[sidamazo]

y the hell r u here?

[Shadowblade]

Jesus...okay. First things first. sidamazon, did you even bother reading The Code of Conduct? Second, nerfchild, you do realize there is a poll function right?

Alright, back on topic: You are on a NERF forum asking about airsoft and paintball. Enough said. This is a pointless post. Everyone has their own opinion and each sport is different. Airsoft/paintball/nerf should not be compared, as each has their own equipment/tactics.

To answer the question:
Cost: Nerf
Fun: all of them, in their own way
Popularity: depends, but I'd say paintball

Well, obviously since you are on a nerf website, everyone will choose nerf.

Shadowblade beat me to my next point.

You posted this in the mods section of NERF HAVEN. What kind of fucking responses do you think you'll get. Everyone here likes Nerf, and it's pretty fucking ovious that it's cheaper than airsoft and paintball. And you posted this in the mods section. What are you modding, my way of thinking? I doubt you'll last long here.

I PM'd VACC, chill everyone.

[nightfinder]

Guys.. Chill I think he Actually WANTS us to show our opinions on it...
We all know Nerf is going to win but what about second and third?

[Echnalaid]

It's funny how everyone is flaming Nerfchild, but no one seems to notice Sidamazo's atrocious post. Unless the first point Shadowblade addressed was the flame.
Sidamazo, read the CoC. It is law here, like it or not, it's here to stay.
I would give you the link, but that teaches you nothing.

[BendyStraw]

WarGames?
The only winning move is not to post.

Sorry guys my stupid brother got onto my PC while i wasnt looking please dont ban me.

[BustaNinja]

I like this "stupid brother" theory. It would explain why the post was better written and didn't have typos or grammar problems.

Sounds completely legit.....

Seriously Nerfchild. We already know that douche nozzle airsofters and paintballers think we are dumb. We don't care. We have fun, and thats all there is to it. Making a post about a survey you took has no place. We get it, people think its dumb. I think its dumb people spend all that money on markers, and guns, when we've all spent maybe $200 or less (general majority. Plenty of people who spend more... NerfonFeir) and we are happy. S'all good in da hood baby

[Kid Flash]

I play all 3... Sure I like paintball more but Nerf would be my second choice. That could be because I just like to mod the guns in my free time though and I have never actually been to a Nerf war.

[deadshooter711]

If it was your brother that posted the topic and not you then can't you just edit it and say you made a mistake or something instead of just leaving it there?

[AJZ]

Whether this topic is useless or not, I feel I should express my opinion...

Paintball Pros:
Fucking outrageous whn you have 40 or more people
Easy to play
Adaptable

Cons:
EXPENSIVE with a capitol E...
Hurts quite a bit from short distance

Paintball is definately a great experience if you have not gone paintballing before. I made the mistake in buying a relatively expensive paintball gun and have yet to use it. Paintballing is my third favorite, but it's a definite badass sport. Absolutely Effeminate with a large group such as a church. Great to play, but not as a sport or hobby. That's for the people that enjoy it more than I.

Airsoft Pros:
More enjoyable than paintball in the long run
Great in almost every way
Great sport to get into
Great hobby aswell
EXTREMELY realistic

Cons:
Expensive if you get into the high quality guns: if you have the money, high quality is the way to go

Airsoft's main downside is how much it costs. I can't quite grab what Im trying to say, but it's worth the money if you buy ONE high quality gun, and airsoft regularly. I am in fact part of a local airsoft team, and we skirmish within our team, aswell as play other teams. I FUCKING hate the BDU's or whatever them fucking camo outfits are called, but it makes you feel better when you wipe that bitchy smile off their face with some white plastic. Overall, airsoft is a great sport and hobby, IF you have the devotion and money like I do.

NERF Pros:
NERFtastic!
FOAMalicious!
DARTomatic!
Really, NERF is a cheap and all around a smarter hobby
I could give so many more pros, but you guys know them all

Cons:
People get a bit too obsessed...I'm sorry but 1,000 bucks for a Lancer-like longshot and 200+ bucks for a Crossbow is bit excessive if you ask me. Great worksmanship and a great primary worthy gun, but get yourself a DAMN PAS or Doomsayer!

NERF is definately a great hobby for me since it gives me a sort of pleasure and excitement. You can modify NERF, cut up NERF guns, and creat something truly spectacular like the Lancer or Doomsayer. NERF wars totally own and modified Titans can kill small game. What's not to like?

In conclusion, I am loyal to airsoft and NERF. Paintball is just too much fun not to do, but the paintballs just cost too much money...anyway, NERF, airsoft or paintball as you will...the main point is to have fun and enjoy your short lives. Well maybe shorter than others...

On Topic: Just NERF already...

Ha hahahah!
Not laughing at your post, it was great. I'm laughing because I thought you were LSWielder because of your avatar. I was reading it and thought, wow that kid has really changed. And then I realized it was you! haha

But anyway, what AJZ says is true.

[s3an967]

I agree with you AJ.Z

[cheesypiza001]

Wow (not as in world of warcraft) A.J.Z. Great pro/con list!

I completely agree with you on the NERFtastic!, FOAMalicious!, and DARTomatic! stuff.

Sorry guys my stupid brother got onto my PC while i wasnt looking please dont ban me.

Hm, seeing as none of us can tell if that is lie or not, I will give you the benefit of the doubt. I suggest you go back, fix those prior posts/threads, and apologize to the admins quickly (although I'm not sure if they'll be merciful or not).

[TheNERFArmageddon]

Wrong forum. but to answer your question. all three, though paintball is expensive.

[VACC]

Sorry guys my stupid brother got onto my PC while i wasnt looking please dont ban me.

Well, technically I'd be banning your brother, right?

Look, there isn't anything in either of your topics that doesn't annoy me, and that's very minimal due to you. You posted in the wrong section concerning topics that are, generally, fairly taboo on the boards. While any amount of reading before posting might have turned you onto these facts, nothing in your posts really blows the COC up too badly.

What is more egregious is the community response to your topics. Why are we feeding the fucking trolls? Not only did half the assholes in this topic jump to some ridiculous assumptions, but they then begon feeding what they clearly felt was a troll.

Look, blaming it on the little brother is the oldest and lamest trick in the NIC, but the responses this guy was able to stimulate with so little effort are just embarrassing. Everybody needs to chill out.

I WANT to hand out some punishments, but I'm afraid I'd just end up muting or banning everyone in either of this twit's two threads. So for now I'll close these things. Next time, there are gonna be some lockers to clean out.
