Possible LC event in PacNW - 2012

[Catch22]

Occupy Milsim!

[Matt]

Yeah, we gotta take the power back!

[Night_Stocker]

Or just take back Mil-Sim

Then in order to do this, we must occupy everyone MilSim game that isn't truly MilSim

The sentence does not make sense. I do not intend to be picky, but I'm having trouble understanding you.

He's making a joke about the Occupy Portland/ Occupy Wall Street movement.

He's saying we should "Occupy" any Mil-Sim event that isn't truly Mil-Sim so as to take back the term from the posers who are trying to use it for monetary gain.

[Darius137]

There has to be a distinction to separate the types of mil-sim, so people have expectations met.

But that's a tangent. I never do that.

Time to go troll Occupy Portland. I hope to get someone tear gassed. Hopefully a baby. STOP TRIGGER PULLIN PIGS!

[Nark]

This looks like it can be a lot of fun! They just need to get a good AO in order to fully be there.

Hey guys. Been chatting with Nasty on this issue.
I wanted to coordinate the different groups around the Northwest.
Last time i talked to John Lu, he was concerned if the Northwest could bring in 100-200 players for an event.
I told him the different groups like AP do this in a skirmish.

It now has a name:

Folks in the NW, be ready for Operation Trade Winds this Aug. !!

Here are the other boards if you want to follow.

If he's promoting a Pacific NW event he should come add it to our event calendar

[Eudorus]

Airsoft is LARP.
If you don't accept that you're just kidding yourself.

I'll pass. This would be considered a 2nd tier event and those are no different than what we already have for $30+. For a $165 I need to see alot more than what I did at Route 66.

Also if this ends up at Camp Rilea, we can host events there (so it's not as unique of a AO as one might think) and it's really cheap to host there as well.

Irene or the Main Lion Claws event (Tier 1) I would be down possibly

However I am going to Oklahoma Invasion so my monies are going to that.

For the most part Lion Claws is like the LiPo Ready fad, it sounds cool but there is nothing special about it once you scratch the surface.

However this is a cool thing for the PACNW airsoft players to be apart of since a national host is coming to us.

[Unconventional]

Obviously realism is in the eye of the beholder, but my understanding of Mil-Sim has always been going that extra mile for realism. Compared to most airsoft, it's a huge deal to only have mags loaded with 30 rounds a piece. It's a huge deal to only have one life, and no respawns. It's a huge deal to have actors who actually try to play the part of OPFOR and not some kid who is hiding behind a tree in a hole, waiting for you to walk by.

Matt is right, we can't actually drop a JDAM on you, but we can certainly simulate it with sound effects and give you the tools to figure out where you want your airstrike to go with a grid on a map or a laser designator. Airsoft can be much more realistic, and still be fun in the process, but most airsofters just want to shoot some people. That's totally okay. Nothing wrong with that. BSP has, however, always catered to the small percentage that gets off on realism though.

It's not going to be a $200 or even $165, I can guarantee that. And of course this will not be a top tier event, because it's the first one.

And how many LC events have you been to to state that it is "a LiPo ready fad?" Maybe you could say that of R66. We just had an ex-BOE (Utah) member move to the PDX area and came to LOW IV with us (SOTA) and shared his experiences they had at LC 8, 9, and 10 and said it was off the hook (which I am sure you would agree with without even going to it). I wouldn't judge all LC events by my one R66 event, even the lower level events, especially if I didn't finish the whole day (which I did).
