Water Warfare Event Announcements
Re: Water Warfare Event Announcements
Welcome to the community! Soakemore is the next event coming up, but we're still going through some organizational issues trying to decide the date for it. Check the thread and chime in on when you can make it.

Re: Water Warfare Event Announcements
It was fun. Thanks to chivesthechimp for hosting; too bad nobody else showed up. I have come to learn that people in general are very unreliable.
We did four 1HS games, played basically until we ran out of water. Two 3v3s and two 2v4s, where DX and I fought everyone else. We had to fight in the same place the whole time though, because it was one of the only woods areas that wasn't fenced off, and there weren't too many people there. We also needed to watch our stuff. The park was pretty crowded, which wasn't ideal, but it was still fun. I also got to ride the subway system for the first time, haha.
I only got one picture on my camera, a group photo. I learned that it's not a good idea to try fancy footwork on a wet surface. If you ain't bloody and muddy by the end of the day, you went to a Nerf war.

Hey Guys! Is anyone here planning on going to the Central Park Soakfest on the 25th? Also, Rob and Brandon, are you guys still planning a Bronx war or has that idea been replaced by the subterranean war?

Re: Water Warfare Event Announcements
I'm trying to save money so I don't think I'm going to the soakfest. As for a Bronx war, that was Rob's idea so I don't know much about it. I'd think that there wouldn't really be any room for it unless it was combined with Frozen Fury or something.
Speaking of the cave war, would you be interested in coming? I guess someone would have to pick you up though.

Re: Water Warfare Event Announcements
I would but I'm not sure because I'm scared of dark and small spaces. Are you guys going to go really deep inside the cave?

Re: Water Warfare Event Announcements
Oh, then perhaps you're better off not coming. We're going to be going in pretty far, and it is pitch black in there if you aren't near an entrance. The only illumination will come from glow sticks and some lanterns (everybody gets a flashlight too). It is pretty wide open, and the ceiling is like 15-20 feet high in most parts, so there are really no tight spaces aside from the entrance, where you have to squeeze through a cellar window-sized hole to get in. But I don't have claustrophobia so I dunno under what circumstances it kicks in. But if you have uhh...darkaphobia? I wouldn't recommend going. Edit: I guess nyctophobia was the word I was looking for. :p

Re: Water Warfare Event Announcements
My parents just stumbled upon this:

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 as epic as Soakemore, but given that I live here, I am probably going to go. Not about to try and drive down there, but I'm sure going to get some strange looks carrying a CPS 2500 on the Subway...
