Will the 2nd floor be open?

[baconsandwich1988]

I think I'll pass Mantaray, I appreciate the offer. I'm probably going to visit MTAC or Phoenix Tactical.

I just felt I might want to voice my concerns. One thing though, a gasoline powered generator on a 2nd floor is really, really bad... Carbon Monoxide is heavier than air, so it sinks. I hope you know that your players on the first floor were running around in rooms of very toxic air. I should know, University of Michigan Chemical Engineering Major.

I appreciate your trying to push my research onto someone else. The video on your website as well as the one posted here; one can clearly hear a generator in the background.

I'm going to have to back up baconsandwich on the matter of the generator. I did make it down to one of the games (I can't remember which one exactly) and I left reeking of kerosene and having trouble breathing. I would highly suggest that you postpone any games until you can get adequate ventilation in there.
The matter of the lighting was also a concern of mine. It is very poor in fact I didn't see one electrically powered light source in the entire area. The only light was from the sun and that can only work if it's actually out.
I would also suggest making sure the floor is cleared. I saw one to many people trip over the random boards laying on the ground. Maybe more lights would help show the hazards.
Again, I'm only expressing concern and not trying to bash you guys. It's just my opinion and I'm just trying to help.
I think I'll head over to MTAC or Phoenix for comparison.

To clear a few things up, the kerosene heaters up front are gone, they use a hot propane heater, the kind that's been used in camps and cabins for years.
I agree about the kerosene though, it was a bit much.

As far as the gennie goes, not sure about the fumes, I never smelled anything when I've been there. The lighting has been much improved since I started going, and though a bit more light can help, you can only work with what you have.

Personally, I'm happy to have a CQB place so close by (about an hour drive for me). I know PT may have a cleaner layout, as theirs looks like a new building, but I'm not driving 2.5 hours each way for that. No slam on those guys, it's just economics.

[AztecWarrior]

I think that the lighting is adequate, and most if any random boards laying around are pushed against the back wall so that they are not in the way.

On a different note, maybe you should update the roster Tino

[Tino]

I would update the roster but the Mantaray is in charge of this one.

[Munster]

I just want to know who these guys with one post each are coming in and voicing their "concerns". We are a little rough around the edges, but we just opened in November. We are in the process of improving the building. There is more than adequate ventilation. Everything is legal and ready to go. Let this be the end of this.

[baconsandwich1988]

Mantaray, your attitude towards me makes me really want to play at your games.

Tell your buddy Napoleon I said Hi.

What the hell is this?

I made a few simple posts to voice my concerns about driving across the state to play at your 'CQB' facility.

If you cannot deal with someone asking questions and voicing concerns, considering it's a 100+ mile drive one way; maybe you shouldn't be in business.

Yeah I know I'm new here. Not a whole lot I can do about that. At least in chat people like Kustom and others were able to answer my questions without being a jerk.

I believe this is a matter that should be takin up on the PMs not littering the event section.

Tino I may not be able to make it this weekend, just giving you a heads up.

BaconSandwich,

Sunshine does have a point. Keep that stuff to PM's from now on please. I understand you are new here, but we try and keep drama like that out of the public eye. PM sent as well.

I will allow your post to stand unedited/undeleted for two reasons:

1) Your original question was about safety concerns of a field/facility.
2) It is the responsibility of the field operator/event coordinator to address questions or concerns of the latter.

- Canto.

How to not ignore people with relevant posts:

1. Add Cry Havoc to the Roster (We officially signed up on your site).

2. Tell me whether or not a 2nd floor is in use (if so, that sounds cool).


I've never played there but I'm excited to see a local place pop up and am ready and willing to support it.

[Munster]

1. 2nd floor will be in use.
2. You are on the roster.
Sorry for the noise on here, its been a little weird lately..

So it seems that I do not have a team and not really sure if I want to do a pick up team. I was hoping that I would be able to be a hunter only for the day. So if that is possible I will be there on Sunday the 7th.

[Tino]

I'm down to be on a team with ya since Sunshine might not be able to make it.

[Piper (Immortal)]

Wish I could make it guys. I'd love to be on a team. Oh well, sounds super fun, and I'm sad that I live 3 hours away.
