A few of the Suicide Kings have been kicking around this idea for a little while, and I thought I’d post a feeler thread to gauge interest.
Years ago GK hosted some new player events, to help airsofters just getting into the sport, get a feel for what Milsim and more structured gameplay was like.
We would like to bring this idea back, and use some of the upcoming events at No Limits as an opportunity to try these type events again. Before anyone screams, don’t take away our rec games, that’s not the idea at all. We would still run a normal Rec game, but we would take participating players to another part of the field where we could go over things like squad tactics/movement, communication and anything else someone wanted to run through.
The coolest part of these events (at least in our opinion) is that vets would be able to interact with new/younger players, and those newer players could benefit from the experience of seasoned players. Airsoft at large national events like Northern Lights or OP: Blacksheep is vastly different than what a lot of players will get the chance to experience going to rec games, or even Michigan based Milsims.
In no way am I claiming that MIA’s vets know everything there is to about airsoft, but I know I personally learned a lot from running with more experienced players when I first started out.
As a community, there is a vast pool of experience and knowledge that are out there for the taking, and it would be cool to have an opportunity to mentor some of the newer players.
Does this sound at all interesting to anyone, or am I lost in some utopian dream world? (before you make a hippie comment, I am the farthest thing from a flower child you will ever meet)
