Of Clowns and Jesters

Akin to the classy and posh world of golf, Paintball is an expensive sport. You got to be prepared to spend a lot of money on equipments, jerseys and gears. On top of that, pellets are still comparatively expensive in Malaysia hence players have to sacrifice a lot of their spending on these; unless you are lucky enough to be fully sponsored like some teams (Ballbusters are VERY LUCKY indeed!).

Since almost everyone can play paintball, there will always be some wealthy dudes, loaded with money (mostly from inheritance) come and join the sport and spoil virtually almost everyone‘s frame of mind. They get involved with the sole intention to outclass everyone, neither with their skills nor talent, but with how expensive their gears are and how fast they can shoot (because they can afford to waste a lot pellets) even though out of 30 shots, none hit the target. They feel so proud to be invited to play for a team thinking it’s because they are a good player when in actual fact it’s because they can afford to pay. The funnier part is, some of these people think they can get certain female paintballer to be attracted to them, just because they can afford all the high-end equipments and gears. Well, the girls are probably attracted to the equipments or these dudes’ daddies (since they are the source of cash to these posers). The funniest part is when these dudes lavished the girl he has been eyeing for with a range of high end gears in the hope that one day she will fall for him. (That girl only fell for the game, and the gears, of course. When he finally realized he will never get the girl, he’ll tarnished her name, became a pussy and bitch about nothingness. Even when he finally settled with other girl, he still bitches about it and pretend as if he was a victim of a major heartbreak. LOSER!)

You’ve got to realize one thing, female paintballers are normally very tough and aggressive, so if they ever want to fall for a guy from paintball, the dude better be a GOOD player, or at least they don’t run like a girl (sissy!). It’s a self –abusive sports itself, why would these girls want to abuse their mind having a girlish boyfriend? It would be a tolerable situation if these clowns are at least humble and truthful, but the fact that they are conceited, pompous and bigheaded but with a talent of naught and too proud to train extra harder, make you wonder which planet they came from.

Not only that, because everyone is standing in line (while pushing others) for sponsorship, there will always be backstabbing and sabotaging. There will always be ass-kissers, and wipers. There will always be clusters of people who only mix within their crowd and take joys in putting down others. There will be “multi-faceted” people who are nice to everyone but at the same time is also leisurely bad mouthing the same people. The paintball world is such a drama, and its getting intense day by day, as the population grows. I guess these happen everywhere, what differentiates it is how each of us reacts to the “drama”.

There are no prerequisite in order to play paintball. Everyone is welcome. Indeed, drama and chaos is very much giving “life” to the sports itself. Therefore, play paintball if you want to, stop if you can’t take the pain (physically and mentally), and continue playing if you’re good at it. To the jesters and clowns (with high end gears but a skill of zilch), if you quit, what else can we laugh at? So please don’t stop entertaining us. Humor us with your arrogance and emptiness.


Paintball, everyone can play.
