If homemades aren't explicitly banned, I might be there.

[LiterSize]

Of all the stuff you may/may not bring, don't forget a pistol too! Pistols on playground has been pretty hilarious in the past. Also, as far as what makes it a pistol use your head. If you'd use it as a primary too, probably not a pistol. More on that later if there are really any questions about it.

I would also like clarifications on homemades, since that's all I use nowadays.

[Snake51886]

Hamps and their variants are banned. Hoppers are capped at 4 +1 chambered. If something is excessive and/or poses a potential safety risk, I'll spot ban it.

We have a group kids <13 years old that nerf with us. I want to keep it safe and family friendly. Please avoid using dart shooting +bows, Cobras, and stuff like that. Ballguns and ball shooting attachments are always welcome and encouraged.

If you have a specific question, please PM me or post it here.

[hummer]

I'll be there

[Daniel Beaver]

I am, unfortunately, committed to another activity on that day. Snake, I'll try to make it down to one of your wars this summer. It's been too long

[Snake51886]

The war is this Sunday. Weather forecast looks like around 85 degrees and partly cloudy, with NO chance of rain.

Hope to see everyone there!

[louiec3]

If anyone has a recon barrel attachment I will buy it off you. I only need 1.

[Merzlin]

Count me in. I may be a little late, due to a wedding the day before. Other than that, I'm looking forward to nerfing with you guys!

[AcepilotZero]

I might be there, but no guarantees.

[hummer]

FuRst

All kidding aside, great war, great people all around. I'm glad I didn't have to work today. There was much shenanigans, as there should have been in any war. There was some "grab ass time" more than I would like but it was a much needed reprieve to refluid. I also finally get to feel what it's like to finally not be responsible for hosting a war, it's so nice to not have to bring everything.

I had a blast and I hope I can come down again sometime soon!

[Merzlin]

Awesome war guys. Thanks for hosting it snake!

Pros:
+ Meeting new people like Hummer and louie! You guys are awesome.
+ Seeing new, young faces being introduced into the hobby.
+ Multiple instances where I'd have to use my legs to get out of a situation. Running is fun
+ Having a showdown with hummer Mid-round. Too bad we got kicked off the property
+ Not coming back with any welts!

I'm sure there's more...but I'm too tired to finish it, heh. Anyways, here's some pictures!

That's it folks. Hope you enjoyed!

[louiec3]

Holy lots of pictures Merz!

This war was well worth the drive. Contrary to popular belief down time IS necessary to rest after that much running. Unless of course you are a cross country runner.

+Snake is an awesome host. He brought us water and Gatorade. Nobody was dehydrated!
+The Rumorspreader worked.
+zombies. The humans can never win.
+lots of new faces.
+meeting merz for the first time
+There was no difference between a recon and a RFSG because you still couldn't aim.
+Mad hornet kills are more embarrassing than ball gun kills.
+that crazy jungle gym thing.
+Lightning blitzes
+no weather problems. In fact it was nice the whole day, until we got back onto the highway.

-I can't tolerate any heat whatsoever.
-exhausted by 3:00

-My Ice Cream you damn dirty apes!

This was one of the best wars I was at. Stock ammo is actually fun. I can't wait to do this again.

[LiterSize]

Did someone say crazy jungle gym thing?



Other highlights:



- Lou's ice cream was the only real casualty






It was good to meet Hummer for the first time, and Louie for a second time! Good to see you guys made it outta that nutty rain on 294. New faces, old faces, and a good time overall. We amazingly got the jungle gym and playground for a lot of rounds, which was a nice change of pace. Spot-on timing, too. I can't decide which is more hilarious about the Mad Hornet, the performance or the pump handle. Lotsa running, lotsa water, and lotsa darts flying everywhere.

[Snake51886]

First off, BIG thanks to everyone who came and help me out with this war. I could not have done it without you guys!

I had such a great time with everything, the new people for coming and nobody getting dehydrated/injured! Thanks to Louie and Hummer for coming down, it was great to see you guys again. I can't make this MANO, but rest assured I'll make the next one!

Pics and vids will be up soon, I'm still too exhausted to process all the pure awesome that happened yesterday!
