AO-IL Meet Field option Poll

[joez]

I voted for pbshooters. Would rather be at CCP, though I like PBshooters better than Factory, even though it is harder to slide to your bunker.

Just got back from shooters today. Pretty fun night up until around 6ish till 10000 people showed up, then it just got chaotic.

wow....pbshooters stunk.
i'll get into details latet, but now, im off to sleep

[TDonovan]

When you got there it definitely stunk, that's why I left. Too many people and not enough room.

Sorry I couldn't buy any paint from you man, I had a grand total of $2 + change in my car.

ok, now that i've actually been to pbshooters i can actually say that it sucks. dirt was rock hard and when i was finished there was a lovely sharp pain in my knees...not sure if that was from sliding into bunkers but o well. Staging area was a dirty mess, field layout was horrible, No bunkering rule kinda stunk, and that dirt gets everywhere!

PB Factory

CLEAN facility
A LOT of room in staging area
3 fields
You can easily brush sand off your clothing unlikt dirt/mud
There won't be 30 people shoved in a 5man field since they have 3 fields

I'll have pictures of shooters up later (no field pictures since there was a 90% chance my camera was gonna get shot and because nate wanted to leave QUICKLY)

Snyper, when you have that many people on a dirt field it is obviously going to get dirty in there. At the beginning of the day it was completely clean. They don't have byop days that often and lots of kids had off school, so it was obviously going to be lots of people.

[SuiciDal Sn Y p ER]

ok assuming we got 15ish aoers going. that would be a lot for that field already. now add the regular # of players that go on weekends. (which i will estimate at 15). That's 30 players on one small field. Dirt gets everywhere, yes. but at factory pb sand gets everywhere too. but it's a lot easier to get sand off your clothing than dirt.

lighting wasn't really all that great there. I had tinted lenses at factory pb and i played fine but at shooters it was pretty dark.

Staging area was a mess, tables were bunched up together people were everywhere.
Field...7 kids behind one bunker... that's bad
50 was crammed with bunkers and there was only 3 bunkers in the back.

Positives....umm...there was a special paint price of $43 a case but the admission fee ($25) made up for the money they lost on paint.
On a normal day it would be $70 a case and $10 admission.

I dunno about you guys but i'm willing to pay an extra $10 to play at factory where there are 3 fields, CLEAN and HUGE staging area, great lighting, towels and spray bottles on every table to clean our gear, refs that know what they're doing, o and they offered to give me a case to distribute to the aoers that are low on cash and can't afford paint. and this is if we get 10 players to go.

If we got 20 aoers than we could get a ****load more discounts

FACTORY IT IS... (i want to play today )

[TDonovan]

Any good pics of factory's field? I don't really want to drive there, but if it's really worth it I may be willing to make the trip. I haven't played at anything but pbshooters for a while, and could use a change.

And factory has viewing WINDOWS?! That's actually pretty cool, I've been wondering when a field around here would do that. Now you can take decent pictures off the field and be able to watch the game without moving to see through the screen.

How much sand is there though. I HATE sand, and honestly don't care if I get dirty playing anyways. I keep a change of clothes in the car (as well as bags for muddy stuff), switch clothes in the parking lot, and drive home.

I've never played in sand, but it can't be too good for your barrel or gun when it works its way inside (not to mention i hate getting it in my mouth and shoes).

here are pic taken from factory http://www.jayloo.com/photo_gallery/...&pGROUP_ID=251

if you go all the way to the end those are from the smallest field. i will try to go up there some time in the next week and i can take pics of all the fields.

[MayAMonkeyBeYourPinata]

I vote factory

[TDonovan]

Yeah any shots from either end of the largest field would be good. It looks like a pretty nice place to play. The more I look at it the more I think it actually might be a better place for an AO meet.

check out www.factorypb.com
they have some pictures, and there might be one of the large field.
the top pic is the smallest field, and the bottom pic is the large field.

[SuiciDal Sn Y p ER]

well there is only one viewing window and it's kinda small (bout the size of..umm...half a windsheild
