Carakki from Nerf Revolution is hosting a war. The post is what follows.

All righty, folks, it's time for the first RSNO - RiverSide Nerf-Out. Let's get on to the details:

Date: August 7th (DATE SET).

Time: 10 AM to exhaustion or nighttime, whichever comes first. I imagine things will cool down between 4 and 6.

Location: NOT Freedom Park! Keeping in line with its name, RSNO will be held at 22nd Street Park on the Hillsborough River. The Google Maps/Mapquest address is 7801 North 22nd Street, Tampa, FL. Here's an aerial photo of the field:


The park is quite large, with a massive field dominating about two-thirds of its bulk.


The field area has a nice manhole-mound in the middle of it that could serve as a Defend the Core or Nodes point:


The northwestern border of the park is forested and holds small 'arena' pockets among the trees:




Clothing: This is Florida in the summer. It will be hot and it will be humid. Dress accordingly.

Guns:
Bring:
-A primary.
-A backup primary/secondary.
-A pistol. A pistol is defined as a spring-powered one-handed gun that must be reloaded and primed between shots. Speedloaders will not be allowed during pistol rounds.
Don't bring:
-Guns that shoot over 200 feet (for safety reasons).
-Anything liable to explode.

Darts: When we went out to test the location, we went in with a brand-new batch of 50 darts. We came out with 10. This field is massive and has long grass. I highly recommend marking your darts. Numerically, you should bring at least 100. I will be selling darts at the war itself.

Food: You can either bring a lunch or, if enough people are interested, we can pool our resources and get a few 'zas. Also, water falls into this category. Don't leave home without it. I will be selling bottles at the war.

Safety:
-Eye protection is mandatory for all players under the age of 18. If you are over 18, the choice is yours, but eye protection is highly recommended.
-No 'tack' or 'death' darts.
-No exposed weights on darts.
-No slingshot-weighted darts.

Money: I will be selling darts and water at the war. As mentioned above, we may pool our resources to order pizza. In addition, this will be a 'swap meet' of sorts (yes, Rogue, I'm stealing your term) at which people can buy, sell, and trade. Don't come unprepared.

I think that covers everything. Remember to note which date is good for you. I'll keep a running attendance list here:

So, I've noticed we haven't been very up to date on updating NH on our FL wars. Let's change that.

NOTE: WE MEET AND "SET UP" AT THE SHADED PLAYGROUND, A 30 SECOND WALK FROM FREEDOM PARK.

When: July 10th, 2010 (Tentative), any suggestions on a date?

Where: Freedom Park
Gotha, FL

The real address is 351 Thornebrooke Drive, Ocoee FL.

Who's Attending:

Maybes:

Here's what to bring:
- A few guns; at least one primary and at least one *spring* pistol.
- Ammo, and a fair amount of it. If you forget you'll have to beg or buy some
- Eye Protection, you don't bring any, you can't play
- LUNCH AND DRINKS
- The only shields that will be permitted are Manta Rays and Crossfire Shields
- The ONLY melee weapons allowed are Nerf Brand Melee weapons, end of discussion

Here's what you shouldn't bring:
- The same rules apply here as they have in the past. If you don't know by now check the other threads or PM me.

We'll play a bunch of different games throughout the day:
- Team Deathmatch (2 and 3 teams)
- CTF
- Free for All
- Defend the Core
- Wingman

Other Rules:
- Barrel Tapping is allowed however, your gun MUST be locked and loaded to tap, accompanied by saying, "Hit". I consider tapping a courtesy instead of shooting someone point blank with a powerful primary.
- A few wars I've been to has had people testing weapons by firing them at someone...If you're caught doing it I'll personally make sure you know it was a big mistake.
- Don't be a d-bag. We've had problems before with this, and if you don't follow this rule you're subject to being asked to leave.
- Do not call hits while the dart is mid-air. Say "Hit!" when you see the dart hit the person.
- Don't be negative.
- Please get there at 10. Let me know ahead of time if you live far away and traffic might change your arrival time.
- Treat sword kills like a barrel tap. Someone last war got some welts because someone else was hitting them like it was a baseball bat. Hit someone gently, and we won't have any problems.
- NO HOMEMADE AIRGUNS.
- If a gun is too powerful I have the right to spot-ban it
- No deathdarts.
- DARTS MUST BE A WEIGHTED WITH A SINGLE BB, SLUG STYLE, or 3/0 FISHING WEIGHT.
- All darts and guns will be inspected thoroughly, no jutting out spikes on guns---use your head guys, and remember that these are toys--lets keep it that way!
- Do NOT bring anything painted all black. We REALLY don't want the cops called for someones stupidity!


Questions? Comments? Post in the thread, if it's of a personal matter PM me.
