Are there Barricade Busters or other types of nerf gernades allowed at Armageddon?

[Falcon]

Thanks for the input, Groove!

He's right; no singled Titans or Sm 5k's. Typical play is 3-5 lives counting 15-20 for each hit. We may find some time for CTF; we'll see when the time comes. And yes, we rotate captains. Captains don't run the team or anything; we just rotate who's picking so the teams get mixed up. Who runs things during the actual game is up to your team. Typically there's no one; everybody just works together, and everyone goes home happy.

As far as barricade busters and other grenades go, I'd highly suggest you leave 'em at home. We've never (that I'm aware of) banned them, but any nerfer who's coming to this who's played before at all will tell you that it's more trouble to carry grenades around than it's worth. They'll just get in your way, and using them will take longer and have a smaller chance of success than just shooting someone would.

[Rambo]

Why are we not using 5k's again?

[Falcon]

Because they're known for firing similarly to Titans. If you just rule them out, there's less chance people will have an issue with it. If you want to bring yours, we'll have a look at how it fires and make a judgment call there. Just don't make that the only gun you bring.

[Rambo]

I don't even have one, but the only ones I've been hit with hurt less than a Maxshot and/or Crossbow, that's all.

I can still most likely go and I have several options on how to get there:

Option A: I fly to Newark airport and Hersh or Rambo picks me up from there. This was Rambo's idea, I'm not going to assume you have time to do that Hersh but if you do this would be the best way for me to go.

Option B: I fly straight out to Ontario or Glendora or wherever a closeby airport is with my brother and we sleep separately from everyone else in a hotel. This option seems to suck ass and I'd really rather do it another way.

Option C: I fly to Newark at like 3:00 AM on the morning the rest of you guys are flying out and try to get there at the same time as you, and then get on the same plane that you're taking. If anything happened to the flight I was on to Newark (if it was delayed or something) and it arrived late, I'd be fucked. So this is obviously not a preferable option either.

I'll of course be sleeping at the same place as the rest of the East Coasters if I am on the same plane as them. I don't want to seem like a dick, but I'm assuming whoever's house that is will have room for one more person.

My parents are not very comfortable with me flying on a plane by myself, so unfortunately my chances of flying on the same plane or staying at the same place as the rest of the East Coasters are slim.

Thought it'd be nice to get an overall headcount for this dealy:

From this topic itself plus some outside information, it's looking like the following:

OMC
Groove
Rambo
Kuhlschrank
Nerfboi
AnyaSeijin
Richomundo
ShatteredDreams
Nerfmonkey + 1 (?)
nerf_neil
Jon
Cxwq & Co.
Baghead & Co.
Falcon & Co.

Maybes
Nerfboi

That’s thirteen plus clan members and (hopefully) Spoon. Clan members alone from Bags’ group and mine will easily more than double that number. Cxwq, if you get hold of Spoon, what are the chances he can drag Hubbard etc. along with him?

What you really mean is clan members alone from YOUR group will nearly double that number, and If we're lucky My lazy ass crew will bring more than three people. seriously, if you get 12-15 of the Knights there like when you dragged the whole crew down to WC2, I'm going to suggest a "Knights VS everybody else" round...

Hooray! I've been added that hilarious quote to my signature, while playing with my butthole. <3 Bags.

Hey, you said it, not me...

Bring it on! *commence our getting owned*

Actually, I think our numbers are looking like the full 14 + a new guy, so you may just get your request.

[One Man Clan]

There's only one clan needed when taking on the black knights. Just.........One..........

[nerf neil]

Nothing that important, I just thought I'd say Armageddon is on 7-7-07, kind of wierd too bad it wasn't on 6-6-06.

[One Man Clan]

That would have been a Tuesday last year. And that was not needed.

[Falcon]

Just.........One..........

This is what I keep you around for OMC...

By the way...do I detect a mild hint of east coast frivolous trash-taking, senor?

Keep this up and it just might be *trailer time* again...

I read somewhere that this nerf war is going to be held in glendora, Ca. I was wondering if that was true and if it is when? I live in glendora so as long as its on the weekend i might be able to attend

We meet at 10 am. And until further notice, the location remains as follows:

CULLEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
440 N. Live Oak Ave.
Glendora, CA 91741

Read the goddamn thread, it's on July 7th.

[Falcon]

I live in glendora...

No...freaking...way...

You and I, my friend, need to have a little chat. Check your PMs.

[nerfboi]

Hahaha, Falcon. I'm going to ask my cousin if he can give me and my cousin a ride up there. But for now, you could just put my name under the "maybe" list. I'll keep in touch with you.

[ShatteredDreams]

I don't even have one, but the only ones I've been hit with hurt less than a Maxshot and/or Crossbow, that's all.

There used to be SM5Ks that could shoot in the low to mid 200's. Not sure if anybody has those SM5Ks anymore, but I was shot by one, and have been shot by the two guns you mentioned. The 5K hurt more, lemme' tell you I'm not quite sure though, how an air-powered gun shot softer then a spring powered? Maybe it wasn't just modded to the full extent.

Last year we had over 30 people I believe, but we didn't run multiple games simultaneously. Two team captains are chosen, teammates are chosen in an alternating fashion.

Yeah, if I remember correctly it was because of the Armageddon from the year before you attended. When we were at 46 people, something like that. 20+ people teans really just get unmanagable.


Aight, now the main reason of this, can someone throw Jon on the list? He told me he'd get off his lazy ass to attend the war. So, yeah, cool.

[ShortShit]

I may be down friends. It has been a while -have all the rest of the vets vanished?

Z

[Rambo]

As usual, I can't speak for Cali people, but I don't think any EC vets have really disappeared. The only ones that come to mind are Talio and the LGLF(lest leftnut). That's really only 3 people though...



Good to see you back.

[Falcon]

Cxwq, Spoon (if Cx can nab him), Toj, John, and a few others you know will be there. I can't say for sure about Seijin and Daniel, though. But you won't be arriving to a crowd of people you don't know.

[Groove]

Alright you ungrateful little fuckers, plans have been set into motion. OMC and I have just purchased our tickets out to the Tainted Coast and I'm crying a bit on the inside. I didn't pay as much as last year, but it's still pretty painful for a college student like myself. Fuckers.

We shall be decending from the clouds on Friday, July 6th, the day before the war - eminating an aura of 'awesome' around us.

As it has been foretold, we will have our Nerf war to end all Nerf wars Satuday, July 7th.

Then, we shall be departing very, very early Sunday morning, possibly leaving behind parts of the greater California area in rubble and ruin.


I'm going to update the first post with location & time info. Anyone pussing out at this point is going to be on my shit list.


-Groove

[Rambo]

A new thread would be ideal, I think, but whatever works.



Also, I think Hersh and I leave Sunday night. But, I liked your dreamy story, nonetheless.

Edit:
Alas, as usual, I was mistaken on some count, and we are, in fact, leaving Sunday morning.

Just bumping this as a reminder. It actually was on the 2nd page...how sad.
