In game rules

[Will Lewin]

but anyway it sounds quite good because you have to make the decision should I drag my fallen comrade across a forest to the medic or should I just shoot him in the head and put him out of his misery

[charlieboy]

shoot him in the head or if he says lo.l you know what to do

[Will Lewin]

ok so if anyone finds an incapacitated charlie they should reach for the matches

[charlieboy]

hehehe dam right but i like the rules

[Chri$$]

hi i was talking to a guy on finmere airsoft and he said this

Some quick info that may help which I looked into when Coley setup GASS.

If your letting other people on private land to skirmish YOU MUST be over 18 and have insurance to host such events as Airsoft or Paintball.

The site runner needs to be 18 because that is the legal age at which Liability for incidents/accidents can be accepted.

Anyone under the age of 18 must of had an insurance proforma signed by a parent or guardian accepting that there minors are playing at there own risk and claims to insurance will noly occur when incidents occur outside of the boundaries of the site insurance.

Also the local authorities must be alerted to your activities to ensure that when reports of people in the woods shooting each other get reported to the police they are already aware.

My advice is to think long and hard about CFA's acitivites and then start over but by the book if you have a website you are effictly advertising you actions which aren't exactly legal.

As mentioned by the others I'm not trying to spoil your fun I'm just trying to give some friendly advice, so that the Law doesn't come up and bit you in the donkey.

That aside good luck to your team and your site in the future and I hope you make some success.

so what it think will be good for our next fight it for will to come up with some consent forms and forms to sign your life away incase of injury etc. to email around and then everyone to sign them and get a parent to sign them, then you eg. (will or brenda as it is her land) will not be held responsible for any injury etc.

another guy said this so will if you want to take any of this info into acount cos the guy on finmere airsoft said even though we are a private group on private land we can still get in trouble with the law etc.

it's still the common duty of care, if you walk in the park and tripped over some paving, you can sue the council for providing an unsafe area for the public. (commonly used or not, it's still public land)

i'm sure you've seen the TV adverts about how you can claim compensation. that is the law to make sure people DO have a common duty of care.

and because you're a private group, that doesnt mean you dont have to follow the rules as strictly. imagine this as another case, you're using bows and arrows target shooting (doesnt require a licence) in a private land, what happens if someone gets hurt? all it takes is someone moaning at their local solicitor's place and somebody's going to be rich quick.

and back to the airsoft point, not that i'm trying to ruin your team/fun or whatever. it's the fact that all it does is take some sort of media attention into this equation, and we may never get exempted again by the home office... we're lucky to get exemption because there's very little of what we can do to the home office's decisions. so bad media 'kids shooting each other in dis-used farm house, leaving 2 injured one believed to have suffered head injury'

does that sound bad? hey getting a bruise can say it's injured. getting a bruise on the cheek can be injury.

where Injury is damage or harm caused to the structure or function of the body caused by an outside agent or force, which may be physical or chemical. Injury may also refer to injured feelings or reputation rather than injuries to the body.

i seriously recommend you guys to have that place insured. and health and safety checked before the poo does hit the fan.

we all know the airsoft community is very fragile in the eyes of the law, they're already strangling us on the VCRbill it's only a matter of time before more restrictions come in and choke the sport. lets not help them do that.

apart from that, if there is a registered and H&S approved site that is also insured, i'm more than happy to play on the site.

[Will Lewin]

here is what we do: we need to create some kind of form that we sign that swears us all to secrecy so in the event of a death the victim gets burried in the forest and in the event of a non-serious injury no one can be told. in the event of a serious injury we execute the victim.

no one should get shot in the eye cause we wear goggles

we should take a different set of clothes so if someone falls from the bridge we all get changed and hide the guns before calling the emergency services/coroner

[Will Dendy]

Or failing that we could just re-build the side of the bridge like I keep saying...

Plus funnily enough there's nothing legal about disclaimers, i.e. if I went to a proper site, broke my leg, and then decided to sue, it wouldn't do them any good no matter how hard they waved the disclaimer at the judge in court as they are not recognised by law - it's more of a goodwill thing, i.e. "I promise to be a good sport if I break my neck" as opposed to "I hereby sign away my legal rights to sue you."

[Will Lewin]

I see

I think it could be possible to build some kind of hand rail or barister

[Will Dendy]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. (As opposed to getting out the mortar and dragging a few rocks up there to re-build the actual wall...)

And I think you mean banister? A barrister is a lawyer who represents people in court...

[Will Horton]

I've got an idea, how about everyone stops publically advertising on the internet that we shoot each other at a farm and don't have insurance? I really can't handle the stress these people give me. So yeah, that would be much appreciated. I honestly can't afford insurance, and disclaimers do nothing. If anybody tries to sue, I will personally murder them. Just joking. But not really.

[Will Lewin]

We are not above the boards on the insurance thing. Why not go completely illeagal and start some kind of assasination thing? Who sues the Mafia and does not die from suspicious circumstances?

Ok, so who wants to join the church farm organised crime team?

[Will Lewin]

I still think we should make a hand rail just for a safer environment.

[Chri$$]

the problem with the hand rail is that we may not build it strong enough and people pay lean on it wen it is not stong enough to hold much weight and break it knowing us we will just do a 5-10 min bodge job on it and it wont be tha strong and with it being weak and people lean on it it could be more dangerous than nothing at all as atleast at the moment no one goes that near to the hole

thats just me think wot us waddesdon people and the influence piers has on people actually doing work and just all getting distracted but dont be affended for all i no u oxford people may be good at making rails/ fence type things etc and may be able to build an amiazing strangth rail etc. etc. u get my jist . etc etc.

[Will Lewin]

we could get some of that flurecent crime scene tape so you can easily see it but still cant lean on it. This would also be useful if we ever have a night fight again because we will be able to see wher the gap is.

[EDIT] I found a gay american website that sells the tape...
