I'll be there. Not sure what I'll be bringing yet but probably just some fruit, which nobody will eat. Oh well, more for me.

[Jedijoe9]

I'm still a maybe, but there is a pretty good chance I'll show up. It pretty much depends on whether or not my girlfriend needs help with some stuff that day.

I'm going to try and bring a trail mix and perhaps some home baked cookies (be forewarned, I make kind of weird cookies)

[flamincows]

Can none of you girls cook? Jesus, I'd better have some time to get some baking done or this is going to be the worst feast ever. Also, Gabe, purple drank is most commonly made with prescription cough syrup. I'm going to go ahead and assume that you're referring to something else as I'm pretty sure that nerfing under the influence of a disassociative drug would not be a great idea. But I mean, you know, if that makes you happy.

You have no idea how reassured I am when you chief adjective is "weird" lol. Sounds excellent though, hope you can make it.


@Flamin': I'm gonna be a real man and char some animal flesh right there on the battle field.


Hope to see you all there.

Yeah, man I'm talking about the stuff you buy at the store in gallon jugs. I figure it's in the spirit of nerf that we drink silly colored drinks with tastes that confuse the tastebuds (the best way to describe it is it tastes like purple). There is also blue and orange and red drink that exists, I may I may get blue aswell.

Bump me up to a definite. See you guys Sunday

I'm going to attempt to pick on up, but just in case, does anyone have a stock maverick I can borrow for the round that requires said blaster?

They may not be stock, so hopefully it can be agreed upon that AR removal and Rouletted are acceptable, but you can borrow one of mine. That puts me at 5/5 reserved if I'm not mistaken.

[Mr BadWrench]

it has to be STOCK? and a Maverick? WOW...

[sublimedom777]

It might not even be needed BW, Stock was suggested, but AR removal was my choice, as well as rouletted.

Anyway, See Y'all tomorrow.

Leaving in 15 minutes.

EDIT: Got home a half hour ago. That was an awesome war. Favorite part of the day was during the 5:0 round when I was rolling and diving and dodging all over the place. Thanks everybody.

Great war! Thanks to all of the Pittsburgians for making me feel welcome and thanks to Badwrench for making the trip. I'm super excited to nerf more in the area.

Highlights:
-I was worried, but I had a blast rocking the stock raider all day and I think it really reflects well onto the group that I didn't come out full of welts and with no hits. The variety of blasters made for alot of fun rounds and I never felt like I couldn't compete.
-The park was awesome, though my knee is sure feeling it now.
-Jwasko ran into a bar at head level while being chased and didn't pass out.
-For some reason, during the first zombies round, everyone was required to duct tape snacks to themselves. This was incredibly awesome, even if I didn't understand the rules implications involved. This made for one of the funniest rounds of the day, as I randomly grabbed for Twinkies while attempting to convert humans.

They are definitely on opposing teams...

[princexbuster]

Since jmwasko is on a hiatus there is noone to run this tread. The war is the info on the are copied for the pnc nerf site. I minimizeed it but all the info is here for everyone I just didnt want to have a giant assy post. IF you really want to stay connected I suggest joining the site
SITE HERE

POW! December

Hosted By: karpenter63

Date: 1/16/10

Time: 10:30AM-??:??PM

Location: St. Peter’s Episcopal Church
4048 Brownsville Rd

Pittsburgh, PA 15227

Backup Location: None needed

Special Info: Down Time: In a attempt to reduce downtime between rounds, I am requesting that whomsoever wishes to trade guns and or swap yarns about modding guns or previous wars to either arrive early, or save such activities for lunch and the end of the day.


Special Info: Bandana: All attendees will be required to bring a bandana to be used for team identification. Any ripped up piece of fabric will do just as long as it is kept on your person for the entirety of the day. This should speed up the process of switching teams because all one will have to do is remove and pocket their bandana or vice versa.


Special Info: Lunch: Packing a lunch is recommended though there is a well equipped shopping center right across the street from us. There is a Chinese Joint, McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and a Giant Eagle.


Special Info: House Rules: Being as this war will be held at an indoor location, and a church at that, it is to be expected that we have some house rules. They are as follows:


Respect – We will be nerfing in a place designed for worship, so I ask that you all respect the property. This is a no brainer and I know that I won’t have to worry about anyone punching holes in walls, breaking tables, etc.



Doors – In order to keep everyone in the allowed field of play we have a simple rule: Do not touch the doors. In other words, if a door is open, don’t close it, and vice versa


Allowed Weapons – When SCN was just starting out, the only place we ever nerfed was in this church. Because of this, as we started to modify more and more of our blasters we continued to use them in our little battle field. So basically anything flies in this location, besides the usual banned weaponry.


Special Info: Required equipment: Besides the bandana, you should also make sure to bring a flashlight that can be attached (taped) to your gun for a lowlight round requested by Solscud, a melee weapon for Swashbuckler’s Heaven, some stock weaponry for the zombies rounds, and of course your usual primary and secondary.


Game Types to be Played:

Deathmatch – 3/15, 5/0 (2 and/or 3 teams)

Heaven – Gunslingers, Swashbucklers

CTF – 2 flags 2 teams, Single Flag (2 or 3 teams)

Zombies – November POW! Variant, and possibly a scenario based round
