Looking for players in TC, Kalkaska & Surroundings

[deputy865]

I remember talking to a group that played out in Kalkaska but I can't seem to remember who they were or who I was talking to.

Can someone point me in the direction of them? I would like to start playing or maybe attend or help set up some smaller scrimmages? I haven't played since October! Looking to possibly be recruited by an active team.

Hey deputy, great to see you on here! I'm who you were talking to and I act as a representative for team Doom. Our team thread is here michnaa.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=kalkaska if you want to read more about us; basically were just a small recreational team of 8+ members who play weekly in the summer. We have guys from Kalkaska, Rapid City, Bear Lake, and South Boardman.

If you ever need to contact us you can call or email me, PM me or IceBreaker on here, or PM me on MiA. Doom uses this site to post all of the news about what games were hosting and turnouts for each game michnaa.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=kalkaska&action=display&thread=20&page=2. I check my PM's daily.

If you want to post stuff her on MichNAA then that'd be awesome; but as you can see it's basically just me and two other members of team Doom that even bother to use this site. Gimpalong and Ogre are on here but they must realize its kinda a lost cause too because I haven't seen them here in a long time. I'm not even sure if I want to promote this site anymore, but team Doom is going to keep using it so I'll probably pass out some filers when the TCP games start in May.

That C96 is very awesome by the way!

Hello, I've been looking for something like this for a while now, and finally came across this site. I'm sorry, because this might be considered a necro post but I'm gonna get this out there anyway. I am one in a group of about 15 guys who play in the summer, last summer was slower about 8 people per game. We play anywhere from 1-3 games a week and have our own forum. I have been reaching out to every group of people possible who plays arisoft in TC to try and get something of a large scale together. We have talked to TC paitball, and at one time there was a game scheduled at the TC paintball field. My goal here is to bring as many of us as possible together into a TC community of Airsofters. There are many groups, but the problem seems to be that there is no communication between them so no one knows the others exists. By my calculation so far I have contacted enough groups to get about 50 people together. If enough of us get together then a business might be created specifically for airsoft and a field as well. Our forum is theloadout.webs.com/
I would love to hear back from you, and hopefully create something new and huge in regard to airsoft in TC,

Oh and we are all above 18 as far as I know right now, my group specifically is all over 20 each with aeg or gas, and one has the fusion engine in one of his guns, we also built out own field

Hey airtech, don't worry about necro posting, there are no rules against it here.

More than happy to have you aboard! Your in luck too, this forum was designed for the exact thing your talking about. The original admins appear to have moved on but I've taken over we're they left off, attempting to offer a non-bias place for airsofters in our region to contact each-other. There are currently several groups of people that i'm in contact with in the Northwestern area; but there are many more (as you pointed out) that are simply not in contact with the rest of the community. Several of us have also talked to the owner of TCP and he has actually hosted several games in the past for teams that lived west of TC (who have since died out); he is however, talking about hosting weekly games this year and basically starting his own community of airsofters.

While I like your enthusiasm about starting a field I will be honest and say I do not think it's a good idea. Area51 and TCP already have fields in the area willing to cater to airsofters, even area51 and TCP are having a difficult time staying afloat (thus why TCP has expanded to cater to so many different hobbies), and many teams up here have their own private fields and won't be interested in paying to play when they can do it for free. I certainly wish you luck though, and would love to hear about anything that happens with this.

Is it ok if I create a board on here for your team "The Loadout"? Even if you don't use it, it gives you another place to advertise the games you host and help everyone that visits this site know you exist. I'll be joining your forum after I post this message; I hope you might also mention this forum to other teams you know so we can help get everyone in contact. I'd love to talk to you further but i'll PM you about that. I'd also highly recommend you join MiA if your not already a member.

Best of luck to your team, and hope to see you guys around in the future!

Thank you for the quick response. Yes, I would love to have a board on here for the Loadout, and yeah I will be mentioning this forum to as many as I can. And yeah I am already a member of MIA, that is actually how I found this forum. I have heard that TCP might be doing a few games, but wasn't sure, but either way I am just trying to reach out to as many people as possible to bring them together. Hopefully with enough people TCP could expand in the Arisoft region. The bigger the community, the better. I think the creator of forum hasn't been on in a while being that we dont play in the winter, but he will soon. You and anyone else is welcome to come and play with us. We also have our own field, but we are looking to get more people together for some bigger games, and our field wont support to much of an influx. If you interested in directions to the field, PM Spamzig or Jmanfoster, since its at a friends house, we dont like to just give it out. Would love to hear from you, any info, more people would be great
