Sniperzden - BIO Ammo Part 2

[Diegunner]

ya I trust 99% of people who play at events there to take that rule seriously but it only takes 1 person now to screw things up so realy take this rule seriously or else no one will play there again

I think McNair is right about it being truly impossible to police. However, the people who are packing non-bio ammo aren't the top 2%, intelligence-wise. They're the people who don't grok what a huge benefit a good field is, the people who don't grok what an impact they can have.

Most folks who play a big game bring a bag of ammo. I do not think that idiots will usually take the time to switch their bags. Sure, you can't verify the BB, but if a bag says "KSC Perfect" on it, you know they're breaking the rules.

That allows some degree of policing. Then I have a question, though:

If one can (provably) say that someone is using non-bio ammo, what do we do? I think that, in a perfect world, we'd turn that guy in and we'd all stop using the field. That sucks, though. It eliminates the incentive (aside from good old-fashioned integrity) to police each other. You catch a sneaky jerk using the wrong ammo, the self-centered man (or misguided community man,) might think that if he ignores the situation the perpetrator may not get caught, thereby keeping the field for our use.

Now, I'm still willing to keep my eyes peeled, but I have morals and principles and integrity. Most of us do. Still, I would hope for some kind of justice if the community ejects such players without involving the staff of SniperzDen.

There really is nothing you can do either way, and field ammo really changes nothing. All you can do is make it more difficult and the most difficult you can make it is to cause people to move their ammo to a bio bag.

The only really effective thing that you can do is have bio cheaply available in the community so no one would see cheaper non bio pricing point.

I think Rick should go back to the field ammo policy, since this just opens up more risks of people bringing their own bios, whether intentional or on purpose.

If people are too cheap to spend $12 on a bag of ammo for a game, well....shazaam 'em. Going to events isn't a right.

Yeah I agree, colored field ammo only IMO.

You guys in the last two posts are crazy heh.

seems like people forget, to order custom field ammo, you are looking around 6k to get it started, who is gonna front that cost? this community doesn't like even shelling out 15 bucks for a game! the whole thing is honor, if you dont have enough honor to buy BIO ammo and use it, than how the hell are you gonna call your hits?

[MitchD]

If everyone played with honor we wouldn't be having this discussion now would we?

Does being "made of environmentally materials" qualify as bio? It doesn't specifically say bio, just the quoted statement.

No.

…… why not? Give me logic behind your answer.

The short version ninja-boy, is that the ammo must break down under the local weather conditions or we loose the best field in the region.......sheesh grow up!

DJ instead of being a prick, why not just answer the question? Zergling offered no explanation to his answer...
