Killerplushtoy: Yeah, that would be pretty cool. Maybe we should try to set up a "younger" airsoft club or a group of airsoft players that can't really afford all that gear. I could probably at least get an AEG for my birthday (already have my Christmas list set up), or if not, I could just get a spring and play at the "younger" games, if we do make a younger club.  Maybe cmptrdewd could join too, since he says he knows a lot of people that are like us.

By the way cmptrdewd, if you don't know PHP or HTML, I could make the website. I know some HTML (not a lot) but enough to make an OK website.

EDIT: I worded that a little too confusing. What I was meaning to say is we should start an airsoft group of younger people who can't really afford all that fancy stuff. It would most likely be a mix of springers/non-expensive AEG's, at least from what I've read.

You guys can always get together and do your own Airsoft gaming.  AA is more milsim and more adult oriented.  16 years old minimum age with an adult sponsor or one of your parents attending the game with you.  What ever you do, play safe, always wear protective goggles and it wouldn't hurt to wear full face paintball masks to keep you from losing a tooth.  It has happened in the past.

Another question: a "non-official" AA game would be pretty much any game other than an "official" AA game, right?

Man who go to sleep with itchy but, wake up with stinky finger.

Having a smoking section in a restaraunt is like having a peeing section in a pool.

Making a "can't afford stuff" club was my plan starting out since there are a lot of people that only have springers. But they are not looking to get seriously into airsoft like me. Once I get the cash and get old enough I hope to join airsoftaz and do more serious tactics, movement, milsim, etc.

I know HTML pretty well and I have frontpage and so far my web looks pretty good. Thanks for the offer though!

I would love to come join you guys! You live in Chanler (please exsue my spelling :oops: ) right? I live in the North Phoenix area, like Deer Valley. Soooo if you plan a game that is within a 30 min. drive from my house, I'll come down!

I'd be fine with both milsim and just regular skirmishes. Both seem fine to me  :)

BTW cmptr... (forgot the rest of the name, sorry  :oops: )

I'm pretty much looking to do the same thing as you. Once I get old enough and have the money for better equipment, I would join AA and go to the games. But until then we should try organizing "lighter" games for the people that are like us. I'll probably get a cheap AEG for my B-Day (January 28), probably an MP5 (don't want something too expensive), then I'll be set gun wise for the games.

 Let me know the web address when you get it up!  :)

Thanks.

Cmptrdewd(AH HAH I got it!)- About when do you expect the webpage to be up? And about when do you think the "lighter" group we're trying to make would have it's first game?

Yes and you got it right... I live in Chandler!

Well progress on the site is slow... you can blame that on my sister since she always hogging computer. [smilie=armata_pdt_02.gif]  I'm using my laptop right now, but I only have frontpage on computer. I hope to get done by mid Jan. I also hope to plan the first game somewhere around late Jan./early Feb.

Chandler is a far ways from my place and it would be hard for me to plan around an hours drive to make a game...    but we'll see! [smilie=armata_pdt_20.gif]

Alright sounds good. I should probably have a gun by then... but I never know...

Around how many people do you know that would be able to come to the first game? You said you knew a lot of people who had springers and low level guns. Also, what kind of gun do you have?

Well, I do know a lot of people who own low level guns, but I don't know how many would show up for sure. If I had to make a guess I would say anywhere from 4 players up to 30! When I get the web up I will ask people that have low end guns to e-mail me so I can get a number. Until then I have really no way of telling how many will actually show up for a game.

As of now I have a mini electric MP5 with extra-cap scope and a Beratta springer. Lame loadout, but it will have to do for now.

I pretty sure that I will have two extra clips and tac. holster for Beratta by the first game.

Actually that was a mistake with the forum... I really turn 13 on January 28. Since the 8 in 28 was next to a ), it made 28)

But wow... up to 30 people! That's gonna (if they all come) be a lot of people!

On the lame loadout thing... well, at least you got a springer... my only airsoft gun is a cheap mini MP5 I got a long time ago for target shooting. Also made a great grasshopper "hunting" gun too  :)  But on my birthday I'm asking for a TM MP5, two extra high caps, 3400 BB's, and two mag pouches (one for loaded mags, the other as a magazine "dump"). I'm not sure if I will get it all for free though... I will probably have to use some of my Christmas money for it.

OK because I'm going to have a 13 year old age limit! I'll have to plan in Feb. then! But that's ok, I'd let you come any way, just say your 13! [smilie=armata_pdt_29.gif]
