New players in Reading

[Nasro]

 I bought eye-pro after my first ever game because of how rank the hire mask was. 

Loooooooool

Honestly is for the mall..

get too hot too quick there

Some people are geared up for WW4 lol 

What the ones who need to carry a backpack for a 45 minute game. Then get all irate when the quicker more mobile players roll over them. 

As much as I like airsoft and have met some 1st class people I do sometimes look round a safezone and just have to shake my head. 

You will have to come join me on a Sunday and experience the mall at full tilt.

The ones that NEED to carry back pack with full ration because the probably be camping so might as well start eating and drinking during intense games... plus radios and gps radar equipment because they need to be in communication with there noob soldier friends who also carry the same equipments too lol

Haha can just imagine my wife agreeing to that. She hates anything to do with airsoft and thinks its on a level of sadness equal to those grown men who play with Barbies or dress up as babies.

First bit... she doesn't know the fun she is missing out on... actually take that back, DO NOT GET THE MRS INVOLVED WITH AIRSOFT (tip given to me by staff at defcon airsoft)... Once she gets involved she knows how much everything costs lol. 

and second bit... Why? I'm antisocial beyond belief and I will quite happily sit in silence and hide from any person who even looks at me, so we can just hide at opposite ends of the map and not speak to anyone lol.

LOL can relate

"you spend more time playing with your guns than you spend time chilling with me" she says...

"are you on that forum again?"

"a parcel arrived, did you buy a gun again?"

I can literally go carry on lol so i bought her a gun (CA M4 pistol) but until she finds the right "army style" outfit (because she has to look good for pictures) she won't come to an event LOL  :wacko: :blink:

Mate if my missus took up airsoft I would quit. Airsoft is the only way I can escape.

As for meet ups there has already been 3 and just remembering the headache gives me a new one.

oh my god that was funny to read... joys of being single I guess lol.
 

And ah, I see, I thought it was more about being shy, guess it's more about how people are a pain to organise lol.

Well... you're the one touting Sundays as the best days to see the Full Metal Jackasses so....

I'm totally up for a Sunday sometime in March, let's keep it casual so Triggers skin doesn't up and crawl away and die!

the last private game that they did at the mall not to long ago was great! wasn't big numbers but enough to have fun and when the turned the lights out and filled the floor up with smoke it made it even better!


Another private game would be good! i know it's not the easiest to organise tho

Unfortunately there isn't the same level of community on here as there used to be so I think a private game would be difficult.

I came back on to connect with a few people and have hung around trying to liven it up but to be honest its a poor shadow of its former self and I doubt I will stay around as the lively discussion side has died. Its why I dropped before as the ability to discuss differences of opinion on here went from debate to defensive hissy fits. Only @Lozart seems to still offer a cohesive differing viewpoint with ability to inject banter and not have the you're "a mean man" tantrum when someone disagrees with him. One good exchange in two weeks I weep for this place.

Not that there are not still some good people but the overall sense of community is just gone.

As for The Mall...*shrugs* eh.

I used to go a lot. Once Tabby and Lovegroove et al stopped marshalling I got a bit fed up with the attitude of some of the "I'm a marshal so I'm going to lord it over you all" types that came (and went) as replacements. The current lot seem fairly reasonable though so I may come back a bit more. To be honest I just got bored of 1) people cheating 2) people whingeing about cheaters and 3) getting stuck behind a gagglefuck of people that don't want to be first through a doorway. I like Thursday nights specifically BECAUSE there were less people and more importantly less noobs. Now I know that last bit will make some people think I'm an elitist wanker but eventually you just want to go play with a game full of people that all actually want to play the game to the same level.

I get you but Lovegrove had started appearing again and he was always one of my faves. The marshalls now are really good lads and not blowing smoke up anyones arse as that is not me but I honestly have all the time in the world for everyone one of them.

I love the newbs as I find their enthusiasm infectious and I do every thing I can to help them along but hey we all get different things from it. 

Not elitist just like a certain game which is all good. Elitist is what has set my digits twitching again. Too many people moaning about people treating airsoft like it is more than a game for relaxation and fun. 

Lozart say when you are down and I will gladly come catch up bud.

Will do mate, might well be soon as I haven't played much at all lately and I have new toys....

The last time I was at The Mall it was a good laugh to be fair. Mostly because I managed to hook up with a decent bunch that just wanted to play the game. Luke is always a giggle and the current marshals do seem to be better than they were for a while so maybe I'll have at it again!

Luke is one of those people that can make even a miserable f*cker like me smile. Never get why some people complain about his banter and jokes during a brief. Don't tell him I ever said that though. 

Still get good and bad days there but until the players realize that 99% of the time that the quality of the game is dictated by them then that will still be the case everywhere. I always enjoy myself but then the trivial things just make me chuckle.

I’ve never had any issues regarding Luke’s  attitude or any other staff members’ and their decision.

they all have banter and that is all you can ask for in an airsoft event.

The whole purpose is to come and experience what participating in a war or armed police event could be like, but without actually dying... and appreciating you’re life as in the real event that was you bye bye.

Nothing too serious or intimidating no one is a real gun man who practices in airsoft. It’s UK not USA or Russia etc... if you get hit, laugh and call your hit then walk back to respawn with your hands up so you don’t get shot at again.

if you’re gonna be upset then don’t come airsofting, it’s not for you. your actions could have an impact on others and may cause both parties to be banned in an unfairly decision.

im sure luke ain’t risking the business for any of us here.
