i3666 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 No they are groupies. The people who always jump to the front in briefings hoping the marshall picks them for something. They hang around in the safezone in the areas most likely to lead to conversations with the marshalls. The ones who have been playing a site for years and think they are somehow different to every one else because they play every week at the same site (because they dont have a real life). They will be facebook friends with as many marshalls as will except the request. They will also try and name drop the marshalls because they like people to know they are bestest friends. When the marshall cracks a joke about something that happened they will always try to back them up with the all knowing head nod or shake. During the briefings when people are talking they will always try to help the marshall out with a nice loud "be quiet" shout because although they are not on the payroll they want everyone to see them as a figure of authority because they have the marshalls back. I am not saying you can't be friendly towards a marshall and have the occasional chat but try to remember they are just doing a job and that isn't being your bestest airsoft snuggle buddy. To the marshalls who do get too matey with players please stop because its a conflict of interest. To the players who fit the above description you are sad, pathetic, sycophantic tw*ts. I can totally relate to the 'be quiet' comment; I have actually seen that happen too, haha I think the bottom line is marshalls need to be non-biased and stay neutral, or like you say, it will lead to conflict.

BrightCandle Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 The quality of reviews is a big bug bear for me. I have bought quite a few shit products due to awful reviews and a big part of this is a lack of accuracy and range testing. You can never tell if when someone is shooting 100m whether its even remotely true or not, there is just so much garbage reviews due to amateur reviews and all the apparent pro reviews are actually sponsored. Its a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was "Maori" I would accept it being an autocorrect issue, but it isn't. It's fuckwittery at its finest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rc540 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 games finishing early due to the majority of a team cheating/not following rules; on par with this, people that can't follow instructions from a marshal... is it really smart or wise to get yourself banned from a site?

simonh Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Marshals that tell you how to play your game... Ie get inside that building and find the objective, when I've just actually taken out 4 of the opposing team by being where i was. Team members running across your line of fire without warning and then moaning that you have just blue on blued them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spuggy1uk Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Speaking of Marshals, I appreciate they can't always be blamed for occasionally wandering into and blocking the line of fire, but I do get annoyed when I have found a perfect concealed firing position to engage 'the enemy' and then a marshal appears with a camera and a bright orange vest to stand next to me and take some photos!
