Oh man, a roadtrip there would be so awesome, plus you can go like 110 through Montana.

Yea, my dad went out west that way, he was doing about 180 though.

[Vigilante]

RTO, if you are serious, I just may take you up on this. I would seriously love to go to this. I am not kidding at all, when even I just saw that, and then Spetznaz... OOH yes. Plus, all that stuff, I think it would be a blast, I would be in, if you would be willing to go too. I could hook up my parents trailer to haul stuff in, and it would be a helluva drive. but, I would be willing to go, seriously, no joke, I hope you werent kidding, cuz I am shaking I want to go soo bad.

[Beasthunter33]

Holy ****!!! All those beautiful glorius buildings, Those long windy streets. The wonderful open fields. 375 acres of airsoft heaven. No offense Gary (I have yet to get to a game but am looking forward to it :D) but that is what we need around here. I only wonder if it might be too big....nah. But yeah I would definatly be willing to that. I would be willing to chip in gas money or food or something (unfortunatly I don't have a car). Maybe somebody up north who has alot of land could do something like this. I am very interested. :)

[Vigilante]

Well, see in order to build something of that magnitude would require lots of money, which most of us arent millionaires, excluding me, in the very near future, we shall see. But yea, alot of times they rent out places, and pool amounts of money together, and that is one huge game for the year.

[nemesis]

our guys are looking for a good game to hit up and possibly take a road trip i think this may be the game thanks rto

[tmoney]

thats airsoft heaven im down

[Vigilante]

Well, would you all want to carpool together or something, I really dont want to drive alone, especially that far. Unless we charter a plane to fly us.

[seppuku]

...Unless we charter a plane to fly us....or a short bus. :o

seriously though, it looks pretty kick ass....and they have a BBQ.

[Vigilante]

Hey, would you be interested in going, I am up for that, seriously. Just need to get my m134 by then, shorty of course.

[RTO]

The game isn't until spring.

[Vigilante]

I know, but still, if we can get enough people that would liek to go, we could all carpool or something, cuz frankly, I dont want to drive that far, and alone. I am scared of the dark.

[Beasthunter33]

We could rent out a Grey Hound or something. Then we could travel in style and comfort. :D

[nemesis]

grey hound lets get a taxi and all pile into one of them that wouldnt be style but it would be interesting

[Stelthturkey]

If your seriously thinking about going, im willing to! 100 seems alittle steep but i could probably scrounge it together here and there. For any of the other EMR guys, if you want to and can, LETS DO IT!

hey we could rent that short bus, or maybe a van, or yea a greyhound for all the WAA members who would want to go, that would be um, ah, InTeReStInG...

[Vigilante]

I am definately willing to go. Maybe we can hitch up or meet like halfway in the state and drive there, I can always take out my dad's phantom, its expensive, buthas alot of room, and a v12.

[SPANKY *AK-47*]

seriously, we should all chip in, and get a bus, drive down there, and have a helluva good time....not to mention owning people from another state is always fun!!........does anyone have connections as to get us a bus?? or whatever?

i would love to go, and the fact that it isnt till spring just makes it easier to prepare for....

[Vigilante]

Um, my dad knows the guy who owns a local bus company, he has about 200 buses or so. I dont know if they can take us that far thoguh.

[Beasthunter33]

Seeing as how it isn't till spring we could always walk. ;)

[Vigilante]

or I can ride on you like the donkey that you are?

[Ben]

or I can ride on you like the donkey that you are?



OHHHH SNAP!




And yeah I saw this before and it looks amazing. They have all these houses you can play in, I dont know how they pulled that off but it looks as good as Lion Claws or any other of those big games.

[Beasthunter33]

Don't you mean Ass. :D

[Vigilante]

Hell yes, but my mommy would slap me for saying that, or jon.

[PePe]

YES we should rent out a bus and go there, that would be so much fun, not to mention if we could get alot of people to go the bus rental will be hella cheap.

[RTO]

Not necessarily. CROSS COUNTRY trips arn't ecaxtly cheap on a salary, that of which most of us do not have. I just threw the idea out there to spark some curousity and see what people thought. So far theres a lot of support for it but honestly who would do this? Its going to cost you at least 300 to get out there (including entry fee), and then all the supplies you'll need, and what not.

[Vigilante]

Yes, but for such a kick ass time, why not? Unless there is a big game like that a few hundred miles closer lol.

[Raven218]

if we could get a bus i would b so game. but if you want somethign like this in Wis. all you would have to do is just find a huge farm w\ the owner willing to rent it out. just ideas but this would rule if it would b possible to do

[Vigilante]

Lol, we would need farm city.

[Beasthunter33]

maybe we could just pile into a van or if somebody did have conections a school bus or sumthin.

[RTO]

if we could get a bus i would b so game. but if you want somethign like this in Wis. all you would have to do is just find a huge farm w\ the owner willing to rent it out. just ideas but this would rule if it would b possible to do
No, finding a farmer w/ a huge field and a barn on it and having him rent it out would not work because there is a little think called liability.

[Beasthunter33]

so how hard is that? just have everybody that plays sign a waiver withholding the owner from any and all injuries/damages sustained while playing on their property. just my 2 cents.

[nemesis]

some of our guys are registered to play it already hehe

[RTO]

so how hard is that? just have everybody that plays sign a waiver withholding the owner from any and all injuries/damages sustained while playing on their property. just my 2 cents.
Its not that easy, thers a lot more than just that, that has to go into a "liability waiver."

Nemesis, so you guys are really going to go to the game?

[Beasthunter33]

yeah i guess it wouldn't be that easy. Nothing ever is... :cry:

[nemesis]

Nemesis, so you guys are really going to go to the game?


yes we are we have 3 guys for sure possibly more

we have 23 vehicles one that will carry all equipment one for people to ride in... right now the one that carries equipment is filled up the other only has 2 of a possible 5 that can ride in it

we are looking for a few dedicated people who can follow orders well to ride and go down with us

[RTO]

go "over" you mean? lol:]

[Beasthunter33]

you know its not really a down more like an over. funny because most other people i know say this. must be because were from wisconsin and are north of most states. :D

dammit RTO you snuck in their just before i could finish. ;)

[RTO]

I sneak in many places, some of which you cannot find me, and i wait until the last minute.. then i strike... Like past memories, blurred

[Beasthunter33]

like my window at night while im sleeping and then into my bed... :cry:

[RTO]

um.... lets close that statment with a no


i'm noticing that the thread isn't gaining a lot of reponses from some of the other members here on the boards, i'm just wondering if it becuase you think its not the best of ideas or just don't really care? not trying to call you out and get your opinions, but i'm just thinking a sweet WAA "trip" would be kind of cool if it would be possible

[Beasthunter33]

i think its an awesome idea, I couldn't drive and I don't have a car but if some guys were to go I would chip in for gas and food and stuff of course.

[The_Jackal]

Ok, It's time I step in and say what I have to say here. I would love to go and I have a perfect way to get down there. I work for a Car Rental place and I could get passenger vans for us at a very cheap rate. I think that would be better than a bus and cheaper than flying. So what do you think RTO.

I guess I'll pipe in.
Personally, out of state games can be great. New land, new people, etc.
For those of you who don't know where Oregon is, look at a map. Personally, I am not too keen on driving 2000 miles. It would take several days to make the drive. As most of us have jobs, taking a week off of work to attend a skirm would be difficult. Sure, I could fly out there, but that'd be a damned expensive airsoft trip, which I personally cannot afford.
There are also a lot of problems/ concerns you are not thinking of. Those of you under 18 would have more problems than you know driving across country. Getting a hotel room is one of the main ones. Also, what if you make it out to the skirm, but they have some issue with your waiver/ paper work. You just drove 2 days+ to not be able to skirm.
As for flying, transporting airsoft guns is about the same giant pain in the ass that transporting real steel is.
For those of you who want to try out a big out of state game, there are games much closer to WI. Try going out to MN or IL for a close to home game. there are other big "2 day" events held within a 6-8 hour drive too. Look around on the old web and you will find them.

But then again, I am one of those old timer's, at the ripe old age of 29, who likes to piss on your parades. So don't bother listening to me. Build up your hopes that you'll be able to rent a farmers field for a weekend and throw the most kick-ass skirm ever, even though you have no experience hosting a game. I'm sure you'll get 250+ people on your first go around.

[Viper]

Maple, thank you for gracing us with that fine dose of reality. Instead of Gandalf the White, we have Maple the Red. Long may you reign in the realm of truth. ;)

Why thank you Viper.

Here's an idea for those of you who haven't tried yet. Instead of going to an out of state game, head down to Dragon's Lair sometime. Not only would you get to play on a different field, you'd also get to meet Viper and DK (and those crazies that are on their team ;) )
Give it a try. You ain't seen sneaky until you walk into one of the Dragon's ambushes.... and trust me, it'll happen. (Damn you DK, damn you :) )

[Kenuchfleck]

Maple the Red, it's genious and I will forever call you that, thank you Viper! My hobbit name is Benjo Longfoot should you care..

Anyways,

I want to post one thing relevant to the topic at hand. RTO I'll let you guys borrow my copy of Lion Claws III if you promise to get it back to me and that should tide you over till Red Venom 2 (I'm going Russian this next time for shizzle!!) Exotic out of state Op's are the rage till it gets down to brass tac's and pennies. It's then that you find out the tac's are really sharp and the pennies very few...

[Dogboy]

Maple the Red, it's genious and I will forever call you that, thank you Viper! My hobbit name is Benjo Longfoot should you care.

No ****?! My Hobbit name was Victascious Fumblebound. One of my favorites! ;)

[Kenuchfleck]

Good God, we should start our own thread, Fumblehound it is then. But only us friends can call each other these sweet hobbit style names!

[Dogboy]

You can misspell it as long as you don't mispronounce it. ;)

[Maple]

Dogboy- I heard your name was: Lord Tickle M'bottom! :)

[Dogboy]

Damn it! Who keeps telling all these secrets??!!!! ;)

[Kenuchfleck]

I must have been thinking dog when I typed Fumblehound, it's kinda appropriate really, Dogboy=Fumblehound, but I will try to call you Fumblebound:)

[Vigilante]

aww, cant I get a nickname too... :cry:

[Dogboy]

I must have been thinking dog when I typed Fumblehound, it's kinda appropriate really, Dogboy=Fumblehound, but I will try to call you Fumblebound:)

Kenuch, you can call me whatever you want, just don't call me late for dinner. ;)

[Downslide]

got one word for y'all




DERAILED

[Dogboy]

This sucker was derailed long before we got to it, and thank God! Otherwise where would you get this kind of entertainment?! :D

[RTO]

uhh... the marshmellow factory? i dunno.. lol
i just put it up to see what ppl thought

I have no clue what you guys are talking about though, Do i wanna know?

[SuperGnome]

Hi guys,

Just a lurker at this point, but as far as driving...

It's not that bad really. It should take under 40 hours if you rotate shifts. I've done it a few times (out and back) with some friends, and if you rotate at least three guys (drive, sleep, shotgun, repeat) everytime you fill up or four hours, after a the first 12 hours it's a piece of cake. You won't be all worn out when you get there. It's best if you have a good space to sleep in each vehicle so you don't have sit up and try to catch your Z's otherwise you WILL get fatigued.

And as it's been said, it's not cheap no matter what. A couple days of work either side of the weekend, gas, food, supplies, entry fee... You can cut out a lot of cash by packing tons of sandwiches and stuff for the way out, and stopping at a grocery on the way back to do the same.

Sounds like a biatch to cram all that driving in, but it ends up being a blast if you're in good company! Heck, you might just want to keep driving once you get into the routine.

[Vigilante]

Or you can just buy a two way ticket for like 150 bucks. Coach of course, only first class for me though.

[RTO]

and have to worry about your gun clearing inspections and everything? um.. yeah.. anyway, its kinda beaten to death so bye bye for now
