I am no longer part of the Marauders
« on: March 14, 2007, 11:36:18 AM »
With all of the developing discussions I find I am compelled to speak up on where I stand on the Marauders issue.

A few new airsoft players, all prior military, came into the Arizona airsoft scene a couple of years ago or so.  We wanted to have comradarie and a feeling of unity that you get from working with a team and the Marauders was born from that with three people.

Then came the Spice Boys.  Then they left.  Nuff said.

Then a little over a year ago, Marauders Airsoft became more enterprising.  While some of the original intent of having a close knit group of friends remained, the concept has outgrown the basic premise that the original three started with.

While I wish the best to anyone who strives to develop and improve airsoft as a sport, the direction of the present Marauders Airsoft and the new "Island" is far removed from the intent of the original Marauders.  

Accordingly, I will no longer be associated with the Marauders as it has become.

Sounds like you enjoyed the time you spent with em.  No harm in leaving an organization if it goes astray from what you're trying to get out of it.

Well at least you can say that up to this point you had good times and enjoyed things.  Good luck to you in whatever team you wind up landing in.

There ain't nothing wrong with intel people.  Unless of course you're an all-source analyst (96B).  Then you're just a loser.


I'm happy to see you make this decision.  I played a couple games with you and every single time I did, you always tried to place military discipline into the team.  I enjoyed that because you tried to help even if people seemed to not really listen.  You never lost your at them either.  I respected you for that.  Now I respect you even more.
