This posted originally on Nerf Revolution. I am re-posting this because Carakki does not have an account here. Here is the original war thread:

Florida Nerfers, it has been too long. Not since August have we gathered together to fling foam at each other, and that is simply unacceptable. The last two wars failed before they began. Not again.

This.

Is.

RSNO #2!

Date: January 15, 2011

Time: We'll get things started around 10 AM - this means you should arrive BEFORE then. We'll stop when everyone leaves or it's dark, which will probably be between 4 and 6 PM.

Location: 22nd Street Park. At RSNO #1, there was some confusion about where exactly one was to go. The address you want to hit is Park Drive & East Patterson Street, Tampa, FL. If you come in from Patterson, make a right and park at the end of Park (teehee). Here's a picture of the field and the surrounding streets:



This field is excellent, with different areas for larger or smaller groups. It features a trench/ditch/thing, a gigantic field, and a heavily forested area (main arena). Oh, and the river (can't have a Riverside war without it).

Clothing: Even Florida gets cold in January. Dress warmly - better safe than sorry, and you can always take it off later. If you must wear camouflage, please restrict it to one article of clothing.

Guns:
Bring:
-A primary.
-A backup primary/secondary.
-A pistol. A pistol is defined as a spring-powered one-handed gun that must be reloaded and primed between shots. Spring-powered one-handed guns sporting a reverse plunger may be used regardless of the number of shots fired between reloading.
Don't bring:
-Guns that shoot over 200 feet (for safety reasons).
-Homemade airguns.
-Anything liable to explode, cut, or otherwise injure other Nerfers.

Darts: Bring lots of 'em. Last time we got lucky and the park officials (or whoever takes care of it) cut the grass a few days before the war, but when we originally tested the location, we lost 80% of the darts we brought in the knee-high grass. Either way, marking your darts is highly recommended. I will be selling darts at the war.

Food: This is a bring-your-own-lunch occasion, but if enough people show interest, we might be able to pool our resources and order pizza. Make sure you bring enough liquid to sustain yourself throughout the day. I will be selling bottles of water at the war.

Melee Weapons: They must be completely covered in foam thick enough to ward off serious blunt trauma - we had enough injuries at RSNO #1. A good way to know if the weapon has enough padding is to let someone hit you with it. Nothing you bring should be longer than 4 feet - think swords and axes, not spears. Homemade shields are not permitted.

Safety:
-Eye protection is mandatory for all players under the age of 18. If you are over 18, it's your prerogative, but it's also your face.
-No 'tack' or 'death' darts.
-No exposed weights on darts.
-No slingshot-weighted darts. Slugs are preferred but not mandatory.

Money: As stated above, I will be selling darts and water at the war, and we may collectively order pizza. Please also bring spare parts/blasters to sell, buy, and trade - this will be a kind of 'swap meet' (as all Nerfer gatherings should be, I think) in addition to a war.

Misc:
-I would recommend bringing chairs and tables; there is no existing place to set up. Riverside will be bringing a table and a few chairs, but that's not enough for everyone.
-I don't care if you're 6, 16, or 26 - if your maturity interferes with the enjoyment of any other attendee in any way, shape, or form, you will be warned, then asked to leave.
-Hopper clips are limited to 6 darts (however long that may be for you). This includes any darts already in the barrel. I don't care (yet) how long RSCBs are.

Gametypes: We'll be doing all of the classics, as well as some uncommon/new ones. A quick list:
-Deathmatch
-Team Deathmatch
-Freeze Deathmatch
-Medic
-VIP
-Wingman
-Gunslingers
-Defend/Attack the Core
-Pistols
-Wildcard

Let me know if I missed anything. A running list of attendees will be kept here. I expect EVERY Florida Nerfer to show, and it would be pretty cool if some other Southeaster Nerfers came down too. Sound off!
