Gun wise, that is. I've been contemplating selling my Tippies and buying a Phantom since I love stock class play and play like once every 6 months anyway.

Just wondering what you guys would do.

Either way I'll still be the mod for Tippmann, just leave the family like CD did.

I think knowledge of a marker and its operation is more important than what marker a mod actually uses.

Tura doesn't know that stuff. At least I don't think he does.

So Tura, when are you going to Mod someone? You'll have nothing to refer to when troubleshooting a marker problem without a Tippmann Marker.

I vote Coenen.

$2 says that IF he does it's only for a Model 98, not all Tippmann Markers.

You should get an sl-68II. That way you can be a member of the tippmann family still and go stock class.

Greddy or Coenen , anyways have fun with your stock class and tell us how it goes. :)

Greedy
07-15-2004, 10:39 AM
Well if I were to ever even get considered I'd hand it off to Coenen.

But, Tura can't appoint a moderator but he could strongly recommend one. Tura's not leaving, he'll be around, he'll still be a mod and I doubt anyone will be modded.

Although it wouldn't be a bad idea.

Tura has had a Tippmann since I started paintballing... scary.

Empyreal Rogue
07-15-2004, 12:22 PM
Pfft, I've been here longer than ALL of you. Including Turambar!

But I don't care. Coenen would make a good moderator, if Turambar were to suggest someone to Andrew. Although, The Tippmann Forum DID have two mods (CD and C4) at one time. :D

07-15-2004, 12:28 PM
and your marker is a mag :P

Empyreal Rogue
07-15-2004, 12:31 PM
Well my MAIN marker is. I still have my Tippmann, it's my scenario marker since it has the M4 cosmetics.

I still plan to buy upgrades for it too. Occasionally I look through Model98.net and look for new fun things to do. I'm still very much into my Tippmann.

So neeeh! :P

snap shoot
07-15-2004, 12:32 PM
Alot of people seem to be going stock class to improve/show off at the field :P . Well just tell us what you get , and how it runs and all that stuff.

A stock class SL-68 II is sick

Turambar
07-15-2004, 06:02 PM
Well guys, I said I MAY be selling them. Not sure what I'm going to do yet.

Eryk: My m98 and a PC. And I've already made a diagram of how a m98 operates (minus the trigger). I just need an A-5 so I can answer most peoples questions about those :P

GB: I've had my m98 for over four years. ;)

Empyreal: Yeah, but C4 needed help in here and I was the one to do it. :P

I can't mod anyone. All I can do is suggest. Plus they have to become an Agent first. And I've already put in my suggestions for Agents. And no, I won't tell you who I picked.

Does Tippmann even make the SL-68 II still? Plus the SL-68 II stock isn't a stock class gun. I'd want one like spor posted a picture of. Which would take work and money.

The funny thing here is that CD also sold his Tippy and bought a phantom. Except where he left, I won't be. :P

Stock class is for the pimps and what not that have skill :P . Anyway have fun Phantoms are sick guns they really own and look nice.

i bought a phantom a year ago from county...its a shame the deal didnt go through....

07-16-2004, 04:50 PM
Time for me to reply.

I'd definitly sell the tippmanns for a phantom, and since you only play once every 6 months anyway, why let your tippmanns go to waste when some kid out there could be using them for the next 100 years.

I doubt i'll be leaving the family any time soon, my next gun either being a cocker or trix will have my 98 custom as a back up, then the 98 will become the rain/woodsball gun.

Turambar
07-16-2004, 08:33 PM
I probably won't sell the m98, but the PC will probably go. I can get $100 out of that easily. We'll see. :D

Cough it up Tura, just tell us it was Coenen.

Cuervo? o_O

What brings you to our end of the marker line?

Coenen
07-19-2004, 06:36 AM
If he wants to be quiet about who he picked for being an agent let him, there's no use in badgering him over it.

I find it strange that this thread pops up the day after I talked fairly seriously with some uber noob at my work about selling him my Tippmann. I don't think I'm going to do it though.

Tura, good luck in whatever you choose, I know you'll like the Phantom, they are excellent markers, and stock class will definitely make you a better player if you ever decide to go back to semi.

No offense, but I could personally care less if you leave the "Tippmann family".

So since you could care less, you do care? How kind. :)

Any-who, I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet.

He's not leaving, I don't think, our (Tippmann)forum. He just might be selling his M98.

Turambar

The only way I would ever leave permanently is if a person competent enough to mod Tippmann were made into a mod.;)

Empyreal Rogue
07-22-2004, 06:08 PM
What if you wanted an apprentice mod?

*opens wallet*

Oh, what's that Mr. Washington? You want who to be an agent? Oh, Empyreal Rogue? Why, that's me!

You have four people that are, Greedy, ERYK, Coenen, and Empyreal Rogue.


Plus, Coenen has modding experience at pbstar.

that would make empyreal our mod, and if he was our mod i would either have to mercifully kill myself or beat him senseless in his sleep

But your starting to agree with each! Thats a good start! You can hate Ace together! And besides It would be boring here with out you Tippmann Owns/KnuckinPhuts.

All that is over everybody. We're all cool now. Ask ER or TO if you have any doubts.

Empyreal Rogue
07-23-2004, 07:59 PM
You try and beat me mercilessly, if I'm somehow made a mod, and we'll see what happens. :badboy:

Actually I do have mod experience and from my own perspective I was very fair.

And actually I'm sad to admit that Coenen has actually been here longer than me. He joined 2 months before me. Unless I read his join date wrong. But the date you joined means nothing. I joined 4 months before Turambar. I think UT, Hal, Vayp, and Magnus are the only current active mods who joined before me. But I'm probably wrong. Plus there are people like Shadow221 who is more than worthy of being a mod but isn't and he joined in 2001. And then there's Teufelhunden who was, somehow, voted should-be-mod by PBR. It really just comes down to who is more worthy of the position than who has seniority.

Greedy
07-23-2004, 11:25 PM
Maybe two could be appointed. One that knows the M98 *cough* coenen *cough* and someone who knows the A-5. That would make some sense.

But the longer on here doesn't really mean much if you think about it.

Haha, I think it'd take a little more than $1 ;)

IMO there's only one person worthy enough (for my crazy high standards ;) ) to take over.

Plus I can't just make someone a mod. The other mods have to agree on them becoming an Agent, then agree on them becoming a mod.

Yes, as I said in the other thread. You may want to get ahold of a super.

CD got a Blazer before the Phantom.
Now he uses a E-Mag and a PGP.
