How many times you've played airsoft at a hosted event in the last 6 months. this dosn't include shooting targets, or having a buddy over to your house and shooting him while watchin black hawk down.

mthead · February 22nd, 2006, 16:29

I represent JOC out of calgary, and we're seeing a increase in the disease known as chairsofteritus, and would like to see if it is spreading

Greykin · February 22nd, 2006, 16:30

I try to get out to a game about once a month, if something big comes up, maybe more.

Avenging Angel · February 22nd, 2006, 16:32

I ussually get out 4 times a month. I don't tend to play with the mainstream clubs in Calgary though.

666 · February 22nd, 2006, 16:34

Trying to get out at least once a week. I'd say around 20 games in the last 6 months.

Kid · February 22nd, 2006, 16:36

EDITED the top part off. Thought it said month, bottom part stays.

Anyway... in my personal opinion, if someone goes to less than one game a month, unless they have a real good reason, they're a chairsofter.

Though, there are some places that only have one every month or two... miss that and you better have a damn good reason!

That's my chairsofting opinion.

Also, you should add a zero category, for chairsofters and once a years.

Definitely a chairsofter, me. Everything's too god-damn far away from North Van, except the local field. And nothing's really "hosted" here, just skirmishes.

And they're usually at night. Some love it, but it got old for me fast.
I don't even own any skirmishable guns any more...

I fully recognize that I represent only a tiny percentage of airsofters though.
I'm holding out until my schedule gets better (and my cash-flow).

It's probably just a phase - the "chairsofting" epidemic. It'll probably cycle, and more events will pop up, and people will get tired of not playing...

BloodSport · February 22nd, 2006, 17:06

okay read the poll and thought it meant events like Milsims, not just game days....

Man Solo · February 22nd, 2006, 17:25

wow.
So many chairsofters.

BloodSport · February 22nd, 2006, 17:31

yeah I voted in the wrong spot due to thinking it was milsim events, not regular game days.... others probably did the same.

Whozat · February 22nd, 2006, 17:36

Our club (BCAC) holds a game every two weeks, I usualy try to get to every one of them.

Yeoman · February 22nd, 2006, 18:11

me? I can't lie, I chairsoft alot. I played what? five times last year?
lame excuse; it's just so hard to when your cloest field is two hours away, and you're using 3/4 of a tank there and back at least and doing that by yourself.
I really hope to change that this year.
heck I've already attempted to show up to one game this year at the foxden, hopefully there'll be more attempts soon, maybe even an InCountry game, heh that would be something lol.
