LOL!

Despite the little barf chunks mixed in it, it doesn't actually look too bad...

I like the green one for sure.

I say the tan one over the green, seeing that the green is so off to the site colors...

Yeah, but you actually have training for that kind of thing


No worries though, we can have both!

Any final changes?!

-Doug

can you add a picture of Gerren in there just for kicks?

THose look great Doug thanks.

I say stick with the one you have in your umm thingy, I like the multicam background... at least that's what I think I'm seeing

Completed up the batch, pm me if you want your tag in green, elsewise, it will be brown.








Dave, you mid if I go ahead and clean everything up and do the change over? Any last objections anyone?

-Doug

looks great. Do you want a hand with the change over?

No change here except I'd prefer the green myself but no worries if its brown lol!

edit: fixed up chairsofter. reset cache

I will just fool around tonight BUT I am not sure who are members in the respective communities. Do we have a master list of members?

-Doug

should be in the news section for ranks. Anyone over 5 pretty much.

Can you take the NIA member off of the chairsofter one...they really arn't members.

That is an example of a special rank. I will redo up visitor and new-forum members. Thanks for reminding me.

-Doug

figured you were on it

ba ha, that's awesome I love the new chair

Ewww Green is so ugly... reminds me of Cadpat.... eww haha. Looks great Doug. I'm far to lazy to change anything, so you have my go ahead. New colors?? The tan is a nice touch... but I could do with a change...

Bloody 'ell, 8 pages of members...

Well, I have it updated for everyone that I can, if you are missing, or need to be fix, please let me know. Dave, you are welcome to go clean up the mess I made, I went by game numbers and clubs but it is very incomplete and in-accurate probably...

NIA Quesnel (Players) so far would be:

Drache
Aedomon
Fleshgear

Quesnel Members who haven't played:

stev456

Drache, technically to be part of the NIA you guys all still need to meet the min. game requirements and purchase your badges... but thanks for the updated player list for Q-town

Drache forgot Shaggy for NIA-Quesnel.

As for minimum games and patches...isnt that part of the old rank system? If not, what is the point of a us being "NIA", if we are not considered members?

Also, whats with the tiny rank tag for me?

Aedomon you are partically right, it is part of our old system, but to be a member of the NIA you must meet the minimum requirements of 5 games, own your own AEG/spring Sniper... etc, and lastly buy a badge or two.

Yes is seems quite pointless of you guys being "NIA" but it forces you off the computer and to the games. Otherwise we get guys like Alpine or whatever his name is, spending around that he's part of the NIA and giving us a bad rap.

I know that example might be a bit harsh, but since we don't have a probationary period for new members this is one small step to beginning to screen and watch who we let in.

I hope you understand

So having been given the option to host a MilSim as NIA Quesnel (while NIA-Q "members" are not actually "members") means we are still classified as new players? If there are no Quesnel Members, then why do we have a section in the forums? Its not like we are all complete noobs, we just have not played NIA games. Drache only missed a single game in Kamloops while he lived there. I played for years with .177 instead of 6mm.

By the sounds of it, yes you do.

This issue will be resolved as of tomorrow (I have 1 hour of sleep right now, I am in the Edmonton airport, and when I get home I will want to sleep).

I strongly stand by the 5 game basis. The games do not have to be NIA games (as seen with Mackenzie and Moberly/Chetwynd) but they do have to be Airsoft games. Having played lots with pellet guns prior to airsoft, there are some significant differences in game structure and safety.

As in Drache's case, he has prior verifiable (ASC) airsoft experience and is qualified as a member. Mind you, I also support the idea of patches, especially for unification purposes. There are some members who have the games but do not have the patches, this issue will be resolved.

Further discussion of this issue will take place. As the worries have been posted, Airsoft is a sport that is on very shaky ground and has zero tolerance for slip-ups. To protect our image to the national community and to keep the respect of the local community, we must uphold certain guidelines.

Either which way, this new rank system is still in the testing phase and the kinks will be ironed out soon, please bare with the current mess.

What Daes said

We got rid of the ranks but we are still using the member system.

I would say we do have a probationary period, referring to the 5 game/own gear and gun/buy a patch system.

We have an NIA Quesnel section so that there can be a place for players in that area to meet up and for new folks to find like minded players. There is not one person in leadership there because we are waiting to see what happens down and how trustworthy, safe etc those players are.

I do not mean to sound negative, but that is assuming alot. The only differences between the .177 battles and the airsoft 6mm battles was the size of the BB, cost of gear and lack of fully automatic weapons. Proper protective gear was a must, minimum engagement distances had to be followed, fps caps were in effect, team structure and tactics were the same, and we had set objectives during sims. Hits had to be called, and could not be disputed. No blind shots were allowed. Yes, we had "speedball", but it was generally used only as a warm up, or if the turn-out was rather low.
