Copied from nerf rev and I realize this is the same day as May Minnesota Nerf Outing. I am sorry for this error, but unfortunately, I cannot reschedule due to other happenings.


Ok, I've been procrastinating wayyy too much on getting this she-bang going again, so with out further ado:


Date: May 7th

Time: 10ish - 5ish

Address: Park Dr, West Allis, WI 53227 (Greenfield park, that address is for those of you who just copy-paste to a mapping site)



What to bring:

+ At least 1 pistol for the pistol rounds.
+ Melee Weapon if preferred. Your melee weapon can only be 2-4 feet long and less than 1 ft wide.
+ Enough ammo
+ Eye protection is mandatory
+ A bag lunch with plenty of water or some other type of drink.
+ Some money for buying/selling, etc.
+ Appropriate clothing

What not to bring:

- Painful darts. Only slugs and stock darts are allowed. No domed darts are allowed
- Anything that could inflict a welt from 20 feet away or closer. Have doubts? Don't bring it.
- Anything painted entirely black, silver, or any form of camouflage.

Relevant Information:

~West coast rule-set

~ Don't be afraid to ask questions! The only dumb question is the one not asked.

~ Anybody is welcome to attend, including family and friends. Said people should be 13 years of age or older.

~ If any guns have any sharp or pointy objects on it, try and duct tape it down. This is mainly for Toaster boy.

~ Barrel taps: Must tap then discharge your loaded blaster on the ground immediately after. Blow guns may not barrel tap due to this being much akin to a melee weapon

~Classes will make a return for some rounds probably:

Medic: reduce respawn to 5 seconds. Limited to single pistol/melee. Has 20 second respawn
Spartan: Only person with shield (provided). Limited to melee. 10 second respawn.
Engineer: Movable mobstacle (provided) Limited to single pistol/melee.

Possible Game-types:

Chaos/Meatgrinder/Immortal

Zombie Rounds

Defend the Core

Capture the Flag

And Just for future reference; MANO's will now run stock ammo only/no homemades in wars ending in .5, but less stringent rules for the others. I'm hoping to encourage those of you who like to experiment to still have fun, while hosting another set of wars where a kid can show up with an unmodded nightfinder can still have fun.

[Mehku]

I am a strong maybe now.

All of you guys need to come; MANO's are awesome.

[Y-Brik]

I'll see what I can do- Are we nerfing in the new location? If all works out, I'll likely have at least 1 friend going.

Nope, at good 'ol picnic area #5. Hoping to not experiment with new locations for a while unless I find something cool.

That's because Hummer's a hell of a host

Thank you for the compliment, but in reality, I just organize stuff. I wouldn't still be doing this if you guys didn't keep showing up, thank you.

But then again, we wouldn't keep showing up if you didn't do such a good job!

[Evilbob]

Put me as a maybe. Have to check schedule probably stay till 3:30.

Bigger is boring, smaller is more runnin n gunnin

[Evilbob]

But the playground was right next to the pavalin and the pavalin was bigger plus there were trees a little off the pavalin

Nevermind.

It would be nice to have some idea of attendance for the war. I was planning on attending, but I don't want to spend 6 hours driving to have a nerf war with 6 people. I know this attitude can result in a self-fulfilling prophecy, but I'm really only interested if I can get some indication that people will be there.

edit: Attendance lists aren't just for showing your popularity--It might be too late for this war, but such a list goes a long way to getting out-of-town folk to show up.

Alright, sorry I haven't been posting much for this war, I meant to yesterday but early Mothers day obligations got in the way.

Anywho, the weather tomorrow says light showers, but in the mid 50's. This war will happen, irregardless of a drizzle/anything mother nature attempts to throw at us.

I like picnic area #3 the playground is right next to tables it is bigger then the other place..

While it is closer to the parking lot as well, it's closer to the paved path and has less natural cover. Thanks though for the suggestion!

And yes, Kane, you make a valid point, I didn't feel it was fair to you guys if I had an attendance list if I knew I couldn't update it as much as I should.

This was a fun war.

+ Picnic tables are surprisingly good mobstacles
+ The weather was nice all day
+ I bought a snapbow from Louie. You should buy one too.
+ No blasters of mine broke
+ The N-Strike tactical vest is actually extremely useful, despite it not really fitting me right
+ I believe that this was the first 8-hour war that we have had.
+ Good turnout
+ Not having much to complain about
