Great war. Easily the best war I've ever been to. Thanks Lynx & Jedijoe for hosting this incredible gathering of Ohio nerfers.

Pros:
- Using Jedijoe's +bow for a few rounds. That thing is sexy.
- Having all the cincy people show up.... in a white, unmarked van, crammed full of college kids and plastic weaponry.
- The amazing 20 min. CTF matches.
- Finding out snlping is actually possibe/effective in Nerf.
- Hiding up in a tower, with Boisie guarding the stair case, and getting a total of 3 headshots/6 kills/and 1 happy nerfer.
- Finally selling my beat up SNAPbow, and to a good cause. Good luck with it Jedijoe.
- Getting an eliminator/plusbow spring from a certain mr. badwrench.
- Nerfing in the cold brisk day, and meeting some cool new people. Thaygor your crossbow is accurate as hell. Or could it be the nerfer?
- Playing CTF, HvZ, TDM, ghost, & side games.
- Oh yeah, taking down an entire team with a stock maverick.
- The general good vibe. Probably because of longshotwielder's absence...

Cons:
- My good SNAPbow snapping in various places 3 hrs. before the war.
- My Big blast pump snapping clear in half towards the end of the day.
- My doomsayer turret decided it was too cold to play and magically stopped working.
- Getting there 1/2 hour late.

Edit- To Lynx: Ah so thats why you were so pissy after that round.

Well, now it's the other hoster's turn...

Great fun, great rushes, great guns and great friends

FUN:
+The whole castle rocks! We should do summer or spring there.
+Diving and hiding in the bottom catacombs. (Rushing comes from here)
+Getting to say catacombs (Doom for the win)
+Picking a great Ghost Team
+The Humans versus Zombies round where I was on top of the castle with the FireFly, shooting zombies and having fun.

RUSHES:
+During CTF, I ran so many times against the Cinci crew with minor success
+Touching the flag 3 times
+Having that girl roll over on me and saying I had more balls than the rest of the team (the one compliment)
+Having JediJoe on my team during ghost supporting me before the rush

GUNS:
-My guns being insecure with hot glue uprooting on my TTG
-My guns sucking with the cold
+MrBadWrench letting me use his FireFly with integrated smdtg
+The FireFly in close quarters plus the smdtg. It was fun.

FRIENDS:
+My friend (Will) rocking with the BBB after initial apprehension
+JediJoe rocking
+thaygor rocking
+Will (my friend) rocking
+Me rocking(ish)

The only bad part of the war was in the Capture the Flag round with Cincinnati versus everyone else. I was everyone else and well, the Cincinnati team was douchebags. They walked through the whole field getting ammo and one circumstance ruined the round(s) for me:

The bad part that got me so fucking pissed off:
I ran up on the far side (from the parking lot) hit a couple of people with the FireFly, dashed to the flag, got it and saw blowgun guy, walking away with no interest in me what so ever. The spawn point was the fence back behind the swing set. Blowgun guy hit the swingset, then tapped me with the blowgun and I was pissed. He was out, and he hit me, I thought I was dead. I turned, saw him and yelled, "YOU'RE FUCKING DEAD". At this point, all their team is respawned and I am stopped in their base since I thought I was dead. "YOU WERE AND ARE DEAD", I had the flag was at least 15 feet away from the flag point yelling at this cheating douchewad. I throw the flag, pick up darts and walk back to my area.

Im sitting down and gluing my spring gun right now.... building stefans and possibly going to Walmart and buying another Firefly, Im inspired.
The "Horney Salvo" just needs a larger pump, it leaks because the hornet pump does not have enough volume to make all 7 salvo tanks seal with 1 pump.... in theory the first pump on a piston valve gun is just to seat the piston and seal the tanks, then you build pressure..... since the hornet pump did not have the required volume to seat the pistons on all 7 chambers they would leak off requiring massive pumping to seat them all...

From now on, I will always have a BBBB with me regardless of posted game rules and ill never go anywhere without my either RF20 or my NRF425..

I have 2 mavs to mod and will be bringing a sword next time also....

heres the zombie movie I talked about if anyone cares

I would like to thank our "Girl" who braved nerds geeks and weirdos to spend a day running around with a toy gun on a playground.

I would like to thank lynx for being brave enough to wear a Steelers hat all day... and for not breaking my firefly.

thanks joe,camo,zooner,geko and the cinci guys even though I still have a welt on my leg from one of those damn air guns.

Couple more pictures-- There should be a gallery tomorrow:

[mystefansdontflystraight]

You guys look like you had an awesome time.
Thaygor: WTF is that huge bungie you have on your xbow? How hard is it to pull back? Where did you get it? I should get one, my xbow doesn't have a spring replacement, and with surgical rubber it is only getting 75ft.

Nice location, HbH2 had a small playground. I was running through it and heard a loud PING 2 inches away... That would have been one hell of a headshot.

[Shrub]

Looks like you had a good time. In March shall you all quiver in fear of my AT2K Collosal Arsenal. "Be afraid, Be very afraid"- Some commercial.

[NerfMonkey]

There's another war coming up in March?

I regret missing this one so I'll try to make it if there is another one coming up.

[silentsnipe]

Sound's like you guy's had alot of fun. Wish I could of been there.

There is one coming up in the spring. Locations and month being thrown around, but there is one to look forward to.

More like quivering in laughter. Your aim is so bad you could have a nuke, and still miss us from 20 ft. away.

ok, If the Captain of the enemy team tells you where his flag is hidden, HE IS LYING!!!!!

[thaygor]

Hay don how many elemanters did you sell?

Edited by thaygor, 21 December 2008 - 10:13 PM.

[Mr BadWrench]

Hay don how many elemanters did you sell?

Im going to modify all I have, I found one more mod for them for range increase.

That round made me want to rip my eyes out, just so I wouldn't have to watch our failure.

- Finding out snlping is actually possibe/effective in Nerf.

A sn1per is an individual, usually a soldier or law enforcement agent, who specializes in shooting targets with high-precision rifles from very long distances, usually from a concealed location.

I saw no examples of anything matching this definition.

[boisie]

I'd put those big blasts in that type of situation. I had to cover one of them, so I got to see the few nice 100 foot near-headshots.



It's more of a setting based thing in nerf. Here you needed precision.

[nerf mafia]

Wow looks like I missed alot of fun. I think it would be a good idea to disscuss and plan wars using a chatroom. Mr. Badwrench, bobafan, and myself use the nerfhq chatroom regularly. This would also be a good way to plan out which location we would like to suggest for season of foam when the time comes.

[Lynx]

Well, whenever you all decide what is up with the spring war(s), pm me for approval.

I'm the decider.



EDIT: Kidding of course, but thanks for the pm!
