Remember, witches float!

Wait so WHO do I have to email my contact info to?

I think you are referencing my post...

When a parent signs the waiver there will be contact info in case of an emergency... I may, depending on how severe a crime/offense committed, tell the parents of any wrongdoing especially if police are involved.

@Tedder, ah I thought you were saying ALL minors had to give their parents contact info.

AH HA HA HA HA! I love this.

Yeah. That's him. He's an idiot and I really expected a little bit better of him. It was the idiots that were with him that I blame mostly. There is maybe one of them that I think is a good kid. Opheria, the good one is the kid that was video taping at OCP that one time we were out there. His name is Matt. The one who shot the M203, Brian, is a little stoner who got some expensive gear thanks to his parents. Brian calls his hits and that's why I put up with him. When they shot the M203 at us, I just chalked it up to them being stupid. I don't particularly defend them and wouldn't mind them not attending any more games.

However, when you hook him up with the rest of the idiots out there, it probably isn't the best cocktail. When I say the other idiots, they're a couple of kids who Matt rounded up to have people to play with. They've picked up a few AEG's at Sports Authority and think they're Rambo.

We never told them about Firezone or the forum. Matt needed people to play with and got these guys so he could form a team. They sometimes play at OCP, but I think they're looking to start basing themselves out of PB World. That's how they found out about yesterday. They didn't realize it was a night game and they didn't realize they needed kill lights. That's why you saw them scrambling around at the last minute looking for lights and pushing everyone to start a game. They were having to head out early.

I can tell you by name which one of those kids I vouch for and which I don't. None of the "good ones" were involved in this situation. I don't plan on telling them much more about Firezone either. I don't think they're on here so there is nothing to ban. I never planned on bringing them to Shar's either.

If they manage to find the field or come out to another event, I'll give you guys a heads up and we'll go from there. Also, I can pass on any decisions to them.

Good looking out man.

Ive seen way too many of those types who get bought a nice gun and think theyre the sh*t. They expect their parents to back them up at all times too, and usually they will even if the kid was wrong. This is what i do not want at our games.

And again since Fireman deals with that on a daily basis i'll let him handle it! Seriously though if he shows to our field, ill have a quick little talk with him...

Should we warn him to get his affairs in order first??

You guys are freakin me out all this talk of witch burning a 203 guy....technically, mine is a madbull CNC running C02, so you would know for sure if mine went off.

Ah, what am I saying.....BURN HIM!!!!!

Wait!!!

I did see another person there with a M203. I don't remember who it was and couldn't give you a description of the guy but he was on NVA. He had what looked like a CA socom M203 mounted in a Echo 1 stand alone launcher. It was on a black sling on his back.

That would of most likely been me.
but i didnt shoot anyone with it. i shot it once during the speed-ball game in the beginning.... didn't even get anyone...

Wolverine I really dont think you have anything to worry about LMAO. Your safe as long as you let me go for a ride in that Jeep LOL just kidding.

Most people vomit when I do that, especially if they do not keep their head facing forward when I roll into it........

Oh yeah, that bad lil hombre Lero had with him is called Mad Max. Most grenades chrono at 130-180, this bad boy rocks back when you fire it at 340fps.

They're not going to show up to Firezone. They'd have to figure out the forum, figure out how to get there, figure out who is going to drive them out there, probably have it fall on a school night, and navigate a sand pit of death. We can't keep them from playing at PB World, but someone can have a serious conversation with them if they are there next time.

Or just play at night. Past 9 and they have to go home.

By popular demand I'll not show up to any games what-so-ever due to having a red truck. To alleviate this and for me to be able to show up at games I will now need a ride...thank you for your time.

Learn from every experience... And dont be so quik to lay down a ban hammer from games... If this were the case at every field Opheria would not be allowed to Waynes World anymore... If you have to play another game there and the youngins are allowed to play, just make certain you give a SERIOUS briefing and let them know that BS like that will not be tolerated.

The atmosphere at your games (The ones I have been to) have not been the most serious I have seen, and that is mostly based on the way most of us get along with one another.. An outsider to the group could take that as a sign of "We dont need no stinking Rules", and can contribute to how people act.

As for the original reason for this thread, I think having a broader age limit is a good thing. I enjoy those games more than the bigger Big boys games.. It usually means tons more trigger time, and def more targets. But it also means more mentoring from those of us with more life/airsoft experience. Just keep in mind that you are playing with minors and that your actions can and will have an impact.

What I hate seeing is older guys out there yelling "Call your fucking Hits" to a 13 year old kid. As a parent I would not appreciate seeing someone talking to my child that way, especially when it is only a game..

FireZone will have to set a standard of conduct that will reflect well on them. And also reflect well on the Airsoft Community...

These specific people we are talking about know better then to shoot at someone who isn't wearing safety glasses and especially to do it in a parking lot. It's actually interesting. The people who are suspected of not calling their hits are the ones who yell at others to call their hits. I don't think they'll make the drive out to Firezone anytime soon anyway.

This is why the TCA games are still among the best run games I've been to in Florida with regards to rules and respect.

They have such strict briefings and rules because they know what is at stake with the younger players. They understand how impressionable they are and how they will follow the feeling of what the older players do. Because of this, the older players are held to a higher standard at these games then the younger players.

At the last game they even went so far as to go around and thank the people we had playing there who had served. I've seen them play the star spangled banner and have a moment of silence.

The games really are set with a tone of ultimate respect and that tone carries through to the end. Anyone who fails to uphold said respect is promptly removed and not allowed to come back ever again.

I agree with everything you have said Fireman..

@inmediasres, I stand behind everything I have said.... You just reiterate my point.

a better briefing and control is being formulated, soon we will enforce the rule where you get there at ~10AM, Briefing at 1030AM, and the game starts at ~11AM (For example)

If you dont make it on time you have to wait for the second segment. You will be geared up by the time the briefing starts!

My aim is to make it more structured. During the briefing I would stop talking if there was chatter in the peanut gallery, to get there attention focused on the rules so no one could say they didnt know them.

Stuff like that...

Dude, you guys are on the ball... I posted what I did, and then checked the staff area and there it was.... STRUCTURE....

Carry on fellas, you are doing a great job with the site and the games...

Or get them to simply be quiet while you brief Ted....

I realize this isn't the right place for it, but...

EVIKE JUST BACK ORDERED ME AGAIN! California airsoft douches...

You should Sig that... lol...

Hey, from my understanding dedicated players can bring minors out to games correct? Does this include us minors who happen to be regulars? I want to bring my friend who's into it as much as me out tomorrow.


Edit: Stupid question, obviously his parents will need to show for waver signing.

I will be bringing a friend as well....Only he's not really a minor

Teach the kids what you know and one day they will teach others.( like wolverine does it ) I love seening kids with their dad's playing airsoft. Future of the sport counts on them. BadTrooper is doing a good job. Thank you all.
