Bottledtorment

Wow, I made it to forum chat From my point of view I am very aware that a seller with no posts and limited time on the forum is a bad start but I want to sell my stuff so thought this is the place. I did contact admin before hand and asked permission which helped. I also lucked out and the first gun I sold was to a forum moderator who kindly left me feedback which really helped. Iv also donated 10% of what I got for all of it to the forum as a thank you. Unfortunately I wouldn't buy from someone like me (post counts etc) on other forums cause iv been stung too. No simple solution unfortunately.
Thanks for the mention of me in a positive light

Element LLM01 off AirsoftEd

Is that the L129A1?

Actually, I find that airsoft society is a very nice forum. They're people are much nicer to work with than say.... ASM... Z1... loads of other forums.
 
Most of the time the members will not bother too much with multiple threads asking the same question, and if they have a solution they will link it to the already existing thread instead of saying nonsense like asking them use search for common terms. Plus they have an app so I can annoy their members much more frequently lol.
 
 
Why is ASF-UK not on tapatalk or mobile devices? I don't mind too much but getting notified on your phone whenever someone replies/messages is a HUGE bonus. I didn't really think I'd find it useful, but man was I wrong.
 
 
 
There should be more moderators like Ed. He seems like he actually wants to help run a friendly forum the way they were meant to be

Basic mock up

Never used any other forum than this one

I don't even know where to begin describing this...

Wait a minute ... You run a Military ranking system yet none of you are in the forces?

lololololololol im going to try and be as polite and pleasant in my reply but to be honest this thread is destined for trolling.
 
I think what you guys are trying to achieve it actually a good idea. A place where the really serious team player can be with like minded players, train hard, play hard and enjoy general camaraderie. This is great plus to the game. Some of the worlds greatest clubs were started from small roots and have grown massive. Yes most of us just wanna charge a battery in between games so we can turn up and pepper people in between giggling and tripping over but for the more serious in depth player this is perfect. I'm guessing you don't actually want loads and loads of people and you don't want to make loads and loads of money off this thing. You want a close knit hard playing team that can go anywhere in the UK and dominate, and for that I literally salute you.
 
Where you have fallen short slightly, is you need to work on your PR/Marketing a bit better because at the moment with all due respect, you couldn't sell toby carvery to a starving Ethiopian. Yes I know and you know that being elite on the field and being elite everywhere else doesn't actually matter BUT...unfortunately it does. Not using spellcheck or double checking text is just so unprofessional it makes me squeel and squirm in my chair. People will judge your whole organisation on how you come across online and in person regardless of how pro/elite you actually are with an AEG in your hand. If you have a few pennies to spare, I would look at getting a epic website up and running (no offence but the current one is just too budget/basic and has feels too home made). Instantly you will get a better more positive response from people and more importantly you will attract the right people.
 
I have some experience in 'pushing' things into the public and my best advise to you for now would be to fall back, have a good think about things, chuck in a few pennies and then re-launch everything much much better.
 
Overall although airsoft at this intensity is not for me, I commend you efforts and idea and wish you all the luck in the world. I would love to see this concept work in the near future and watch you guys grow

^ Seems... His elite training means he can go unseen to our uniniated eyes.

Got the G36 handguard stripped back from the NATO green to the original black.
Bought myself a gripod and she's coming together into my KSK G36. (Hooray for the joys of Tier one groups)

I wasn't going to get involved, I didn't want to get involved, but I'm doing it, I just can't stay away.
 
I'm calling shenanigans.
 
You're resting a lot on this 'Colonel Bateson' who was in the Infantry, British Special Forces and the SAS-Reserves. I'm sure he has signed the official secrets act, but you're making a big deal of nothing. I know a gentleman who was in a VERY special regiment, so special he won't even go into which force he was in. He's an open book about all his training, mostly because he knows most of it is f**king useless on the airsoft field, unless EVERYONE is playing the same game. Instead he's spent four or five years learning how to play airsoft, much as I have and that's why he's good.
 
Next up, he's an open book, and that's how you can tell he's legit, he'll discuss anything on his terms, you don't even hear about the official secrets act because you don't get the chance to bring anything up that might be an issue, because frankly, the training isn't secret 'cause pretty much everyone knows about it, it's the horrible dirty tactics that are used to turn the odds that you don't need to know about, and those aren't always about being 'uber-1337', sometimes, from what I gather, they're about being an evil c**t so bad it keeps you up at night for the rest of your life if you aren't careful.
 
So long story short, I'm not so sure about 'Colonel Bateson'.
 
Next, 99.9& need not apply, because it's a state of mind (you might already have it), so you're the Royal Marines now? Come up with something original, not that it matters 'cause anyone can pass, right?
 
Rankings, military ranks is fine for some, some people are into that, for me, I know a man who was a sergeant, he shot children once, largely because it was do-or-die, now, he has no family, his wife left him and took his kids because he became convinced the devil was speaking to him and threatening to take them from him so he went a bit coo-coo, he even pissed himself in the supermarket once because he started seeing stuff. He probably wouldn't approve of you giving yourselves ranks for playing soldier, I would say, even if you lot are okay with it, have a little consideration for the fact that A LOT of airsofters are from the forces, either now or in the past. Also, 'Officer entry' - really?
 
Next up, uniform and specific weapons? Again, I call bull. If you know anything about airsoft, you know it's a hobby in which pretty much any AEG can be tuned to be as good as any other AEG, same with GBBR etc. If you were sensible you'd know that the best setup for each airsofter is what works for them. Let your team decide what they need to give you 100%, because if you gave me X, Y and Z, but I wanted A, B, C, I know I'd get annoyed at being uncomfortable and end up not giving it my all.
 
Your website is hardly elite, spellcheck is your friend. There are no photos of you playing/working together as a team, this doesn't make you seem legitimate.
 
You're also not, by definition, an organization, at best you're a team/network. Calling it 'the organization' doesn't make it any more 'elite'.
 
I'm going to stop before I start to sound cruel.

As a Colonel?
Sorry, it's way too elite ninja specops for me.

Basic mock up

Not a problem as long they follow the rules, listen to people that have more experience and don't be a dick. Same as everyone really.

That was at the end of their tour in Sierra Leone.

Woo I called the PC correctly !

Woo I called the PC correctly !

How do I go about joining this Reg. and what is their usual loadout? (Mess tin order?)

Basic mock up

Here's a secret snap of a unit from 314 MMRU(BLD)
 
 

Now I have visions of them stagging on at Buck Palace or a Guard of Honour at someone's wedding!!! Lol
Imagine their Mess Dress??!! Lol
Well at least they'd beat the Royal Marines at their naked bar competitions?! Lol
 
It's also worth bearing in mind that all ceremonial dress and accoutrements worn by the British military have, at some point in history been worn in battle
With the obvious exception of the RAF Regiment, because battling in the Naafi doesnt count!!
