I lost my computer's hard drive last week so I've been MIA and I apologize. It looks like you already booked a room, so...if you booked a hotel room close to the actual site then I'm down.

First off, so, yes I'm down for the hotel provided it's close to the actual site in Maryland. I can pay you back when I see you.

Second off, Talio, you so owe me a steak dinner. You son of a bitch. You better show up for at least a few hours, don't go pussy on us.

Third off, I'm sorry you couldn't make it Veggie, I was looking forward to meeting you and Nerfing with you. Maybe the next DCNO? We'll have one in the spring for sure, and summer...

Alright, I havent booked a place yet, but i will tonight. Veggie being out allows me to book closer to Potomac. I will book it when I get home from work later tonight.

[Talio]

You know Groove it's ironic you say that.

I'm out for the whole weekend guys. I'm meeting a girl early Saturday night and I need to be fresh and awake. Somehow I think showing up in my nerf attire, combat boots included, may not go over so well.

So yes, I guess in a way I'm pussying out both figuratively and literally.

Sue me,

Talio.

Groove, I'mm booking a place in College Park, Maryland now that Veggie is out. It's just under 20 miles from Potomac. It's like in between Baltimore and Potomac, which works for me b/c I wanted to go to Baltimore Saturday night anyway. Although Baltimore is still like 45 mins from College Park.

Let me know if you're in. I will DEFINITELY book it tonight for good.

Days Inn - College Park
9137 Baltimore Blvd.
College Park, MD, 20740 US
301-345-5000

OR

Ramada Inn - College Park
9113 Baltimore Ave
College Park, MD 20740
USA

They are extremely close together. Ramada Inn is $54 through Expedia. I will most likely choose that option.

Hey Hersh, since you don't have to pick up Veggie, what time should NerfMonkey and I be at the Gauntlet?

[One Man Clan]

I figure Phil and I will be on the road sometime around 8, so it should put us there between 11-12 maybe.

[One Man Clan]

Hotel is booked. Howard Johnson in College Park Maryland.

[Groove]

Sorry I couldn't get back to you in time OMC, my cellphone has been MIA for the past few days and my internet just started working again. AKA, it's been pretty impossible to contact me. Just let me know how much I owe ya when I get there and I'll pay you back.

-Groove

[One Man Clan]

No problem man, whould be around 20-25 bucks. I'll let you know. Also, would you be interested in going to Baltimore saturday night? I wanted to meet my gf and some friends in Fells Point perhaps.

Head count time, who's in when?

[ThatWasRandom]

I'll be there for a while on Sunday.

..hopefully

[Sunchip]

Obviously, NerfMonkey and I will be there Saturday. I hope we can manage to get at least 6 guys. Guess we'll see...

[One Man Clan]

*bump*

Will be on the road early, should get there by 11-12ish

[Groove]

I should be there by 10, provided the roads aren't one big clusterfuck. I'll put together the teams for the first few rounds if need be. Time to hop on the road...

Groove and I are back at the Hotel in College Park. We are going to Baltimore for the night. It was fun as hell today with just me, him, sunchip, and nerfmonkey, but there BETTER be some locals tomorrow. Crank or THIRST, u better check this post. Also, Sniperdude or anyone else that posted they are coming.

[THIRST]

I coming, Dean aint.

[NerfMonkey]

Thanks guys, that was awesome. Definitely the highlight of my Nerfing life. I now understand the power of a fully modded Crossbow. I think my RF20 proved its worth.

Thirst and Crank, I wish you guys could've made it today. I'll definitely be at the next few.

[Rip32]

Wow, DCNO was realy funny even though I coulden't stick around. Now I live in VA, but I used to live in Maryland. As I am on the way, I see we only have one more turn on the mapquest sheet, and I see my old house. It then turns out the place where DCNO is, was my elementary school. Haha, that makes my day, plus I got my X bow, hopefully I will be able to nerf tommrow.

[ThatWasRandom]

Okay, I lied. I won't be able to make it tommorow.

Have fun.

[Suave]

I think it's funny that when we tried a January war last year.

No one showed.


Fucking bastards.

[THIRST]

This war can be described in many ways.

"Wow"-New York Times

"Brilliantly exciting"-Chicago Tribune

"Too cool for school"-Washington Post

"More exciting then a Hurricane"-Orlando Sentinel

Me and Dean showed up at 10, Hersh and Jordan Mosie'd in around 10:45, then Akira Chris and Juno came a bit later. At around 11:45 some basketball players were near us, having a 4v4 game. They came over, interested. apparatently, they all paintballed and/or airsofted quite frequently. They all really liked nerf. Another kid Kyle came it. This brought us up to 16 people. We had 8v8, with perfect even teams. It was beautiful. There was not a single disupute of getting hit, everyone was quite cool. There was no bitching arguing or fighting. The basketball players were also really good, so all the teams were even and challenged. It was focking amazing. Some really awsome shots. We went out to lunch, we all went to California Tortilla, and you wouldn't beleive this...My friend was the cashier and we all got free burrittos. We drove back for more nerfing, and as we combed for darts, I found $50 under the portable. Pretty sweet, I must say. Anyways, this was followed by several more hours of the best nerfing I have ever done/witnessed. Wow. Between all the nice shots and dodges...The turnout was amazing. 16 people was friggin awsome to nerf with. We stopped nerfing at 6:30. It was not dark or cold out at all. Perfect. Thanks for coming down Jordan and Hersh!

Oh, and to those people who dicked out at the last second, you just missed the best nerf event of your lives. Its a shame really, you would have had the most amazing amount of fun unrivaled in this hemisphere. Maybe next time.

Damn, I wish I could've come back for today's war. Sounds like a lot of fun. We definitely need to plan for a spring/summer war.

[ThatWasRandom]

Mm, sounds fun. I could not physically have been there. Everything fell apart at the last minute. Beh. As Dave said, maybe next time.

I just realized that I always go to a DCNO, then miss one, go to one, miss one, etc.

Next one, I'll be there. I promise.

..make it soon.

-Jon

[Talio]

Wow, sorry I missed it, but not too sorry. My date went really well.

I'll be sure to actually get some real time off for the next one. In actuality, I really wanted to nerf and was a little disappointed that I couldn't.

Talio.

[Langley]

Wish I could have made it, but right now I look like I just stepped off the set of an Evil Dead movie. "Then it came after me. It got in my sinuses and went bad..."
