Announcing Team Double Tap

[Haloeclipse]

I had fun playin with you guys at Op:resurrection. Hope to play with you guys again someday.

[Tallahassee]

Everyone needs that arrogant team to diss on. haha

You realize, that's every team on AP?

Pretty sure most teams like to think that about themselves... But we are the ones who will take a challenge from any team for an even numbered team on team. Our only problem is the number of guys who keep leaving Oregon for New York or the Army! But we usually have 4-5 people in the state at a time. So open challenge for PLA APST etc. Just have to work around everyone's work schedules.

Wanting to have a "Challenge" Between Teams will create Bad Blood.

[Tallahassee]

Only if you let your feelings get hurt.

[Syracuse]

Bad blood? We won't care if we lose. So, unless you guys become pissy little girls when you lose There won't be any.

[Limpy]

This thread is going in a bad direction.

[Catch22]

I'll meet you at the bikeracks after last bell.

You don't exactly challenge teams on here. You show up at an OP and earn a good name for yourself through good sportsmanship and respectful attitudes (if you happen to rack up some sweet kills [which aren't typically tracked], that's a bonus).

I think what pickles is trying to say is, there's no way to prove a win in Airsoft and people will phony pony. Anybody can choose not to call a hit at any time. Even in paintball, where the projectiles leave a mark, people still cheat. The entire culture of tournament paintball is built around being able to cheat without getting caught. In Airsoft there's no certainty at anything. This creates doubt and leads to accusations of cheating, etc. Most force on force games are going to lead to teams having a shouting match about who wasn't calling hits. Like it or not, it's human nature.

People even cry foul after OPs were run by completely third parties about how the game "Must have been rigged so Side X would be Side Y." It's hilarious, but it's true. If they phony pony about that, what makes you think they won't phony pony about the outcome of a team on team game?

You want competition? Play any game that has a measurable obvious score; football, basketball, hockey, boxing, baseball, whatever. Airsoft isn't a sport, you aren't an athlete and you certainly aren't a professional. We're just participating in a hobby, because we enjoy it. Every time some new blowhard gets on here yammering about challenging other teams, I chuckle. Those guys and those teams don't last long. They peter out like a premature ejaculation, usually in some sort of very humiliating and very public display.

You wanna be extreme? Go drink Mountain Dew and Skateboard in traffic.

Matt Nailed it, It even can get out of hand when you pit two teams to face off and there is no prise, and they say they are just playing to have fun... They still cheat.

Pistol Comps, Sniper Comps, Rifle Comp's are the only Competition that can be scored and actually played without the cheating nature.

I did that earlier today....

....after I beat three airsoft teams at this tournament.

Jus' sayin'

You are my favorite.


As for the rest of you, I hear a lot of excuses but no real reasons. Just like was said above, we are not going to get our feelings hurt if we lose, so who will be left to phony pony??

Matt I think you answered your own problem. Accusations of cheating? Shouting matches? Bitching about outcomes? Sounds like someone is taking it as more then a hobby. I consider airsoft a hobby and you will never hear me bitching about anything to do with it! haha Those who do, are clearly taking it way too seriously.

Now why would a team not last long when the talk good? Well they probably sucked to begin with.

Lastly, I don't soda so no mountain dew, and the go play in traffic part, way over used. Time to get out of the house.

If its a hobby, then you don't need to worry about Team Comps and Challenges, Thats for a sport.

It breeds Cheating, and Bitching, no matter what you say or think. I think its the funniest thing when people pay 20$ to go a game and phony pony about the outcome like its some bleeding Competition.

Every time.


Now, a nice friendly Skirm hosted by a team to just kick it is cool. But no Challenge Paintball shit. I left paintball to get away from that shit.

That's an opinion not a fact.

It breeds Cheating, and Bitching, no matter what you say or think. I think its the funniest thing when people pay 20$ to go a game and phony pony about the outcome like its some f***ing Competition.

Every time.

See previous statement. You seem to think that because you think say "no matter what you say or think." you are proving yourself right over me. I still disagree because to those people bitching, it is a competition. You not agreeing with that doesn't make them wrong.

So now I have a question for you guys... why does it bother you that we think it could be fun to have a match between just two teams? Yes you already said it "breeds bitching and bad blood," but you will also agree that is just the people who take it to seriously? We don't ever phony pony about things as we don't take it to seriously. So if there was to be bitching it would have to come from the other team. Does that mean you are worried it would be you?

[Tin Man]

I was under the impression we already had group events, like the CQC tournaments BSP puts on.
