NAF ‘23

[Skullchewer]

So, rather than leave it to fate, are we actually going to arrange a meet up? And by meet up I mean drinking, not at the end of a barrel.

What about Friday,3pm by the saloon/chrono station?

 

[Skullchewer]

I'm new to naf, won't we still be "playing airsoft " (in the very loosest sense) at that time?

 

[AirSniper]

You're really going to spend money on the absurdly priced stuff there? No offence dude, but you're a bit dim.

So anyway, we can compare purchases!

Things are not priced at stupid prices at NAF, last year BB's £6 a bag when in your local shop they would have been £10.

I bought two WarQ helmets, normal price £199 each, on offer at £35 off full price as I bought two and was cheek enough to ask if they would discount anymore if I bought two, gor another £35 off, so I saved £105.

If you know what you want and you want to take a risk, you can buy others second hand kit, my son wanted a scope and got a scope he wanted for £49 which normally retails for £110.

There are plenty of other traders there with all sorts of kit and you can buy a bargain if you know what you want and are prepared to take a risk.

I’ve been kinda saving for the event to allow me a couple of purchases, fingers crossed there’s something that takes my fancy, I seem to be getting a bit picky in my older years ?

Not really on the Friday. Most of that day is sign in and chrono. There will be some play.pistols shotgun if you want it and the kill house will be open.

If you can't find something then you are either blind or your wife has welded your wallet shut without you knowing ??

 

[Skullchewer]

Oh, cool. Yeah, 3pm at the saloon it is then!

You'll have to make yourselves known to me, but I do stand out a bit.

If its something you want from Zero One shop, you have to be quick because things sell out fast, if you want something like a sight then buy it online and save you the carrier fee by selecting collection from NAF site.

Double check you have your cash with you because I wanted a couple of things and in the 30 minutes it took me to get back to my tent and back to the shop, they had sold out.

Don't forget to go to the raffle as you are entered under your player number and they have sponsored giveaways of a few small things and a some high value prizes like RIF's.

Friday evening is Shotguns and pistols and runs until midnight.

As for the beer tent entertainment, Deezul will crucify your favorite tunes...

I'll be keeping my eye pro on pretty much all weekend.

3000 or so macho men, weekend warriors and  all the other kind of airsofters, with their pew pews? Someone's gonna be a dickhead, guaranteed, and that's before you factor in the alcohol.

You're not wrong there, some butt heads near to me were firing off BB's in the camping area.

I have asked ZO in the past to have all campers to have a tent tag to identify those that are morons that live among us.

Bit of dirty play, several times I had hits to the eyes, the bad actors tended to be Bravo group just like last year and the year before that.

That's a bit of an unfair statement.

Is it because we won ?

No pleasing some people....... 

Literally ?

We play a game that involves getting shot at so complaining about getting shot just makes you look like an idiot. You're an adult so if you choose not to wear full face protection that's your problem.

It makes a change from the usual HPA users are all cheaters bullshit

I am not complaining about being shot at, I am complaining at dirty play. Dirty as in you don't just hit the target but you keep on firing and don't take hits and take shots intentionally to hurt like in the groin and eye shots specifically aimed at the eyepro as well as that other shitty move of shooting hands.

There is a rule of etiquette in the game, even if its not written down, there are something you don't engage in and if you do then you are the problem with the game.

As for HPA, there were not that many HPA at the event.

I'm sure there are plenty of Bravo players bitching about Delta too.

Not really, Bravo were not taking their hits.

Several times I and the others in the group we formed launched an attack on places where Bravo had hidden in bushes and they didn't take their hits despite seeing the BB's bouncing of them and they retreated, this was near the trenches.

Players from their time out respawning were not following the rules, they would sit for a minute and then off out again.

Many players were not indicating if they were hit or in play and as soon as you went to shoot they would put their hands up but then jump into the bishes. 

There is winning with honourable play and there is winning by cheating... Big difference.

You didn't post that though did you, all your post stated was that several times you were shot in the face. As usual you're changing what your complaining about when pulled up on it.

Also the NAF is renowned for shitty play so expecting anything else is naive at best

I think you expect too much from GZ/NAF. 'Good' gameplay eludes that site even on a 'standard' skirmish day, so sticking 3000 players on it will definately not help matters.

Again - I would bet my left nut that Bravo players are saying similar things about Delta. Can you vouch for the 'honourable play' of the other 1.5k players on your team? I don't think so.

Maybe he's got one of those faces you wouldn't tire in shooting ?

I think you're vastly over-estimating the accuracy of airsofters and their guns. I bring my crosshair somewhat over the often moving player and when I pull the trigger, a small plastic sphere weighing only around a quarter of a gram is pushed through a non-rifled barrel. This projectile hopefully makes contact with any part of my opponents body or equipment, sometimes I'm even evil enough to pull the trigger a couple of times on top, just to increase my chances.
