if i'm not mistaken there are two or three places in az to go if you are under age.. you should take this idea to them, that is their demographic of choice after all.

Carefull there James, you forget that it was at one of "those" games that you and Ed met me ;)

I'm watching this forum intently, namely because Airsoft NE is going through the same issues right now, too many kids, lots of older players are quitting and the kids get whinier and whinier.  Granted thats not all of them that play, we have two 14 year olds that I'd gladly let play in an Adult only game simply because they dont complain about equal treatment like the rest do.

One very interesting approach I had heard to this problem, was an airsoft community that allowed minors to begin play at the age of 16.. However, they were required to play/act as insurgents at all of the forums functions, the ones that showed potential were allowed to join some sort of "Elite" insurgent force that acted   with the normal insurgents, or as insurgent commanders, ect. When these guys got to age 18, they were allowed to "move up" and could play on the counter terrorist/us/whatever side, or to remain on the insurgents team. Some of the oldest guys there routinely played insurgent so as to help train the younger guys. Of course, the tossfucks or pretenders were all weeded out quickly, or stuck as tossfuck insurgents. The insurgents that formed teams and worked tactically survived longer, and did better, hence the true airsofters. I use/have used a similar system on a smaller scale in my own "airsoft" area, around Maricopa, and I found it to work quite well.

\"Friendly fire isn\'t\"
If a speeding pellet in a quiet woods hits a noob in the face, and he cries, does anyone care?
