I would like to thank everyone for bearing with us for the bitterly cold temperatures and rampant gun failure. Despite the issues, I hope everyone had fun...
I agree with a lot of your above statements. I will try my best and answer concerns in the order they were presented.
Late Start Time - Yeah, I agree. I was very disappointed with this as well. But when almost half of one entire side wasn't there, there isn't a whole lot we can do. Delaying the event isn't fun, but sometimes in a necessary evil.
I guess we will have to start instituting Tex's style of extremely strict start times along with prepayment/increased walk-on payments to solve this problem. Because I agree with everyone on this issue, it does ruin the event.
Field Improvements - This is something we have zero control over. We can build anything we want on Bangor, because we can set the entire field up according to how we (the players) want it. At Chaos, they have a system and they follow it.
Unbalanced Teams - This normally happens at events... It sucks, but we have to deal with it the best we can. I have switched ACU and ABU over to the green side of things for Desolation next month. A bit of a trial run to see how it works in balancing both numbers and experience levels.
Team Commanders Or Lack There Of - We need people to sign up for these positions. To be honest here, I tried to have green team break down into smaller squads with radio operators to compensate for the lack of commanders.
I have lowered the admission price for Codename: Desolation to $20.00 to help compensate for this event. It didn't go as planned and I apologize for that guys...
To look on the bright side of this event...
- Almost zero hit calling incidents (that were reported).
- Zero major goggle violations.
- I didn't hear anyone getting heated over anything that went awry during this game.
- Everyone seemed to have a positive attitude.
Again, thanks to everyone for attending.
As I said at the end of the event before we had our man hug... At least you make the effort to throw something together and do so regularly. Can't wait till next month.
