Time: 11:00am - 5:00pm
Location: Columbus, OH
Venue: Goodale Park
Facebook page: https://m.facebook.c...157733878011101

Join me for a fun day of Nerfing, with scary good games, raffles, and all manner of creatures from your very worst nightmares.

This event will be open to all classes of modified blaster, from super stock to homemades. There will be plenty of opportunities for users of stock blasters who are new to the hobby, as well.

 

Ages: This is aimed at players 13 and up. Anyone younger than 13 must be accompanied by a PLAYING ADULT. This is a war, not a babysitting service.

Potential game types:
3:15 Deathmatch/TDM
Carpe
CTF
Zombie Holdout
Payload
Wingman
VIP
Defend the Core

Darts: Both stock and homemade darts are acceptable. NO EXPOSED METAL. There will be a community stock dart bin, but bring your own steams or preferred dart type.

Ammo larger than a Mega dart (3/4" diameter) or a HIR may have special rules in certain gametypes. E.g. Titan Missile hits take all lives, arrows and missiles are worth extra points in Defend the Core, etc.

Restrictions:
-Most blasters should be fine. Any air blaster larger than a Big Blast must fire at least three darts at a time, or large ammo (ball, missile, etc).
-You must be willing to be shot point blank with any blaster you use.
-Eye protection is MANDATORY. Bring some with you.
-Respect other people in the park. This is a public area.
-Nothing that looks realistic and is liable to get you shot.

DON'T BE A DICK. HAVE FUN!

Post it up on Facebook too so it's easier to share amongst some groups. Also, what kind of attendance are you expecting? Anyone from CANE? I might make the long haul down there as it's been a while since I've played.

Edit: +1 bailed, I think.

Sorry, I'm still going nuts between long work hours and moving. I'll get an event on Facebook ASAP

Superstock or NIC/DIY?

Superstock or NIC/DIY?

All of the above. Updating on my work breaks.

[Buffdaddy]

I updated all the info to include actual event information. Also bumping the thread due to NH being down for so long.

[RZRider]

Could you do stock? I am asking for my cousin. He may want to go. Also, is there a needed age?

Edited by RZRider, 03 October 2016 - 04:40 PM.

[Buffdaddy]

There are several game types that lend themselves well to stock blasters. He's more than welcome to use stock - the ranges and rate of fire are far better now than they were even a few years ago.

I will have several loaner blasters as well, and will use a few stock blasters myself during the day.

Okay, cool, thanks for letting me know. Um, can you please tell me the age limit?

Hey! This seems cool! I might actually go to a war FOR ONCE (angrily stares at a map of michigan)
Also, getting shot point blank is gunna be really tough for me, but nice rule. I might shoot myself for conditioning before this (i'm actually not going to do that. I'm mostly sane)

Also, is it okay to bring some non-modding plebs along? I will only give them stock blasters and I will give everyone permission to shame them for it. Hope I can come

[RZRider]

I'm probably gonna go. Sounds like fun. I just wish it was a little bit later since I'm working on my first primary mod, and it may not be done by then. I'm PRAYING it will be though.

Do you know what the predicted attendance is going to be? Because ironically, this war is my bday and I might drive the 3hrs to come here if attendance is high enough

Hahaha, it's the birthday for one of the Cincinnati nerfers, too! I'll try to remind various people and post an initial attendance list after work, either today or tomorrow. Still two weeks out, but having a nice list encourages turnout.

[C-A 99]

I confirmed my attendance. I need to buy quite a few things while I'm there as well as put a few blasters through proper war testing. Will likely have a +1.

[RZRider]

Are their gonna be loner darts/blasters?

[The2ndBluesBro]

Are their gonna be loner darts/blasters?

I hope not. My blasters get pretty sad when they're alone.

I finally updated the attendance list. Will do some more invites/reminders to better confirm things.

[RZRider]

What approximate time will it end?

Running time will be 11am to 5pm. Moved it back an hour so that some people farther away could make it. After 5pm, we'll clean up our area, then hit somewhere for dinner

[Buffdaddy]

It looks to be a clear, if somewhat chilly, day for Nerf tomorrow! Hope to see some of you in Columbus at 11am tomorrow, Goodale Park!

[RZRider]

I'm gonna be there, although somewhat late. Do you have loaner mega darts?

[Buffdaddy]

I woke up late, and had to throw things in the car. I don't think I have any loaner Megas on hand

[Buffdaddy]

Event cancelled. There simply isn't anyone here, so no point in doing the war. I'll stick around in case there are people still in transit, but the rest of you need not worry.
