Name's Kyle and I was one of the first 6-10 members of AA back when it was first forming. Only a few guys here have played with AA longer than I have, though many have played MORE than I have, if you get my meaning. I'm one of those "old guys who got married and flaked out on the game by choosing family over the hobby" I guess! I left for a little more than a year to try out some other things and I'm back now.
My first big game was Operation Savage Garden 3 in Nevada almost five years ago, and since then I've recruited for AA, helped form many of the rules and regs along with the Admin and several other "old guys" here, attended several large away games and generally tried to push airsoft forward. I'm coming back to the game now and look forward to meeting you all, both old and new faces. Not to be confused with old and new feces, which is less enjoyably met. Spelling matters around here...
As a note to the newer players, AAs very first away game was Savage Garden 3 and there were 6 Arizona players there to represent the state. Compare that to the massive numbers you posted for LC4 and you'll have a good idea how far AA has come. As someone recently stated, AA has become synonymous with airsoft in Arizona. I am proud of that and hope to see it continue.
Sorry for the book, but hey...that's what I do.
