They exist everywhere in every sport and every walk of life. I have never wiped and have no need to. I have seen others wipe and when I see it I call them on it. It is a game we play it to have fun so why cheat? You cannot evaluate your skill if it comes from a cheat move. I call myself out if it is questionable and I cannot get a paint check. Hell i call myself out if it hits solidly and doesnt break. Honor is something that is earned and if you forego your honor for a recreational game then you probably had too little anyway. I think it is one of the reasons I like the Ref in play. If the guy next to you might be a ref the honor system is more effective. The guy beside you might or might not be a ref it keeps you honest. Ha besides if I get out I am coming right back with the next reinsert.
Cheater cheater- I have met those that skirt the rules or find the loop whole good for you but there are those that straight up cheat and here are my bottom feeder list.
Dead men dont talk. So why is it I see this so much i shoot a player and as he walks away I hear him say to his buddies. "He is behind the big tree at your one o clock." His buddies then let loose I dont really care its still a fifty fifty that they will hit me but still come on be honorable.
Fakers- These are the bastards that fake being out and try to get behind you. I admit it freely I fell for it once. I was guarding a crossroads and shot two or three guys out. they walk up the road with hands in the air saying dead man walking. Now I admit I should have checked for barrel condoms but then again if they were honest I shouldn't have too. Well this one guy gets about five feet behind me spins and stitches me point blank up my back. a ref watched the whole thing so I am Pissed and screaming at the guy that he is a cheating pirate hooker and that i would get him back in a honorable way. So everytime I saw this guy I took him out first and if he didnt put his barrel sock on I would shoot him a few times and wait still no BBD I would shoot again until he went out or put his barrel condom on. To this day I dont trust it that a gun is in the air if it doesnt have a barrel condom on in my mind you are still in.
Decievers- This seems crazy but it works and it really isnt cheating so I dont mind this one nearly as bad. You see a guy who says he is looking for something he dropped or lost or whatever. he walks past your lines then a few minutes later he is shooting the hell out of you! I have seen it work alot but I will go with a guy to help him....help him be honest if he says Oh thats alright I will find it I go with him anyway.
In the end it boils down to this cheaters never prosper.

Along with dead men walking...
ReplyDeleteIMO, if you say you're out, no matter what, you're out. Barrel in the air? Out.
But I do Dead Man Walking. I might walk behind a group of eliminated players, or sometimes just walk down the road towards the DZ. Never called hit, never raised my hands, never raised my barrel. When they ask if I'm out, I ignore them.
You'd be surprised how often just walking down the road works.
I don't consider that cheating
I like this one. All are good but this one hits home. To many times I will meet eliminated players on the road and they will spit out Intel. I will tell them back "DEAD MEN DON'T TALK" even though they are on my team. But by then its too late, the damage is done. I already know the information and find myself playing on it or looking for an alternate route.
