Chrissyg Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 I missed the night game but the guys in the zentai suits scared me That was my lot Had a great weekend, but there definitely are a few issues for me, this being my 4th year now. Firstly, the price, I paid an extra £5 or £10 this year and got no freebies like last year? My first year I paid £40, then 2007 it was £50, then 2008 was £65 and now £70? Secondly, too many people. I say this every year I come back from it apart from the '06 weekender when there were 750 odd people (best gaming I've ever had). However, I understand this is a business, any opportunity that arises to increase cash flow is fair enough! Thirdly, the toilets, as per every year they were a disgrace. Fourthly, how long its taken to get these scores up, H managed to do it within 2 hours on Saturday, and its taken him the best part of a week to total them up? However, on a lighter note, Saturday I had some really good gaming and getting stuck in, had a lot of fun and its days like that which bring me back yearly! Saturday night game was a bit of a let down, and I generally thought the organisation this year was somewhat lacking compared to the previous years. Enough of my grumbles, hope you enjoyed Team Jelly Babies as we were so kindly named Chrissy Link to post Share on other sites
Alpha2 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Well i would have to agree with Maddog and Catman that we had a great weekend, it was a shame the minigun was not up and running as much as we would have liked but then Others and Bravo never really got close enough. Like to thank those that looked after the 50.cal, it was good to hear that it got an award and a number of kills. Its one of the few events were you find the social side as good as the airsofting itself, thanks to Team Beans,Jersey gang,Marshalls and H for letting us bring on the Battlewagon. Also like to apologise to my team mates for opening up on the 60 in our tent, it seemed a good idea at the time, as luck had it we didnt have much rain. regards Alpha2 Manx Militia Delta Link to post Share on other sites
RWJP Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 many people saying that delta always cheat. this only being my second GZ can anyone shed some light on this? it seems that delta get a pretty rough deal with the other 2 teams pretty much against them I wasn't at this weekender sadly, however, I play at GZ a lot. I am a Delta normally, and have seen a fair share of deltas cheating... However, nothing in comparison to The Others/SOG and Bravo, who seem to have personal force-fields that deflect BBs that come within an inch of them... Sadly, GZ attracts a lot of young, new players who aren't the greatest skirmishers out there, so cheating, and accusations of cheating are rife... Link to post Share on other sites
darkchild130 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 I like to think of myself as a level headed and reasonable person. Apart from the previously mentioned times, i didnt witness any cheating at the weekender. I personally believe that about 80-90% of perceived "cheating" is just a biased point of view. Im not saying cheating doesnt happen, but i think a lot of people are not as good as they like to think they are and a lot of the time just dont hit what they are aiming at. With that + adrenaline, I think its safe to say a hell of a lot of "cheating" is just ranting. EDIT: Just saw your vid Basho, good stuff. Quite surprised to see myself in it (looking very happy too i might add!) Darkchild Link to post Share on other sites
hexem Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 My fourth time there with the team(trenchrats) we always enjoy it and have a laugh, it's that one time of year everyone bands together for it. Couldn't really give a *suitcase* about the scores, i mean that's part of it, but not the most important aspect, it's over now lol Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Over until next year any way. Until then we have photos, videos, stories, and memories. And maybe a trip or two to other skirmish sites where people we met there game. It was a great time. Grim Link to post Share on other sites

L4byr1nth Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 I'm more interested in them putting up some of the pictures the marshals were taking. Still, it has been quite a long wait. Ben. Link to post Share on other sites

Catman Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 LOL Mike you were funny, remind me not to let you near that dish water you call "Carling" I saw a bit of cheating but I think it came about from people getting frustrated and aggressive , I know I got a bit 'fed up'at one point As for waiting for the pics; Hmm it's getting a bit stupid now, so I'm going to be rather negative now: Considering it was £70 and there were ohh roughly 1500 of us...£105,000?!! Hiring a porta-bog cost £90...Marshalling on Sunday was no where near as good as Saturday as Marshal numbers were way down on Sunday. I suppose we're going to have to pay to see the pics too? Anyway I still had a good time, the social aspect was the best part of it for me. I would suggest they introduce reasonable ammo limits next time but I know that just won't happen.

Basho Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 I suppose that the GZ weekender was a poor use of £80, as the actual airsoft, especially on sunday, was quite poor in quality. However! I enjoyed my time, had a great couple of parties, and shot up some newbies. What more can one want? Not much! Link to post Share on other sites
L4byr1nth Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Some of the airsoft I saw was extremely poor, but the majority of it, especially on the Saturday, was great, bar the non-hit taking. On Sunday, the atmosphere was slightly more relaxed - some people had obviously overdone it the night before. Had some good fun, made some great shots, so it's all good. I'll be back next year, although this wait for the pictures and results is a bit of a let-down. Ben. Link to post Share on other sites

Basho Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Awesome! About bloody time we won after all the stick we get from Bravo Link to post Share on other sites
greg Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Some of the airsoft I saw was extremely poor, but the majority of it, especially on the Saturday, was great, bar the non-hit taking. When you are dealing with this amount of people, you have to expect to see all parts of the spectrum. It's hard enough to guarantee that 20 hand picked mates will all behave perfectly all day. So 1200 random, unvetted folk, for a whole week end. That's more than Plymouth get at an away game. Greg. Link to post Share on other sites
greg Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I can understand & in a way share the enthusiasm over the Delta Victory. But have to point out that up until a few years back, Delta always won. It was kind of a standing joke & tbh, no one cared. It made for a great atmosphere as it removed the more aggressive tendencies of the super competitive. Knowing that however the day played out, no matter how good, or bad you were, Delta would win, was a great leveler. Those on Delta couldn't rub any ones nose in it & Bravo never got the hump. It bought the focus on playing, not winning & as a consequence, the standard of play was very high. Greg. Link to post Share on other sites

Azubi Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I thought on Saturday the Others were only 400 or so points behind Delta? He made a point of it when he announced the Saturday scores. DELTA Saturday Objectives Completed – 14770 OTHERS Saturday Objectives Completed – 8080 Link to post Share on other sites
LuckyPSD Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 He also made a point of stressing that unspent cash on the day was converted to points just to show how close it was but those points would be converted back to cash for the next day hence the apparent drop in scores.
