Getting up early for work has conditioned me to get up early, I cant sleep past 7Am anyhow. If games start at 10 or later there is a good chance I have been up for 3 to 4 hours, the earlier the better

Yes, but the extra sleep guarantees I don't have liquid shits.

I certainly don't have an issue making my games earlier if it works out right. Sheyuuttt, I want to go home earlier in the day as well.

I get that same problem...It's rather vexing, but 10 AM seems to work rather nice.

I like the 10 ~ 11 start time for three main reasons.

1: most fields are around an hour away from my house

2: Chrono, reg and briefing is usually takes an hour or more before the game starts so a 10 am game means people need to show up around 8 or 9am

3: I like to sleep


IMO if anyone is unhappy with the time games currently start try hosting a game or skirm that starts much earlier as an experiment and see how it works out. Actions always speak louder then words.

Right, but a poll makes it easier to decide which action to take - or if action is needed at all.

I say 9, because I'm up by 7:30 every morning and i get antsy just sitting around, so the sooner the better. But i recognize that some of you gentlemen need some sleep.

Edit: Noticed some one changed my Girl into Gentlemen. Lol nice admin powers :lol:

Well with Wolvirene meet up games we woke up as soon as the sun came up and whoever didnt would be yelled at, get saftey googles thrown in their face and get to play SERPENTINE.

Nine 'o bleeding clock.
So we can get started by 10 and I can arrive at 9 or so and be ready in perfect time to get straight to the shooting.
If you've ever noticed, I am antsy at an airsoft game in the morning. I don't wanna talk, I want to rain plastic death on many, MANY fools.
I can talk to my comrades at the deadpool, or at dairy queen afterwards.

And I hear ya on the pewpin' Junto. If I don't take a HUGE shit at Mc Donalds before I leave, it's the first goddamn thing I do when I arrive on the field... and boy does it feel good afterwards.

Sheeeeeeit.. I also am conditioned to get up early for work these days.
Can't stand that 3 hour wait before I can leave. Arrive at the field, another hour of dicking off. bleeding christ. AIRSOFT!
