As it looks right now I will be attending this one. Hopefully i can get some BB darts made in time.

Count me in on this one. Hope we get a good turn out.

Sweet Buff! Hopefully we can some good footage without having to loser a player.
I'm starting to get all my stuff together, can't green flag...but I will keep looking.

Coop I will be bringing my balls and buckets for carpe and my set of flags for CTF.
Is anyone bringing some flagging tape to distinguish teams?

Just got the go ahead, so my girl friend and I will be down for this war.

Count me as a maybe. I may have to work that day.

Whetstone works for me we should have a big enough area for a lot more people. I was thinking the 15th is that OK with everyone?

Trades and sales will be at the before the war, during the hour lunch, and after the war. Please do not waste time by doing trades in between rounds.

Also there are going to be a few stock gun only rounds so everyone should bring at least one stock/AR removed blaster and a good hand full of stock darts. If the gun you want to use fires missiles than you will be using missiles for the round.

I'm a definite.

So you ended up throwing the match to play nerf huh?

Time: Show up at 9:30 start at 10:00AM, lunch break at 12:00-1:00, and we end we are tired.

Anyone under the age of 13 will not be permitted to play without their parent or legal guardian present on the playing field during the entire event.
~NO HOMEMADE AIR GUNS! NO EXCEPTIONS!

Won't be able to make this one. Playing for a wedding with an open bar. You gotta have priorities man.

I completely understand...open bar takes priority over all, hope you can make it out to the next one.

Count me as a maybe+1-2? for this one

You want to get rid of one of your modified B and A's?

As much as I don't want to I may let one or two go if the price is right.

Nope didn't quit just had to work all Nerf weekends.....
Update me to a definite +1-2??
I also need to shrink my collection so I'll have plenty of things for sale and real cheap.

Also will be playing in the rain...probably want to bring extra clothes just in case.
See ya all tomorrow!

I use a rscb BnA for pretty much the an entire war, I normally only switch it out when someone lets me use a cool looking project that they have worked on.

Yeah, guess who showed up at 9:45 am today? Me. I didn't catch the part edited in where the practice war started at 12, but I was hoping to show up for the morning, as I have work in the afternoon. Anyways, my point is if the host of the war could give a little more heads up, maybe a pm or two, that could make things a lot clearer. I hope you guys have fun, but I'll be there the 8th.

I thought it was pretty clear that it started at 12:00. But I'm here waiting and no one is here, so poo on this. I'll wait till 12:30, but then I'm going home.

Yeah Coop aren't you glad you waited, that was alot of fun even though it was just the 3 of us.
You should post that picture of my neck, that was great shot, and it still hurts but I am pretty much ok accept for a lump in my throat.

Match Types have been added to War info if you have suggestions please let me hear them.

side note:
For those of you coming on the 1st remember since this is a "Practice War" there will be no gun restrictions, just bring eye protection and band-aides(lol). Even though there is no restrictions still dont be a dick and bring something that will take limbs off...if need be you will be your guns first target of the day!

rain or not, the playground wasn't exactly ideal, as the games ended up as 'camp camp camp, lob 392817401892743 darts, camp camp camp'

What gun did you have? I don't recognize your name from the war.

I saw quite a few people flanking and Lynx was like under the gym half the time I saw him, haha. Maybe it was just you who was camping? I was chilling in the back most of the time, but I wouldn't say I was "camping".

I still vote for the same location. Maybe play a few more rounds in the woods, but I enjoyed the playground a lot.

I'm a strong maybe. I just need to double check one event to see if it's on that day.

I believe he was one of those camping out in the respawn area but , thaygor could bring some of his bunkers(if he wants), i plan on building at least one for this event and that will provide some more cover and more obstacles.

Well i guess since we will have more people coming on the 8th i will push this back a week to the 8th. But if some of you want to come out on the 1st too i am all down for that...in fact that would be awesome to have 2 weekends in a row that there would be a war.

So this means you're going to use your singled Titan? Gun restrictions aren't put in place for fairness most of the time, it's for safety. It doesn't matter that this is a practice round, no one wants to get shot with a singled Titan... it hurts.

No i won't be using my singled Titan (i have made a double barrel extension and it is soon to be a quad barrel) but if you wanna bring a gun that you never get to use because of the restriction than i won't have a problem with it as long as you don't mind getting shot by a gun of equal or greater strength. Its up to you guys on whether we do a round of no restrictions on the 1st. Just make sure you have eye protection and no eye glasses are not eye protection.

Well guys i am glad to see that you are down for this, hopefully this time it won't rain.

while having it at the same place as last time would be fine, i do think we should try out other locations in the area, i.e. places with a better playground or whatever. heck, even a more wooded area would be nice.

I thought that too, but than i thought maybe we should give it another chance since it rained the whole time we were there last weekend.

That's a lot of darts... I think that was one round of darts for Coop though. Shit never stopped coming from his PAS.

Guys, as I posted above, August 1st doesn't work for my potential 4 peeps (including me). I would be the only one with a possibility to come to August 1st so...

How does August 8th work for you guys? The same or better?

Either date is fine with me but it is up to you guys i will update this if needed.

Thanks to all who showed up for this one, it was a blast.
Let me know what you thought...i know i need some improvement on hosting, but this was my first time.

What gun did you have? I don't recognize your name from the war.

i was the fat guy with the painted big bad bow. that playground is only good for the team going towards the school. the team that starts closer to the school has such a disadvantage with terrain.

Both ends are equal, you can get good positions on both sides, as long as your not being a dick and standing in the respawn area. Lynx even used the slide on the side by the school to dodge on coming shots.

I am glad that you guys are going to make it out for my first attempt at hosting a War.
I will be bringing a Stock LSFG, a Stock Transformers Optimus Prime arm blaster (no darts), an a Stock Tek10 to sell (and i will be taking offers on my xbow).

Wow Lynx that is a complete recap of the day...
Here is mine although not that long.
+Great turn out (20 people)
-Lynx complaining that a respawn point is to difficult to understand
+Came with 400darts left with about 250
-People walking away from games in the middle of a round,1 round of DTC is defend and attack not defend and take a 20min break.
+CTF was awesome although it took more than a hour for a single round
-Lynx thinking that he was in control of the war and being a little impatient
+Having a good laugh or 2 at other peoples expense
-Coop shooting me in the tooth (at least it wasn't the neck this time)
+Not getting shot in the eye
-Matching bruises on my shoulders from Joe

+The nap when I got home
-How sore I was when I woke up

***Hippo you left your DTC bucket and i picked it up.***

Alright guys I am going to need a head count of who all is going to be there on Saturday.

Forecast for Saturday is sunny in the mid 80s so make sure you have some water and dress for the weather i will update this post if i see the weather is changing.

I'll actually be on time to both wars, woot! I have a new Longshot that should outgun my PAS... muhahaha

I've never played humans vs. zombies but read somewhere that stock darts are used for the sake of point blank shots at zombies. Are we doing that or are stefans fine in every round?

So can i use your PAS than since you wont need it.

Yeah i am not quite sure how we may play HvZ or if we even will at this point its kinda hard to get a good rule set for it.

Time: Show up at 9:30 start at 10:00AM, lunch break at 12:00-1:00, and we end at tired.

Date: August 8th, 2009



Practice War: August 1st, 2009 meet at school at noon (no gun restriction)


Location: Colerain Elementary (and Dominion)

Address: 499 E Weisheimer Rd. Columbus, OH 43214

RULES: Nerf War Etiquette! Don't be a douchebag. Any person that does not follow proper etiquette shall be asked to leave. If the strength of the weapon is considered to be excessive and you say it isn't, be prepared to be shot with your own weapon on your bare skin at (mostly) full draw/pumps at point blank. Bring plenty of stuff to use and a few loaners since it's fun to be shot with your own weapons/use others. It'll be hot: Bring water. Good news, a good amount (40+%) of the play area is covered by shade so we'll move to cooler spots as it gets hotter or whatever.

Location notes: There is a Panera/Chipotle at High Street/E Dominion Blvd for food. Also, there is a Jersey Mikes a few blocks south on High St. and a Bob Evan's/Taco Bell/Qdoba Grill/SUBWAY about 2-4 minutes away to the north of High Street. If the location is taken/hated we can always go to Whetstone Park or the High School. An after war meeting at Chipotle could be nice... It might be less lonely this time

Play notes: We did this once, but we were unable to do a few things. There is still a lot of play time left in this place. We'll have plenty of fun, but, it IS a park, we might have to move around, but there are 3 good play areas.

Match Types:
~Team vs. Team Deathmatch
--3:15 (single pistol, double pistol, primary)
--4:20 (double pistol, primary)
~Capture The Flag(short, mid, long ranges)
~Assault, Double Assault (pistols, primary)
~Humans vs Zombies
~V.I.P
~Defend the Core(only if we have the set up)

Thanks Lynx for all the info

Is anyone bringing flagging tape, so we can mark teams?

This is probably a stupid question, but are SNAP variants allowed? There was no mention of them in the OP, and from the war footage I've seen in the past I didn't notice anyone using them. I'm building some SNAPs as loaners right now and figured they were okay because of their wide acceptance.

Do you need mobstacles? I was thinking about building some for our local wars anyways.

Also, Dave and I are bringing two guests (total).

SNAPS are normally allowed, unless coop decides to be a Nerf Nazi.
Mobstacles are always welcome, the more cover the better.

Count me as a maybe...but most. likely you can count me in and maybe a couple of my friends

Just confirming that I will be in attendance for this one with a possible 2-3 guests.
I will also be bringing tons of stuff for trade and sale.

Seeing how it is only a couple days until the war I say keep the rules as they are, than for the next war we can change to allow heavier weights.

I want to be taskmaster

Haha, only you would ask that...

Is it a huge problem just to show up and suggest game types? All the stuff we did last time was fun: team pistols, team primaries, free for all pistols, HvZ, capture the flag, DTC

I will bring my CTF flags and Hipponater's DTC bucket since i still have that. I will also have some guns up for sale/trade.

Well, its easier to know what people want to do. Its easier to say this in thread: "I want to do 2 bucket DtC, CtF, Team Elim/DM and zombie 3some (all with/without pistols)." Than it is to argue/waste time.

Plus, I present pictures. Scroll down to see them. The first pic of the tower is the playground. Its not that big, but its great for Assault and will probably be taken thanks to kiddies. However, the main area (2-8ish) is long enough for us not to have any problems, especially since we will get there early (9 ish).

So, yeah. The place is fun and it will be good. My 1st gen/Rev/TBO are all ready (and I have a turreted 2k for a guest).


I will have a guest that will need one loaner primary. As long as its decent, my guy will like it...

Nice area looks like we will have a lot of open space to cover. About how crowded does this park get though cause that will decide alot of the games.

**Current guns up for Sale/trade: Raider w/35 drum clip, RF20, LSFG, (this post will be updated with my sales/trades for this war, contact me if interested)

I am a definite for this one and maybe +1-2.
