    Tag malfunction yesterday ?
    Was loading it and as I pushed the shell into the launcher, it went off. The launcher deposited the full load of gas in my face, the tag round landed at my feet. I was stunned. Then the fucker went off. I was considerably more stunned.
    Grenade launcher was fucked, as was my hearing ? Not good.
    On the plus side, I got the highest number of kills that day. 6 in one go!
    Just a shame they were all on my team....

    I haven't pewed in three weeks.
    And I can play today - (only for a half day, but better than nowt).
    But...
    I can't be arsed.
    Normally all my kit is already packed, but cos I used the bag for a trip away, it's all over the place.
    Anyone else feel like getting kit ready is a ballache?
    On the plus side, I found some mk5's I forgot I had. Which is nice.

    I can relate...

    However, I usually can't be arsed til the last minute then end up packing til about 1:30am the night before and then have to be up at 6:30/7am to get to the site and spend the first 2 games just waking up!

    Wearing a go pro means you win every 50/50. 100% guaranteed you'll never have to go 50/50 again. And you sure as shit won't just straight up lose.

    i think he means if you're wearing a gopro then you don't have to call your hits as long as you hit them, no more trades.

    S
    sonofsammo
    I mean:
    Wearing a gopro turns you into an utter cheating bastard who'll never accept a 50/50 and ALWAYS thinks they shot you first and plays like it.
    The idea of actually being shot is alien to them.
    And if they do get hit, they can just sort it out in the edit.

    Can anyone recommend a Yorkshire woodland site that's running tomorrow?
    All my normal places are either shut or full.
    The only place I can find somewhere near is Camp Sparta at the mo...

    How was Sparta? Tempted to try it myself. Is it a rolling game ala proving grounds?

    It was good, although not at its best.
    There were 65 players, so we were playing in restricted areas, so there would be more firefights. One thing they changed from the last time I played there was that they made the regen points closer to the action, so you spent more time playing and less time just walking - bonus!
    The games worked well, although I was only able to stick around for the morning games.
    Every time I've been there I've had fun, even when things haven't gone completely smoothly, so I'll definitely be back ? 
    Have you been to HQ in Driffield? If you have, it's like a clean version lol.

    Black Friday - Humbug!
    Nothing I want anywhere.
    Hope everyone else has better luck than I've had ?

    Picked up a dynatec for £20somthing off thanks to a forum members heads up BUT thing I’m most chuffed with is picked up a Ka-bar 1217 , (always wanted one just too expensive) it’s the original model that started the whole combat knife thing back in 1942 and I got it for near £40 off !

    Very happy Druid !?

    Duty question from USA:
    Vector drum mag allegedly attempted delivery this morning. But wasn't. No card left and tracking says awaiting redelivery instructions.
    Does this mean it's sat there waiting for duty etc to be paid? 
    Can't get through on the phone cos the buggers have it set to answerphone ?

    Apparently, yes, it does. £20.37. Could have been worse!

    Hurrah! New mask and lens are here. Looks like the old one was properly buggered. Glad I got a new one - I may be able to see what I'm doing now!

    A wonderful day of jumping every time there's a noise outside.
    What's that? 
    Could it possibly be?
    Yes, that's right.
    It's delivery day!!!!!!

    S

    In the Mack's thread - Is it possible that when someone has an ad posted in there that they are automatically notified?
    Cos that might help matters......

    As a semi-serious answer I believe - if this is still the case, @Jedi_Master can confirm - that the Dreamers thread exists in a very grey area between poking fun at idiots and just being picky over prices. It's been the case before that people have made questionable entries on that thread about guns they don't understand or because a discount wasn't quite at the level they wanted so I'd be very reluctant to do anything that would let people know when they've been shown up in that thread if only for the 1 in 10 times that people get it wrong.

    The reason the thread works in the first place is that the sort of person who puts up an advert that's mispriced is also the sort who likely doesn't browse the rest of the forums too much. Preventing people from posting about listings on here is something I rolled back at the start of the year and thankfully haven't had to reconsider since. Hopefully it stays that way, but it is a bit of a knife edge :)

    Fully agree with that sentiment.

    Some people are trying to make fast money, Others genuinely have no idea and are pricing things up based on what they think. So the grey area is pretty large.

    The airsoft dreamers thread has the potential to be volatile, and if one of the sellers took a dislike to it and started to post there I have no doubts that the whole thread would be shut down. It's  in the same way the Appraisals thread has the potential to be volatile. All it takes is for the seller to think they have something of more value than they have, and then accuse the thread of devaluing a sale based on what has been posted. It's a hard cop for the people who are generally trying to help, and it only self regulates if there is an active base of users looking over everyone's posts.

    All members are free to post adverts as well as ask questions within adverts; not all sellers are equal either in the quality of advert or attention to their advert, but it is their choice.

    Macks dreamers is useful even though it resides in the grey area. It does often make me laugh reading some ridiculous adverts, and saddened when a member posts something they know nothing about thinking it overpriced. Providing the topic does not dissolve into rants and off-topic following posts, then there is no need to moderate, and it gives us all something to read and think about.

    Just ordered a warrior plate carrier.
    And what do you know? All colours are available in two sizes.... normal and fat bastard.
    I need FB - and guess what?
    You can't get FB in black ? 
    There's just one size - why I didn't clock this before I coughed up, I don't know....
