Re: Cheaters

Cheaters are hard to deal with! Lighting someone up is not a option, If you do this you have just lowered yourself to there level of play. If talking to the individual or the field owner can not take care of the situation. The next option is to not play at the field or accept the fact that this player is a wiper and stay away from them.
There was a great write up by Kahuna from Scenerio Paintball on Cheaters. I printed it up and would had it to people that I witnessed wiping or other rule violations.

Here is Kahuna's write up: Cheaters
You know what makes me mad? You know what makes me angry? Cheaters. One of the things I can not stand in Scenario Paintball is cheating, now in scenario paintball games allot of things we do could, and would be considered cheating by many inexperienced players, of course that is the thing that makes scenario ball so much fun. Things like fake props and having the general take a bathroom break at just the right time, having spies and buying information from the opposing team, these all raise the fun level and the thinking level of a scenario game, they make it more real and more exciting. these are not the type of things that I am talking about when I talk about cheating. I am talking about things like wiping and not calling yourself hit. I am talking about going out of bounds to get somewhere and sneaking back in, things like this not only lower the sport they lower the cheater. It is one thing to be beat by a player, it is another to lower yourself and admit another player is totally superior to you. A cheater does this every time they cheat. They are admiting they have to cheat in order to compete. That is what you do every time you cheat, you acknowledge the other player is the better player and you are not willing to admit that you were beat fair and square, and try again next time. Cheaters are saying “ I can not beat this player fairly he/she is a much better player than I am, so I am going to cheat in order to have a chance against this player who is so vastly superior to me”. This is why people cheat, they cheat because they are afraid to compete on equal grounds, they cheat because they are not good enough to play fair and have a chance to win. This is the same in all sports it is not unique to PaintBall, in baseball they put a core in the bat or the pitcher uses something on the ball, in golf you write down 4 when you swing a 5 and in Scenario paintball well you get the idea. It is not the sport that brings out the cheater, this is a trait, the person that cheats durring a scenario paintball game will cheat in life. If this describes you, get a life, stop being a loser and start trying to better yourself, quit being a quitter, try harder, you will be happier in the end and like yourself more. Maybe we need to start a cheaters anonymous club we could call it PBCA (PaintBall Cheaters Anonymous) and it would be a place to help you over come your fears and know you are still loved. you could hear X-cheaters tell you how they have overcome the fear of fair competition and now play fair. you could watch videos about Paintball and take special classes to improve your skills. then after you have learned to play with skill instead of cheating, we could have a graduation scenario and give you a chance to test your new game. Of course you will probably still get spanked, because all that time you were cheating instead of playing real scenario ball, the people you were playing against were getting better. Of course that’s just my opinion Kahuna Editor@scenarioball.com I Welcome your comments
