too bad for billy, yay for us. Calgary school closures!

[swatt13]

So calgary has closed two schools, how hard would it be to get approval to host a game in one of them?
Anybody in the calgary area know how to go about doing this, and willing to get it done?

A CQB airsoft game in a school?
Wicked awesome.

[[Lithium]]

Jst a gess, but probably requires going thorugh both city government and school bord.. that should be all thats needed.

I seriously do not ever want to see an airsoft game in a school.

that takes one wrong impression to make us all look like monsters.

I'd keep away from that totally.

[swatt13]

well anybody with exp. could shed some light? anybody IN the industry could maybe ask about how at their work?

[yanhchan]

I don't know much about there but if you rent out a school don't you need to have like X amount of janitors on staff at any given time?

[swatt13]

no offence but, having a game in a what used to be a school makes you look like a monster any more than running around pretending to kill people does penguine? (i still see your point, though it is a little far fetched)

Far fetched? All you need is footage of a group of people in military gear running around a school, for a "game"

the soccer moms and other people will invent their own stories.

If you cant see why this would be a problem. You shouldn't host ANY game ever.

I agree with this, unfortunately you have to look at the inherent location of most schools, in rural areas close to the students they service. This means that there will undoubtedly be houses and such around, where a lot of players would be in full view. There's a reason the games we play are at private locations which are far away from general population.

Somehow I doubt that it will be allowed unless these schools are on the outskirts of the city away from public eye. I can't imagine they would allow it if the schools are in a fairly populated area. I agree with Penguin and Kanyon too...Can you imagine how bad it would be for us if people who pass by the school just happen to glance in through a wondow and see people running around with guns?...guns in a school...The media would be on that in a second regardless of approval or not!

But hey, if there's absolutely no chance of shit hitting the fan, Let me know!!

thats a good point. i guess wed have to have a ready room like the locker rooms, where you dress in the school, and undress before you leave. keep it indoors and keep the blinds drawn. have the doors locked so no one can enter. mark all doors that lead to an exit so no one exits accidentally.

Oh man, I've always wanted to have an airsoft game in my school. It's smack in the middle of the city though and still in use so obviously we can't. Even so, it would be awesome.

[swatt13]

ya, but it will be closed at the end of this semester so like june 20th, then we could go in anytime after, well depending on what theyre plans for the school are.
