Ok. As if you really care, here is my take on the whole wiping thing.
I have been reffing more then playing lately and while you contend that wiping is part of paintball, I disagree. It still sucks. If you are agressive and make a move and
get hit, your OUT. Not, your out "only if the ref sees it." Not, give my arm a quick slide on the bunker so I can play more. Not dive in the mud to cover that chest shot.. There are such things as gentleman's rules. I will deduct points and even eliminate players for wiping.
I mean this is the fundamntal element of paintball - if you are marked, then you are elimnated, PERIOD. If we are to comprimise that basic integrity of the sport, then why have rules at all?
I have no respect for those that bend the rules to thier advantage in this regard -- you might as well be in politics. Call me naive if you want, thats fine. Just don't do it on my field cause I WILL be watching.
