Great first war of the year, guys. We had a big turn out of people. Thanks to everyone who came. Posted some pictures for you to enjoy.
Now onto the pros/cons
Pros:
Getting out and Nerfing again.
Nerfing with old and new faces.
Getting some beige foam from Freyr.
Getting a Manta Ray from Tuna The Fish.
Getting to use my Pimp Bow
Getting springs from Taer.
Great Medic game.
Having the weather stay pretty good for the most part. It did rain a little during some of the rounds but then it quickly went away.
Seeing Freyrs monster turret blaster in person. It was quite impressive.
Cons:
Having my Pimp Bow break.
Having my 3K break.
It was fun trying new games and merging the different playing styles. I have received some feedback regarding the melee combat being
more assertive than our usual play routines. Please let me know your thoughts as we determine the direction our wars will take.
Side Note: Someone accidently walked off with my brothers Nerf Hatchet; please bring it to the next war, thanks. I also found a canvas
bag and a night finder which I will bring to the next war for claiming.
Having said it was a great first war of the year, I do have have an observation to share.
I think we really need to put an age limit in place. 13 is the age limit here and I think it's a good starting point for future nerfers.
In the past we have had young kids see us gathered and join in using other peoples blasters (mostly my stash). Last year I spent
far too much time repairing damages the "kids" did and I don't want to repeat that this year. Everyone knows my mom is taking war pictures but
unknown to everyone, she stopped a few almost thefts and missed a few slick ones. I'm not pointing any fingers and not trying to offend anyone.
I really just don't want to repeat that experience this year. I'm suggesting: Age limit 13 and must have their own blasters.
Thanks again to everyone for coming and making such a great war! See you at the May war. Lets hear your date suggestions for a Saturday in May.
