I invited a friend to get into Airsoft and he took to it very well. The lessons I learned when I brought a friend to the hobby.
- Water pack. Seeing how often people get affected by heat exhaustion in this weather it was one of the key safety needs.
- Knee and elbow pads. I was able to lend him my extra BDU and OD cargo pants but it seems the pads were almost equally important. I have a female friend who is about 5ft and I don’t know how to help her with that problem since these paddings are too over sized for her.
- Load Bearing Gear. An extra Y or H suspenders are always handy. I’ve got 4 pouches and no where to put on my friend. On his belt he will be struggling with his pants.
Anyway, our group has decided to play where Boypy plays. He claims he is not afraid to call foul and thats more than any other place we’ve gone. Most importantly its because he has lot of marshals relative to the players.
We will be playing in KM18 sat mornings as early as 8am. P150.
Strangely, its “Kill-joy” Head marshal is bad thing for the people who want to ruin the fun of everyone else. In our last game, June 12 it was the marshals calling the hits more often than the players. I could see some guys on my side take a few hits and not call out.
I would not mind paying 50% more than the average JUST to have more marshals around for the day. If they are good marshals with binocs and quick call, I don’t mind paying 200. There is a market for those kinds of games and those kind of people. There are people who don’t mind paying an additional P100 ($2) for good calls.
In hindsight. My brother runs a larp and they charge $45 a day per person. That is x10 an hourly rate, near equal to a basic daily pay of minium wage.
In the Philippines Minimum daily wage is P300 or $6. A resourceful area manager can charge P300 person but have a good sized ratio of marshals. Ideally 1 for every 3. 900 per 3 covers 500 for all the labor fees and 400 for land rent and all the other cost.
there was 60 of us in the last game. that would have been 8000 for a days cost of the land use
