It's OK, I don't think you're a psychopath, I think you're just playing one on the internets. I do feel for players when they get hurt and have on many occasions chosen not to shoot at point blank range players and taken a hit when I could so easily have hit them and hurt them. I wear proper protection for the sport so BBs bouncing off have not worried me being shot on the fingers at point blank though ouch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm it sucks. I'd feel a LOT less empathy for someone wearing shitty eyepro though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice. I made the front page of the local news! Local councillor that had been campaigning for traffic calming lives right by where I had the accident. She went straight the press and implied that she could hear the poor little dear screaming in agony (which was bollocks because she was in a rather mute state of shock) and made the whole thing sound like it was my fault on account of being a nasty biker that obviously rides too fast, eats babies and kicks puppies. Obviously the paper didn't bother with any sort of fact checking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasman Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 love the picture. On the site I play yes we get the brief and if the more experienced players see bad eye protection we tell the idiots aiming for full eye seal where possible. if they insist on being pricks even after being warned with witnesses they don't have a leg to stand on. Note, site sells full seal goggles for around £5/6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
