KG Event Finished [05/06/2011] - The next event has been updated, check the Nerf War Thread.

Why is this called Speed Foam Warfare? Just because there is artificial 'cover' placed around the field and the battlefield is small (60m by 30m)! You will have to be on your feet as staying in one place will result in destruction and massacre!

Basis

Speed #1:
Only 70-75% of your team will be on the field. Respawn rules are that when someone 'is shot', they must return to base and swap with the next person who is waiting in line for their 'turn'. When they reach the respawn point, they must tag the next person in line back into the game. Obviously, one factor for calling it 'speed' is because you must return to base as quickly as possible to get your team going. (Note: If there is large numbers - this rule will apply)

Speed #2:
Being a small playing field, you have to be quick on your feet. Staying in one place may results in a charge or rush causing a massacre (if there are a few in the same spot). It is recommended to split up to run to complete the objective while supporting your team mates through coverfire, distraction and division.

Due to the previous war - Big Blasts and Titans ARE BANNED. The battlefield is too close quarter to use any of those blasters.

Also for those who arrive at this war. It would be very useful if you could bring some cover. The more walls we have, the much more intense the game will be!

ADDED RULE: 30-40cm is the MAXIMUM barrel length for any singled air blaster.

For these achievements to work, please report to me with the victim who was sucked into getting this achievements. What do you gain out of this? Nothing really, just some fun and games :).

Looks like fun, don't know whether I'll be able to go or not, though.

When you say Titans are banned, what about un-modded Titan, and just re-barreled Titans? Because I just got one and Im itching to re-barrel it, but I could probably turn up with an unmodded Titan.

A re-barrelled Titan can hit some phenomenal ranges, and cause some decent damage. You have to remove the AR's/vents to re-barrel it, and the smaller diameter barrel builds up nice velocity. Plugging the pump really does f*** all in my opinion.

You'd do some serious injuries to people on a field this size...

If you're just using the rockets, then that is fine.

Also - if more than 20 people rock up. We will be splitting them into 'teams' so it's more easier to manage.

e.g. 24 people rock up - teams of 8.

The ones who aren't participating in the rounds will be standing on the borders to 'ref' just to see if there is any foulplay :).

Lol - we are talking about a sport that involves being shot with foam....

Haha. You forget these foam tips are 'plastic' or 'hard silicone' tips. I'll tell you what, you can feel them! Haha. Not exactly playing with super guns here. Range limit is 120ft - you can obviously tell what kind of damage they can do :P.

It's just that singled BBBBs and Titans are abit over kill for close quarters.

Yeh, I'm with you on the "no singled Titan's and 4B's".

I just amused myself reading the bit about watching out for foul-play!! Obviously there will always be clowns turn up to these things.

I'll tell you what.... lol... I'll take a hit from your TS, your take one from my LS... deal!?

Yeah unfortunately. It's been pretty good so far actually though.

The KG wars I host has it's up and downs. =\.

You should get security - outfitted with my Titan Icarus - should keep the circus members to a minimum.

So is it a deal?

Haha sure, why not! Well yeah, I've hosted the next two wars on my side. Now to just get lazy and not plan for anything till the last minute.

You've gotta love sticking to something when it works!!

The Date has been change to 5th of June, 2011 SUNDAY.

I have something to do on Saturday, so the date has been change.

Also going to add that the game type Retrieve and Retain was successful as tested at the Southside War.

What about breeched air guns, what's the barrel limit?

Photo Ninja wrote:What about breeched air guns, what's the barrel limit?

The barrel limit is 35cm. Any longer you won't be allowed to use it. Read above for that information. This is for ANY air gun.

Ok then, wait is this for all your wars?

Yeah that is for all my wars. 4Bs and Titans are banned at KELVIN GROVE WARS ONLY. Other wars I will host they are not banned, but they are only allowed to have 35cm barrels still.

Also BUMP.

Also if anybody can bring cover that would be very useful. Thanks.

Is that a new rule? I've had a 2ft barrel on my SB at a few of your wars including a KG one...

Unknown wrote:Is that a new rule? I've had a 2ft barrel on my SB at a few of your wars including a KG one...

You'll get lower range, but better accuracy with the shorter barrel. Well, that's what I've experienced with my Titan, SB and 4B...

Really? I thought it was the opposite, longer barrel better accuracy. I'll have to do some testing...

Unknown wrote:Really? I thought it was the opposite, longer barrel better accuracy. I'll have to do some testing...

It's just a safety thing as longer barrels you get more power. I was pretty sure you've been using a 1ft barrel, but looks like you'll have to reduce it.

That'd be because half the barrel is hidden inside the gun, I'll have to make a mini breech then I guess.

Unknown wrote:Really? I thought it was the opposite, longer barrel better accuracy. I'll have to do some testing...

Yeh, I've had quite a few people say the same thing. Maybe I just make retarded air guns, or it may be the crap climate where I live... who knows, but I've done repeated tests, and have produced the same results each time.

Obviously in the real world, a longer barrel on a firearm will give you better range, but there's quite a number of other factor's for accuracy (rifling, human error, weight and combustion of round etc).

Interested in hearing your results.

I'll let you know as soon as possible

Yeah same here, my barrel is only 10 cm from the original gun because 20 cm is in the shotblast's shell and water tank.

If anyone is interested on how I was planning to set out the map. This is what it will roughly look like..



I decided to go all symmetrical. If heist is able to attend we will have about two more walls. You probably saw that there are only 'two small' taros on either end that are diagonal from each (top and bottom of the map). This way it looks more 'even'. You probably noticed that I've gone for a more 'symmetrical' field so it's an even battle ground

I've decided to put two tarps where the 'objective points' (for CTF and Retrieve and Retain) so even though the respawn point is paralell from where the objective point is, you can still slide and grab the flag or box and still be able to protected by something ( small 1.2m tall wall LOL ).

If you want me to set up the map a little differently here is the 'format' of this map and you can draw it. Just note that I've specifically noted that I only have those tarps available on the formatting :).



Also, obviously this is a little off scale, but the field will roughly be 35m by 20m.

I'll need to borrow some 6 rd mags off someone at the start of the day.

Sure I also have an 18 dart mag if you want to borrow it.

You're too kind ninja.

Also updating for pistol rounds.

Pistols include the following blasters...

1. Wipeout Pistol
2. Stormfire
3. Nitefinder
4. Barricade
5. Maverick
6. Spectre
7. Furyfire
8. X-Shot Pistol
9. Tek One
10. Recon WITHOUT Stock or Barrel attachment (even though those bits are useless anyway - just trying to run with the hand gun only theme)
11. Scout IX-3
12. Speedload 6
13. Dart Tag Gun (Hyperfire)
14. Element EX-6
15. Dart Tag Sharpshot
16. Tech Target Pistol

As you can see those are your options. If you have a blaster that you think is a pistol and is not listed in there, you can show me what you got at the war. You have a wide range of options from high power pistols (NF, SF, WOP), from high ROF (barricade, Mav, Spect, etc) and low powered (Scout, DTSS, etc) - this means that even though it's just pistols, there will be some advantages over the other which 'should' encourage mini strategies. These pistol rounds will be implemented onto games such as CTF and R&R.

Also you may only carry ONE blaster at a time.

Oh excellent, I don't have to bring anything extra.

Ill come, but I might just melee though
I'll be bringing most of the stuff from my sales thread aswell, if you want to buy anything from ther, shoot me a pm and I'll put it on hold for you

Also, ninja, I got your geip for $10.
And I'll bring yours spring and the other stuff you want aswell it was thel right?

No sorry mum changed her mind I can't go to this war but will definitely go on the holidays. Sorry Mister Elliot I won't be present.

That's ok ninja, I'm not programmed to be disappointed if the cause is out of your control. I am, however, back to square one though... Need a few mags to borrow until phuong arrives.
