#1115 Teamwork:

Posted by Switchblade on 05 February 2003 - 04:28 PM in General Nerf

Well, I'm a big fan of teamwork, but the guys I Nerf with don't really go for that (except for 1). They tried to go Lone Ranger...Except a couple of "you go that way, I'll go this way" things and pincer movements. In general, there's not a sufficient amount of teamwork in our games.

But yes, I think teamwork is essential. No matter what your style, teamwork is a must for sucess against good teams.



#1116 East Coast War

Posted by Switchblade on 05 February 2003 - 04:38 PM in Nerf Wars

That's all dandy, but New Jersey's too damn far! Ah, I guess I'll live. Then again, I don't wanna go any more than 2 hours for a Nerf war. Good luck to all of you at your wars.



#1201 New Article!

Posted by Switchblade on 08 February 2003 - 05:00 PM in Site Feedback

Dude, are you serious? That's crazy. But seriously, I read it, and that's a nice article. Short and to the point. Lanky people don't intimidate me, though. The average height towers of muscle are what freak me out. And Captain Popetacious? What the hell?!



#1473 East Coast War

Posted by Switchblade on 17 February 2003 - 04:08 PM in Nerf Wars

Evil, thank you for your willingness to kick my ass.

And can we stop with the "ANO" 's already?! Jeez...



#1615 H2h In Nerf.

Posted by Switchblade on 19 February 2003 - 06:05 PM in General Nerf

Guys...In gun fights, how many people whip out a sword? I mean, seriously. In every movie you've seen with a gun fight, have you seen people sneaking up with swords? No. You don't bring a knife to a gunfight. That's all I have to say.



#1768 New Nerf Gun!

Posted by Switchblade on 24 February 2003 - 04:44 PM in General Nerf

I think I'll bid on it. Just keep it strapped to my wrist during wars or something. I dunno. But it's strange, indeed.



#1771 April Yano Planning Thread

Posted by Switchblade on 24 February 2003 - 06:58 PM in Nerf Wars

Just a question here - does the YANO replace the LANO?



#1819 Ratchetblast Repair Needed..

Posted by Switchblade on 26 February 2003 - 05:23 PM in Modifications

This is what happened to mine (which I happened to find in my backyard b/c one of my bro's friends left it there. All rusty and stuff)! I dunno what's wrong though. It just kinda slid on down...Sorry I wasn't any help. Anyone know how to treat this?



#1959 Best Airtech?

Posted by Switchblade on 03 March 2003 - 05:42 PM in General Nerf

First of all, let's not get too opinionated or worked up here. Okay. I'm finally buying an Airtech gun, and I don't know which one to get, and don't say "all of 'em", I'm a little tight on money. I'd say I'm looking for either a good pistol, or a managable rifle (not a freakin' RF20 kinda thing). Any suggestions?



#2002 Bolt Action Sniper Rifle - C02 Powered

Posted by Switchblade on 04 March 2003 - 06:02 PM in Homemades

That is truly a engineering marvel. However, I pray to God that you will never use that on a person. Seriously, dude. That is a death machine (in a good and bad way). "With great power comes great responsiblity."



#2003 Best Airtech?

Posted by Switchblade on 04 March 2003 - 06:08 PM in General Nerf

Thanks, guys. I feel slightly ashamed I haven't gotten a AirTech yet. Then again, I've been out of the Nerf loop for a while. Need another war, dammit.

Winter+Stefans=PAIN!!!



#2005 Taglines

Posted by Switchblade on 04 March 2003 - 06:15 PM in Site Feedback

authorite (I need an accent over the e)

Authorité

Done ;)

Anyway, you guys really narrowed it down to some good stuff. Bravo. Except "I <3 Your Mom". Anyway, I'd be happy with any of the others.



#2010 Taglines

Posted by Switchblade on 04 March 2003 - 07:55 PM in Site Feedback

Okay, this is my final say on the shirts.

Good Ones (In no particular order):
1)NerfHaven - So Parents have something to blame violence on besides Video Games.
2)The reason for that little warning on the box
3)Real men use plastic guns

Hell-naw Ones: Got Nerf?

Everything else is ok. A'ight, I'm done



#2101 Avatars

Posted by Switchblade on 09 March 2003 - 01:09 PM in Site Feedback

Tru that, VACC. But you can't go wrong with Megaman.



#2102 Big Huge Mod Dex

Posted by Switchblade on 09 March 2003 - 01:16 PM in Off Topic

Dude! Holy crap! The LaMarios! Nerf clan in Cinci! w00t! Also, the Mod Dex will be very useful so myself and others won't have to be posting stupid topics on the forum. And it's all in one place! Hooray! Hooray.



#2333 Help

Posted by Switchblade on 18 March 2003 - 06:45 PM in Modifications

Just a message to you: Please write with proper spelling, punctuation, capitilization, and whatnot.



#2480 War On Iraq

Posted by Switchblade on 20 March 2003 - 05:26 PM in Off Topic

Batman, I'm pretty much with you on this one. Also, Milkbelly, I hear you. Whoever said we're sheltered warwise: Tru fucking that. Yeah, 9-11 was bad. But seriously, I wasn't that affected by it. And we have never had a big war with another country (other than England) on our soil. People just don't really realize that. "[insert country] is such a pussy, they won't fight!" Then that same person's saying "Oh my god, the fighting could be somewhat near us! We're all gonna die!" France has had the shit beaten out of their country. And as for the people who dis Bush, the majority don't know jack-shit about politics. They just say "He's a hick!". If you dislike Bush because you have a good reason, I'm just dandy. But considering all the shit that's gone down, he's been doing pretty good.

And please excuse the expletives, they're for emphasis.



#2482 Nerfhaven

Posted by Switchblade on 20 March 2003 - 05:34 PM in Off Topic

Like C or VACC said, it won't stay this size forever. But, like [whoever] said, The trademark will lots of user and quality. I'm all for expanding, as long as Joe shmoe, who doesn't know he has a shift key, but can use that Caps lock, is allowed to write "NEED cROSSBOW!!!!" all over. I'm glad Cxwq is taking the time to filter the users. And guys, please feel free to whip out the banhammer or warn people if they are being dumbasses. I'm not a very experienced Nerfer, so I just shut up if I don't what I'm talking about. I don't have many posts, I'm not very well known, but if I speak, I know my shit.



#2483 Scenario And Games Section

Posted by Switchblade on 20 March 2003 - 05:38 PM in Site Feedback

I would suggest you look here. It was written by our good man Spoon. But indeed, it would be nice to have an article on different kinds of battles. By the way, articles? Anyone?



#2485 Tips To Get A Good Clan.

Posted by Switchblade on 20 March 2003 - 05:42 PM in General Nerf

What VACC said. I just got one of my friends pumped about it (showed him some pics, including the "Bolt Action loser Rifle". We're gonna do a mod over Spring Break! Hooray!) And sorry to be a bitch, but I wanna keep this board very nice, so please use punctuation (,.?, etc.)

For example: Posted by Black Blade
"puddle of foam are you talking to me if so sure. "
Puddle of Foam, are you talking to me? If so, sure.

Sorry to humiliate you dude, but I really have hope for this place.



#2556 Nerfhaven

Posted by Switchblade on 22 March 2003 - 08:48 PM in Off Topic

There are too many n00b posts that are asking simple questions which can be found by looking at either this site or another. It's a matter of 2 minutes. C'mon. I too am suspicious of Black Blade. Overall, on forums there are too many people who just post "tru dat" or "yes"/"no". Sometimes "hee hee". I am not by a long shot a Nerf expert, and I do not post unless I have something to say.

Switchblade Out.



#2558 Scenario And Games Section

Posted by Switchblade on 22 March 2003 - 08:56 PM in Site Feedback

it doesn't seem like a broad enough topic to turn into a forum section.

Word. I thought we were talking about article section or database or something. My bad. Yeah, that would suck as a forum section.



#2559 Tips To Get A Good Clan.

Posted by Switchblade on 22 March 2003 - 08:58 PM in General Nerf

There are three groups in Ohio that we've fought against.

Dammit, Black Blade, you're in Ohio? Now I can hunt you down for your meaningless posts! Hooray!

Get the "special" stefans.

#2648 Shirts?

Posted by Switchblade on 25 March 2003 - 02:24 PM in Site Feedback

Not to be a bitch, but how are the shirts coming along?

Also, articles? Any planned, or are you waiting for a submission?



#2650 Shirts?

Posted by Switchblade on 25 March 2003 - 02:32 PM in Site Feedback

Hooray. Because though the forums are intelligent, like y'alls said at the beginning: it's not just 'bout the forums, it's about content. And I hope to see that. And now I have Paypal. Keep it up and there'll be a donation coming your way. :(



#2685 At3k

Posted by Switchblade on 26 March 2003 - 10:28 AM in General Nerf

Ok, last night I bought the Airtech 3000. Now, I know guns suck out of the box, but I"m getting something like 10 feet. Maybe I'm not pumping enough. How many times do you reccomend pumping it? (unmodded)



#2694 At3k

Posted by Switchblade on 26 March 2003 - 03:05 PM in General Nerf

Thank ye much. And by the way, what the bloody hell does PETG stand for?



#2699 Shirts?

Posted by Switchblade on 26 March 2003 - 04:12 PM in Site Feedback

I can't think of anything besides the usual shit.

Ooh, RAD teams. Hehe! Do it for me, Spoon, or I won't give you (or VACC!) the whoring money!



#2718 Ohio Nerfers.

Posted by Switchblade on 26 March 2003 - 09:19 PM in General Nerf

Me & no.



#2742 Shirts?

Posted by Switchblade on 27 March 2003 - 07:49 PM in Site Feedback

Spoon, you're right. You know, before I had been bitching to myself "Why aren't there any more articles?" Then I realized, damn, I can't think of anything (besides the usual crap that everyone and their mom writes about 10 times).



#2840 Nerf War Stories.

Posted by Switchblade on 31 March 2003 - 06:58 PM in Site Feedback

Mock the "l33t" n00bs out there. Yes, you're hardcore, but make fun of the loser hardcore people. It can involve drive-bys/mob hits. Ah, that would be great.



#3062 Girls...

Posted by Switchblade on 07 April 2003 - 09:44 AM in Off Topic

Okay, here's my life: I'm 13, almost 14, and I'm in 8th grade. All of the grades at are school are about 120-140 people. This gives us enough distance from people we don't like (unlike Merlinski), but keeps it from:
"I'm in love with you!"
"Do I know you?".

At this point in time, it doesn't really matter about "relationships". What most people do is just flirt their asses off. Yeah. But I actually like a girl.

Oh yeah, 2 nights ago I told her I liked her. But I'm sick right now, which allows me to be posting. Wonder what it'll be like to go back to school and see her...
Since I'm sure Nerfers have plenty of experience, and are masters, with women, what to do?



#3063 Camo.

Posted by Switchblade on 07 April 2003 - 09:50 AM in Nerf Wars

The goal is for them to all end up here. Hal seems agreeable to this situation so it should just be a matter of time.

Score. Since NO is just a dead classic, I think we should bring all the goodness to this here flourishing website.

And camo is a state of mind...



#3068 Girls...

Posted by Switchblade on 07 April 2003 - 02:23 PM in Off Topic

Did she return the compliment when you said that you liked her?

I actually haven't managed to reach her yet. Okay, I did the dumbass thing: I was on IM, and you see, I actually like 2 girls (oh shiot). I told her one (not her) then when she asked for #2, I said "she's a close friend of yours, so I don't want to make things akward". Then I said I had to get off (I did, my dad was kicking me off, and it was 9:30). This made her rather pissed. So I told her, and signed off.

Yeah, I'm smart. So today is Monday (told her Saturday), and I'm authentically sick. Therefore, I'm at home. She hasn't been on IM lately. So, I haven't been able to communicate. Wow, I'm stupid. When I told one friend it would be akward, she said "It's only as akward as you make it be". I think that's true. But the ideal thing would be for me to have talked it out with her. So don't do what I did kids, I was too dead tired to think!

Women, feel free to heckle me.



#3103 Girls...

Posted by Switchblade on 08 April 2003 - 02:11 PM in Off Topic

one thing i have learned over the years is that you really shouldn't say anything personal or important over AIM



True that. I learned that too, but I was in a bit of a "what the hell? Why not?" kinda mood. And things aren't too akward, just so y'all know. She said hi to me in the hallway. But I can't do my usual "in [insert class], [person] did [action]! Haha, chortle, chortle." And so on. Yeah, like I said, I really fucked things up here. I know she won't go out with me...However, the other girl is really quite...err, "friendly" this week, so we'll see what happens. In conclusion, AIM will screw your personal life, and I screwed crap up for the next 2 weeks. Peace.



#3528 Nerf Movie

Posted by Switchblade on 16 April 2003 - 02:50 PM in General Nerf

Ok...One thing you could do without a plot...Do a little improv of a Nerf war (run around, shoot each other) but do bad-ass moves (John Woo, Matrix kinda shit). Just film that, and make it a short film. Or film that, then add and film a plot later on. And with the plot, it would have to be corny/kitschy or no plot at all. If you try to make a serioius plot, I think it would just end up being stupid.

Oh yeah, and no blood.

Yes, turn away, my child. Your father didn't stand a chance...



#4162 Nerf Movie

Posted by Switchblade on 30 April 2003 - 02:35 PM in General Nerf

Taita Cakes, I gotta admit, that's a pretty nice intro. Keep thinking! Ray, you too. It doesn't matter if it takes a while, if it's quality. In my eyes, this'll either suck or rock. Let's go for the second one. And wtrent, shut up.

Those shirts are pretty cool. But I was blown away by the thong...Wow. And the store is here.
