WANTED FOR NEW TEAM

[Jester316]

I am starting a new team. This team will be dedicated to the enforcement and judicious upholding of event rules as set forth by the event host. This is not a team of trigger pullers. This is a team of administrators. Event hosts will approach us with requests for a certain number of admins, and we will attempt to fill that or exceed it. We will have strict requirements that must be adhered to. You can still be on another team, as I understand people like to shoot each other in this sport.

Some will question whether we are biased towards a certain side. My goal is that this team will have enough experience on it, that we are able to look past team affiliation, and deal with the issues on the field.



Requirements for joining:
-21 years old or greater
-2 or more years of experience in the Airsoft Pacific community
-Willingness to not pull the trigger for a day, even when being shot by a 13 year old dumbass
-Ability to overlook team affiliation and uphold the rules set by the event host
-CPR/first aid certification*
-Good quality FRS radio (preferred to have a programmable UHF radio to obtain secure admin only frequencies)
-Funds to outfit in a unique camoflauge pattern to easily distinguish admins from others


*CPR/First aid certification can be obtained after joining, but it is a requirement that all members have it eventually.






If you are interested in helping to better this sport through enforcement of the rules as set by the event hosts, than sign up on the team site and explain why you would like to be an airsoft admin.

my brother ray has actually already gotten started on exactly this idea.

[Jester316]

Well... no one has done anything here on AP, so I was unaware of it. I've thought about this for a few months now, and decided to go through with it. Maybe we can merge ideas and for a super team.

[Beran]

yeah talk to him about it. he hasnt solidified anything to my knowledge, but hes been talking about it and getting people on board for a few weeks now.

[Jester316]

I just messaged him on facebook. Hopefully we can get together and form a super team.

[Wombat Six]

I'd be in. It's not like I even play airsoft anymore...

[Jester316]

I might put of a quick and dirty website for those people interested so we can get an actual roster going, and hammer out the details.

[BoogeyMan]

Yeah a few of us have talked of an 'elitist' team - where the members are all known as honorable & safe players. I'm on the band wagon of having 'invite only' events to weed out the bad apples and just overall START HAVING FUN AGAIN. Tired of paying for an event, having high hopes, then seeing a ton of BS, going home disappointed, and feeling ripped off.

I'm willing to help out with whatever needs to be done to make this happen. Cheers!

Good idea. It is somewhat sad to say but we sure could use a lot more adherence to the rules around here, especially in the non-hit calling category. Getting a solid experienced group of admins could help with this, if they are utilized in enough numbers by event hosts.

I do not blame any event host. How could I when dishonest and dishonorable play is the issue. The responsibility lies with the offenders of which, by my own experience and chatter at the games, there are plenty.

I have experience in a few different regions in CA and now in OR and I can tell you that in my opinion, things are pretty bad around here.

I have seen some great operators and some top notch honorable play here, but not nearly to the level it could or should be in my opinion. I would volunteer for the team but I don't feel I could put in the kind of time to really help out at this point, and besides I havent been in AP for 2 years.

Good luck with this endevor and I hope to see many more admins manning the games in the future. It would be nice if it was not necessary, but in this situation I believe it is.

[Jester316]

Age limit added.

[Catch22]

Your website hurts to look at.

If you asked Matt nicely... He'd probably give you a private forum

[Mini-Marine]

Yeah, I wanted to help, but after clicking that link, I've gone blind.

[Jester316]

Website nuked as I suck at webdesign...



Matt, any chance we could get a private section on here?

[Catch22]

Ask him after the 4th weekend is over

[Jester316]

Here is the better looking site (I deleted the old one, and can't get the domain back, hence the new one) http://pacwestairsoftadmins.proboards.com/index.cgi

Ideally, this is another team out there (like APST, SOTA, PSC,...) just one who specializes in admin functions.
