#323715 [Northern CA] Planning a Nerf War!

Posted by nerfer9 on 18 November 2012 - 10:56 PM in Nerf Wars

Or better yet, give the job to somebody who already knows how to properly conduct such an event. Please, take no offense; you're just obviously inexperienced. Keep in mind I'm not the first to mention this. You still haven't mentioned eye protection or dart construction requirements- two basic concepts, the need of which is nearly universally accepted by the entire nic. We shouldn't have to tell you the basics of organizing a war, these things generally go without saying.

All guns are allowed, except the titan

I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that, plenty of guns are equally as powerful as a titan, cobras can be MORE powerful. Plugged lbbs, big blasts, rotorockets, etc etc.



#323294 [Northern CA] Planning a Nerf War!

Posted by nerfer9 on 04 November 2012 - 01:08 AM in Nerf Wars

You'd get more interest if you moved the war to Sacramento, as it seems to be closer to the majority of the interested parties. Two people have already expressed their discontent with this, one saying he was unsure whether he'd even be able to show up because of the war's current location in Roseville.

Discovery park is a good option, as there's plenty of trees and nature to use for cover as well as being easy to find and located near all the major freeways.

I'm 17, live downriver, in the Delta. I'm close enough.



#322502 [Northern CA] Planning a Nerf War!

Posted by nerfer9 on 12 October 2012 - 06:44 PM in Nerf Wars

That's what I assumed, but I've seen many Nerf war videos where they have open fields. If we were to use an open field we would probably have to make mobstacles (sp) or something of the sort.

I've actually hosted around 4 wars with just some friends (maybe 15 people max) where we went to the Social Science Building on the UCD campus (aka Death Star) which is basically a concrete fortress perfect for lower range Nerf wars. Unfortunately some angry student threatened to call the cops if we hit anybody so just to play it safe we left. Even though we were there late Sunday afternoon attempting to avoid people.


Yeah I'm not saying it's impossible to nerf in a open field, I'm simply saying picking a park with natural cover would be the most rational thing to do before buying and assembling the parts to make mobstacles haha.

I do agree with your earlier statement, that roseville is a bit far. Sacramento or Davis would probably be better as it's closer for the majority of the interested parties.



#322434 [Northern CA] Planning a Nerf War!

Posted by nerfer9 on 11 October 2012 - 12:10 AM in Nerf Wars

Northstar Park would be an excellent place as it has a large open field. There is a small parking lot right next to the field that would be plenty large for us. We would need to figure out/make obstacles, but other than that it should work well. It also would probably work better for many DUGG members as they're closer.


Generally you want to avoid open fields, like you said you want obstacles; cover and/or trees, places to dodge darts. Or else you wind up threatening to shoot each other from just outside your range. I've been there and done that. The best wars I've been to, socal wars, were hosted at schools. Corners and corridors make things much more practical.

Just a suggestion.



#322431 [Northern CA] Planning a Nerf War!

Posted by nerfer9 on 10 October 2012 - 11:36 PM in Nerf Wars

As for the weapons I will not allow snap guns, snap bows.


Call me out, would have never responded to the thread if I had seen this earlier.

That's completely ludicrous and will definitely stop people from wanting to go to your war, considering the ever increasing popularity of homemades. I'm not in a good economic standpoint, and homemade blasters are a much more efficient use of my already lacking funds and time. I can easily make enough blasters for all my friends for 50 bucks and still have parts over. Few blasters are on the market anymore that are worth it to pick up and modify, if any.

I notice you have no specific ban of titans, also absurd. If you want to limit them to 3-barrel shotguns or rockets that's fine, but there should at least be a restriction on singled ones.

Don't take it personally, but I think you might want to let someone else organize this, it doesn't sound like you have much experience in the matter.

Hope you reconsider.

I'm between elk grove and lodi, in the delta. I'm down and I've also got 3 friends that are possibly interested.

I'm in Solano, near Rio Vista. I'd love to get something going, even if it's just a handful of people.

N9 was saying how this looked like a glue dome, and I'm going to have to agree with him.


Yeah, great job matching the glue to the foam Kane.

Nope. You were just fooling around.

I am now unbanned, disregard.



#289408 Nerf Irc Room

Posted by nerfer9 on 29 November 2010 - 07:07 PM in Off Topic

I was banned from nerfchat while I was away at school. I'm not sure why. Looking at my logs it seems like they were just dicking around, but they never unbanned me.

<Gears> I don't want to ban him indefinitely!
<Langley> I'm sure someone will reactivate him if it's permanent.
<Gears>Do it Phil
<Gears>Ban N9.

#286396 Where Should I Post My Writeup?

You modified it to be useful in nerf. Put it in the mod section. Seems reasonable enough.

Posted by nerfer9 on 18 September 2010 - 09:34 PM in Nerf Wars

Pros:
Got rid of shit I didn't want
Hendrix performed great, but I needed to warm up before I got good with her.
Making some money
Doing okay the entire day and getting some nice hits.
Getting compliments on my xbow all day
Dr.Pepper
Going to Fuddrucker's after the war, and eating a motherfucking wonderful bore-meat burger.
Meeting nice people.

Cons:
Some of the darts I bought had only a single bb, and they swerved badly in my xbow making it hard to shoot anything.
Long ass drive.
Not buying any cool junk.

I'm debating coming or not. I'm sure I'll have Hendrix put together by then, but I'm not so sure if the three hour drive is worth it. Put me as a maybe for now.

#284244 First Documented Hopper Clip Usage In Nerf

No guys, I invented the hopper clip. That makes me cool. You all need to give me credit. I did it first. Not you.

#284225 Ar Removal Tool

Posted by nerfer9 on 28 August 2010 - 09:42 PM in Modifications

Indeed I was, however Mbisc's statement is equally correct.



#284222 Ar Removal Tool

Posted by nerfer9 on 28 August 2010 - 08:53 PM in Modifications

if you want to remove the AR completely you can use a larger drill bit and drill it out but it won't make a huge difference in performance

That statement is incorrect. There's a reason why people completely remove the ar instead of removing just the peg. I recommend doing research before you post something that has no truth behind it. Believe me, it saves you a lot of trouble. I've done it way too many times myself.

Dude, one bb is not enough weight. Put in at least two or they'll spiral in higher powered blasters.

So you guys are going to whine about slingshot weights, but play in new games involving terribly overpowered blasters? This is just asking for trouble.

#278972 Tape Masking

Posted by nerfer9 on 29 June 2010 - 03:19 PM in Modifications

I've actually found that if you want to spend the time making the piece of wax paper the size of a piece of printer paper, that once you put the masking tape on that you can put it in your printer, and print your design directly on the tape.
