I don't feel that is a fair statement Cort. I put in tons of man hours and effort to get my events running smoothly and be a great enjoyment for all. And yet still I have horrible amounts of no shows, it's mind boggling. But you will see when you come to Cerberus, that not all games in Michigan are just a mass of flying plastic.

It wasn't aimed at you Tex but I will say almost all the events in Michigan have had more dick around time than game play. When you have a relaxed schedule you will find that people will assume the start time is relaxed to and show up late or not show at all.
Multimillion dollar companies pay me for consulting so why should an event holder listen to what I have to say?

And yet still I have horrible amounts of no shows, it's mind boggling. But you will see when you come to Cerberus, that not all games in Michigan are just a mass of flying plastic. I held a prepay event... and allowed a more expensive pay at the door... 13 people out of the 34 showed up. I host great events, Hey Tex pull your damn head out of your ass and say hello to the real world YOU HOST HORRIBLE EVENTS!The one that I went to, was shoot at these people for 30 minutes and make sure they don't get this point, after that it was just you guys vs you guys for the rest of the day. I also heard the the other one was just as bad. You are nothing but an arrogant a-hole. It seems like when some one makes you all mad and pouty you get all upset and want to start some thing to get back at those people since your mommy can't call there parents and get them in trouble. You need to grow up if you want to have a banned list for your field, thats fine, but just because "he said he would be at my game and he wasn't " WA WA WA! GROW UP! I know it makes it tough when people don't show up but people have lives out side of airsoft. If I can't get out of work well I am not going to quit just to go to some run of the mill Michigan game when I wouldn't even quit for a lion claws event. I take airsoft seriously, I try to be the best I can, and most of my free money goes to airsoft, but it is just a game! Prepaying helps, but there are more ways of compensating for mismatched teams, have every one bring two sets of camo there problem solved. Or since Michigan insists on multiple camos for the same team change them around to get even teams. This is why I hate Michigan Airsoft, its all based out of the forums. It seems that nobody has the balls to walk up to somebody and say your peace, instead you want to make a list and post it on the forum. The whole Idea of a state wide "No Show List" is stupid and wrong because just because someone doesn't show for a game he won't be accepted to any game. There I have said my peace!

Oh no I said something that made Tex mad I am so scared . see that just proves my point of not talking to the person but just banning them for disagreeing with you! ( Tex why don't you tell me what you think to my face, instead of calling for me to be banned to just get rid of the problem)

Well capatankeys, we at MIA have rules and you have been here long enough to know them. We do not allow personal attacks and that is exactly what you did. I think you could have been much more constructive with your wity retort but you chose the low road. Take a week off and please abide by the rules when you get back.

Capatankeys,
Tone it down pronto. You think Tex runs bad events? I have a simple solution for you: don't go to them anymore. If you want to criticize his events, do so in the after action report section and do it with some civility. And if you don't like the idea of a no-show list, then state your complaints without all of the personal attacks. For that, you get a warning.
Tex,
I'm impressed. Thanks for not flipping your shit.

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. Nothing Personal Though! BTW +1 for Texas' massive willpower.

Bigj, have yourself a warning for that inflamatory post. Why was it inflamatory, despite its tongue-in-cheek nature? Because it's sole purpose was to continue a conflict that we already put an end to. Posts like that do far more to hurt the forum than just about anything else, short of the nonsense that capatankeys posted originally.

Oh I've seen it. But that doesn't make his comment any more warranted.

I was a little inflamed over someone's 3rd ever post in two years being so unpleasant to a contributing community member. But, as you said it was already taken care of. By the way, not enough people use the phrase "tongue-in-cheek" so that made me giggle and was worth the warning.

Agreed J.
But ignorance happens. Owell.
I have only been to 2 event and 3 rec games so I dont really have enough experience with players or event holders to know who I dislike and who I dont.
But Tex I hope that if I make the 4-ish hour trip out there that it will be worth my while.

Now that I'm not so heated about his comments, I suppose I'll post a short reply. I've hosted one event. Single. Uno. The events held by OpDoc and MOA, we not mine. All I did there was be a moderator and help out when conflicts between players occured. I never organized any of it or executed any of the events. The event that I have hosted, which was 18+ MILSIM, Black Eagle, was a smashing hit for those who did attend. If you think I'm bluffing, take a look over at the After Action Report here: miairsoft.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=eventaar&action=display&thread=21836I learned valuable things to do and not to do while helping at the MOA games, and learned from all the mistakes and short comings in those in order to make for a very successful OP. You seem to misunderstand the list, and that's fine, but I'm not going to defend myself or the reasons behind the list. So, if a moderator would like to lock this thread, it would be greatly appreciated, this list can be just something us hosts and field owners have privately between us and does not need to be public.
