FFP=Foam fortress pro

A game mode made by Chad.

Heres the rules: http://www.foamfortress.com/ffp-rules.html

TDM: Is team death match. Just the basic team battle.

There is also a variation called Foam Fortress Lite which uses stock guns, don't get them confused

Do we have a weather forecast for Sunday?
Dont want my new blasters getting wet!

That's true, I hope it's going to be a nice day.

It's Melbourne weather, you will not know until Sunday morning.

I think I may have jinxed it. I would never have had this problem if I was living in Sydney.

Lol Keilor in particular is set to have 13 as a max at the moment.

You never know down here in Melbourne..........EVER.

Unpredictable weather is a small price to pay for not having to live in sydney though.

We definitely need a "like" button!! haha

You used to like Sydney, SS. You miss it. You said it in chatbox.

P.S.
We get pretty unpredictable weather too.

Haha, trust me, once you have lived in Melb, you wont wanna go back to sydney. Yep i've lived in sydney. Actually i've done the whole east coast.

If you come back, you'll be pretty dominant with your octo

So what are we doing for lunch on Sunday?

I can put on a BBQ, Only if there is a BBQ in the park.

It would be say $5 a head for all you can eat and a can of drink.

BBQ sounds great. Is there anything close by?

Not familiar with the area.

I don't believe there is a BBQ. I'll scout again tomorrow to find out.

This is part of the reason why Brimbank Park would've been great.

No BBQ's around there mate. There are plenty of cafes a few minutes away or theres a soccer club down the road where you can get food.


Check my sales thread if you want anything from me at the war.

Oh SS it is Friday I am awaiting your verdict lol.

Brimbank city council web site tell the do have BBQ's at the park so I don't know where you got your info from?

http://www.brimbank.vic.gov.au/page/Page.asp?Page_Id=479&h=0

Brimbank says a lot of bullshit, therefore I took the initiative to scout the location again.

• There are provisions for a BBQ on the first left of Stadium Dr where the playground is.
  
  
• The cafe will not be open on Sunday. Therefore, if you wish to hold a BBQ, Cam, that would be greatly appreciated.
  
  
• I need you, Matt, to help me find the restrooms as I was unable to find them during my scouting. If there are some in your soccer club, I'd like to know whether they will be open for general use for us.
  
  
• I will update the details by tomorrow afternoon to double check everything is in order. This may include any changes regarding meeting places, gametypes, and wares.
  
  
• Heavies will not be permitted at this stage until the actual day when we get to test them out. I'd like to see whether the sharpshooter blasters can still hit their 160' flat threshold with regular stefans and heavy silicon tips.

Please stay tuned for further notice, and stay sharp. We're nearly there...

Okay peeps.

The google map is a little old and there has been some development in this area. I have put in some shitty lines to help explain.



Blue= War location
Red= Restrooms
Black= New development

Toilets:

Site A: In a tennis club. They do have restrooms there all you need to do is walk into the building and ask.

Site B: These are toilets inside small portables on the way to the new synthetic soccer feilds. The black line above it is the new carpark. You will need to travel by car to the carpark and then about 50m by foot.

Site C: Inside a soccer club. Dont take all your gear with you as there will be public spectating soccer matches.

I don't play for the club but I know for a fact the will allow public use.


If anyone needs a better explanation PM me or post here.

This is what I will be selling at the war:

2x 6 Dart clips $6 each
1x 18 Dart clip $17
2x LS Scope $5 each
1x Modded NF with Hep20 barrel $16
2x AR LSFG $14 each

Possibly more to come.
PM me and discuss.

I have finalised the details which includes a change in the meeting place. It would be greatly appreciated if KingCam can organise a barbie, but I'll leave that to his discretion.

There's not much in the way of understanding the rules. I will be discussing to you all on the day. However, for the more advanced gametypes if you haven't already clicked on the links Matt has provided, here they are:

• Foam Fortress Lite
  
• Foam Fortress Pro

And with the exception of HvZ (you will be shot if you mention this gametype), if you wish to discuss playing different gametypes with me on the day you're more than welcomed to.

Now I'll wait for my Max Shot to cure...

LMAO regarding HvZ. My god i'll run if i hear that!

I will be doing a BBQ for Lunch.

I just need to know if any you are vegetarian?

So can everyone please bring $5 each to the war tomorrow to pay for lunch.

Regarding tomorrow, I may actually be able to attend. Depends on what time I get home tonight. Definitely a chance of showing up late though, gotta take 2 buses.

Cam you know that Renee is a vego.

Psykka wrote:Cam you know that Renée is a vego.

Yes I do know that Renée is Vego, I was asking to see if any more vego were coming to the war.

Should be there tomorrow

I'll be about 20 minutes late and leaving at 12:25.

So don't wait for me in the carpark just start warring and I'll join in when I get there.
