"pwning" dem noobs

[Evil_Wayz]

Can someone please explain to me the point of experienced, skilled players embarrassing the hell out of people new to the sport? I don't understand why you would take pride in eliminating a player who isn't as good as you. I usually gun for the guy that is the best player on the field.

[yustink2much]

either they don't believe they are as good as they really are, they are jerks, or they are bored

[hybrid-sniper]

Insecurity or they try far too hard to impress people.
I really don't care about who i shoot at, if i can shoot you then i will.

[thekid]

dem noobs deserve it... :dodgy:

No but really usually its just so either A. the noobs don't embaress them, B. They want to be able to say they got someone out, or C. they don't want to get pwned by the good people.

[deanr22]

:tdown: It's pure weakness, there is no sport in it.:tdown:

[EEric22]

The only people that do that are those who are insecure about themselves and their playing ability. They need to beat up on smaller people to make themselves look big. If you play with good / decent-minded people they'll usually take it easy.

[HURLEY77]

I really don't care who i shoot, I shoot the people in front of me... lol.

[thekid]

:tdown: It's pure weakness, there is no sport in it.:tdown:

so your telling me if there was a "noob" in the open and you had a clear shot on him you wouldn't? Sure it doesn't show much skill but we all can admit that if you played against some noobs you would shoot them and not think you are weak.

[Ebonclaw]

It's smarter to gun for the best guy on the field from a pure tactical standpoint. I'll engage the better players first, it improves my skill level and lets newer players stay in the game longer and maybe shoot some of the newbies on my team. Usually I try to let the newbies engage each other and I'll force the better players to engage me or pay for not doing so. If I win my battes, then I'll go finish off the rest of the team, but usually not at a full tilt assault....when I engage the remaining newer players, I'll use them as a drill, for instance, instead of taking the flank and just shooting them in the back, I'll get into a bunker near them to work on my snapshooting and limit myself to always going back into my bunker and popping out elsewhere instead of just hanigng out firing strings.

[hurleyhonda22]

Usually I Gun for the best players on the field, more specifically a few older guys who used to have a SP and Evil sponsorship. Then after that run throughs usually commence on the campers.

[HungryHippo7735]

dont get me wrong, i like getting a ton of people out in a game, meaning playing with noobs, but i prefer playing with people of my own skill level, or even higher. it just seems more funner to me having to rely on my skills to win a game, instead of walking around, spraying ropes, and getting a ton of noobs out. however, almost everyone who goes to my field are noobs, so im forced to play with them :rolleyes:.

[soccerjacks12]

An elimination is an elimination. If noobs get in the way of me taking out another player, I'll do it. Going specifically for noobs is pretty lame, but if they are annoying and getting in your way, you have to take them out like any other player.

[Jodo_Kast]

Yeah, if I can get a noob out, why not go ahead and tag him out, but I dont "hunt" or "target" them in games. When they play their bunkers loose, which most do, I think it would actualy be sort of a teaching tool to shoot at, or around their arms,etc (What evers haging out from the bunker) to teach them they need to play tighter, and to help them become better players.

[mjr_paranoid]

I really don't care who i shoot, I shoot the people in front of me... lol.

Agreed. It so happens that noobs are often easier eliminations.
I don't hunt for noobs. I don't really hunt for anyone.But if they have a marker, they are a target and can potentially shoot me. So I take out whoever I can.
If two good players and three noobs are the opposition, taking out whoever is the easiest target initially is my goal. Then you have the odds on your side to hunt down whoever evaded the initial vollies.

But taunting a noob is pitiful and pointless. Talking to them later and maybe describing to them how you saw their elimination happen is much more constructive. If they are in the mood and not being pissy.

Being a noob means getting owned sometimes.
Players who aren't noobs get owned too.

[coolrazer]

I just shoot people that are shooting at me. I usually don't play against newer players though. It doesn't help me at all to "pwn dem noobs"

[Tweeters]

I thought it was just an expression where there's nothing behind it. it's like "blew that joker's face off" or if you're from before 2003, "killed those suckers".

it's an expression of superiority after victory because, well, you beat them.

unless you're talking about like, "experienced" rec players trying to embarass newer players. in that case i have no clue, i've always put the two in the same category because they both suck at paintball.

[LD17]

a kill is a kill is a kill! Noob or not. shoot first ask questions later. Senario your a pro " so you say " you take a beed on a noob running in the open you telling me you won't pull that trigger finger com'on. Take no prisoners. Don't hate the player hate the game. Plus don't take it personal..lol

[Radius]

I shoot anything that moves, sometimes my teammates get angry, but oh well...

But if I see some new player having troubles I'll help them out. Give them pointers, switch teams to take them out and show them how things are done, stuff like that.

It's just a game after all, there's nothing at stake except your own status in the eyes of other players.

[Evil_Wayz]

bringing this back on topic a bit.... New players are targets like everyone else. Easy targets at that. Im not talking about shooting them, either because they are in your way or because they are being stupid or playing stupid, Im talking about humiliating them, taunting, etc. Last weekend i observed what I felt to be a flagrant amount of taunting, bonus balling, etc by a team that was allegedly sponsored by Redz against a church group. How are these players supposed to join our ranks and reach a skill level where they would actually be worth playing if the so called pros make them hate the sport or feel like they will never be any good at it?

[JChan819]

To tell you the truth, I can't stand people like that. I, as any other person, would get frustrated at some newer players, but that crosses the line. That's just ridiculous. I'd honestly look into bonusballing the 'alleged Redz players'. That makes me sick.

[pacman552SD]

i just shoot whos in front of me and if its one of my freinds who i paintball wit i bonus ballem


look at this noob lol

lol "redz sponsored". no one is ever actually "redz" sponsored. they're probably just a bunch of noobs who think they're cool because they all threw down for a bulk order of redz crap.

be sure to differentiate between a "pro", a "tournament player" and a "scrub". its almost always a bunch of scrubs who do that.

[RKayne]

First time I ever went out I was 'marked for destruction'. This was after being in the Army and serving active duty, hehe. So what if I weigh 120 and am 5'4". Be surprised what comes in small packages. I noted earlier the mention of tactics. Sure, go after the noob, makes sense to me...as you are stalked and taken out one by one by the more 'experienced' players :D Tell you what, my first time out may have been my best...purely because I was one of the last out due to the assumption that I was 'new' all the way around... I LOVE PAINTBALL!!!!

[Evil_Wayz]

For the record, I did use the words "allegedly sponsored" and " so called pros."

I'm no judge of paint ball by any means, but they were good. I'd give them a 10 for skill and a -32 for sportsmanship.

Edit: If they weren't sponsored by Redz, then someone paid some serious money to get them all looking alike. Redz gear, to include those spiffy new Redz ion bodies all around.

[Ebonclaw]

Well, I'd find out who they were, call up Redz, and sever thier sponsorship.

I've seen things like that happen on rare occasion at my field. I'll often join the losing team to even things up a bit, or invite them to come play with the group of walk ons that I usually play with.
"Screw those guys, come play with us" usually does wonders to help out players in that situation. More people need to be willing to step up to the plate and give a little bit of their time and their day of play to help some others that aren't having a good time. That's what got me hooked on paintball. The first tiem I went, I as terrible and getting shot up and laughed at, until a couple of older guys invited me to come play with them. As a result of that action, I think I had a better day and better image of paintball than if I had gone out there my first time and lit everyone up.
Being able to counter a negative image with a positive one is a lot more impactful than not having a negative image to begin with, if that makes any sense, because as soon as someone cool steps up to help you out, your image of paintball players is essentially shot(no pun intended). When someone steps in, it says to that new player "yeah, there's some jerks like the rest of the world, but the nice guys that play are really cool".

On a side note...whe playing with walk on games, it's much more strategically valuable to go after the more experienced players (i.e.e run for the smae tapeline they're on). The newbies can fight on the other tapeline with the other newbies for a while, but if one tapeline of newbs is facing down the experienced players, they're going to get wiped out and you're going to get shot in the back, end of story. So it's a lot smarter to try and target the experienced ones and clean up the noobies later. It lets them get thier fun in and get some eliminations, so they don't just get thier butts handed to them all day.

[SHBASS]

I try to do what you do when I am faced with only noobs left on my team Ebon. I only one-ball and don't do much more. There is an exception: the guy that just came from military boot camp and thinks he's the **** at paintball.

In a tourney where there are 3 noobs that mis-interpret the word "rookie" and enter, however, recieve no mercy. My philosophy is "Sorry, but I paid the same money to be here as you guys and we are playing competitively". Plus there was one team in my last tournament we felt kinda sorry for and went easy on and lost because we underestimated them.

[edudcixlsyd]

redz doesn't offer sponsorship it's more of discounts that aren't too great. The only the team they truly sponsored was Arsenal last season

[Lopez17]

Usually the kind of idiots that taunt and brag about the overshooting of newbies generally suffer from mediocrity and aren't that good. Players who are able to ball at a higher level generally don't worry about torching newbs.

Like Evil's getting at there's shooting out newbs which most players do without any passion or prejudice and then there's shooting them out and talking smack about it while intentionally bonus balling them. Idiots do the latter. It probably makes them feel good about themselves. In many ways, these players...sponsored or not, utilize these types of actions to illustrate that they're one step above noobs themselves.

At my field, if one of the sponsored guys does this, I'll get his sponsorship revoked. It's bad for business. 99 times out of 100, it's the wannabe's that are the culprits. And frankly, if I see guys doing that, it motivates me to head hunt for them later. Personally, I find it much more rewarding to shoot a challenging target rather than an easy one.

Tournament paintball is a different story but Evil's post (at least in my mind) seems to be talking about casual walk-on play.

[VagabondStarJXF]

I don't go for anyone i particular when I play. I never have a specific target. That takes too much effort out on the field. :D

There's only 2 times when I'll change my game plan. The first is when I get some foul mouthed git who thinks because he's got some high end marker and I've got a Spyder that means that I'm a newb. There's a lot of Anti-Spyder feelings amongst a lot of the players I've talked with over the years and it just grinds my gears when a total stranger comes up to me and berates me because I didn't buy an Ion or choose not to pay out the large amounts of cash for an Angel, Ego, etc (or get someone else to!). That being said, most of the people I play with kinda respect my marker choice now. It's kind of a running joke that newbs (to the field), whether experienced or not, talk down to me and the regulars give me respect. As most experienced players will know "It ain't the Marker but the Player."

The other time I change gameplan is when I get someone wiping in front of me or my friends and/or playing on when I/my team have tagged him/her out. Generally it's only the people who are newbs (to that field) that do this. If they don't want to play fair then we don't need to hold back in the name of sportsmanship. Makes sense to almost everyone I play with or against. We all enjoy bonus balling cheaters!

[Evil_Wayz]

Indeed. If you are paying to play, and playing for money, take no prisoners. Make that paper, booboo. :)

I was referring basically to that group of players that think because they have been playing for awhile, are sponsored by the field, or sponsored in general that somehow they are paintball gods and can act like *******s. If bunkering a girl from a church group retreat makes you feel like a man, you are a scumbag.

[Evil_Wayz]

There is an exception: the guy that just came from military boot camp and thinks he's the **** at paintball

Heh. I played paintball for the first time right after I got back from bootcamp and I HATED it. Why? Not only becuase the tactics I just finished learning didn't work, but also because those guys I'm talking about, with their own equipment spent every game wiping us out from a distance because we had crappy rentals, and in between games talking about how much we sucked. I didn't get it then, and I don't get it now how wiping up the field with people have never played before somehow makes you a superior player. In my mind, good players are supposed to wipe up the field with new players. There is no challenge or prestige in doing so.

Agreed.
Sometimes whomping on the helpless is fun, like clubbing baby seals, but normally it is to be looked down upon.

[Lenny17]

My local field does their best to mix up the walk-on teams, so you rarely have a group of experienced guys against a group of new players. I've also found that the players tend to group up in such a way to keep the new players from being completely unassisted. I don't know if I just happen to play with a group of mostly decent guys, but a lot of the garbage isn't there. Sure, there is always a healthy amount of trash talking and teasing, but never to the point of going overboard.

[ROC_Paintball]

Usually I do this because

A) He gives me a smart comment earlier in the day

B) He hits on the chick I bring

C) He has alot of talk

D) Because there is noone else to play and I'm bored

E) I already got the best player out

F) Or its a 7 on 2 full of them :D

[LD17]

I played with a church group. 50 guys! Probably 75% was their first time. I find it strange that they ended up playing against experienced players. I mean pick you poison. Play with your level and move up as you get better. Now should the experienced players beat up on them, I guess only they can answer that. Don't play in games that you don't feel comfortable playing in. If you don't have options then suck it up. In the end it's for fun. I guess there will always be a clown to ruin things.

I think you might be missing the point here. Sure it might be the owner or the manager's fault for not splitting that team up, and yes, when you go to a public, for profit facility there are going to be people who are better and worse than you who have as much right to play there as you since they paid, but I think the bottom line is paintball should be fun. Being overshot, bunkered at close range, cussed/taunted, and generally being made to feel unwelcome does not strike me as fun. Basically they were paying to be abused.

But were you running around before the games bragging and trash-talking? I am not prejudiced to the men and women of the armed forces of our country, but when they start trash talking and acting like they're gonna own everyone, it's nice to give them a piece of humble pie. It kind of irks me. If you went out there and were actually modest, I would not treat you any differently. To me it's kind of like a Freshman in high school acting like he's a Senior.

[Crede777]

Story:

A few weekends ago, EEric and my team were participating in a 5-man local. No cash prize, for fun, we were undefeated, whatever.

One team in our bracket was brand new. It was comprised of kids ranging in age from probably 11 - 15 and this was their first tournament. We were watching them play the game before they played us, and one of the opposing players ran down the field during a 5 on 1 and lit the remaining kid up like there's no tomorrow.

This resulted in the player being pulled for bonus balling and being spoken to. Regardless, we (OhioPBX) could see how demoralized these kids were because they had not won a game. Specifically the poor dude who got lit up.

So right before we played them, I approached the kid, introduced myself (to him and his mom who was there with him) and offered to trade him guns for the game. I'd let him use my Ego and I would use his Spyder. In reality, it was just for fun and I wasn't too worried about anything.

Turns out the kid shot me and my brother out. We won regardless, but he got us.

Best of all, though, it visibly brightened his day. :tup:

(If you want more heart wrenching stories, talk to Eff :) )

No, but I was wearing my own cammies instead of the rental jumpsuits and i kept getting " them military tactics won't work out here boy" and " guess you army guys aren't that good after all" (I'm a friggin MARINE.!) and a bunch of other crap that made me really want to do violence.

So what if they over estimated your ability.:rolleyes:

I'm not sure how, but I will get you for that one.

[woodsballer423]

i try to play with people who are petter than me because im somewhat of a noob myself, but im not THAT bad, i know shat im doing. But if there is someone who is just starting paintball who is standing right out in the open, i would probably shoot them. Not to be mean or anything just because they were on the other team and they were shooting twards me/my team. after the game i would probably go give them a pointer on how to stay tucked in when your at a buncker or whatever. U know?

[SHBASS]

No, but I was wearing my own cammies instead of the rental jumpsuits and i kept getting " them military tactics won't work out here boy" and " guess you army guys aren't that good after all" (I'm a friggin MARINE.!) and a bunch of other crap that made me really want to do violence.

Then those guys are just being jerks. If you're not going around talking about it all the time and acting bad-*** they should not say anything to you. And as far as them rating your military skill on your paintball abilities, that's just plain rude. They contradict themselves.

And on another note..... it's also different when you're playing newbs in a tournament for fun. There's no need to light them up there. As far as not letting them win, sorry, too bad.

[eyedea40]

I play my game and if i see a shot i take it, I shoot every one ... if happens to be a seasoned vet or a n00b i don't hunt for them.

[jax]

I try to treat everyone equal. Mr. Colt made that possible. If I have a shot I take it. If its a noob I will not bunker him and try to stay at least 30 feet from him to make sure this doesn't happen. I try not to hammer their bunker mercilessly. If its a noob I will put a strict limit on how fast I shoot and how much I shoot BUT I will shoot a noob just like anyone else. How easy I take it on them depends on how quickly in the game I run into them. If its at the end of the game I will snap shoot with them till we get bored. If its the beginning then they get shot just like everyone else. But I ALWAYS stop after the game and talk to them. I try to teach them to play better. If they are really bad I will tell them where I am going to go and how to stop me from getting there. I always try to help them make it more challenging for me.

Cruel? Maybe. I play hard. Always. When I don't I get my head taken off. If a noob gets a good shot on me I ALWAYS congratulate him on it. You can play noobs like everyone else but with self control. Its how you treat them before and after the game that makes the biggest difference. I still get lit up. I love playing people that are better than me. Most noobs are the same way. They want to learn from better people. Its all in how you make that experience for them. You personally can make it a good one or a bad one. Do you have to bunker them and bonus ball them? No. Can you treat them like equal and teach them to be better? Yes.

I learned early on. Give ANYONE an inch and they can lite you up like a christmas tree.

[SHBASS]

^Jax FTW on newb niceness debate. I remember one time I went to Gatsplat (north texas ballers? anyone?) and there was a group of people renting guns. They drew straws or something and decided on who was gonna do a 2 on 2 with these local rookie guys. One got shot real early on. They get good angles on the other one, but don't pound him. Finally, one guy walks out into the open (long ways away from the kid, actually) and yells "surrender!". The kid is soo focused on the other guy he doesnt hear him, so he yells it as loud as he could about 4 more times. The kid finally just looks at him for a couple seconds. The guy yelling just one-balls him right in the 'nads. I felt sorry for the kid, and I didn't think the other guy meant to do that to him, but it was pretty funny.

[jax]

When it comes to noobs, its safer for everyone to treat them as equals and handicap yourself. It sounds funny but its true. It seems like everytime I trully let up and take it easy on them I get a little sloppy. Then either I get shot in a bad place or I accidently shoot them in a bad place. So its generally safer and funner for both of us if I treat them like they ARE going to shoot me and I handicap myself. This makes me play smarter and safer and makes me shoot more accurately which means I'm shooting safer. Its then up to me as to how much I handicap myself. IE. Can't use my pods, no ropes of paint, 30' rule (I try very hard not to get this close), one outs, no posting, etc,. It just depends on their level and the level of their team. But at any point if I can shoot them then I do. I never hold back on a shot or miss on purpose and I bump up when I can. And Always go over the game with them when the game is over. If you are going to take the time to play with them then you should take that same amount of time to teach them. This applys to both speedball and woodsball. There is no difference.

If you aren't going to help them learn then you have no business playing with them.

[Evil_Wayz]

If you aren't going to help them learn then you have no business playing with them.

i personaly don care whos in front of me cause wheter its r first time or ur 100th time im gonna try my best to git u. but when i play with ppl i know, i like to go against the hardest ppl i can so i git better quicker:cool:

[pbmike1888]

people gun for the noobs because alot of noobs talk pure crap out on the field. ive seen it plenty of times. plain and simple...dont talk crap and you wont get hunted.

[8legedspyder]

well, some times i do it cuz im bored or i feel like a donkey, but why some people shoot noobz is because a lot of xperinced people use newbs as fodder, (in do large games not much)so if there isnt dum newbs on the feild they can focus all the power on the better people, but this is just what ive gathered, pball is like chess, noobs=pawns and the back row is the real fighters, so if a pawn is lucky enough to get all the way to the other side of the bord then he becomes a better peace and is no longer a pawn

other times I love to hit a newb in the mask, laugh my head off, and make my freind piss them selvs laughing but after i always show them the error of their ways, so i am a nice jerk. Like this one kid up at first strike in gainsville, we were on a woods ball feild and when the ref says go, this one newb sprints 3/4 of the way up the feild, and he dosent notice me at a bunker paralell to him, so i pop him once in the mask and he goes "HOLY (s-word)" as loud as he could. so after the match i was renacting it for my freinds, and they laughed their heads off. then i when to the kid ( hes now in tears because he took a shot from a few other guys on the feild) and i said "DUDE, dont run so far up the feild and be aaware of what opponent is where, sadly he just blew me off

[Evil_Wayz]

[Realtwisted]

Bass just to answer your question earlier i ball in grapvine

one time like my 3rd time playing it was my last game and i had half a hopper. Some guy that had been shooting me all day walks right into the open right in front of me needless to say i took the chance and he had orange legs for the rest of the day. (he was in shorts.) Just a taste of when noobs fight back.

[SHBASS]

I think it's funny as heck when a rookie/novice player doesn't even try to shoot the newbs and focuses more on the real threats and gets pwned by a little noob kid.

[Evil_Wayz]

lol!

Case in point, my brother , who has been to Iraq TWICE with the Marines, got shot in the head by a ten year old his first game back in the world.

That was funny.

[SHBASS]

Maybe instead of highly trained Marines, we should just send little kids to Iraq. The littler the better! They obviously think like the terrorists and have the shooting skills. They even both wear diapers... just in different places.

[indianajones6]

idk, pwnin noobs is a hobby of mine

[4THDEGREE]

I tend to be indiscriminate and shoot everyone. I am am no respector of either talent or noobness.

[JChan819]

4th hit the nail on the head that time. Simply put.

[Evil_Wayz]

I tend to be indiscriminate and shoot everyone. I am am no respector of either talent or noobness.

And as I have said before, that is fine. That is fair, that is equal. Everyone is available for pwnage.

That's not the subject at hand though.

I am indiscriminate when it comes to choosing targets also. But if there are inexperienced players on my team I tend to try to help them out if/when I can.

What is the point of “Pwning Noobs” anyways, we were all Noobs once. Show some respect for your fellow paintballers. Discouraging people to play by “pwning” them means there will be less people playing.

I do the same as Jax. I try to make the be more aggressive and move up by toying with them. I stick me head outside the bunker, yell, wave and almost mock them. This normally frustrates the newer players to the point where they move up to try to get me. And if they do, I congratulate them.

but if they talk crap I'm all balls to the walls/ no mercy.

I Play with people with a mixed ability if they are a noob they will be shot out..... if they are experienced it may take longer.....I bunker everyone the same.......and i shoot people up all the same...... I play hard and this is how i play and win........I excpect the opposition to play hard too.......if not they will pay:)
I treat all players on my local Sup'air site the same i only play "nice" at rental/rec ball fields.
If they ask for advice i will give it to them..

I pulled a runthrough on these 3 dudes yesterday, and after i shot them i kept moving back and found 5 new players sitting behind a bunker not knowing what was going on. I called myself out, didnt feel like shooting them all :/
