Why?

[lilshoe55]

This has to be my favorite quote:

There are people that are trying to push 700-800 FPS guns who've never played against even a 550fps gun, or people that are trying to push off guns that can shoot 25+ rounds/second. So ask yourself this: Would I want to get shot 25+ times before I can call out? No. This isn't a video game, and we aren't out here to hurt one another. Your "targets" are not computer controlled AI, but living, breathing human beings who are out to have fun. There are those out there that would argue with this, saying that "you must be a wuss" if you don't like to play their rediculously overpowered high-speed airsoft guns, but to them I ask you simply this: I have a 12ga shotgun that only shoots around 800FPS, can I bring that to one of your games? Yeah, my real-steel 1911 only has a muzzle velocity of around 900FPS, can I bring that? What about an RS M4 carbine, that only has a ROF of around 18 Rounds/second, what about that, is that cool? (Loki)

:D BRAVO:)

A Beginners Guide to Airsoft

First off there are many different types of groups in Airsoft. You need to know these different types of groups, not because it is necessary, but because it is socially accepted.

For the Milsim Nazi:
Run around in a group of people with hellishly strict rules claiming that you are immitating military units and personel. Everyone must have the same gun, camo and tactical gear, and must travel in groups of no less than or more than 12, because hey, that's the way the real military works.

For the Paintsofter:
Run blindly at each other and shoot as much as you can whilst wearing bright colored jerseys, and carry as much ammo on you as you possibly can.

For the Noob:
Hang around people you have no clue about, or who they are. Dress up with as much crap on you and your gun as you can, and then claim that you are L337, and have played airsoft for greater than 2 years. Noobs typically travel in packs. You also have to post pictures in the gallery of your "custom" guns with nothing more than a BSA reddot on it.

For the Casual Airsofter:
Just throw some old BDUs on(they don't even have to be clean), and run around on the field and do everything half-assed, but have fun.

For the "extreme" Airsofter:
Again, wear as much crap as you can, and put as much crap on your gun as you can, only this time you run around by yourself yelling "IM EXTREME!!!" at the top of your lungs.

Large teams:
Kind of a cross between the Milsim and casual groups, large teams run around in packs of no less than 15 yelling "FOR THE HORDE!" wherever they go.

Here are the rules for hand-to-hand combat: Yet again you need to know these different rules, not because it is necessary, but because it’s always good to hold hands with friends.

Step 1. Drop your guns and gear.

Step 2. Scream AHHHHHHHHHH as your running towards your enemy.

Step 3. Jump as high as you can before hitting the victim.

Step 4. Land on top of him/her and drive them to the ground.

Step 5. If the victim does not surrender, repeat 4-5 times.

Here are the signs that you might become a Loki: YOU NEED TO KNOW THESE SIGNS, not because it is necessary, but because: well… if you see these signs you are too far gone for any medical miracle in the world and good luck to you in your lonely little existence.

Top 5 signs you might be Loki:

5. You get angry rants via PM monthly from someone that you piss off.
4. You spend more on airsoft crap than your first car cost.
3. You once sold off most of your RS collection to fund the growing airsoft collection, which you then sold off to buy one expensive airsoft gun, and more RS.
2. My three hobbies: Airsoft, video games, and women (annnnddd failing miserably most of the time).
1. You've been to more airsoft games than you have been on dates.

Now this disease every player gets at one time in his/her life, don’t be ashamed, we know it happens. Here are the signs of being a noob: You need to know these signs, not because it is necessary, but because it is always good to know when you are not wanted.

10. You post a thread asking about peoples opinions of a gun, then get pissed off that they think you're a noob, then you proceed to insult them due to that fact.

9. You ask the question "What is the best AEG for under $50(or $100)".

8. You scoff at people and call them "elitist" for buying real tactical gear and good guns, then wonder why your "affordable" gear falls apart.

7. You show up to airsoft games and try to grab others' gear or guns without asking them.

6. You call magazines "clips".

5. You ask how you can upgrade your Cyma/Cybergun AEG, then get angry when told that it can't be done.

4. You send off applications and requests to join every airsoft team in your area without ever having played.

3. You think Classic Army is the most original company to ever make AEGs.

2. You think Tokyo Marui is pronounced "To-kee-oh Mao-ri".

-and now, for the number one sign that you might be a noob......

1. You think Cybergun makes the best airsoft products available.

Well here is a simple description of the Airsoft Ohio Moderators: You need to know this: not because it is necessary, but because you want to know who will start WWIII.

Probably because of some vast Anti-Semetic Conspiracy hatched by the evil Administrators and their Evil Henchmen (Fascist Moderators). All of them wear black suits with large black top hats and have handlebar mustaches and when their diabolical plans go awry, they say "Curses, foiled again." Then they all swear their undying loyalty to Peter Frampton and plot on how they can take candy away from babies on their way to the next Republican Political Convention.

Here is a sample of things NOT to do with your Airsoft Gun: You need to know this: not because it is necessary, but because you want to keep people from running when they see you coming at them on the field.

1)Shoot your mother in her foot at point-blank.

2)Shoot your neighbors rotwieller.

3)Shoot said rotwieller 3 more times while it chases you down the street.

4)Try to twirl it(like the cowboys do in movies) inside your house with the safety off.

5)Practice your head-first dive shots in a heavily wooded area.

6)Shoot Playstation 2 when you die on Ghost Recon 2 for 46 time that night.

7)Shoot your sister.

8)Shoot sister while riding bicycle towards ramp over creek.

9)Shoot bee's nest in front yard.

10)Sit on it with safety off.

I hope this helps some of you new to this sport and to keep you off the rest of our backs, lol just kidding, but no seriously that was the real reason for this post and we all know it!

DO you think you are funny or are you trying too piss everyone off?

[DemonicUnicorn2]

This has been done before and if I am not mistaken you took quotes from other people, in said thread, and put them in your own thread with your comments in red. Not trying to be rude, but its pretty pointless.

lilshoe55,

On behalf of the AO community:

Yes, we like to laugh now and then. But this joke is old news. Please refrain from copying content from old posts and starting a new thread, it junks up the forum and creates more deletion work for the administrator.

EDIT: Ok, we're all posting responses simultaneously. Let's avoid piling on lilshoe, he's been warned....

[Shifty]

To boost my ego apparently, lol.

Like it needed a buffer.... :) Don't Ban me; just the messenger of everyone else's thoughts.

Dont stroke The Loki's ego too much it might make a mess

Didnt you post this last week as well?

[lilshoe55]

I tried but my comp never showed it as coming up so i reposted today, sorry if i double posted ;P

[Torque]

lilshoe55, if you find your threads getting deleted from the forum, PM Loki or another moderator and you will understand why...

[Mavrick]

who are you?


delete IMO

[Cut Throat]

You should also give some credit to who made some of these.

[bnagley]

IDK guys, some of those were pretty funny.

[Texx]

Yeah. I sent you a PM shortly after closing out and deleting your previous thread. I would assume that you didn't get the PM. So I will summarize.

We could do without a "Sweatin' to the Oldies" thread on here.

Closed and moving to House of Infamy.

Please don't post this again.

Thank you.

[lilshoe55]

Im just curious why my threads keep getting deleted, if i know this i can stop doing whatever im doing to get them deleted.

[strikers_blade]

- Are your thread relevant?
- Are you posting things that are already posted?
- Are you posting something valuable to the community?
- Did you back up your post with facts and not just hear say?

Posting just to post is not really tolerated these days.

[lilshoe55]

My post was a beginners guide to airsoft, it was funny and a lot like loki's posts, in fact i used some of his work for it, and i believe it was really funny.

[Evil Head]

in fact i used some of his work for it, and i believe it was really funny.

Point! Your thread was a re-hash of an existing thread. Do not dig up old threads and repost them. It's frowned upon more than necro posting. Now, move along.

Thread closed

lilshoe;

Here is the answer to your question right here.

Thank you.

[Agent Spencer]

I think you're threads are getting deleted because you're Necroplaging...

Yes, a new term coined!

You've managed to bring up old material not needed (Necro Posting)

Then, steal the old material and claim it as your own in a new pointless post (Plagurizing).

It's the forum equivalent to someone digging up Lincoln, taking the top hat and beard, then giving the Gettysburg Address in Outer Space. You think it's original, but it's just plain stupid.
