Aah, to tell the truth I've stopped caring about the whole CQB game he promised us a while ago. Stopped wondering about the field he planned to set up too. Not that I have anything against the guy, but if he doesn't want to contact me with events he's been promising I'm not going to keep emailing him about them. Either he doesn't have time for other players/teams or he just doesn't care anymore. What does bother me are the recent Janus= Don Semora theories that have been popping up all over the place. For those of you still new to Airsoft, Don Semora was a guy from Michigan that pulled off some major airsoft scams. Just head on over to www.airsoftzone.com and do a search for his name, you'll see plently of posts about the deals that went sour. The lost money, thousands of dollars in some cases and weapons no one ever recieved. Why does this bother me? Well while I was never ripped off myself (in fact I think I got a nice deal on the MP5 full-stock from him) a couple of weeks ago I was contacted by some guy, keen on getting into airsoft. He tells me how he'd like to buy an SR16 from Janus and wanted to know if he'd rip him off. I of course told him about my MP5 stock deal and told him about his mod status on ASP, basicly told him to go for the deal. Don't know if the deal ever went through or if he ever got the SR16, but if he didn't and WAS ripped off then I'll be very pissed at Janus since he told the guy to contact me about his credibility. I don't want my reputation ruined just so some scammer gets an extra $350.  Aah well. It's all just speculation now anyway. For all we know there could be a Team 7.62 (Didn't Mike meet Goblin? And I believe Pika has been in contact with him too reguarding th Marui Tactical Launcher.) If it is all fake then wow, the guy went into some pretty elaborate work to pull all of this off. |

They DO have pics of the 68 Cal. Newman. www.geocities.com/team762/68paintball.htmlThat will really Piss me off if there a fake! Goblin and I talk quite offten and he seems nice. He has offerd a line up on the team meaning i might be able to join. Then again he soposidly sent me free pair of his old goggles. Never got them and its been like over a month or 2. I hope there is a mistake somewhere with this fake thing. |

Andy, you must realize that those pictures are....fake!
The pictures are probably from some other paintball place, because there is no website and NO information about 68 Caliber Paintball on the internet. That's why I'm saying it! Hehe

There is this website www.68caliberpaintball.com/ but it doesn't look like the same place Team 7.62 plays at. I sent an e-mail to the 68 Caliber Paintball guys to see if they know Team 7.62 at all and if the indoor arena looks the same as the one on the Team 7.62 website. |

Yeah...Dice, please, no offense, do some more research before you tell us something like that.
That place is in Ohio, has no indoor places, and there are no pictures of it, either.
Janus...is...fake! ;D

Sheesh, you guys are harsh! I did the same thing dice did, looked around and found that there is in fact a place called .68 Caliber Paintball. True, it's not in MI, but what's the harm in emailing them to ask if they've heard of team 7.62? Seems like you'd want that to add to your "proof" Newman. I really don't see why you seem to have such a beef with janus anyway, it's not like he screwed you out of any money, as far as I know. Don't get me wrong, I've got no huge amount of love for the guy, but I think we shouldn't be jumping to so many conclusions, especially with little reason to.

Actually I did see that they were in Ohio but Janus has said that they play in several different locations including Ohio. I got a response and he said he hasn't heard of Team 7.62 nor do they have an indoor arena. I know there weren't pics on the site but they could have an indoor arena without any pictures I want to make sure we aren't prosecuting Janus wrongfully.

I dunno Minky, have you ever seen me mad at...anyone? I mean, seriously mad at someone? Barring small things with Bigmack and everything... This guys smells. This guy smells funny. I really don't get this "feeling" much, at all, and with Janus, I get that "feeling". He's dirty, in my head at least.  He cons people with their money, he never responds to the paintball field thing (Minky, Dicepackage was talking about the same field, and yes, I had researched and found that same Ohio field, but because Janus is in Michigan...two and two together), he mysteriously stops moderating at Airsoft Players due to...what? Oh yeah, a pending law suit against him (check that Airsoft Zone thread)...now that's just dirty. Dirty like a...yeah. Newman has a feeling, and Newman's not going to lose that feeling until Janus rots or wins the case. |

Omega: That's part of my point....no one here is a victim, so while I can sympathize with someone getting screwed, I fail to understand why anyone in this thread seems to have a personal beef with the guy. He cons people with their money, he never responds to the paintball field thing (Minky, Dicepackage was talking about the same field, and yes, I had researched and found that same Ohio field, but because Janus is in Michigan...two and two together), he mysteriously stops moderating at Airsoft Players due to...what? Oh yeah, a pending law suit against him (check that Airsoft Zone thread)...now that's just dirty. Dirty like a...yeah The only things we know for a fact is: 1) he never followed up on the PB place, 2) he stopped being a mod at ASP. All that other stuff is hearsay, gossip, whatever you wanna call it, and it's coming from AirsoftZone of all places....not exactly a bastion of factual information.  I understand you feel the guy's an arse, as do most of us I think; my problem is that you're so sure he's a fake and flat out say that's the case. I think the posts in the thread about .68 Caliber/Janus at AirsoftPlayers pretty much sum up the situation. Until we have absolute proof one way or the other, no matter what your gut feelings may be, it's not fair to condemn the guy. |
