Burning Question

How much "support" are the forces behind 50 cal offering the Big Leagues to accept an unproven product?

My Blog. My Views. My Rules.

Baca's email

Welcome to my blog, View from the Deadbox. The operative word is my. My blog. My views. My rules.

My blog:
The purpose of this blog is to encourage a dialogue about tournament paintball and anonymity will hopefully encourage the participation of those who actually know what they are talking about. And yes, that includes me. (Though I don't really need any encouragement.)

My views:
Brilliant, visionary and almost always correct. Get used to it. Oh, and I'm humble too. Feel free to disagree as long as you are prepared to be wrong.

My rules:
One) excessive cursing will be deleted and may result in temporary banning. If you can't articulate a point of view without dropping a half dozen f-bombs I'm disinclined to value your opinion. Think of it as me helping you to clarify your thoughts. That, and I am hoping (against all previous experience) to maintain a level of civility that will allow for honest, open and potentially combative dialogue without crossing the line into personalities.

Two) rude, moronic and vulgar remarks aimed at specific persons rather than their views or actions will be deleted. Unless you manage to do it with real style and wit. I, of course, will be the final arbiter.

Three) no whining. I hate whiners. And Buckeyes but that's OT.

Four) off topic comments are unlikely to be tolerated. The dialogue is intended to be directed by the post topics offered. If you would like to see a particular subject addressed send me something about it directly and we'll see what happens.

FAQ

Why does 'View from the Deadbox' sound familiar? Maybe because it used to be the title of the column I wrote for a couple of paintball magazines for a few years.

Who is Baca Loco? What difference does it make? I don't care who you are so why so nosy? However, if you're a hardcore baller who has been around more than a week or two, are semi-literate and read the paintball mags chances are you already know. Either way it's irrelevant to the purposes of this blog.

How is paintball like golf? Golf is played outdoors on nice, well kept grass or, if something goes horribly wrong, off in the woods. Same with paintball.

How is a paintball made? What am I, Wikipedia?

Who are your sponsors? Who hasn't been one of my sponsors? I won't be trying to promote current sponsors on this blog nor will I take shots at non-sponsors. I don't give gun, goggle or gear advice so it really doesn't matter.

What's your view on cheating? It's wrong and has no place in the game. That's why I don't play scenario or Big Games.

What's your favorite marker? The free one.

Where did that awesome photo come from in the blog header? It is the work of photographer extraordinaire, Brandon Showers.

What's your favorite team? Grow up.

Who started the Rec vs. Tourney war? Some will say that's just the way it's always been. Others claim it's natural for the sides to be at odds. I say, aren't we all brothers under the goggles? I'm not sure but ask yourself who benefits? Follow the money. Could it be a covert plot of the Military Simulation Industrial Complex? As long as the war rages on there will be a demand for more paint, more markers and Big Paintball will continue to count its profits instead of the cost. Give peace a chance. That's all that I'm saying.

How do I get sponsored? You don't.

Will you send me any free stuff if I tell you what a big fan I am? No.

Is agg dead yet? Yes, it's time to move on to some new uber hip trendiness that everyone can follow to demonstrate their individuality.

Is it true the inside of Ollie Lang's gearbag smells like roses? No, strawberries and cream.

You don't really know any Pro players, do you? Rats, you caught me out.

What makes your opinion so important? It's my blog, d'oh! And has already been noted I'm almost always correct. There's quite a lot to be said for being right.
