WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
**** OFF

And now for a friendly non-caps reminder from your neighborhood Wolfpack member.

Here's a google maps link to where our event will be held (thanks Zeld)Horton Fieldhouse
Here is a link to where you can download the waiver,WAIVER, If you are under 18 you must have a signed and notarized copy BEFORE you get to weapons check, unless your legal guardian is there, NO EXCEPTIONS (oh did i mention you get a dollar off for filling it out ahead of time??)

Here's a list of common things people have a question about as well (just a copy of what's already been posted in the other thread)

#1 You must completely fill out the waiver, no exceptions, you don't fill it out, you don't fight.
#2 You must wear shoes, this is not under our control, the university requires it so we have to follow it, if you don't wear shoes you don't enter the field house, if you refuse to wear shoes to fight, well you don't get to fight.
#3 No fighting under the overhangs, too many people hit the lights, and I really don't want raining glass filled with mercury residue on the field.
#4 Boundaries, While we would love to use a soft edge for boundaries, there's a lot of dangerous stuff that could hurt you, from bolts on the walls to holes that could break your ankles, listen to the heralds when they say, STAY OUT OF MY BOX.
#5 No pushing/bashing people over the edge, while it seems like it may be an awesome idea, those bolts and holes mentioned above (along with tons of other hard ****) can cause really bad injuries so don't do it, period.
#6 Minimum Garb as the BoW states for anyone on the field
#7 No spectators on the ground floor, yes I know it sucks, but unfortunately we need the space down there for people fighting.

Also just like in previous years, filling out a waiver before you get to opener will get you a dollar off. We are keeping our wonderful day event to a 5 dollar fee, so if you bring a pre-filled waiver (the link is at the top of the post) you will get in for 4 dollars.

Please, please don't come in with a ton of excuses (about anything that has been posted or just general bel rules), if you can't read our rules here or the ones that will be posted at troll it's not my fault, or complain about weapons check. Just because your weapon passed at the last event in october, or you left it crushed under your other gear all winter doesn't mean we are responsible for your stuff failing, it does and will eventually fail so get over it. We check weapons not to make your day suck, but so that we are all fighting with SAFE equipment.

If you're willing to herald for 30 minutes please PM me. Your short time helping makes no one have to give up their entire day.

Thanks in advance for coming to our overgrown practice. We love the support and help that you all show by helping out and showing up.

CAPS LOCK = Cruise Control For the Awesome!!

YOU WILL NEED A STATE ID AND TO FILLOUT A WAIVER BEFORE YOU ENTER THE FIGHTING FLOOR AREA

There's a few of us Canadians planning on attending this year's WPO. What ID would be acceptable for us to offer in lieu of a state ID?

Someone from WP will have to confirm, but any government issued ID should be fine, whether that be state, province or federal.

Yes correct

And only 19 days away. 400+ ON THE FIELD last year, how far can we push past 500 this year???

Remember to read the rules, or read them and tell your friends, ignorance is no excuse.

Go Go chaotic four corner battles!!!

Is there anyone locally that would be interested in housing a stranger for saturday night? One of the new local fighters has expressed interest in going to WPO, but I'll be in hydra hotel, and I don't think he's willing to drop 80$ for a room to himself. PM me if you think you could house a dood for a night.

10 days left, you know you can't wait.

WPO WPO WPO...yessssss

Almost here.......

How soft is the soft edge? One step, two steps, a warning?

The soft edge is as soft as diamonds. We would love to allow you a soft edge, but no, given how many dangerous things there are in the field house past the edge of the world. I'm betting you would get a warning, or a herald yelling "Edge of world," but no steps. Edge of world is edge of world. Also, stay out of my box.

Not bolded towards you, but bolded because it's important to remember.


Also, on an unrelated note: Remember to bring your ID's.

Oops. Read that wrong. Thought it said we'll have soft boundaries.

How did you get out of high school peanut?

IT'S TOMORROW, MY EXCITEMENT CANNOT BE CONTAINED IN ALPHANUMERIC TYPED CONTEXTS!

Did anyone pick up a barley made red? Should have "tails" written near the bottom of the blade, but now that I'm thinking about it I'm not sure about that.
