I can't go.

[Famine]

Hey kids, I've picked the final location for the war and have updated the first page accordingly.

We're going to try out Tatum County Park in Middletown. I just walked the park today and really liked what I saw. The area I have in mind is right outside the Activity Center and it's basically a flat picnic area that's divided by a grid of low hedges (about 4' high) with a few trees interspersed. I'll try to get some pictures posted by the end of the week.

This is a huge park with plenty of varied terrain. In addition to the main area, I also scouted out a few heavier wooded groves, some trails, and I even found those steps from the end fight scene in Fellowship of the Ring.

For those of you who are trying to rely on public transportation, the Middletown Train Station is only a mile from the park. If you can get your ass there I'll make sure you get a lift the rest of the way. If anyone feels they need my cellphone please PM me for it but don't depend on me having it with me once the war starts.

As it stands we're looking at about 16-17 Nerfers which I think is a great turn out BUT I would love to see us hit 20!

What's the rules on those new Nerf swords? (Allowed or no? T-T)
If you say no, because they're not technically guns... that part can be changed ^_~
Just give us a heads up so we'll know whether or not to pick some up~

And remember... if you say no, just be careful... you never know who might screen shot your reply and send it to Hasbro, and when they find out who just cost them a $15 profit... they might not risk that individual to be around any longer... for he might risk them losing profits again in the future~ *kalikkukaglahulg* (throat slitting sound )

[One Man Clan]

b00m, don't be a dipshit. We've (and by we I mean mostly me) got a great working relationship with our friends at Hasbro. I've told them to their faces what I do and don't like about their products and what the community's opinions are on a lot of things. You would just look like an idiot sending a "screen cap" of something they probably already read. Way to go.

I am probably going to be about 2 hours late to Tedfest.

Ok, here's my ruling on Nerf Swords:
An unaltered, Nerf brand, sword is legal if used in a safe and responsible manner.

Now that being said, my personal opinion is that bringing a sword to a gun fight is retarded. Expect to be picked last every round, mocked constantly, and if you're on my team I'm going to tell you to put the god damn thing away and use a gun.

Unless it's a Zombie Round.
I don't plan on running any Zombie Rounds.

[zach attack]

I'll be there.

[b00m13]

Yeah, my whole aspiration with this war is to fuck Groove and his fancy new Guru. He's an asshole.

I'll revise the rules to something clearer in a minute.

I've actually spent my last couple of weeks building a PG (Peasant's Guru) to combat Groove's fancy new Guru... so wish me luck~

BTW Famine, have you decided on a "clever name" for this war yet? I ask because for a while now, every time I refer to this war, I had to call it "the nameless war on the 25th"..... and it's kinda exhausting T-T

PS How about at least one zombie round? Like for someone who's never been in or even seen one? Pretty please with hot girls on top?

I thought it was being called tedfest. Or may I suggest war no-name.
unfortunately I might not make it-I get to be stranded in the middle of Amish country

Holy shit! I completely missed this one. Teach me to go off and get engaged. I will definitely be there, but PhotoBug may not be there. It all depends on what time she works that day.

[VACC]

Alright, we're 10 days out from this thing, and I'd just like to give everybody an idea of what they should expect. Those of you who have come to one of the Deal invitationals in the past know this alread, but the rest of you should listen up.

We run a pretty tight war. We will have plans for each round, and we will have a good idea of what the teams should look like before hand. We are not interested in sitting on our asses between rounds, so we will keep things moving. Aside from a very brief lunch, the most time you can expect between rounds is goung to be 10-15 minutes. When you are out, I suggest you look for your darts in any area not currently occupied by active players. While famine or another member of Mag-7 may ask for feedback at some point in time during the war, do not expect any round to be run at the behest of anyone aside from the organizors. It's time we all got something straight. Nerf wars are NOT democracies. When they are run as such, the suck. A good nerf war is a fucking dictatorship run by someone with a plan. We've NEVER had a problem with any nerfer at any war we've ever run, and no one's ever told us they didn't have a good time. Be cool, follow directions, and be ready to nerf.

Oh, and congrats on the engagement Badger.

[Talio]

That's what I'm fucking talking about! Give me the horns!

PS. Can someone make me darts?

[One Man Clan]

Talio, what barrels are you using? I should have something that will fit your stuff.

[Famine]

Talio, what barrels are you using? I should have something that will fit your stuff.

I don't think the kids should be reading stuff like this.

[Talio]

CPVC barrels probably. Your darts have never had any problems going through my barrels big man!

[Famine]

Ok, I am really excited to announce a new Special Rule type that we will be trying out at NNJNO.

Game Type: Swayzeland
Teams - 3, Swayze - 1
Win Condition: Achieve your Team's Goal

Team: Ruskies
3 Hit Points per Member, 6 Darts per Member
Goal: Eliminate all FBI Agents.

Team: FBI
3 Hit Points per Member, 6 Darts per Member
Goal: Eliminate all Ex-Presidents

Team: Ex-Presidents

Unlimited Hit Points, Melee Attacks Only (A Swayze attack is an Instakill)
Goal: Eliminate all opposition in 20 Minutes or Less

There you have it. And remember, no one puts Parkway in the corner.

[Split]

I assume since this is Tedfest, Ted will be Swayze. Swayze still has to count like everyone else, right? It's not just a game of tag? Sounds like it could be fun. I really like the ex-prez's objective.

[Jlego]

Won't be able to make it, forgot that's the night of my big Brass Ensemble / Concert Band concert, with our tech rehearsal earlier that day.

Sucks.

Have a good one, those who make it.

[VACC]

So, let's just have this right after lunch so I can take my time.

[Kuhlschrank]

I will not be able to make it.

[Icespartan 1114]

Me neither. Sorry guys just been to sick.

[Famine]

Alright we're only about 2 days out.
Anyone else going to pussy out at the last minute?
No? Good.

If you have any questions, now's the time to ask. I've updated the first post with pretty much all of the relevant information so make sure you read it over.

See you bitches soon.

[b00m13]

Yeah, my whole aspiration with this war is to fuck Groove and his fancy new Guru. He's an asshole.

Does that mean there will be an "All VS Groove" (AVG) round?

Not unless Groove wants to be Swayze, and nowadays...I can't imagine that anyone wants that.

[Split]

Pretty sure Xeorouge isn't going to make it, since, ya know.. his name is rouge and all.
