#210643 3rd Annual Mnsbw

Stock 1st gen Mav and a Vulcan chain.

Tators- "Goldfinger"



#213806 3rd Annual Mnsbw

Posted by atomatron on 20 February 2009 - 09:29 PM in Nerf Wars

....So, this is what happens when I can't get on for a couple of days...

A weekly war comes out and a mini war appears.

I might be able to go to the mini war but, I wont be able to go to the hamline war..



Is there any chance that this [mini war] could be rescheduled?

...or could there be other mini wars before Mnsbw?



#217852 3rd Annual Mnsbw

Posted by atomatron on 13 March 2009 - 03:28 PM in Nerf Wars

I agree that we should actually start at 10:00 instead of 10:30.....10:45.....11ish..
..also I'll have my camera (hopefully I'll think to get it out before the war ends).

Dr Rockzo: I'll have something you can use.

Don't forget your light sabers!!



#246339 Chano 3 - Now Recapping!

Posted by atomatron on 09 August 2009 - 08:49 PM in Nerf Wars

Count me as a maybe, I plan to attend if Beaver can make it and I can afford it.



#210508 3rd Annual Mnsbw

Posted by atomatron on 08 February 2009 - 03:50 PM in Nerf Wars

I'll have my camera too.

There could be a pretty extensive recap thread as a result of everybodys camera bringing...ness...

*solid confirmation of MN carpool

I think you mean road trip.



#316128 Cataclysm 3 - Chicagoland War

Posted by atomatron on 25 May 2012 - 10:36 AM in Nerf Wars

I know there was a portable tent type thing set up last year. If nothing else we can tip over the mobstacles.



#314464 Cataclysm 3 - Chicagoland War

Posted by atomatron on 17 April 2012 - 12:30 AM in Nerf Wars

ROAD TRIP


I plan on going. Ride or bus doesn't matter.



#236481 Spano 09' The Phantom Menace

Posted by atomatron on 15 June 2009 - 04:41 PM in Nerf Wars

Weather looks nice; 10% chance of precipitation, 84* and mostly sunny.

It might be a little humid though, it's supposed to rain Friday.



#236043 Spano 09' The Phantom Menace

Posted by atomatron on 13 June 2009 - 05:52 PM in Nerf Wars

...Not to shit on the parade or anything but, I visited the site today and it was packed.
There were people at all the picnic tables that I could see, the basketball court, the playground and the pagodas were fully occupied.
The only usable portion of the park would have been the corner next to the baseball diamond and the LARPers (south-east corner), it has lots of trees but nowhere to setup or chill.

Backup locations?

(I'm guessing that Highland would be the default but, There's a park barely a mile from there that would be good enough; Langford park [on google maps].)

I could get pics of the park if anybody asks.



#236640 Spano 09' The Phantom Menace

Posted by atomatron on 15 June 2009 - 11:24 PM in Nerf Wars

I would be good for an after war feast as long as there would be some vegetarian fare, I.E. NOT famous Dave's (the only things I can eat there are the muffins and their PB+J), so my vote goes to Mexican food.



#235901 Spano 09' The Phantom Menace

Posted by atomatron on 12 June 2009 - 07:52 PM in Nerf Wars

How are we going to do this defend the core thing? (If we decide to)

I'm thinking that someone should bring some big sheets of paper or saran wrap or something to cover the front of one of those plastic tub/container things, and duck tape (for holding it on).



#237277 Spano 09' The Phantom Menace

Posted by atomatron on 18 June 2009 - 09:13 PM in Nerf Wars

THIS WAS IS AT HIGHLAND PARK.

I didn't know you spoke engrish.

PS: Please remember to bring my Leatherman.



#234568 Spano 09' The Phantom Menace

Posted by atomatron on 05 June 2009 - 11:41 PM in Nerf Wars

I think a night war would be pretty cool (I've always wanted to try out the firefly for what it was meant for, however ridiculous that is).

I'm thinking that this would be a good situation for the use of stock darts and a black light (so we don't lose all of them), or some sort of glow in the dark stickers on the back of stefans.

Yeah, Highland would probably be the better place to do this sort of thing.



#232219 Spano 09' The Phantom Menace

Posted by atomatron on 24 May 2009 - 01:19 PM in Nerf Wars

I'm in.



#250625 September Mnno 09'

Posted by atomatron on 16 September 2009 - 05:36 PM in Nerf Wars

I'll be bringing the stock darts to pass off to you guys at the day war.

I don't know what I am going to be doing this weekend [haven't heard back from the place since the interview], so the night war is still a possibility...but I really don't know..

In other news I will be fielding my xbow, I expect it to preform much much better than it looks.. Which is pretty bad because I've only been able to sand about 2/3rds of it...



#249012 September Mnno 09'

Posted by atomatron on 29 August 2009 - 05:36 PM in Nerf Wars

^I'll be bringing the communal dart bucket, there are bound to be at least a dozen in there.

Tally another vote for Langford.

I will also elect myself to be the round-type initiator. Ryan will you be bringing your new core or will we have to settle with the old one that Julian has?



#249870 September Mnno 09'

Posted by atomatron on 07 September 2009 - 07:26 PM in Nerf Wars

I think that the name generator could be better used to give names to new games to play at wars.

A few that I liked and thought would somehow make good games.. If we make up some decent ones.

Day of the Hobo Project
Communist Robot of Love
Supreme Vampire Dash
Mega Platypus Polo
Go Dog Go Unleashed





That and I might have to leave early.



#250724 September Mnno 09'

For those coming from the south along Raymond ave, a Railroad bridge is being replaced. So if you are coming from that direction, take Highway 280 to Como st. to Langford park.



#251173 September Mnno 09'

Posted by atomatron on 21 September 2009 - 05:26 PM in Nerf Wars

^it counts as five simultaneous barrel taps.



Overall I preferred the outdoor war, somewhere between loosing 14 belt links for my Belt blaster and the not taking/calling hits thing I found it less fun, as much less fun running around with a raider can be..

OUTDOOR:
-xbow did well but I ended up using my LS more than anything else, it just has better ROF.
-We need to do a dart factory sometime soon, I never used my splitfire because fitting darts were hard to find.
-There was one funny incident during DTC when I was in front of the core and realized that the entire attacking team had formed a 1/3rd of a circle around me. I soon had to respawn.
-Chasing down Max and Generally running around all day.
-Powerball with fewer people should be done with pistols.
-Being on a roll for a few moments throughout the day.
-Forgetting to initiate rounds involving pistols and the VIP
-The 6-shot SSII, proved it's usefulness as a chasing down aid
-The weather was nice.


INDOOR:

#247801 September Mnno 09'

Posted by atomatron on 20 August 2009 - 11:07 AM in Nerf Wars

Since this is a month off I can say that I don't know of anything that would prevent my attendance.

So yeah, I'm in.



#250688 September Mnno 09'

Posted by atomatron on 17 September 2009 - 12:25 PM in Nerf Wars

As it turns out I didn't get the job, this is both good and bad (meaning I can go to both AND be poor).

I'll bring loaners, possibly including a 4BELT (if Target has any in stock).

Buzzbee Belt Blaster procured.



#258040 Late Fall Minnesota Nerf Outing

Posted by atomatron on 04 December 2009 - 11:48 PM in Nerf Wars

See you folks in 12 hours. The weather looks nice, it might get up to 21* tomorrow.



#257985 Late Fall Minnesota Nerf Outing

Posted by atomatron on 04 December 2009 - 12:03 PM in Nerf Wars

I'd like to do a ridiculous round, somebody bring some arrows.



#258415 Late Fall Minnesota Nerf Outing

Posted by atomatron on 08 December 2009 - 03:30 PM in Nerf Wars

That was a good war, each round was good in it's own way.

+Nothing broke
+Everybody loves my LS breech
+I took pictures this time
+A ridiculous round every now and again is a good thing.

+/-As I thought Flabearers is better suited to larger wars

-A little cold but I was prepared for worse

#257654 Late Fall Minnesota Nerf Outing

Posted by atomatron on 30 November 2009 - 09:25 PM in Nerf Wars

I'll have the communal bucket and I'm sure that there will be enough darts for us all, I'm pretty indifferent about location except that I can also walk to Langford.



#255456 Late Fall Minnesota Nerf Outing

Posted by atomatron on 05 November 2009 - 10:41 PM in Nerf Wars

I won't be going to the Hamline thing, sorry Koree.

Dec 5th works, Nov 14th/21st works... I don't care, I'll be ready to Nerf whenever this thing is happening.

Mod/dart party? Yes

#189457 Minnesnowta War

Posted by atomatron on 13 November 2008 - 12:23 PM in Nerf Wars

I'm in. Any of those dates work for me.


...and to the vets: bring it on!


oh yeah, I'll bring about 200 unclaimed darts from the last war. So if you need darts just ask.



#203792 Minnesnowta War

Posted by atomatron on 16 January 2009 - 12:34 PM in Nerf Wars

I have gone from a definite to a maybe.
I want to go but, my dad wants me to do my homework, and he would be the one giving me a ride so....
We'll see.

[edit]
Yeah, I'll be there

We get cookies right?



#252595 Official "show-off Your Crossbow" Thread

Name: A Work In Progress. For now, I like 'the atombow' also, I might call it that later, when it's finished.
Mods Done: 1/16th aluminum spring rest reinforcement, four screw posts replaced with 6/32 bolts, epoxy putty and 6/32 locking nuts, Brass strips bolted to the plunger rod, the plunger rod end is bolted on and held with epoxy putty, CPVC coupler'd with some deaspace added to ease use.
Integrations: none at the moment, probably an AT2K later on..
Comments: Formerly 'the chilibow' (post 43 of this thread). It hits ~90' which is enough. It might not be pretty but it holds it's own.



#220760 What Guns Do You Use?

Posted by atomatron on 30 March 2009 - 08:17 PM in General Nerf

My current setup:

Primary- CPVC'd BBB with spring addition
Secondary- CPVC couplered NF banded with spring addition
Alternate secondary- Green Light saber


The BBB/NF team did well until MNSBW when I found myself confronted with SM1500s. Their superior ROF and range have led me to rethink the BBB, said shortcomings will be addressed with my new primary.

Here's a pic of the Vortex Tornado.

It's not a pic of the whole thing but... It should be adequate until a better pic turns up.
