airsoftwarrior147 Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Two sites I've played at have had both vandalism and theft, first sight had the safe zone set on fire then the second sight had parts of their puma go missing every week when they came down to play
kriegar Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Slightly off topic but there used to be a Post Apoc larp system that used airsoft guns for combat called N.E.X.U.S, their site got broken into and burnt to the ground it killed the whole game as even after insurrance they couldn't afford to re-start.
CES_williamson Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 some homeless man once stole a moldy broken old tent from finmere, does that count?
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted September 6, 2015 Supporters Posted September 6, 2015 During a day's play at Skirmish Mansfield some arse dug up a piece of camo net which had been partly trodden into the dirt and insisted that it was now his. I tried my best to make him understand the concept of "not yours; not your land: thieving bastard" but he wasn't having any of it. His brain just didn't seem able to compute that simply digging half of something out of the ground did not somehow convey ownership of said item - he's probably a frustrated metal detectorist. When the site isn't in use they have multiple motion sensors as well as fixed alarms, all of which text staff, and video surveillance, so problems have been few and far between. However their is another site a few miles away whose owners used to do business with Skirmish's people and are now disgruntled after they went off in a huff and subsequently died on their arse business-wise... they are believed to be behind the theft of signs on the main road away from the security zone. TBH, as others have said, by their very nature sites are easy targets, so the way forward is either to build fixtures out of non-flammable materials and/or use proper modern security, which is a shame for small time operators just starting up. There are enough things to worry about without the prospect of people deliberately fucking you over... Jedi_Master 1
Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 While I'm not 100% sure on vandalism,since BPA's not an airsoft exclusive site,we do have a problem with people dumping random stuff. Broken down/Written off cars,random crap. One time someone dumped a drum set and some perfectly fine couches for us to use which is nice. RabidNinja64 and Ian_Gere 2
Bencupra Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 I'd be getting everyone down there during the evening to ambush them when they come in. No respect these days.
