I'm sure I can get some of 3.14, as well as a few others, but if not, you'll have my support and help either way.

I can't speak for Doom; it's still too early and we have way too many members graduating college this semester to know what our Michigan membership count will be this fall. So I wouldn't plan on us being available to help.

I need to start keeping a list of who and what teams are going to contribute. So far I have Gimp, Immortal and whoever Matic can get from 3.14.
Well at-least now that I know there is interest in this I will sit down and have a discussion with the owner and see how much, if not all the property we can use, get a field map, if he wants any restrictions on vehicles, etc. If this game goes well he may consider doing events a few times a year, who knows.

I've been talking with a friend about getting his team to help out because currently I'm not part of one. They are discussing weather or not they will be able to help out or if they should help out. If that's any hope for you in making this event possible.

Had a meeting with Tino, the owner of the Ogemaw Sports and trail center today. He is definitively interested in holding this event. So here is what we are dealing with.
100+ Acres of land, a large AO. Trails Massive hills and terrain variation. Small vehicles in play, however they are only allowed on the trails, they are not to be taken up the 80ft hill climb areas He doesn't want people in his hunting blinds, as they are a good 30-40 ft in the air. plenty of camping, 20 camping spots up front, 50 in the back of the property, Water and electricity on site, with recational activies such as volleyball in those campsites as well. (Would love to see a hellfish vs SK volleyball game for shits and gigs) Either late july or mid august. fairly cheap, $30 a head.
The only issue I am having with him is he wants full face protection, as he is coming from the paintball mindset, that a paintball can dislocate your jaw, so I am gonna go over there with my chrono and explain even though Airsoft guns have higher fps, they are weaker than Paintball guns due to the fact that paintball guns are hurling a heavy .50cal projectile that weights a lot more than an airsoft pellet at 280 fps so there is a lot more force behind it, and try to either convince him the full face masks aren't necessary or get him to compromise to allow mesh lower face masks or shemaghs to be worn in place of a paintball mask.
I'm gonna have to message Canto and Mosin and make sure my game won't clash with any of theirs, because this guy, being a business man, wants to maximize his profits here.
So who is all still interested?, I feel we can make this work.

I could probably pull me and atleast 2 others into this, but requiring lower face masks in a non CQB environment kind of sucks based on personal preference.

I know, I am gonna work on a compromise with him, If not I'm just gonna tell him he's not gonna get the buisness to make it worth it if he doesn't either he will give in or decide not to run a game at all. He would be stupid to do that though. He's already looking at a huge profit for just this one game.

In regards to he full face protection, I would give him examples of what Hell Survivors and No Limits allows us to do, which are also paintball fields. Since he has a paintball mindset, maybe this will help sway him.

Since he has a paintball mindset, maybe this will help sway him. I plan too. Once I get my chrono I am setting up another meeting with him. Also gonna bring some event photos and vidoes of Jackal III and a few other field games to show him that very few fields require this

The more the merry saying works in the situation so I'll look into it maybe get some people to join with me, but put me on the list for the time being.

Aside from the full face mask rule which has already been addressed, the next issue I see is that the AO is just on a big piece of property correct? So there isn't any hard cover for playing unless it's natural vegetation or terrain variation. I know that you mentioned adding things, but the money in materials would be very expensive but the effort and time involved in adding artificial cover to only have to take down the next day doesn't sound like its worth it.

How about a 24 hour game? Several years ago one was in the works that fell through. It takes a commitment from the players to put forth an effort for that long and be equiped to handle it. The only reason I bring it up is because of the size of the field. I don't see this working well on a smaller field.

That'd be a good time

24 hours means you don't need to plan for as many players either, just more operations. I'd be all in to help out with that.
