#173746 Last Minute Nj Nerf War
Posted by DX-Robert on 30 August 2008 - 05:17 PM in Nerf Wars
I didn't say i wasn't coming but it would be easier for me to get a ride. Putting myself through college doesn't really allow me the 40 bucks its gonna cost to drive all the way there. That sir is a months worth of beer.
You serious? I would hop on a train at fucking 4 in the morning to make it down to South Jersey for this, but Metro-North isn't hardcore enough to get me out of New London in time. With 5 station transfers and 3 line changes, it would be start time before I'd have even crossed the Hudson.
A quality war is worth more than $40. And that's in no way a month's worth of beer, that doesn't even last a weekend.
I can't make it, so I hope everyone who can has a great time [and actually shows up].
#353119 [CT] NENO 15 May 1st
Posted by DX-Robert on 28 April 2016 - 12:08 PM in Nerf Wars
NENO is this Sunday! There is a chance of rain, so pack a jacket.
Like last time, I will be bringing a bunch of things I don't want. The better ones will go into the raffle, the rest anyone can just take. Whatever is left will go straight into the trash.

For the raffle, we typically put in a $10-20 item (or combo of items, or Nerf blaster book, or Nerfstrong wristband, or big box of junk, or...Jaxon's left glove...). Each person gets a number and numbers are drawn randomly, you pick in the order that the numbers come up.
#113139 It's Clean-up Time!
Posted by DX-Robert on 26 June 2007 - 12:25 PM in News
The majority of members on most forums do not post, they browse and absorb knowledge. Some may browse for an entire year and then return to post. Depends on the person and how comfortable they are to posting. Some of the most intelligent online members I know did not post their first day, or even first month. There was this one kid who made an account, forgot about it, came back the following year, and now has been a regular contributer for the past 2. If you prune members, it actually turns people away from registering, and definitely from coming back. You could have a guy ready to make stunning contributions, but when he comes back, he finds that this account has been deleted. He will be lost from that site.
After watching the effects of pruning, I've found that it shouldn't be done unless a site needs to reduce its server load and conserve space. However, that is rarely a problem. And of course, these are observations, not suggestions or opinions, both of which tend to get people in trouble. Elsewhere, I am well known for only opening my mouth when backed by real experience.
#95045 I Have A Nerf Gun That Shoots Almost 400'
Posted by DX-Robert on 22 November 2006 - 11:29 PM in General Nerf
I'm surprised that this topic has warranted flaming. It's among the most pointless use of flaming I've ever seen. We can never know the absolute truth about whether the gun cleared the mark or not, so why do you even bother to try and force one decision over another? Those who believe the proof do have the right to try and persuade. Those who don't have the right to try and dissuade. However, once it wanders from intellectual argument to personal attack, the line is crossed. Flaming is never justified for anything. Those with no sense of restraint, those who always have to be right, and those who need to pump their egos are a primary reason why society is going down the crapper before it is even flushed. This topic is a perfect example of what not to say in what started out as a valid argument. It is shocking to see how difficult it can be for some people to remain civil and keep their posts somewhat formal. I've seen little children with better behavior.
Personally, I would have tested this with as many variables as possible removed. That means a closed, controlled environment with at least prosumer-level cameras, well marked intervals, and exact measurements of the firing angle. That would also mean that the trial would have to be run many times to siphon out the variables that could lead to a bias or holes in the proof. When conducted like a true experiment, the resulting proof could bear much more scientific weight.
Since there were so many variables possible, the range test that was conducted cannot be proved or disproved absolutely without doubt. You've got a hung jury here, and cannot fairly come to a decision that everyone must accept. Therefore this case should be tossed out of court. Please let it die on its own, as having a topic closed by an admin would demonstrate how this community cannot conduct itself in a mature manner. However, I do think that this topic needs to be physically closed and people need to move on.

#193212 Thanksgiving War At The Shore
Posted by DX-Robert on 01 December 2008 - 12:29 AM in Nerf Wars
- Pouring in the hits, all day long. Didn't matter whether the victim was moving, stationary, veteran, newbie, wide open, or through the brush, my maxshot meant business.
- Knifing into the enemy in the first round. I didn't expect it to be a turkey-shoot, but they wouldn't stop dying
- Shooting Vacc in the cheek to end the standoff on the road. "A sweet, yet terrible hit".
- Watching Ice Spartan fork over $190 for a crossbow. Damn that's like a semester's worth of college textbooks at the best online discounts possible.
- Finding some old darts that I fired over 3 years ago at an Apoc that wasn't much larger than this war!
- Defense - barely saving the flag. Had someone not called my name, I wouldn't have even noticed it getting away. Couldn't do anything about the second time though.
- The bridge battle. At times I was alone with 4 people shooting at me while dodging and trying not to slip cause the wood was wet. The fight across the bridge from within the bushes was also really intense. Split took a shot that missed my head by an inch or two.
- Getting a ride from Badger to jump-start a long trip home. Left at dusk, took 5 hours, made 4 transfers, rode 3 lines, pulled into 2 Penn stations, caught 1 express, and finally stepped on Westport platform at 10.
Edit - glad to hear that you two are alright.

By train we would be in Bay Head at 9:21 AM or by bus in Toms River at 10:05 AM. Obviously Toms River is closer, but the bus option may not be available, given the scheduling it looks like the train is more likely.

#260670 Battle For New York 4
Posted by DX-Robert on 04 January 2010 - 04:22 PM in Nerf Wars
Highlights -
- I finally got with the times and outfitted Max the Maximizer with an RSCB. It double shot sometimes, didn't shoot uphill well, and led me to run out of ammo much of the time, but overall was a major improvement.
- Good turnout and always nice to meet new people.
- Titankid didn't have a titan
- Defense during "Ride the Bull". I never really considered raiders to have a good war use until that.
- Revamped nitefinder doing some damage during that round.
- Outpost being great fun as usual. Started out boring as I was on defense, but it really got good when the tide turned and we lost several bases. I rushed up to take one back and like 5 of our people were then able to respawn. The flags were a great upgrade.
- Being the last survivor in Zombies. I rarely lose that gametype - you can't tag what you can't catch.
- Headshot on Skitzo. He was behind a large rock and there was nothing else to aim at.
- Actually finding my own darts sometimes
- Having "Max" blow up at the end of the FFA round. I was on a killing spree, 6 kills in less than 2 minutes, when I pulled the lever back and it went boom - the case completely cracked in half. I was worried about the cold making the plastic brittle, but it held up fine until then. When I fix Max, I probably will limit its use in future cold wars, falling back on an air gun instead.
