Question: Why is it 10$ for a Skirm?

Is there some really badass game play, or am i just gunna show up to some CTF and Team death match?

Not to be rude, i just find it Strange that a skirm is 10$...

[Kefka]

Will aim for Sunday, but I'll look into Saturday depending on how the weather is looking. It'll be after finals, so that'll be perfect time to relax! Then again, also don't know if I'll be sober enough to hit anything by Saturday morn. . .

So Sunday!

You're not being rude...it's a legitimate question, and one I asked at first. Upon further consideration, I feel it is time to shift our paradigm...

Traditional skirms are hosted by individuals, or teams in the AP community. Someone gets permission to use a chunk of land out in the sticks, and off we go to play.

These skirms do not have any real predictability. What if I get up one morning and think..."Hmmm let's go play airsoft", and there is no skirm? I'm SOL.

The Farm is a business. They provide 22 acres, parking, a bathroom, drinks, ammo, and admin(s), or "game moderators" as they call them.

When you play at S4 Tactical, do you expect to play for free? No. Why? Because they are a business. Same with The Farm. Personally, I think $10 is pretty reasonable to play for the day whenever I want.

Having a dedicated, controlled field also helps to promote a positive image of airsoft.

while i agree with you beran....ABT never ever charged more then $5 dollars for a full day of play. if you ever had a game there with a price point higher then five bucks, then it was run by SOTA, BSP, or AP.

regular skirms should be free or $5. ABT was open for over 2 years. they had lots of people show out, because the price was right for what they are offering.

if i go to the farm and shell out $10-25 bucks, and get gameplay that is less desired then standard well known promoters, then YAY, the farm got my buisness ONCE, and chances are i would probably never return. so it sounds like they are willing to kill thier buisness, by over extending thier model, and putting a seriuous stigma upon the field. so you are willing to risk field useage by the community, because you wanted more money.

and this community is visious, and can break you. if you shazaam them over they will be very vocal about it.


what the owners need to see here, is that if they want the community to come out in full force and utilize this field, then need to spend alot more time introducing the field with as many lowcost games as possible this summer. or we will see the farm close due to lack of considerable participation.

as it stands now, i dont see any major promoters aproaching these guys anytime soon.


hope your game works out.
