Gamefreak, 26th seems lame to you because?

Does anybody else have a problem with the 26th? How about the 22nd? If you don't speak now your opinion won't be considered.


Anya, where do you live? The school is about 1.5 hours north of SD proper, I believe. It's in Irvine - I'll post up an address and directions in a day or two. Mapquest doesn't handle the school's address very well but I'll do a screencap and move the star to the right place and post it here.

i'd rather do it the 26th than the 24th, but i think i could work either one in - i might have to leave a little early if we do it the 24th.

[Gamefreak]

Well I'm usally up "late" on Christmas, and on the 26th I like to sleep in and play or use whatever I got on the Chirstmas. Also the 22nd will also not be good for me due to it being on a weekday. So basically anything thats on a weekday won't be good for me. But plan as you will.

[neonerfer]

22nd would work better for me.

[cxwq]

So you're saying that if it's the 22nd you'll definitely be there?

If so, then we'll go with the 22nd. Spoon is fine with that, I am fine with that, Ray is fine with that, nobody else has mentioned any specific problems with the day.

In regards to the 22, most likely I can go...but I may only go for part day, or full day. I have guitar lessons on wednesday, and I'm fixing up tunes for some gigs so...meh. I'll either skip the lesson (which is most likely) or I'll miss the war (highly un-likely). Count me in at the moment, and I'll talk to my "peeps" and convince them to let me go.

22nd is far inferior to the 26th but i'll be there.

[cxwq]

Well then, that settles it.

We will have the war on the inferior, but otherwise agreeable 22nd.

A Wednesday.

10-5.

Venado.

Don't piss off the rain gods.

[AnyaSeijin]

26th, 22nd, or 23rd sounds like it would work best for everyone. I'm thinking, persinally, I would prefer 22nd or 23rd. I would deffinetly prefer BEFORE Christmas. I mean, how many of us get guns in those days (24th-25th)? lol.

Crap.

Steph probably can't come on the 22nd but could come on the 26th. I can't find if this year's winter solstice is Dec 21 or 22. If it's the 22nd then she won't be there. I can still make either date. It seems I'm too late though, so I'll talk to her. I need to check the boards more often.

so she's some sort of snow-sorceress? i can just imagine her in a horse-drawn carriage out in the middle of Narnia, luring kids to their doom with Turkish delight.

[Spanky]

Just wondering, when you say Venado do you mean the city of Venado, or somewhere else? I looked up Venado, CA on mapquest and it's quite a long drive from Ventura to Venado.

[cxwq]

You'll want to be looking up Irvine, CA.

Venado is the name of the school.

I think it's about an hour drive for you.

[Gamefreak]

Well, definately count me out. No way to get there. Oh well, maybe next time.

[Moose Hunt]

How far is Irvine from San Francisco?

[cxwq]

Mapquest say:

Total Est. Time: 6 hours, 29 minutes Total Est. Distance: 424.36 miles

You know, it only takes a second to type "irvine, CA" in the box...


Falcon makes me giggle.

[silent mercenary]

I haven't been on the forums in forever! Its almost like coming out of a deep sleep. Well anyways, I think that I could make it on the 22nd, its been so long since I've been to a war, time to start wiping the dust off...

Edited by silent mercenary, 09 December 2004 - 01:49 PM.

[cxwq]

You'd all better fucking make it on the 22nd. We haven't had a war since Armageddon!

SoCal has lost its spot at the center of the nerfing universe. Now it's somewhere in a goddamn New Jersey suburb. Pathetic.

[AnyaSeijin]

Alright. So 22nd it is. That works well for me. And freakin A! I need an address! lol. Please?

So what kinda weapons am I gonna be lookin at? And get shot with? I'm curious as to what people plan on using.

[silent mercenary]

People use pretty much everything, except homemade guns...

Edited by silent mercenary, 12 December 2004 - 02:26 PM.

[AnyaSeijin]

Why were they banned?

[FIDO]

Why were they banned?

Because they aren't technicly(sp?) nerf guns. Also have you ever been shot by a powerful homemade? It isn't fun.

[cxwq]

As a way of controlling power, no more, no less.

A homemade can be made to produce relatively arbitrary velocity. Modded Nerf guns are much easier to categorize.

We allow anything that is powered, be it air tank or plunger, by a Nerf or Nerf-like part except where noted otherwise.

We specifically disallow brass/PETG/copper sm5ks.

We will probably add Titans to the above if they are as capable as sm5ks.

We allow stefans that have relatively spherical weights that are completely covered with hot glue tips. We specifically disallow tacks, screws, powerloads, and anything else that would be particularly dangerous if it came free from the FBR during flight.

We require that eyewear be used at all times during a war.

All of the above is aimed at making this a relatively safe and fun sport for all participants.

[AnyaSeijin]

...Well, thats great and all. But I still don't have directions.
