Has Km Cheated the Chrono at Anzio?

[Shamal]

They don’t prove you’ve passed chrono at Anzio because quote”I don’t care what your gun chronos, I’ll check it in game and if you’re caught over your gone.”

Plus all these stupid badges the forum  is awarding are not making me feel special, they are just pissing me off

I love my badges? lol. Takes me back to when I was a boy scout.( not) lol.

Don’t worry.  He’ll be paying dearly for the use of inappropriate footwear in a few years time.

Last weekend I was at a show for the first time in 15 months.

When standing my right foot was in pain, if I shifted my body weight my left knee threatened to pop out and collapse, if I sat down my bad back and twisted spine ached…..

Who wants to tell him that his ‘ninja’ wear is based on blacked out stage hands?

Been there done it and got the t shirt. It does get better though.? 

Strange but as I'm getting older I'm getting less aches and pains. Can't explain it but just go with it ?

I was wanting to go here, wont bother now

Cool so we won't go there together. Lol ?

Fair point, but without one trustworthy reading to compare against, there's no particular reason to believe that any particular chrono is over, under, or reflecting reality, whether it's a freshly purchased Skan or a 5 year old site Whang Dong.

Heck, last time I was on site, we ended up using my own Whang Dong in addition to the site's Xcortech without even comparing them against each other.  The site owner wasn't remotely fussed when I suggested doing that, he just wanted to get the folk who'd showed up to chrono done as fast as possible.  At the end of the day, it's up to site owners to care about and enforce this, or not, and all we can do is to go elsewhere if we don't like the way they're running things.

When I did a lot of site work if you had a level be it Stanley,stabila,magnusson or ox,unless it was calibrated to an industry standard it had to have a sticker saying 'for indication only' the same applied to steel tape measures. A load of bollocks cause you knew if your courses were running true.

The calibration process was with a water level.

First and only have always worded it as it's a limit of 328 (which is what you should aim for) with up to 350 for variance.  

that mean i can bomb down the motorway at 100mph and if the cops pull me over just say "i was aiming for 70"?

the limit is the limit, any variance is between [actual empirical velocity of bb according to physics] and [what chrono says bb velocity is] which we generally take to be an acceptable error for a working chrono (although as is the topic here how does one be sure if it isn't properly calibrated)

It doesn't really matter which one I trust. The site is going to go by theirs.  This is why I'm always first at the chrono in the morning in case I have to do some emergency fettling.

this is indeed true, and part of why being a few fps under the limit isn't the worst idea given how if said battered and tatty chrono is out by 1fps site will the see the reading and say "begone foul cheater most depraved and despicable of creatures, may you be forever banished from this place and a curse laid upon your house unto the 7th generation" meanwhile next in line, jerry joule creep sails on through.....

they might not understand it but come hell or high water they're gonna enforce the shit out of the bit they do understand.......

god that sounded bitter

It sounded experienced.  Marshals should know more than any player on site.  Far too often, they know less than that guy on Facebook asking "What am bests startar gnu lol?"

Yep, as you described it so well: "safety theatre"

Ofc i dont know what the answer is, every approach and method has its flaws, not sure its possible without either having more staff than players or finding a cure for human dishonesty.

 

[Rogerborg]

Training.  Take the time to ensure that all your marshals, even your mates or the ones doing it for freebies, have a clear understanding of what they're supposed to be doing, and why, both on technical issues like chronoing, and on resolving issues in game.

It wouldn't take long, and even less so if you write it down.

This starts with site owners, and sadly far too many of them seem to have a muddle through attitude, or that everybody knows what they're doing - or more specifically, that everybody has the same assumptions and beliefs that they picked up fifteen years ago, which isn't necessarily the same thing.

Given the thankless job of trying to run a site, I'm certainly not judging, but it is so nice when you come across one that documents everything, rather than running it via Facebook or word of mouth on a "Just ask m8 lol" basis.

Behind a guy at chrono today, rifle coming in at just under 400 on .2’s…the marshal then proceeded to let him re chrono (twice), using heavy and heavy weight bb’s till he was just under 350. 

Not all who wear a hi vis on site are as clever as they make out.

Was this at Anzio, or another site ?

What site..so I know to avoid it.

F&O beware, you've got new competition!!

We really need to name this site to place on the naughty list.

 

[Wavey_Gravey]

No issues naming and shaming as I shall not be going back, this was one of many reasons.

F&O “The Jungle”.

Crap facilities, belittling and the the staff seem to think they’re doing you a favour by running game days, as they’re into “Milsim only”.

Avoid it.

 

[Rogerborg]

Too cryptic, chap.

If you're not going back (prediction: you will), then just name the site (prediction: you won't).

 

[Shamal]

The gauntlet is down! 

Over to you wavy?gravy ?

Literally named the site in my last post.

Not gonna lie i was wondering if it was me or borg having the "woosh" moment until i saw the second page

But yeah, thats sadly not an unheard of level of ignorance. I mean by that logic nobody should ever die in a car accident because cars only go like 100fps on the road......

 

[Cannonfodder]

This is depressing reading. F&O used to have a rep for well run sites but it appears they're determined to become on the worst with some of this stupidity

 

[rj1986]

Just to stir it - was KM banned from F&O sites?
