Bear Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Guess I'll be the one to start this off. This years IMPACT Noob day has come and gone. I had a great time as usual.PROS:Weather turned out great this year. The rain earlier in the week worried me a bit, but those worries were unfounded Hit calling was a non issue this year. Honor on the field was high, and there weren't any hit calling issues that I saw.Game types were simple and easy to play. Juggernaught Kid: I loved this kid, don't know his name, but he put together his own armored kit and weapon with just spit and bubblegum (duct tape and zip ties really) But his ingenuity really spoke to me. I want that kid to play a lot more. CONS:Attendance was lower than previous years, so it wasn't as much of a target rich enviroment as usual. This could also be a bit of a PRO as it created a bit more intimate enviroment to play in. Previous years weather could have been the culprit.Personal CON: Had numerous issues with my SAW not wanting to run right. Pretty sure it's battery issues, maybe a motor issue, but it's still a pain. Quote of the day: At chronoJoker: Switch it to semi, It's the first clickKid: Are you sure? It's an AKJoker and every experienced player around him: ........

amazonwoman Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Thank-you Joker and Crimson for organizing another Noob Day! I had an awesome time on the field. Saw old faces, met new ones. Like Bear said everybody played with honor. This was my second Noob Day! Overall a great day to be playing airsoft!Pros:• Joker put a twist to this event.• The Noobs were extremely respectful. They followed the rules.• No hit calling issues whatsoever. • Our team communicated well with each other• We played till 5h30 pm• The briefing was thorough!Cons:Beside the fact that I did not bring enough water, I have no cons. Thank-you again Joker and Crimson for giving the community another opportunity to play airsoft. You added a new dimension to open play; which made the game even more interesting.

Joker Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I want to thank everyone who showed up to play. While we only had 40 players, those players were very honorable. I mean we had almost no hit calling issues at a Noob Day, that's saying something. Several of the players in attendance were new players or first timers. Pros: WeatherNew players and first timersMeet & Greets Thorough briefing Honorable players Focused on communication and safety Simple yet fun game types involving propsField was starting to green up Cons:We had a couple MED violations (players shooting players to close) I think I heard 1 complaint of no hit calling I think I let a couple of the rounds last two longI need to print out more blank waivers (I ran out) How to fix cons:Further explain MED and request switching to a sidearm when necessary Hit calling was mostly a non issue but between rounds remind everyone to call hitsShould have ended some of the rounds sooner and switched to different game play types, I had a lot more planned Remember to print more waivers for next time Again I can't thank everyone enough for coming out and allowing IMPACT to host this event for 10 consecutive years. We hope it's helpful and fun. Also food after was good and hit the spot. Special shoutout to the Muffin Men for lending me an AK and gear so I could quickly jump in a play that last round. Thanks to Crimson for all of your help as well as Rampage. ~Joker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacelectric Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 My son and I had a great time! Would like to thank Joker and Crimson for putting this on once again. Pros Had great weather, respectful players new and old. Games we're fun and joker and crimson where on top of safety and time management.

Crimson Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 First off I want to thank everyone who came out and enjoyed our 10th newb day. I had a great time meeting new players and old friends again. Turnout was lower then normal but the caliber of player was outstanding. If this was a taste of our future airsofters then indiana has a lot of good coming. So Pros Weather was PerfectPlayers where Top NotchNo hit calling ProblemsNo dramaEveryone seemed to have a good time Cons..Lower then normal turnout but quality over quantity wins out every time.Realizing how out of shape I have really gotten. All and all a great day of airsoft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amazonwoman Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Green Gaint, I am sorry your ankle is injured and that you weren't able to attend Noob Day. However this area is strictly reserved for AAR's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redline Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 It was my second time at Noob Day and it was a lot of fun. The weather was certainly a lot better than last year!I would have to echo all the positive statements about briefing, overall attitudes and hit calling, etc. Even though the turnout was relatively small, it was still a great event. Met some new people, tried out my new pistol, field-tested my sniper rifle (it still needs some work, but)... yeah, it was a good day. Thanks to Joker and IMPACT for putting this on and keeping airsoft positive, safe and fun in Indiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
