Location: Landis Park. This is only about 7 minutes from my house, which should settle food and after party arrangements. That's also the reason this is semi-invitational; there are just some people I don't want at my house. If you can't relate, you probably haven't been to enough wars.

Date: Saturday, June 26th, 2010.

Time: Arrive around 9:30am. We'll try to start around 10, same old, same old.

Host: Split

What to bring:

• Lunch or lunch money. I'll be getting pizzas for lunch.
• Liquids - You know what you need. Worst case scenario, I should have a good amount, and there are places to get drinks nearby.
• Sunscreen - "The long term benefits of sunscreen has been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis other than my own, meandering experience."
• Nerf Blasters and Darts - A least one primary and one single shot spring pistol.
• Eye Protection - Eye protection is cheap and worth it, CVS and Home Depot offer glasses/goggles. I don't use it, go figure. We like to dodge, and we take responsibility.

Gun and dart rules:
Nothing heavier than slingshot darts. 2.2 grams per dart at most. My heaviest, best darts are only 2.0 grams; you don't need anything more but the extra is just so you don't get fucked over last minute. I'll have a scale, but I doubt it will come to that.
No gun bans. I still don't expect this to be a problem with this group.
I'm allowing Manta Ray and manta ray replicas as shields, as unlikely as either are to show up. Replicas may NOT be bigger in any dimension, or have the surface area flattened (folded in half is fine, albeit silly). Replicas and Manta Rays must also still shoot to be valid shields.
I'm placing no restrictions on hopper clips at all.

Rounds:
Team DM, Slightly modified Gunslinger Heaven (get out of purgatory by sending someone else to purgatory, not by sending them to hell), hopefully a nice DTC round (custom rules). I'm open to suggestions, as always.


Park info:
Landis park:

I haven't used this park, but it's almost always empty. It has a staging area and AGGROKRAG, but lacks variety. Luckily, the field type is one of my favorites - see pic. It's a frisbee golf course normally, so there are lots of clear pathways to shoot down, yet lots of huge trees to hide behind. With hoppers making it easier to run and charge a lot, this seems like the best choice. Gears and I scouted about a dozen other nearby parks, and the most viable ones are as much as a half hour away. The backup park is Parvin's State Park, but I'll handle that if it comes to it.

[VACC]

I will do my best to make this. Death and Wave also told me that they want to make the next war, which would be this. They're both hazy maybes, but I'll work on them.

[Ice Nine]

Sir, I am offended and hurt that the U3 is not invited. I knew you didn't want us in your house any more after what we did on Saturday night to it.

[Talio]

Damn it Split. Thanks for stepping on Gears and my PA war plans. I'll probably come to this though. I don't much care where we play.

[imaseoulman]

Go ahead and put me down as a definite. As always, with my job, there's a slight chance I'll be ordered to not go, but short of that, I'll be there. The field looks awesome!

Now to find a +bow...

Shit balls man.. Shit balls.

Gears made a whisper about that possibly happening sometime; other than that, I knew nothing of it. Regardless, NJ NERF FOREVAH.

[TED]

I WANT TO GO!

[bpso86]

Who I'd definitely like to see, but haven't heard from yet:
Gears
Famine
Slug
BPSO

Awwwww.... <3

In case you guys were wondering where I've been, I was planning on going to DEAL this past weekend, but had some unexpected events occur... one of which involved a family member and the hospital Friday night, so... needless to say Nerf took the backseat.

That aside, I will most certainly try my best to make this one. I think I'm autocrossing in Williamstown on Sunday, and if so that will be one hell of an awesome weekend. Looking forward to it.

They're both hazy maybes, but I'll work on them.

Zis soundz kinky, no?

[Gears]

I'll be there. Albeit a little late. And by a little, I mean like, after lunch <333

[Jlego]

Don't worry Split, I'm gonna kidnap Gears and make sure he's there on time, i just need to borrow Andre for a couple hours.

Also planning on going to this.

[Death]

I am, unfortunately, a no-go for this war, as I have a Judo tournament the following day.

[Famine]

Count me in.

[One Man Clan]

How am I a definite?

[Split]

How am I a definite?

You're not, yet. Are you getting you and TED mixed up again?

More importantly, are you coming to fuck it?

[Famine]

So what is this, two weeks out?

Looks like the Attendee List is at 8 people - any of those 'Maybes' care to make up their mind?

Oh, and ........ *Bump*

[Split]

Yeah, I was in the process of updating the thread this morning when my laptop battery died. Complete mystery. Anyway, the details are pretty much fleshed out. Looks like 10 definite, and one of the maybes is very likely to make it.

Changes to note:
I'm bringing lunch
No gun bans (dart weight restrictions stand)
No limits on hoppers
Location is officially Landis Park

I'm working on a DTC type round, but I'm not sure how it'll go with this amount of people. You guys have any other game types you want to try out? Nerf Arena? Team powerball? Carpe testiculum? CTF?

I sent PM's to the people I haven't heard from yet.

[zach attack]

I would like to try that Ghost round we played at Gear's war. It seemed like it would work with about 10 people.

[CaptainSlug]

I won't be able to make it.

[ThatWasRandom]

Who I'd definitely like to see, but haven't heard from yet:
Ash
Kuhlshrank
Skitzo/Titankid
OMC
DX
TWR/Jon

Whoa, people remember who I am? I'm touched. I'll be there.

TWR

[badger]

Split, you can put me down as a maybe for now. I need to see if I can arrange a ride home from work for my wife.

[One Man Clan]

I will not be there. I will be out of town that weekend.

[Muttonchops]

Soooo, I'm going to be in Jersey the night before for a bachelor's party, New Brunswick to be exact. However, there are no trains that can bring me down there the following morning. Will any war-goers be heading through/near New Brunswick and be willing to give me a ride to the warsite?

[DX-Robert]

I am available that day...but I'd need a ride out of Washington, DC.

If I am going I can easily head down through New Brunswick. I'll know by the end of the week whether or not to count on me for a ride.

Solid Badger, that would be a huge help. Much obliged.
