Ok, my oldschool paintball friends and I met up with a great group of guys this summer, so now we have HUGE woods games and its a blast. The first time we played with them though, they put us all on the same team, along with a bunch of thier guys and we totally dominated all day because we have a lot more experience than most of them. Now we mix up the teams randomly and its good competitive play, every other week.

My problem is this- I've developed a bit of a rep for being a hardcore player and a lot of the less experieced guys will just run when they figure out I'm in the area. Last time we played a group of four ran away from me, JUST ME. Thats fine, but I get really tired chasing them down. I tryed to tone down a bit and take it easy on them, but once the game is on, thats just not my style. Instincts take over, and agression gets the best of me. I just cant play any way other than all out.

So I was thinking that I could make up some patches to hand out to people who eliminate me, to encourage people to stick around and fight it out, without haveing to chase them down all the time.

My question is this, What do you guys think would look good on a patch like this? I was thinking maybe croosed automags and an oak leaf insignia, maybe with my initials or something?
Or maybe goggles with a big splat on them?
I dont know what would look best, and I want to make them look cool so that people will try to earn them.

I was also thinking that I might make several so that the people who get me more than once could trade in and get a Higher grade one? After all its not like I never get shot.

Let me know what you all think. And if any of you graphically motivated people wanted to design something that would be great!

Thanks,
Maga

Wow That's pretty awesome. I wish had a reputation like that. Instead it's like, "Theres Magnus. Lets send the newbie kid with the talon who just started playing a week ago to go bunker him."

Anyways the patch idea sounds like a great idea. Maybe like a mask with a splat on it (like you said) with a little ribbon going across the bottom reading "I eliminated Magadeth". There would be no need for more than one design you could just give them one patch the first time they eliminate you. After all, it doesn't really matter how many times a person has eliminated you, it's just the fact that it is possible, which will motivate people to play against you more aggressively.
