So I'm playing a 5man match at a local field for team night. Well my team goes up against another local team. It was a pretty intense match too. Well my teams takes one and loses one off the break. Everyone else makes it to their bunkers as planned. 4 on 4 now. Their team has a more defensive set up and we're trying to take one side and come around them. The backs from both teams are just laying the paint down and everyone is crawling around. I pop up and take out a back and a team mate takes the guy in the snake (so we think). Up the field I go with another teammate and take clear the rest of the field. Our plan worked!! Sort of... Me and my teammate comedown the tape, I'm first, and I see no one, I look across the field and still see no one so I yell "clear". Now everyone thinks the game is over, people coming out from behind bunkers and me and my teammate are walking up the middle of the field talking dinner plans. I hear marker going nuts and a stream of paint goes up my buds chest and ref yell "eliminated!". I'm like "WTF?!?!" From where!? What!? Then I see him. "NOT SO CLEAR!" Laying just about under the backside of the snake. I dive for the nearest bunker (behind my teammate, who in turn takes a few more hits that were meant for me.) My back player is shooting like crazy, to bad he already has his marker off so not much was happening. SPLAT! he's gone. Another teammate was yelling something in her soft voice that I couldn't hear (found out later it was SNAKE! SNAKE!) Now I'm stuck behind this bunker the size of a shoe box and my opponent thinks I'm out, not realizing he shot the same player twice in the first place. I lean out as my last mid is shooting like hell. I've got a handful of paint left, if that. My opponent runs from his cover to a different bunker and my mid doesn't see the move and is still blasting the snake. (great move) Well he can see my mid now and lines up to take his shot. Out from the safety of his bunker I have a sweet wide open shot and light him up before he can take his shot at my mid. I take a look around and make a run around the field and yell "Clear! Again! For real this time..."
I felt like such a newb for not seeing him. At least I didn't get hit.... we still won...I got lucky on that one. Still the dumbest thing I've ever done a on a field. My team is still laughing at me....
Moral of the story : make sure the field is really clear BEFORE you open your mouth!! ;)
Anyone else do something stupid on a field and still manage to pull a miracle out of your butt?

Good stuff.

Last Sunday my 2 friends came to play, it was their first time. So we went to play on the Hyperball field. Our hyperball field is about 30 yards give or take 5 I'd say. So they decide to do a 1v1. The ref was on the Airball field helpin another ref. So I decided to ref the 1 on 1. And one of my friends thought he hit my other one, and he was walkin all casually off the field thinking he won. But I was telling him to play on, but he didn't understand me, and just kept looking at me shrugging yelling, "What!?". And then my other friends pops out this bunker from the other side of the field unloading on him, but his balls are curving like crazy. And then I saw one curve from 5 feet to the right of my friend and curved right into his balls, just blasted his sack. So I guess cheap innacurate guns work, but you have to be innacurate.
