A large element of any "Game" is diversion from reality, its all entertainment of one form or another. Entertainment be it sports, a book, movies, music or drugs is a vehicle for us to enjoy extraordinary experiences and refresh our energy to face the daily grind.
One of the strong appeals of Woodsball / Scenario play and even weekend recball is that for those precious few hours I become a living dream.
I am a hunter of human prey, I am a master of the art of Paint-fu.
The enjoyment of being more than yourself without the reminders of reality I call
"The suspension of Dis-beleif"
In other words if you remove the real life factors that prevent you from enjoying your dream for a short time you can feel that you really are living your dream.

If it is some paintballer's dream to play the role of sniper and certain eqipment and play style helps him live his dream then I say...
"Rock on man.. Live the Dream"
To reword Descartes..
"I think I am a sniper, therefore I am"

Great Post and very true

My dream is to catch Mason, Dan, and Wadda in the open and mow them down with my Double T

Would that make me a sniper, well placed shots consistanly.

I played at paintball planet on Friday night, and I had a game where I think i shot 7 or 8 shots. My first 3 took 3 people out and the last 4 or 5 took a couple more.

Gotta love the pumps.
