An Open Letter to Terror Management

[Manicotti Airsoft]

I'm just going to say, that contract looks horribly shady and unprofessional. It has awful grammar throughout, and, as Variable pointed out, has a typo. That in and of itself makes me somewhat wary of Steve's business, let alone the way he handles this affair with SOTA. Don't expect to see me on that field again.

The Field is Warpaint, which is a good field, just dont ever do business with T1T they are the problem

I requested this be re-posted after Steve decided to perpetuate stirring up drama in this thread.

That's a blood thirsty contract right there. I am honestly not sure I would even sign that. That field isn't worth it. Comparable fields have only charged $10/person with no additional camping fees, vendor fees, or non-refundable deposits. We all know vendors make a very tiny profit margin. We're not all millionaires here, this is a small community and a lesser known hobby. Attitudes like this ruin it for the rest of us. I can understand you don't want to get screwed over, but the SOTA event was obviously a success. Just look at the forum posts about it. It's good press for your field. At least it was, until Justin posted this.

Please don't let the contract reflect Warpaint in any way. Warpaint did not create or sign this one. We don't charge for camping, or vendor fees. We only charge for use of our land, insurance charges, and upkeep of the facilitys.

Contracts are brutal, they are the suck

[Bad Karma]

UPDATE (also posted in the OP): Steve sent the following PM to Ash (Mike) today. Unless I am mistaken, demanding for money in exchange for deleting/removing libelous content loosely constitutes blackmail.

Karma called me and said that Riddick sold 8 bags so he owes me 8 dollars. I told Karma to get me receipts from AAS for the sold inventory. He said he would talk to Riddick, that is where it was left.

Of course there will be no receipts forthcoming from Rick as he doesn't use them. The IRS is interested.


I am willing to let it go completely,-------- with an written apology from Bad Karma and Pulsipher here on AP stating they are to blame for this fiasco and that they disregarded the contract we had-------. I have quit T1T over this and the Riddick issue. The money means nothing to me but the disrespect I have been privy too is too much to let go. In lew of this happening you can send the 150.00 bucks to Scott and we will erase all posts that have anything to do with the issue at hand.

I didn't get into it with you guys on the field as I didn't want to mess up your game, you had enough on your minds. You see, I tried to show you respect even when I truely felt pissed on.

If Brandon would have kept his mouth shut it could have been swept under the rug.

Steve, if you are reading this, you will not receive an apology from me. In fact, the only thing you will receive from me is an emphatic promise to continue bringing into the public domain any further libelous/unethical/threatening statements you provide privately to members of SOTA.

[Switch]

This makes me sad to hear that you guys in SOTA have to deal with this. I had a blast at Ash bash, and I hope you guys will find another location that will not bring such pain after the fact. Thank you Justin, for bringing this to the communities attention.

[Variable]

This is BS. I'm never having anything to do with T1T, or Mr. Towns in a business or airsoft sense. Sure it may be just business to Mr. Towns, but that kind of excuse no longer holds water in my book.

Caveat: I'm just one person whose opinion in this matter is just that of a bystander.

[DMitri]

Steve is a greedy shazaam more interested in making a buck than airsoft?

I'm shocked.

SHOCKED I SAY!

Way to cry over $8. Seriously, grow the shazaam up.

[Doss]

Sounds like both parties had problems and this could be better settled with a sit down between members of both parties and mediator(s). Not with shit flung back and forth on an internet forum

[DMitri]

But then this community wouldn't know how money-grubbing/libelous/unethical/threatening Steve is.

EDIT: Well, unless you read this thread where he admits to it.

[Doss]

And its getting what resolved? Helping this community how? Or you just want to happen here so you have another place to spew your shit?

[Beran]

if things like this don't come out so that the whole community can see it, it is much more likely to happen again.

Gotta love the mindset that thinks I not only spew shit whimsically, but that I would then need a thread like this to do said whimsical-spewing.
