You people...saying what the rest of us were thinking.

[badger]

Unless the person that died was either involved in a murder investigation or is a part of a possible malpractice lawsuit, there is no known religion that insists on keeping a body on ice for over a month before burial. I'm confused by this as well.

If the funeral is really in August, I am officially creeped out. Who knows...

[Mantis]

When we all find out that the person who passed away was a key player in this young man's life, and that is the reason he won't be able to find time for a nerf war, we're all gonna feel like complete douche bags.

[Fenixharth]

well it could be that the person donated thier body to science and they are doing a closet casket funeral without the body so they have some lean time or the person is getting exicuted that day or it is a figure of speech.

[shadowkid33]

Yeah, while the jokes were kinda funny, I'm going to go with Mantis on this one.

[Warpig BANNED]

Well it's an uncle and we are going up to the funeral I just wanted to say I wouldn't be able to make it.

I don't doubt it, but seriously, that's a month away. It just doesn't make sense.

[badger]

I'm not doubting the validity of it either. I just don't understand why the date is so far away. Sorry for your loss.

[Famine]

I am doubting the validity of it. Seriously, they're going to keep his body on ice for 40 days? Did your uncle give up decomposing for Lent? I know everyone is trying to be sensitive to his loss but this just doesn't make any sense. I have used alot of bullshit excuses in my time, it's a hobby that I dabble in, and while I would never use this particular excuse there is something to this that I find familiar. Much the way that Monet may have looked upon the works of later Impressionists and saw something of his own hand in the work....

Oh look, there's a gauntlet on the floor over there. How did it get there? I suppose it must have been thrown.

[cowbread]

Can I have an estimite of how many people are coming?

Yeah this is a bullshit excuse, I know everyone will call me an asshole when they realize I used an excuse and I was being a douchebag. I'm sorry for those who said they were sorry becuase you now have a right to be pissed at me. I put up a lame excuse becuse I didn't want to be bashed for not going. I'm sorry for all those who have had to miss and event to attend a funeral. I know, I had to to my grandpa's funeral and it wasn't fun. You can ban me now and shit for taking up most of this forum. Sorry for being an un-thoughtless douchebag.

I think you are about to get banned for a different reason, like say, having two accounts, if this is really Warpig and not some asshole posing as him to get him in trouble.

[Warpig BANNED]

No it's two accounts they both got validated at the same time but I never used the other one. I was being an asshole so you were right Badger.

[badger]

And to think that for a moment I showed you some sympathy, you piece of fuckin' shit! I did miss a war once because of a death in the family!

You disgust me!

Don't even bother responding to this message! You're not worth the energy it will take me to type anymore!

Warpig (in case you dropped by to read this),
You have just doomed humanity. I went out on a limb for someone who doesn't even know how to properly make up an excuse to get out of something (see: Famine's post) and this is what I get. I will never be nice to anyone I don't know ever again thanks to you. From this moment on, I shall never "pay it forward" again.

Thank you,
Heartbroken in Toms River

[Evil]

My headcount estimate right now (check the first post for the updated roster) is about 45-50. I'm speechless because I know it has a good chance of getting bigger.

[DX-Robert]

Flaming and a ban in a war planning topic, and APOC at that? Disgustful.

Anyway, I have marked it on my calendar. The question is not whether I am coming, but how many friends I can convince to come along too.

[shadowkid33]

I also suggest Falcon makes Chronicles of a West Coast Nerfer on his way here.

[badger]

I need to update who is coming with me. It will be myself, my sexy photobug Maryann as definites, as well as the surprise player.

I may also be bringing in 2 other people that have never nerfed before, but one has experience in both paintball and airsoft. He just saw the few modded guns that I own and he was drooling. To quote him, "I never thought you could squeeze so much power out of a plastic gun. I have to try this".

In the end, put me down for two definite players and two possibles. They most likely will be coming as well as they are friends of me and Maryann.

[Mantis]

This is looking to be a clusterfuck of massive proportions. The LCM is gonna have to have a meeting (we'll leave Evil out since he can make decisions on his own) and decide how we're gonna handle all you fuckers.

You read my mind. We'll have to call a diner meeting of some sorts. Business will take up 5 minutes of the meeting, snide remarks about the attendees will take up the rest.

[shadowkid33]

I have an idea. I may not be a part of the LCM, but I might as well make some suggestions.

Split us up into 2 or 3 groups, and send each group to a diffirent playing field in the park. Have a leader in each group, and have him be in touch with the other leaders via walkie talkie or something. We could do rotations around the park to a new field every other round. The only problem I see in this is we would have to lug our equipment everywhere around the park, but travel light and you'd be fine. I think that traveling light would only be a problem for Hersh though.

[TED]

I think since there might be about 50 nerfers we should just do a free for all, and everyone spreads around the park. That way instead of the usual team vs. team we could form alliances with one another. So it would be like Survivor Nerf edition.

[One Man Clan]

Why don't we let the hosts figure it out? Not to be a dick, but shadow, with one war under your belt you are hardly in a position to recommend anything.

I'm saying this right now because it needs to be said...

I AM NOT MAKING A SINGLE FUCKING TEAM at Apoc!

[Mantis]

Let's keep the suggestions to an absolute minimum, that means don't offer up any ideas unless they're good. An example of something to not suggest would be what Dark Shrimp just said. As much as I enjoy a good FFA, its a terrible idea.
