Ok, fair point. But if you're so high-speed then why are you here bothering us?

Also, everyone knows you are/were in the Army. Give it a rest, it does not make you better than us, nor does it make you cool.

To the topic: Good job man for calling people out on their hits!

I got your joke about punkbuster, it just wasn't all that funny. Not a big deal, sometimes a joke just doesn't go over very well.

We often call people who cheat hackers, yes they aren't ACTUALLY hacking anything, but it has become part of the lexicon and that's that.

Do you also complain when someone who isn't legally a midget gets called a midget? Do you complain when someone who isn't actually mentally handicapped gets called retarded? Do you complain when someone gets called a douche even though they aren't actually a device used to put a stream of water into a human body for medical or hygienic purposes? I would guess not.

TL;DR: Joke not funny, not a big deal, moving on.


Aww somebody must need a hug. no I dont take offense to things, especially not form someone who call themselves Cap'n Pickles, or Liquid Snak. As for my comment about getting paid to to play army...read it in context to what he said about being a nerd. Now if you wanna talk PM me. But, I suggest unwadding your panties first.

I'm not too worried about your comments, my main point was that you were complaining about people not getting your joke.

If you have to explain a joke, it is no longer funny.

It isn't a big deal, people make crappy jokes all the time.

BACK ON TOPIC:

If someone is clearly not playing by the rules (hacking, cheating, being a squish mitten nugget, etc) they deserve to be called out on it.

If someone openly admits to only calling hits if they fell them, then it is obvious they don't care about playing by the rules.

Usually I don't feel the hits I take, but I can sure as hell hear them and it is pretty obvious.

Kudos on calling his hits for him.

I agree with the general community on this one: get his attention, call him out, get him to change his bleeding behavior. Fighting has no place in Airsoft, unless it's an Airsoft MMA competition. Which would be....amazing?

And the mods on that site need to be PM'd in this situation. Get the authority in on it.

It's not the fact that he didn't call his hit, it happens all the time when you get hit with one BB.

It's the fact that he reacted violently to someone dressed in orange(clearly some sort of admin-ish power, they aren't in play) telling him they saw him get hit.

Well your version of complaining and my version differ greatly as I have not seen any complaining.
I was being a smartass, and poking fun at someone. You know the whole pot calling the kettle black thing.
But whatever you wanna see complaining try calling someone and telling them they are due for a Record APFT.

an insignificant student who is ridiculed as being affected or boringly studious
an intelligent but single-minded expert in a particular technical field or profession=nerd

a war reenactor using airsoft weapons and military tactics in a safe organized skirmish usually in forests or urban arenas= airsofter

airsofter ≠ nerd


Haha, very nice 750.

I know I wear a plate carrier and sometimes have real ESAPI plates inside (I look at Airsoft as a fun way to train, and part of training is to train as you would fight.....and part of that is weight), I don't feel the hits, but sometimes I will hear the BBs hitting and call myself as being hit. I was always told its always bad form to call your hit.

It like playing with MILEs gear. Unless you can completely take the time to script OPFOR/BLUEFOR, its not going to change anytime soon.

Moral to the story is maybe have some sort of Observer/Controller out there.

Wait what? Airsoft is entirely based on calling your own hits.

I'm confused.

No calling out who you hit.
Not calling yourself out for being hit

Ah ok. Yeah it is bad form to call someone out.

You are supposed to call an admin over to deal with the situation.

However, when you ARE an admin, there is nothing wrong with telling someone that they've been hit.

It is, but also if an admin or someone wearing a vest comes up and says you were hit... then I put the death rag on on leave.

damn mini... I was just a little to slow :D

If you're going to go to war against a major enemy, go; knock the hell out of him fast, and go in there to kill him and get it over with.

Yeah I have to re read the first post, but He said he was helping film, not an actual admin. Unless I missed something...Filming and Admining are 2 different events all together. Staring at the world through a view finder versus watching the playing field and passing guidance and judgement calls is another story entirely

Even so... wanting to get in somebody's face about it is unacceptable
