| Re: Cheaters
like a couple of others i was quick on the trigger..
same as every one has said tell the ref a good field will have good refs forthe most part. even though a few bad one get through. when i was a ref for sc if i was told that some one rubbed wiped or dirted. my attention became focused on him a bit more than others, only cause we had enough refs to cover our fields. but on the occasion that i would not have gotten hit a quick follow up feathering of my trigger would happen, or i would do a welt party to get a point across. (a game legal hosing) have my squad flank and circle the cheater indipendantly and on the green we all pop up and send a couple or five balls apiece into his cover three or four usually will conect.. once as a ref some may flame me for doing what i did but others will praise me.. on the filed at SC a young (11-12) player and his dad got my attention. there was a welcome to paintball party on this kid 3 players. he told me that he had hit them each at least two times in the past three games and they were wiping . so i nodded said it would be taken care of and go back to playing.. took up a concealed position and watched as sure as the sky is blue on a clear sunny day. the kid and his dad owned their butts all three got hit. the ducked behind thier cover took a hand towel out and wiped. i poped out and stood where they could see me staring at them they handed off the towel and one of them tried to bury it. i acted like i hadnt seen it and walked on i cruised by the father and son with out looking i told them to call out malfuntion real loud in a few seconds. and stood off . when they called out i went over the three broke cover. and went to a different cover that left them in the open from my vantage point. i grabbed the kids marker. looked over it as if i was trying to fix it and saw one of the guys looking at me. he turned away and it featherd the trigger and covered two in paint. handed the marker to the kid quick like. and as they jumped up i yelled your out. they ran over and complained of course saying i didnt give them a chance to get covered before i gave the marker back. i told them that i didnt call a no shoot or hold the game was still in play and all players active, and said that the kid and his dad stayed in cover. they called me a cheater. imagine that. i motioned for them to walk over to the previous cover. they followed me and i reached down and picked up their dirty towel. and smiled and said barrel plugs in march off the field pack their gear and go home for the day. i had no argument from them. but in the same regards also told them they could come back tomorow or the following weekend if they wished and ask for me by name and they could be given the chance to prove this was a fluke and that they were upstanding members of the paintball comunity. i guess they were not cause i never saw them again after that day. well at least while i worked there. this of course was an extreme situation. but in the end as a player id tell the ref then tell the manager and if no results from that i`d stalk the hell out of that player and let him wipe as much as he wanted to but im sure after a few games of getting hit repeatedly from me wipe after wipe he`d go home cause he is got to many welts, and is in to much pain.
