Halloween Zombie event?

[Blitzkreig]

I like the Silverton field. Nice and flat. We could have the survivors on the top of the hill in the back and have the zombies try to come get us. Then at the end we have to GET TO DA CHOPPA!!!!!

I like it.

CAGE was shut down for a variety of reasons:

1. It wasn't profitable enough. Sure, we turned a profit a few months, but not enough for the owner to decide to spend anything more than minimal payroll or building materials. This was, above and beyond, the main reason CAGE is gone. The traffic was not even close to being steady enough to stay open 5 days a week, and this was with two teams training every other week, and a group of a dozen-ish regulars that came in pretty much like clockwork ever Friday or Saturday.

2. Someone kept calling the fire marshal. We passed the first visit that was a gross exaggeration of the report that was filed with the office, and just needed to put up some EXIT signs and fire extinguishers. Unfortunately, the first inspector retired two weeks after that, and the new guy they got after I handed the reins over to Dan was a bit more of a hadass because he felt like he had something to prove (that's speculative, to be fair). Also, one of the chicks in the auction office was a total phony pony to him whenever she got a chance, and he thought that throwing the book at CAGE would affect her in return.

3. The owners were shady and cheap. They were selling vehicles they shouldn't have been selling in their auctions, many of which had problems that weren't disclosed at the time of purchase. They were avoiding taxes somehow. Most of the building wasn't insured for airsoft play (which was the real reason you couldn't use the whole facility). Ultimately, they even backed out of contracts they had signed with partners in the building. Eventually they got caught.

Even if the fire marshal and the owners weren't an issue, the business wasn't making it. We weren't even making enough to pay me and keep the lights on and the (incomplete) insurance paid. Regardless of all the other shit, I'd be amazed if Fadi had backed CAGE to still be open today.

Not to be off topic and stupid... mod edit: THEN DON'T.

Yeah, but Nic, but that story doesn't just apply to CAGE. It goes for every Airsoft arena. They're not profitable. They don't have adequate insurance. Dickheads who like to stick their nose in other people's business call up "the man" to complain. To anybody planning on opening an Airsoft Arena, may God have mercy on your soul. You may as well take a giant pile of money and set it on fire.

Too true.

Anyway, I could see Sniperz Den being a good zombie match too, hold out in the town there? Or spread out people in the orchards and sprinkle zombies everywhere and see if they can rally? I could see a night op in the orchard being pretty bleeding creepy
