to.

[Warpaint]

The peanut gallery is starting up again.

Tournaments don't get much cheaper than what we had on the weekend. ($100 per player, bring your own paint). This IS the cheap byo league you are asking for.

There was an initiative this time to expand the tournament to a 2 day format which would have increased team costs, and this might have scared off some teams from competing. But the end result was a well run tournament for about as cheap as it gets.

If you want informal competition where you can develop your teams skills - then turn up to the regs days that are held at Serpi and other fields every month or so. If you really want a mini tournament, this can be done on the spot, as demonstrated by the Serpi regs day a little while ago where that did exactly that.
Why don't you turn up, make the suggestion, and put in the work to make it happen - 10 minutes to organise some teams, 15 minutes to work out a schedule, 5 seconds to scrawl congratulations to the winnner on a piece of paper and hand it over in an awards ceremony.

I can understand why Rob_Kaos is doing his nut - it's put up or shut up time. Your either serious about playing tournament paintball in W.A., or your not.

[TIMMAH]

so when is the next regs day?

[Jamie_Cracker]

Euk you shoulda talked to dman first..
The only way you are gonna get better is to play other teams,there is no substitute for game practice although training is a great idea
I had a ball and had lots of funin perth will be back there as soon as possible

[eukanuba]

Yeah, It was a bad call on my part.

I have pm'd dman and given apologies.

I will remember if ever I am welcome again at any field here in perth.

dude its not that bad everyone has poor judgement sometime, secret is to learn from it.

[eukanuba]

To all Joombies, Newbies, Wannbe's.


Just in that line, you alienated anyone who was considering the next step..



Come to the fields.
Get to know the guys and gals.
Train with them.
Play against them. You don't need a team to do this.
Listen and learn from them.
Pay your own way...we all have to.
And stop playing with corporates/punters.


We tried.

We got flamed because of a poor judgement call.

We didnt go out for a black and blue beating, just a look and learn.



The best way to earn their respect is to compete either with them or against them, on the field, that's where it all happens. If you talk the talk you better walk the walk.


I have never talked the "Talk" because I dont know the "Talk" - but be assured, I should try doing it, so hows this.. " give it time.. you were a joombie once.. I will be bringing it to you one day.. "


Now, I didn't see either of you guys on saturday <snip>.

We were there, hence the flaming you are giving us - you obviously didnt see us.. plenty of others saw us, and none of them criticised either me or rob for being there, heaps came up and introduced themselves and asked what team we were from.. when they found out we were new to competition people gave us business cards, web sites and email addresses..

I have been out to sup-air training days in the past, I shouldnt imagine you would have remembered me from them either.. but others there on the day did... didn't know my name, as did I remember theirs - but they recognised my face.. and said HI back.

And FYI - I was standing near the air trailer next to the field entrance with rob watching the games, for about 5 hours if that jogs a memory..

- Euk.

[RobKAOS]

OK guys...............yes i was hard on you all, but i believe it has had the desired result...............turn up, play with regs not corps, introduce your mouths around, at least have the courtesy to let field owners/operators know what your up to on their fields, and back your mouths up with your triggers!

FYI i have helped more newbies into this sport over 10 years than you could probably count, so dont have a go at me with helping newbies....also at the moment there are actually about 8 or so total newbies that played in the recent torny, all these dudes have the right attitude and their mouths are in control............

.........there are no hard feelings toward anyone, just lift your social paintball attitude a bit and we will all get along and enjoy future ball together.

Remember what you post on bills is open to public scrutiny and you had better know your subject and place before you go spouting 'stuff' online.

Paintballers (especially older ones) in this country are highly protective over our sport considering our paintball history in this country and want to protect everything about it........................

chill out, play ball, watch your mouths, we will all get along!!!!

if you need help ask in the right ways and you will find it!!

[Wayno]

I'm such a bad person....I almost feel like saying sorry.

[TIMMAH]

:D :bow:

[Warpaint]

Almost

[Dman]

Dont feel bad wayno, i will still play ball with you.....

[Muzza]

Your Ok Wayno...... Ill still have a run with ya... :yawn:
Has anybody got any pic's to put on Bills.... from the tourny.... :rolleyes:

[eukanuba]

I'm not saying wayno's a bad sort..

I am just trying to say - cut us some slack.. newbies want to get into it.. :cry:

God, sounds like a cyndi lauper song " Newbies just wanna have fun... "

- Euk.
:bow: :bow: :bow:

[Freak]

Euk.
what these guys are sayin is true, you basically just gotta get out there and mix it with the big guys. ive only been in the game for 3 or 4 months now and 3 months ago i would have never even dreamt about playing tourney yet. but since then ive been hanging with Wayno and D-man and all the guys at outer limits etc and workin and playin at the field when ever i can, mixin it with who ever i can and gettin to know people in the game and they all helped me into playin my first tourney last weekend, and absolutely i loved it ( thanx again guys ).

basically what i'm saying is, i'm a smart ass with a bad attitude...... and if these guys helped me into the sport then they'll help just about anyone that shows an interest..... just so long as you go about it the right way and are willing to listen and learn. they are great guys and will help you out where ever they can.



Freak......aka 'Studboy'

[Muzza]

Yer.. nice comments Freak..you are willing to put the time and effort into the sport, but dude the " hair " on the weekend...did you pay for that.... :D ..Keep at it and it will only get better...I Know as a newbie.......:respekt: to all players

[Freak]

well it worked didnt it??? it got noticed. i think gav had a bit of a hard time workin out if i was hit or not at one stage too.... next time if we are shooting green paint i'll just dye it all greenan run head first off the break.

and yes i did pay for it, a friend of mine is a hairdresser and my hair is a result of a night of boredom and bourbon

[TIMMAH]

So u were the guy with the multi colored head ?

I was wondering how long it took to do that.. it looked like it took you AGES - nice work !!

- Euk.

[schatts]

Man I thought we had bitch sessions in SA but I would have to say you guys in WA are right up there.

Euk and Rob I hope you are not put off by this, we need more ppl playing paintball in Australia. I though it was great that you guys wanted to learn more about Sup Air but yes next time speak to the person running the tourney if you want to play(practice) there.

Just how expensive are your tourneys in WA ?

We run our tourneys in SA with a very low cost structure - Hell we even ref for free. The field owner takes a nominal fee of $300 or so to use the field, a few trophies and a small profit to help maintain equip are all the costs. The entry fee is around $30 per person. And yes lunch is provided.

[Freak]

yeah that was me...... first tourney. thought i'd try and stand out a bit (whilst standing in the dead box)

it didnt take me long at all i just sat there drinkin, took her about an hour or so tho, she's kinda got the hang of it now, its not the first time we have got drunk and decided to do stupid things to my hair :D

[eukanuba]

You know whats really weird, I saw one of my ex's there on saturday.. havent seen her for bout 10 years.. you know that nod you give to people you know, but you dont go and chat with em because either they are busy - or its just not comfortable..

Of all the places, a paintball field eh ! who would have thought...

[Elfboy]

[GAV WA]

Yeah I couldn't believe how many teams were watching him do it then do nothing to counter it when they played against them.

[Gero crew]

Yeah I couldn't believe how many teams were watching him do it then do nothing to counter it when they played against them.

he sure was the fastest guy on the day but them Swat boys were pretty damn fast too

[matho]

yer i watched gimp play yer he was really good when he was being watch buy swat, and a team that was watching him play wasp smashed him in the finnals, . word of warning gimp you are only as good as you last game; play as a team member then you might become a real paintballer

[Rainman]

Hey Matho,
Hows your head now bloke????????? You ever thought about wearing head protection so that you can play for a whole tourney???????????

[Yzo]

Hey Matho,
Hows your head now bloke????????? You ever thought about wearing head protection so that you can play for a whole tourney???????????

roflol :eek:

[Warpaint]

He would have needed a motorcycle helmet to protect against that one...

[Jamie_Cracker]

oh well you gotta do what you gotta do to protect yourself,i think that Rainman is just having a go at him cause he put shit on gimp

[GAV WA]

:D Maybe gimp wasn't too fast, maybe the rest of the team was too slow.
They did seem to have a big, ugly, slow noob on the team. :angel: :angel:

[Jamie_Cracker]

hahaha the bloody refs didnt help any you guys were supposed to stand in the way so i could sneak up on them without having to exert myself,the one guy i went to mug shouted gone gone gone,i thought he had called himself out so i stopped and put my marker down and he turned around and shot me,Gav you were supposed to give him a 54 for 1,bloody noob refs
Oh well he payed for it about 10 seconds later he got timmy'd

[Rainman]

Was that he played for another 10 seconds or was it 3?All I know is that the bloody noob ref didn't do his job right and the ref shoulda been bonused for it, isn't that right Gav....... ;) ;) :D :D

[GAV WA]

:D :D
