Re: MOAB 2016 (Official Thread)
I'd be down for that. Currently I am busy the 16th-18th of September, but nothing planned yet for October.

Re: Water Warfare Event Announcements
My parents just stumbled upon this: https://www.facebook.com/events/1657094891209891/ Looks like someone is trying to pull of in DC what they have been doing in NYC for years. Saturday, July 9 at 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM at Harrison Playground is going to be the largest DC water war ever! Sure it wont be a...

Re: MOAB 2016 (Official Thread)
Still skeptical on the whole 24 hour war concept, but given that it could be extremely epic, I'd still like to try it. Worst come to worse we call it short after 8-10 hours, but that would still be like 4 times longer then anything we have done before. My main concern is what happens once it gets da...

Re: Standardizing Hits
Still don't really like the "if you feel wet then you are out," it's as Rob pointed out, if I get a few droplets from a 2000 on me, calling it a hit feels rather silly. I'll go with what ever system we are using at a particular war though. Even if I don't like a system, the most important thing is f...

Re: Standardizing Hits
Though it would disrupt the flow of game play some, I do like Duxberian's system of pausing the game when there is a hit dispute. Possibly it could apply only to the players in the despite, where after it is settled they must go away from action before rejoining the game. As for double kills, so lon...

Re: Standardizing Hits
I'm not too keen on any of the ideas put forward so far, though I do agree that we need to come up with a more standardized rule set, in fact the hit rules I use are a different system then what the rest of the community seams to use! I never go by the amount of water that hits me, trying to judge h...

Re: Soakemore 2016
Yesterday was awesome everyone! We played at the island from about 11am-6pm and got a lot of great rounds in. Honestly the highlight for me was probably when I shot Chief with Marauders Monster XL, he had switched for my 10K so that he could chase the remaining enemies down during the VIP round. I c...

Re: Soakemore 2016
It would definitely be a good idea for people to meet at my house, I have pushed the whole schedule forward by an hour as I doubt we will even get up until 10 at this point. Rob and the others he is driving aren't even expected in until 4am, apparently he left really late to avoid traffic, at least ...

Re: Soakemore 2016
Mornin' peeps! I'm getting ready to head out to pick up my brother; still on schedule. Scott, I'll text you if we're running late or what not. Wait, SEAL has text messaging now? Isn't that like one of the signs of the apocalypse, along with me selling my PS2 and getting an iPhone? ;) Soakemore is c...

Re: Soakemore 2016
To anyone coming arriving after 11:00pm Friday, my parents will be asleep then, so please do not knock on the door, or ring the bell, just call/text me on my cell phone. You should all have it, but if not please PM me. And in case any of you get confused which number is my cell phone and which is m...

Re: Soakemore 2016
With Rob's comments in mind, here are some additional team ideas (propose any you may have) - G) (7) Marauder, Duxburian, Tiff, David, CA99, Ben, James vs (8) Scott, Chief, SEAL, Van, Danny, Kit, Mac, Gordan H) (8) Marauder, CA99, Van, Ben, Danny, Tiff, David, James vs (7) Duxburian, Scott, Chief, ...

Re: Soakemore 2016
There seams to be some confusion on the noobs and vets round, it is not the same thing as noobs vs vets. Noobs and vets will have two teams each with an equal number of noobs and vets, only the vets will have less good weaponry. Having only noobs on one team and vets on the other would be a slaughte...

Re: Soakemore 2016
Scott, I just posted the thread to Reddit . I also added a link to direction to Sycamore Island in the first post, for your information. Please edit that as you see fit. I added it because others might not be aware of how to get there. Don't have a reddit, but the best directions I can give would b...

Re: Soakemore 2016
Marauder: To reply to your comment about light guns: I don't know what a PPB is, I might be willing to let the Gorgon and Blazer might pass as light guns if only the smaller nozzles are used, but the 600 and 310 are light guns for sure. I'd probably class the Monster XL as a medium too, it is really...

Re: New Game Mechanic: Hostages!
Took me a little while to read through all of this, I used to think it was because I didn't find just talking about water wars very interesting, but I have since realized it is because I have trouble sitting still long enough to read/write stuff. Anyway sounds like a very interesting game idea,I lik...

Re: Soakemore 2016
Seems there isn't a car I can drive at my parents' house (they're all stick shift, and I never learned that), so right now my plan is go only on Saturday. Might do Sunday too if possible, but I think I'd be stretching my luck if I tried to go then. The plan right now is to learn to drive stick so I...

Re: Soakemore 2016
Scott, can we get an official attendance list? I may just edit the first post to account for everyone. Thanks for staying on top of things marauder, with final exams I've been pretty busy these last few days. I added a few local friends to the attendance list you made. I am working on getting the s...

Re: Soakemore 2016
Well I think the minimum we would need for between island battles would be 6v6. So long as the river isn't flowing super fast like it was that one year, and there isn't too much wind, we can try it. In fact if there is wind blowing up stream it might be helpful, as it would counter some of the curre...

Re: Soakemore 2016
OK so I finally heard back from the island, the large party coordinator was out of town, but it is all good, and we have the reservation. I would definitely be open to having long night wars Saturday night, I have yet to find any really good locations for Sunday, and even if I do find something bett...

Re: Soakemore 2016
Had a lot of schoolwork lately, so haven't had time to go on here. Anyway, it seams like the application for the island party has gone through (haven't actually heard from them, but they normally only e-mail if there is a problem) so I think it is time we set the dates in stone. The war will be from...
