And that's where the add was. In the PHS's newspaper. And we were in Lock-Down cause a guy with GSW walked through our field the other day ;P.

AP is a very small part of any business for an arena in the area. All AP does is show up with a big game twice a year, phony pony about arena costs, then never show up.

[Icepick]

What if every weekend the AP members here went there? That way, there would be more of you guys than the children. Which in turn would hopefully drive them out and you guys could have an indoor field to play at.

[Seahawk]

There has to be somewhere for the little kids to go. I'd rather have them there indoors than out f***ing up normal games.

I know but still, it would be nice to have a indoor place that was not overrun with little kids.

Just because kids dont have their own source of income to nerd out and use every cent on airsofting doesnt mean every bleeding kid is annoying and will shazaam all the games up. Should lighten up, at this rate there wont be any future generations of airsofters.

[Pacman]

One could argue the actions of up and coming generations of airsofters are the ones who will kill the game for everyone with irresponsible activity. Just sayin'
No one needs to spend a ton of money, they just need to act more responsible and yes this includes some of the 18+ crowd too

That's true and all, but if you would kindly take a look around your school and judge the maturity and character of the majority of them, you will see what he was getting at.

The future generations are the ones who don't f**k thing up and go regardless if they are young or not. As long as you're not an idiot you won't get looked down upon.

[Mcluvin]

Although not all of us "youngsters" are complete f**k ups, I can't blame the majority of AP's veteran players for thinking that people under 18 ruin games because most of the time it is the people that are young, that ruin games for everyone. My 2 cents.

From an arena's financial perspective, kids are who show up consistently and provide cashflow.

AP is a very small part of any business for an arena in the area. All AP does is show up with a big game twice a year, phony pony about arena costs, then never show up.

Adults would show up and provide cash flow too if the game play offered was significant and the arena was well equipped. I haven't seen any arena put on consistent realistic tactical scenarios that were worth attending. Now, if you had time to finish the build on CAGE that you started, you might have turned things around. But you joined when it was already on the way out.

There's still lots of kids/parents here looking for places to play. Lots of folks who aren't even active in the forums search AP for playfields, game ideas, and other info. Parents get in touch with me about locations and arenas all the time. AP is a better source of business referral than most local options. You also forget that those damn kids, they're all here. That's 75% of Rick's audience for his games. Works for him obviously.
