Great games today lads, well done. I never realised you could have so much fun with a shotgun, like I did today.

Keep up the good work lads.

I have a question regarding etiquette during a mission. I flanked up towards the enemy tower, and found Colin hidden in the bush, I wasn't sure at the time who it was, blue or green although I had a strong suspicion he was enemy blue. So as a green I said to him blue on blue to which he reply yes blue, so I shot him and got the kill. Was I right to call out blue on blue or is it frowned upon, I am still learning so I hope I wasn't out of order.

Thanks

Drog Airsoft

(Blue on blue) is a phrase I only use in relation to a player shooting a player from the same team.
In your case I would have asked "Green or Blue?" which may have been what Colin thought you said?. However Colin chose to answer you, which made your job of identification easier. Still a kill in my book.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Thinking about your explanation what would happen if you had a feeling the guy asking you whether you were "green or blue" was an enemy so you lied about your colour and then shot him, would that be legal or a no no.

One more quiery. During play yesterday I was working my way forward through the tyre walls and upon reaching one a enemy called that he had hit me, I replied that I did not feel the hit (I will always take a hit when I feel it) he said it hit my vest, I saw him across the way and saw he was using a pistol so I immediately took the hit presuming I just did not feel the hit from the pistol. I would like to think I done the honourable thing trusting his judgement, but what is the stance when you genuinely do not feel the hit, considering the times you know you have hit others during play and you know that they felt it and they do not take the hits, please take your hits, the game only gets better for all when honesty is there.

Sorry about the questions, but the more I know now the less I P*@s people off during play.

Is there any photos around from yesterday at Drogheda. I know the lads from AIM were taking photos of the Viper Squad, I presume they were taking shots for a Viper feature, but were they taking any shots of the other games and players during the day. I was too into the games to notice if they were around during missions.

God I love airsoft!

A no no for defo! Thats right up there with holding up your hand and pretending you are dead and walking behind the enemy and saying "ha ha i was only joking!!" before you blow them away.

Honesty first. (all you can do is be Honest) Trust second (If anyone insists that they have hit me, i will take it and trust that they are being honest) As annoying as people with invisable bb shealds can be, I just try to be the best airsofter that i can be and i leave them to it.

Normaly i would be clicking away myself, but being a Viper Squad member myself i never got a chance because i was playing all day. It i a shame realy because it was a cracking day of quality airsoft. I'll bring the camera next week.

Was down in your site yesterday. Have to say the terain is excellent lots of cover and the gorse is great for sneakin around, managed to take three guys out with 3 shots before they new what was happening. Will defenately be back again. Also people seemed be really good at takin there hits i no problems in that regard which is good to see.

I have one or two critisms. Fristly the ridiclious amount of time we had waiting around (in the cold). Maybe the fact that the viper squad were been photographed for take aim had a big factor in this i don't know. But every game took ages to start and all the reload breaks were too long. Another thing was the lack of information given to us before a game by marshalls. I had never played there before so i had no clue of rules of the games and the only way i could get to know them was by asking the other players who had played here before. For example i had no idea you could not shoot through gaps in the tire walls or get shoot through these gaps. On the last game i was completely confused about where i had to respawn and how many i had.

All in all though i think this is a really good site, i really like the terrain and i will definately be back again hopefully with a few more people.

That’s great stuff man. Thanks for all the complements my friend I’m glad you enjoyed the site and Yes, your right, all the delays were due to the photo shoot with the Vipers with a little bit of miscommunication thrown in. Lunch was supposed to be called but wasn’t when the vipers went of for the photos, so it turned into a silly waiting around time. Usually i do all the games briefing and rules but being the Viper Squad team captain i was posing in front of the camera with the rest of the lads. We do normally run a tighter ship and i would like to thank the lads for helping out. However next time you’re here things will go a lot smother. Thanks again for your comments and i look forward to seeing you again.

Marko,

Thanks for the advice, you are a true ambassador for the sport. You took one of my hits and indeed registered it, even though it was from a bit of a distance, hopefully all airsofters will take your honesty onto the field. I look forward to many more great days like Sunday.

Toherinator,

I agree with your point about the waiting, it was friggin cold waiting around that long and hopefully it was only because of the lads doing their photo shoot.

When you mention the three kills, was it beside the green tower on the second tower to tower game and to the left, I ask because one of my highlights was when someone took three guys out beside me and then they took him out, I was one tyre wall away from the third guy who was asking the marshall who happened to be beside him whether his hit counted because he claimed he had hit "you" before you opened up on him. So he was pleading his case with the marshall while crouched behind cover while the game was still on, so I bolted up and shot him with my shotgun, he took it fantastically with a laugh and said to the marshall "ah feck it, I am hit now anyway". It was classic.

Can't wait for the next day.

Hi
I was at Drogheda Airsoft last Sunday, The Third Tower will be great once finished. It will be hard to gain acces to the gravel area as no it is covered off by Two Towers. It will be interesting to see changes in tactics.

Last Sunday I was with the ARU Team and we had a lot of Fun. The new Multi Flag game was Great .

Thanks John and Marko for yet another great day out.

John thanks for the help with charging the batteries.

Drog Airsoft
