View Full Version : I have come to a conclusion. (roy too)

Well, speedball is fun and all, but we just thought it's time to stop our little adventure in the realm of speedball/sup air.
Essentially, we're selling all of our stuff. Everything but our beloved guns, for me my tippmann, and for him his cocker. We're keeping various small items like the revvy and nitro for when we get the urge to play some speedball.
We reached this conclusion today basically. There's no rush anymore, there's a complete lack of fun. It's just straight competition. It's like we've lost track of what pball is all about. And that is fun.
So what we've decided on is this:
Matching green acid washed phantoms
45 grip frame
Clear parts
14 inch barrels
Matching annoed stock
10 round tubes ONLY.
We're going 100% stock class.
From what we've found so far we're gonna be the only ones to have those exact phantoms. It will be beyond UBER, it will be some sort of super UBER never seen before.
Along with the phantoms we're gonna rock these bad boys: http://www.doropaintball.com/AB1038101EQuick/shopexd.asp?id=6162
Now that's just plain cool looking.
Can't wait for this, it's gonna be life changing. Since paintball is basically my life, and I'm doing a 180 turn in paintball, my whole life is essentially changing.
THIS WILL BE BEYOND AWESOME!
i used to have a link to wear you could get that harness for about 30 bucks. but nice choice on guns and good luck.

Yes, it is true. We have finally seen the light. And were going all out with out matching phantoms, these things are gonna be HHHHHOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTT. I cant wait to get out on the field with one of them badboys.
We can only hope some of you see the light also.
Also, im not diggin that harness as of now.. I want to get the wrist bands that hold tubes and 12grams and put them on my arm.

STOCK CLASS PRIDE!!!!!!! Congrats, I played stock for a little bit and loved it. It's just so much fun. But I say Don't get stocks and get different colors unless you both just really love that color. One of you can get a mini and one a normal or sumthin. Good luck though.
p8ntfreak98
06-12-2004, 06:54 AM
Naw man, gotta have the stock. It just feels akward to me without it.
Green acid wash is so unbelievably pimp, it's amazing.
I'm thinking of picking up a mini sometimes in the future, just to say I have one :D

so are you selling your dm4 and alias?
p8ntfreak98
06-12-2004, 07:30 AM
Sounds crazy, huh?
When I realized how much money I'll get from both of them, and the amount I'll save on paint, it just made so much sense. And we all know playing stock greatly improves personal performance. So if I ever decided to go back to semi's (although I doubt it) I'll probably be alot better.

Believe me it is, i have seen timmy toter's cry when i got them out. As soon as they realize that they spent thousands of dollars on there marker nly to be got out buy a pumper.

Can I have one of the guns you're selling? ;)
Just kidding, again.
I need to look more into stock class. I've been hearing more and more about it, and I'm starting to get interested... But I don't think there's anybody around here with one, since where I've been living, there's nothing but rich snobs who buy all the $1,000 guns and I'll have no paintball friends. :( Hmmm...
I'll make my new friend from PBN go stock with me if I do. :)

Yeah, cindy, deff rock a phantom with us. Get a Purple acid wash with clear.
Funny thing ben, when you said you've gotten out guys with timmies and they got mad, that's another reason I'm getting a phanty. My friend chino showed up one day with a phantom and totally owned me. Me with my big bad alias shot about 100 or soo off the break, all missing him, he shot 3, one gogged me. That was enough to convince me my game needed HELLA work, so I figured, why not get a phantom?

Just dont give up after your first few times out, it gets really, really frustrating. The first day i used my phantom i sucked a**. I mean i only got like 1 guy out. Then you start getting used to it and it's all good in the hood after that.

It's really hot though. Hell, all phantoms are hot.

Yeah, I'm mentally preparing myself to be sucking for atleast the first 2 times or so playing with my phantom. But after being gogged off the break by one in only 3 shots I think it's worth it.

You got balls to sell the Alias and DM4. I would keep one of them in case its not all its cracked up to be. The tippy wouldn't do it for me. I have been thinking about buying a phantom, but not now. I'll probably use it when I get to college to save cash. Think about it, you could go for a whole day and probably spend less than $20.

Phantoms rock, theres a guy at my field with an orange acid wash and its hot.
He's gotten really good with it too, he'll carry maybe 5-6 10 round tubes with him on and that will last him like half the day, very awesome gun to shoot as well.
CCI also has some of the best customer service ever if no matter how unprobably it is your gun breaks down.
Once i get my cocker i may consider going back to roots, stock class would rock.

HAHA this is insane. Phantoms are become some kind of a trend, and i love it. Im not surprised though, phantoms are a pretty sick choice in weaponry, and they are pretty damn customizable. You can get exactly what you want.
First one to get a pink acid wash with clear parts is officially the coolest person i know.. seriously, do you know how nice that would look?

$10,000 wow, you could buy the absolute pimpest phantom ever and still have over $9,000 to spend on paint and 12 grams. That would last you a hundred years in the stock class world.
Stupid thread...gah, now I've seen the light. :D
I'm not about to sell My Precious, though. Once I'm finished totally tricking out my Avant, I'll start saving up for a Phantom.
How about yellow acid wash with clear parts? (It would look exactly like yours, but with yellow where the green is.) Hmmm...I think I'll call it "Sting".

Does CCI do custom colors? Do they charge more to do that? Or would I have to get it anodized somewhere else?

Probably get it anno'd somewhere else like max. They do amazing jobs on all markers. It shouldn't cost as much as like a timmy or a cocker, there's considerably less to anodize.
I'm sure if you called CCI they ould hook you up.
Oh, one thing, Roy and I are both probably buying from Doro. I know I more than likely am unless I find it somewhere else for alot cheaper. Doesn't matter anyway.

Well I have read this whole thread...and I have not been convinced to go pump. The thing for me is that speedball is still hella fun. And im just going to start doing tourneys. So im still haveing fun, so why quit for stock class. Alot of the people in this thread probobly were still haveing fun with speed ball also...but now they are just following the crowd. If speed ball is still fun...why quit people. The people who have actually played tourneys and speedball(and are sick of it) I respect them for going to pump. But not the people who are just following the crowd.
p8ntfreak98
06-13-2004, 04:01 AM
You'll get tired of it quickly (if it's x ball format).
After playing a lot of tourneys it gets old, teh fights, constant language (I'm no stranger to swearing, but after hearing it for a few hours straight it gets old) mad cheating, not like small things, I mean like blatant wiping, I've seen guys wipe gog hits. There's little to no fun involved, you go to win and people will do everything imaginable to win. Whats the point of playing if you're not having fun because some one just wiped a gog hit and got you, but the ref pulls you and lets the other guy slide becasue he's on the home team?
slushii
06-13-2004, 04:24 AM
No, its not X-ball format...but yes I have seen some people cheat, although its not a big issue at my field. Most people call themselves out if they are hit. Im just getting into local tourneys so i'll see how that goes. As for swearing there is alot of that but I dont really mind it. SPEED BALL IS FUN! :D

Im still gonna play with my cocker when it gets here, but I will definately set aside time to play stock. I used to play with a pump gun against all my friends with their semi's and it was a lot of fun. Im not backing out of the semi world, Im just broadening my paintball experience. Can I be #9? Wont be getting the phantom till a month or two after I get back from Iraq (should be next month), but I will be getting one.

I think I'm gonna do it.
Poor mag. I will probably cry for a long time after it leaves...
A long time :(
Edit: Nevermind, I was just informed that a new phantom like that would be about as much as I could sell my mag for. Goodness. I'll stick to my pgp though.

I would of had a phantom some time ago if I would of had money, I have been trying to sell this ebladed cocker to fund it. BUt I'm NOT getting rid of my tribal, its what makes me me. Me and Xtraboy have been saving for phantoms for awhile now, and I need to get like 400 total for all I want, but I need to sell this cocker.

stock class... man, i'd like a piece of that. i'm already geeked about staying mech, i may as well take a step further - or more appropriately, a step back - and get me a pump/stock class marker of some kind.
now i'm not quitting speedball for a looong time, i still get a kick out of it. but i want to broaden my horizons.
nevermind the sig - true, i'm getting an e-bladed cocker, but there ain't nothing wrong with having something that shoots really fast & something that shoots really slow. it's about variety.

wow, getting a phantom is now the cool thing to do, never thought it would come to this... Never...
I have been looking at stock class play for atleast 3 months now and have started saving, but now, im not so sure if i want to... I dont want to go along with the crowd, partly the reason why i shoot a tribal...
I will still probably end up getting one, just to hone my game and probably be the only stock player in the valley with one... but still..
The main reason why i started looking at stock is because of all these people that i hear go form semi to stock, then later down the road go back to semi and they are SOOO much better...

I dunno, this just seems like now getting a phantom is the "cool" thing to do. And now getting one doesn't seem to be as cool as it would if I would of gotten one awhile back, and now it seems I'm just going along with the "group"
Some guys, I see a reason, but now everyone else is saying they are getting one, when I don't think they are really burnt out on paintball, they just want to be cool.
I know that some, yes have a reason to go and get a phantom, others just seem like they are trying to be cool.
Meh, me and Xtraboy don't even feel like getting a tom anymore even though we have been saving for some time. I might still get one, or maybe some other pump, I dunno.

i have wanted a phantom for so damn long, its just that i started thinking in the past month about how much money i spend on such USELESS things in paintball, just made me want to quit. then i talked to my buddy and we decided to go pumps to save money and have more fun trying out a new style of play. i was actually worried about ridicule, not being teh uber cool kid.

Just to clear up the WWA thing. White Wolf was great with me when i ordered my phanty. He has really, really cheap prices. When the phantom got to me it was in perefect condition. Nothing wrong with the anno or anything else for that matter.
He also had realy great costumer service. He replyed to all of my emails very quickly.
It took him two weeks for the phantom to reach my doorstep, but that isnt that bad.

Congratulations! to everyone who's getting a pump.
Now, stop making me feel old. I'm not old enough to feel old.
For the record, I got my phantom from white wolf and it's grrrrreat! He had some e-mail problems that have since been resolved so that may be why some people have a negative experience.
Why buy a standard color scheme when you can have a 100% unique color? It's pretty cool having the only phantom in the world with a blue/gold splash.

Lol, it's in our sigs, I don't know how to make it clearer than "Co-president PM me to join."
I'm soooooo anxious. I want it, and I want it NOW. :mad:

nevermind what my sig says, i may be ordering that phantom as early as this friday (payday!). the funds i list in the sig is all the spare change i stash at the end of each day. it adds up but doesn't add up fast enough for my impatience.
