Man, this makes our problems with cheaters seem small in comparison...

==================
Ok to start off I ref at a local field in Toronto (Area 51). Recently we've been cracking down on rule-breakers (especially one of the managers, who has went almost nazi-insane with these rules). Usually I get Mondays off because another ref comes in, and it is also half price, so my friend's can come and play for reasonably cheap as well. The ref, Terry, is probably around 50 yrs old, and one of the more influential paintball players that I have met. He is of a calm nature, and is probably one of the most reasonable person I know. It takes a lot to piss him off. Some of you may know him as a member of Charlie Co. (I believe he is the captain as well)
So anyways I go in for the usual Monday night games. I arrive on scene with 2 other regulars, one of whom is another ref, the other being a good friend of mine which Terry knows as well. So we enter, and it's quite packed compared to recent Mondays around 30 - 40 people (10 of whom had a private party going on). I say my usual hellos to the manager, and the ref.
I begin to gear up and load up along with my friend's
Before I head onto the field, the manager approaches me, and tells me that a specific group of people have been causing problems. He points them out to me. It just so happens that they're a group of "gangstas". About 12 black guys (sorry to say that, but it's the only way I could describe it to you, and give you a feel for the attitude going around). After which as well the ref approaches me, and tells me that he's been shot at purposely by those guys, and he's been hit 4 times, and once in the head, so now he has to go out armed (with his 05 Speed).
Also to fill you in before we proceed any further, we have several rules (as like many other fields) that must be abided to:
* Do NOT take off your mask on the field
* Your barrel bag must be on if you are not on the field and playing
* 10 foot mercy rule
* No blind-firing
* No wiping
Pretty basic rules right? I thought so, but once again I have been proven wrong.
So anyways onward with the story. I head onto the field, before the game even starts, half of them take off their masks to look around. I was pretty sure they were doing that to piss off the ref. I yelled at them to put their masks on, to which they said "No". No? It's for your own safety.
So after they decided to put on their mask (which took about 5 minutes) the game began. They wanted to play with eachother, because they haven't played with eachother the entire night, apparently. So there was about 12 of them (all renting) vs. 20 of us (renters and owners). I laughed.
My team headed to our side, and they headed to theirs. Off the break, I shot 3 of them, and yelled at them to leave, which they replied with by blind firing at me. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? So I kept going, there was an unbelievable amount of blind firing comming from them, a heavy fight raged on against these cheaters. My friend ended up taking out 3/4 of them, even then the ref had to shoot them each a couple of times to get them out of the game.
I finally got sick of lobbing, and ran across the field onto their flank and unloaded about 1/4 hopper on them, I hit 6 of them, all with visible breaks. I yelled "YOU'RE HIT LEAVE NOW", they yelled "NO WE'RE NOT!" and wiped it all.
Ok so here's where I take you into my mindset and ask you this: Do you keep shooting at these people? Or do you keep yelling? Keep in mind that they are shooting at you. So I chose the obvious, shoot back. My mentality is if you want to cheat you will pay for it.
1 1/2 hoppers later, I outflanked them again, and made it to their bunker, and yelled "SURRENDER!" (I'm a nice guy, I don't like to bunker renters, even if they are cheating.). I guess they finally came to their senses, and they decided to leave, saying "Don't shoot us, we're leaving." I told them to leave and they won't get shot. Well as soon as I turned my back they shot 3 rounds at me, so me, being pissed off already, turned back and shot them each back. They ran in fear.
So there's about 3 of them left who made it into another bunker. I reached their building, pointed my marker on their backs and yelled "Surrender or get shot!" At this point I was pissed, but still reasonable and I thought that they'd come to their senses of not wanting to get shot.
One of the guys gave up: "OK OK, don't shoot me, please!"
The other two guys turned to the door that my barrel was kind of sticking into, and yelled "No! YOU surrender!" and began unloading into the door. So me being off to the side, quickly went around the building and put 1 in each of them and left.
Game over right? No, they turned to me while I was walking away and pumped about 10 shots a piece into my back from about 5 feet away. I just kept walking. Terry saw this all happening and unloaded on them, because they wouldn't stop shooting.
Outside in the lobby they flipped out, and started yelling at the ref, and started yelling that we (the field and everyone playing there) had a vendetta against them. The Terry told them why he did what he did: "You were cheating, taking off your masks on the field, blind-firing, over-shooting and you were shooting people in the back that were leaving the field." Plain and simple, but somehow they just didn't get that. They argued to the point where it looked like one of them was going to pull out a weapon and try to kill somebody (seriously). How stupid I thought.
Anyways here's some of the shots that I took, most of them were in the same spot.
I also got 2 extra nipples now (1 above the left, and 1 below the right), as well, and a couple down the back of my legs. Luckily they didn't aim at the "boys".
