Last week’s war was an awesome start to the season! Hopefully we can keep these going every 2-3 weeks.

When: Saturday August 3rd, 2013. 8:30 A.M. Setup and geek out, foam flies at 9:00– 12:00 P.M.

Where: Falcon Crest Park. It's at the end of 4065 S
Here is a map to show where the park is relative to 7200W and 4100S
PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE NO RESTROOMS AT THE PARK!!!


What to bring:
*WATER! I’d say bring at least a gallon per person. Don’t get dehydrated! Freezing 1/2 -3/4 of it will keep it nice and cold through the war and is highly recommended.
*Sunscreen- it’s sunny, don’t turn yourself into a lobster.
*2+ Primaries- Sometimes they crap out on you
*Pistol
*Some kind of weird blaster that doesn’t shoot quite right for the awfuls round.
*Darts! All darts must be padded! NO EXPOSED METAL! No weight restrictions- but be reasonable. Also, bring any metal- free darts you have! I’m hoping to have a metal- free round or two.
*Friends- We are always looking for more participants!
* Try to bring blasters/ darts for your guests. If you don’t have enough, no biggie, I don’t mind lending blasters/ darts to new people, but please make newcomers aware that eventually they will be expected to own and maintain their own blasters/ darts. More participants are great- modders are even better.
*Loaner blasters and darts! I have some loaner blasters and a crap ton of darts, but it’s always better to have extra than not enough.
*Your B+ game and a good attitude! We Nerf for the fun of it- Not the win. We’ve never had a problem with bad sportsmanship, so I’m not too worried about this. Just don’t be a douche and have fun.
*Stuff you’ve been working on to show off!
*Cover! Mobstacles and similar items that can be used as cover would be appreciated. I currently don't have any, but I'll try to get some made eventually.

Blaster Restrictions:
*Preferably nothing that exceeds 130’ in range. Everything is pretty much on a case-by-case basis since we have a fairly small group.
*No blasters that could be mistaken for real weapons. At least have an easily visible orange tip.

Feel free to ask questions/ let me know if I left something out. Also, let’s keep this thread active and show activity in SLC!

I am a maybe. It is around 6 hours to drive there. Maybe depends on how many people attend.

Cool! Hopefully you can come. We had a good turnout at last week's war, (8 people- the most people I've ever seen at a SLANG war) so hopefully this one will be equally well attended.

I'm confirming as well. Be great to see a new nerfer or two! Wow, 6 hr drive for a nerf war? We feel special. I can relate though, I've driven 10 to make it from SLC to Armageddon. A good, well attended war is worth it - though 'geddon had 40, and we are pumped when we get 8.

No, not this years. I attended a few years ago. Though Glory1610 and I are currently kicking around ideas of going to next years 'Geddon.

Cool! Good to see all of these new Utah nerfers lately. (At least new on the forums/ people I haven't met yet.)

EDIT 7/27/13: One week from today! Can't wait!

Alright I'll be coming! With also a likely +2. If anyone has some darts to loan for the metal free rounds, I would appreciate that. I only have slugs anyway..

Awesome! Confirmed/ Possible attendees list updated. It's gonna be an awesome war! We'd be happy to lend you some metal- free darts. (Shmmee and I are the only people currently in possession of them at this war that I know of anyway).

Sorry guys. Something happened and I can't make this war. But have fun!

Stuff happens. Hopefully you can make the next one.

Pardon the double post- I think a recap deserves it's own post.

Great war! We had 9 people show up! Tried some new awesome game types, and had a lot of fun.

Pros-
*9 people attended!
*We're getting a higher amount of actual modders, instead of just regular nerfers.
*Got to hang out with like minded people with the same (foamy) obsession.
*Crapload of fun with the new game types

Cons-
*Too short. (Time sure flies when you're having fun! Maybe we could try to get an all day war going sometime if we get enough people.)
*One of the attendees went to the wrong park

All in all, awesome time. Can't wait for the next one!
Also- Thanks to Shmmee for picking up my blasters!
