Ok, I'm hosting a war on the 9th. The playing feild is just a basic park, it has a woods area in it, and a large, open playing field. It's about 4 blocks away from my house, and I don't know the exact address, so drive down to my house, and when everybody arrives, we can walk the two or so blocks down to the park.

Hope you guys aren't to sore after Apoc. I want at least 10 guys to show up.

I will be getting the address today

Can I sleep over at your house because you're so awesome, Ice?

[ice]

Ugh, please. Let's be serious. Rely, can anyone come to this war or what?

[Rambo]

Why the fuck would people come to a war on a Tuesday? Just cos you don't have school it doesn't mean people don't have responsibilities. Make it a Saturday and I'll consider going if other people on NH are going.

Sorry, I didn't mean Tuesday. Fuck. I meant Saturday.

My initial reaction was Tuesday?! as well. But, I will say props for the enthusiasm.

Apoc was a little different than most wars. In the case of Apoc, we let tradition set the date. Normally, a host polls for interest in a set of particular dates. For example:

"I'm looking to host a nerf war at [_________]. I'd like to have it [Some date about a month from now]. However, I am also available these dates [Weekend days a couple weeks before and after]. Let me know what you would be interested in and we'll go with the date that works for me and the majority of perspective attendees.

The terrain you can expect is: Option A) Here are some pictures of the terrain. or It is wooded/open/both. or C) Post both.

[Any special rules]"

You obviously did some of those things, but I thought I'd give you a more complete idea of what you should post.

It's also not a bad idea to look at the schedule and see when other Nerf wars in your region are. Since many people have to travel, bunching up dates doesn't always work. So, if you don't see anything going on in September, suggest a September war. Another issue to consider is any holiday that may be that weekend.

Lastly, I wouldn't normally list your address online. Find an address for the park or create a google maps page with the park pinned. People can then get directions to there. I'm editing out your address for your privacy.

Isn't the 9th a tad early? I mean, with less than a week in advance...What about the 16th?

EDIT: I may be going to the PA Renn Faire this weekend. I may not make it.

Sucks man, I work every other weekend so I can't make this. What part of PA is this in BTW? And also, if anyone DID want to nerf during the week, I could totally make it.

Talio.

Edit - I went ahead and changed the date in your title for you.

Do you happen to have pics of the playing field?
