Add me to the stack of maybes.

[shadowkid33]

Change the list. My one extra person is a no-go, but I'm still a mabye.

[keef]

I'd love to go to this but, my parents would NEVER drive 4+ hours just to Nerf.
My mom loves cheerleading so maybe if i said it was a competition i could go....

[badger]

Put me down as a possibility as well. I missed the first one, but I will try to make this one, but no promises.

[CaptainSlug]

I will be bringing some large modular obstacles to add to the soccer field so that it's not just empty.
Should be interesting.

[chalywong]

3-4 friends and I are quite possibly coming.

[NerfMonkey]

This is the 10th DCNO and the 5th one I'm attending.

That means I'll have gone to 1/2 of them.

Do I get to be a team captain for a round this time?

[TED]

If nerfmonkey gets to be a team captain then I get to be one too!

[Groove]

When you can single-handedly wrestle and subdue 20 wild tigers, all at the same time, and possibly naked...then you can be a team captain.


-Groove

[TED]

I can wrestle a one eyed snake while naked is that good enough?

[Crankymonky]

Groove, increasing what it takes to join the elite nerfer´s team captain club requirements? I still have a scar from my bear fight. Though it really has faded a lot in a year.

[Groove]

Those bears were pussies.

And to answer your question Monkey, yes - I think we can let you pick teams for a round or two.

...After, of course, you've battled the wild tigers.

I've got off June 16, 17. Just waiting to hear what OMC's plan is for DCNO. I'm more than excited but I'm less than thrilled with my guns.

I might just go dual pistols all day...

Honestly, I was kind of a bitch last time about going to the celebrity delly. I only went b/c some asshole said I couldn't. Fixed their ass. However, I wouldn't mind ordering Pizzas from Tally-Ho this time, as it will certainly expedite the nerfing for the day.

You gotta be kidding me, if we've learned anything its that pizza is a no-no. If there's a Roy Roger's within an hour of this place, I'll come.

That'd be interesting, I've never seen someone use ONLY dual-pistols for a war. What pistols would you use?

THIRST has used dual TTGs for an entire war before I believe. Or close to an entire war at least.

Could we get some kind of idea what everyone prefers in terms of food? I think it makes the most sense to have something catered, delivered, or ordered in advance so one person could simply go pick up all of the food. There's very little that's close-by in Potomac, MD.

I'd like the Delly...Potato pancakes like nowhere else.

Then again, I could always go for a pound of Roy's Grade A burger.

[shadowkid33]

I say just get pizza. OMC's right, if we do that it will speed up nerfing for the day.

Oh, and what guns does everyone intend to use? I just want to get an idea what type of guns I will be up against. As for me, a Mgstrike, BBB, and LBB will most likely be my primaries while my NF, SF(if I can get it working), and/or Flaming Hilt's The Catch will be my secondary weapons.

[Mantis]

Although delicious, pizza leads to people walking for several rounds after lunch. And now that I've been called out for my Roy's comment, I might have to come.

[Evil]

If we move the date now I know I can't make it. June is stacked right now for events so I don't see what we would get out of changing the date... other than a lower headcount.

[Groove]

With 10 days till the war, and the refusal by many to change the date previously, I seriously doubt the date will change (short of an act of God).

This is looking to be one of the largest and best DCNO's ever. The Gauntlet might actually be filled to maximum capacity. We have a few other local options should be outgrow the Wayside site.

[CaptainSlug]

Everything is a go for the 16th. And I do have some contingencies that will allow for more players on the field.

We use whatever. There's ample opportunity to sneak around on this field and use automatics provided they shoot over 40 feet.
The compliment of weapons tends to be SM1500s, Crossbows, LBB/BBBBs, Maxshots, Longshots, and me with my weird tank setup. Bring whatever you will feel comfortable using. We might end up having another pistols-only round, but who knows.
Just don't bring anything that shoots over 120 feet. It won't get used because of the configuration of The Gauntlet and shooting any further than 90 feet makes for some dull stalemates.

[Mantis]

You guys were saying that there are backup places to play, I just wanted to make sure that's true. I'd hate to make this drive and have nowhere to go when we get chased out by the boys in blue.

[CaptainSlug]

Wayside has been the venue for a few years and there haven't been any real problems with the police or neighboring residents. Dean knows of some alternate venues in the area but I haven't bothered to ask him about them yet.
