Amtgard event0- Salt Wars IX- May 26-29th- Provo UT

Postby Loptr » Sat May 14, 2011 6:07 pm

Just a quick heads up.

Salt Wars is coming up again. We have seen some consistent Bel crossover over the last 4-5 years. Especially at the night time lit ditching.

What: Salt Wars IX
Where: Provo, UT
When: May 26-29th

Troll will likely be about $30-35 and this covers every meal for the entire event.

I would love to swing foam with all you crazy cat.

We tend to have a reasonable Bel presence show up for lit ditching and fighting.

I'll be there. I'm not coming for the lights, though. I still think night fighting is a bad plan. Too drunk, not safe.
Yeah, I know, dry site, blah blah.
Anyway, everybody come to this who can, it's gonna be fun.

Will be there for the ditching and good times. Not to mention the heckling.

I was profoundly unimpressed.
I was there from noon until 6pm and no fighting took place.
There was about 2 hours of ditch battles with 8-10 people. That was sort of fun, but as a two handed sword guy, ditch battles are just gay after a while.
There were NO large battles at all. There was a small time role play thing happening for half the afternoon, but it really only occupied like 10 or 20 people at most at a time and every one else just stood around.
Ditch fighting at night, like prison soup and unit trials, do not an event make.

Yeah Fork I feel you pain. I appreciate you and Mary showing up.

I felt bad for you with these 5 man team quests. As a ditch monkey I dont really pay attention to the big battlegamreplans. If I had I maght have been able to warn you about the flavor of this years event.

I was surprized ditching was almost exclusively single blue, usually its a mix of everything.

The event went really well and the majority had a great time. The guys that lust for large chaotic battles were certainly left unfullfilled this year.

The 2 other time I came to Salt Wars, you guys spent most of the day fighting a seige battle of the castle. Like constant all day large group battles where you could just get on one of the teams and regen till you puke. THAT **** is FUN.
This year, clearly there was some gay story being played out.
If you go back to the big battle thing, I'll give it one more try.
