A friendly hello

[bornleverpuller]

bloody hell, there's a refreshing change!

reference the other kind of plastic crack... I recently made £460 selling off a load of old black templar figures on eBay, worth a look if you're interested in clearing space and raising funds. I find also that if I'm selling things to buy other things, the fuhrer doesn't get so upset about it!

I keep thinking about selling some stuff but then I look at all the hours spent painting and can't bring myself to do it. Will bide my time for 7th edition in 2 years time and keep playing bloodbowl until then

Third game done. Got my paper work so now sorting registration. Some of the kids yesterday made me laugh bright orange AK' s, 3 or 4 pistols shoved down their trousers and trainers on so they spend most of the day on their arse.

Another cracking day. Couple of rental gun issues but site staff at Mansfield sorted it out very quickly, saw quite a few patches from the forums so if you were there hope you had a good day too.

Seems ages since I've been airsofting, can't wait for sunday, only a month away from completing my games to send off for UKARA although my wife says I have to wait for Santa to get my own gun.

 

[jcheeseright]

do what I do... have it delivered to work and don't tell her.

Most disappointing day airsofting yesterday lot of grumbling between the two teams especially over one lad with a riot shield who did make life difficult for th green team

I'm not a fan a shields in airsoft. I mean, if it was actually steel so it would be bulletproof, yeah, go on then, the weight will make it such a pain in the arse that people wouldn't be able to overuse it, but a riot shield my arse and when someone rocks up with some painted plywood, I want to hurt them...

I thought there needed to be some compromise, if it was the sites own shield so available for both sides it would have been fair or if the lad could have only used it for one regeneration and then after it was scooped up by a marshal. All that happened was that a lot of player expended a lot of ammo and grenades trying to put one player who barely fired their gun in anger all day.

It was very disappointing when 7 or 8 members of my team refused to play any more because life wasn't fairm

Well, when you do get a shot on him make sure you make a point... I approve of many hi-caps in this case

So 5 months after playing my first game I'll be picking up my first rid on Sunday

 

[bornleverpuller]

Gutted, was meant to be using my aeg for the first time tomorrow but I have a stomach bug.

^^Pisser.

I just wrote something about how I feel when I can't skirmish due to ill health, but on second thoughts nobody needs to read my morbid preoccupations...

 

[remus]

rage. i became friends with one of my fellow airsofters, when im unable to make it to airsoft due to health work tirdness etc an dhe makes it he says its awsome, when i make it and hes unable to i hear the same things. yet when we both make it it seems noone takes hits, noobs etc. bet you the day you didnt make it it was an awesome day.

as for the riot shield, i think we should make a separate thread to discus it....

 

[Cheeky vimto]

No to riot shields, Don't do it.

 

[bornleverpuller]

Finally going to get out with my AEG tomorrow. Only a month after santa came

 

[Ian_Gere]

^^Me too
