He missed the last one did he? Seems to me I haven't seen Ray in like 6 months.

I probably wouldn't be able to make the 21/22 weekend but that's no biggie.

[rawray7]

Hmm, the lone dissenter. What about it guys, who would NOT be able to come if it were the 21 or 22nd? I'd like you to be able to come Ray seeing as how you missed the last one and all.

Ray, you just need to quit all of your extracurricular activities and cease all functions from which you derive enjoyment and fulfillment. It's making my scheduling difficult, ok?

well...there's still a chance i could nerf that weekend. i need to find out what day(s) i fence. it 28/29 is better for everyone else, go for it, and i'll try to make it. you're damn right about those extracurricular activites, i should just quit everything and become a professional nerfer.

As Spock so eloquently put it in Wrath of Khan: "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one."

Check on those dates for us and we'll see what we can do. I'm thinking the 28/29 weekend would be best at this point.

[mr box]

whoa first post here in a long time

i might come down for the afternoon wars and have dinner with whoever can hang around.

though i have a feeling i'll be outgunned weilding pistols, i can make up for it in ass-tight pants.

[Spoon]

I'd be up for a pizza run after the war if anybody else is interested (I don't want to be seen in public alone with Box).

You're ass-tight pants will never rival my asshole shorts.


Ok so lets assume that we're doing this on either Sat Feb 28th or Sun Feb 29th. Which day is better people? I personally vote for Saturday since it's nice to have a day to recuperate. Anybody have unavoidable plans on Sunday?

[NerfManiac]

Saturday the 28th sounds better. That way my sorry ass has more time to heal.

Saturday is gonna be better for me.

[Black Blade]

Damn I wish there was a big war around here.

Let's just have an SDNO at Sam's house.

That could work....let me get a hold of that kid.

that kid, hello? glad you remeber me. sheez

we could do an sndo at my school lots of cover

But of course, after switched schools and quit the troop I forgot your name! Wait...it doesn't work that way....what kind of cover does your school provide? And can you come to the Feb YANO, you can come...right sam?

[Spoon]

Allright, Saturday February 28th it is! The war will be from 9am-5pm with an hour long break for lunch. So go out and spread the word guys.....

Now we just need to decide on a location.

[NerfManiac]

My friend goes to Burbank High School... Maybe if we go there he could come...

[Grinch]

I think I might come. How many of you actually live in the San Fernando Valley?

[cxwq]

Few if any. Most of us live in LA, OC, or SB.

Bonelli Park is right where those three counties meet.

It's also 5 minutes from my house but that's purely coincidental...

[Spoon]

Any chance we can get some pics of Bonelli park Cx?

[ShortShit]

WATCH OUT SPOON! ANTS! ANTS EVERYWHERE! AHHH! RUN FOR HE HILLS!

I'm funny! lol aww I'm sorry Ryan, everyone has weird fears! I'm scared of realistic looking dolls!

Damn I wish there was a big war around here.

yeah same here. the only wars i actually host consist of about three people. like i said before they're very small wars. every once in a great blue moon i might actually get about five people. but it's very rare. DAMN THE MIDWEST'S NERFAPHOBIC WAYS!!!!!

[cxwq]

Any chance we can get some pics of Bonelli park Cx?

OK, this isn't a great picture since I drove over there after work and it was almost dark and I didn't get over to the bigger side of the lake but it's something.

I'll try to get some closeups of actual areas tomorrow.

Basically the whole area around the lake is like this. Sparse trees with occasional clumps of them and a few bushes. On the other side of the lake from where I'm standing there are lots of little camp/picnic areas and half a dozen restrooms scattered along the length of the shore.

So as far as terrain goes, we have small rolling hills and larger slopes, grass and dirt, picnic tables and bbqs, various sizes of tree, some brush, and maybe a smallish building.



What do you guys think? We could always ignore the (lying) fucker at the school and go back there...

[NerfManiac]

Looks like a kickass place, dude. We'll actually have tree's now. I was gettin tired of that urban area at venado anyways.

[Spoon]

Zack: I hate you. Now I have the crawlies and will find it impossible to sleep.....

Cxwq: Place looks nice but I do worry a lot about losing, like, ALL the darts in the brush and the lake and stuff. Still I'm sure there are better areas within the park to play. How crowded is this place? The one nice thing about Venado is that we were (usually) never bothered.

I mean yea I'm sure the guy there was like 87% bullshit, but that location was getting pretty stale anyway, ya know?

[cxwq]

I think dart loss will be lower than you might expect. At SDNO I lost roughly half of my darts compared to about a quarter at a typical YANO. This place should be somewhere in the middle. I don't see us playing so close to the lake that it will be an issue.

I'm giving up my lunch break today to go take more pictures, you guys can decide whether you like the place after I post those. If not, there are tons more parks around and I'm still working on landing a new urban area that's on private land and pre-approved by the owner.

87% bullshit? You mean the part about the dozens of fires being set, the part about the trucks jumping off the little hill and racing between the portables, or the part about people stealing tables? I would have bought maybe half of what he said but he went so far over the top that it was rediculous.

Wow, I wish I had a park like that. Great scouting report Cxwq!

[Spoon]

Thanks for the excellent report dude.

I worry though about crowds and getting kicked out of the park by the rangers, we wouldn't have anywhere else to go.

I also wish there was more cover, but you can't have everything.
