Event Hosting?

[X]

Yes. If you need to add info just edit the last post.

Edit: This is the correct way of doing things.

Taho, these guys are absolutely right, a lot goes into hosting events, I started with No experience, learned the hard way, took those lessons into consideration, tried fixing the issues, and still made mistakes left and right, I'm in essentially the some position as you, came from backyard Airsoft wanting something more, and decided to bring the game to me. It's not an easy thing to do for Most people. I have to thank the MiA community of being so critical because it's taught me a lot. It's taught me about maturity, the responsibility of hosting games,(Which I haven't quite mastered) and respect, something I lacked when I came onto this forum. On the MiA facebook group me and Knief went round and round on a lot of things. One Day something just clicked and my outlook on things changed. I respect Knief quite a lot now.

My advice, don't make the same mistakes I did, go to a few games first, contact other MiA members about carpooling, you will be making friends on the road trip and its a great way to make connections. Spend some time talking to the hosts and the moderators, other players, consult the Paintball field you are considering hosting at as they would have had some experience as well. If you have your heart set on hosting, then host, that is the only way we will get a new generation experienced to host games, Make sure you plan it out well, learn what not to do, talk to your friends if you need moderators, even if you need to train them they will still be better than nothing, if players have an issue with the moderators not doing there job than address that issue, and have a plan be, my last games I had moderators ready to go and they all canceled on me last second, so plan for that as well.
