I managed to day trip Chaos Wars on Saturday.
I was very surprised and am happy to report that my stabby tips passed with none of the bs encountered in the past IE: requiring crazy soft pillow tips.
I build my swords with a layer of marine foam on the tip and was able to spend the day yelling green. As I was watching the fighting I noticed what seemed to be an unprecedented amount of green being called. All with minimal whinning that stabs were painful of discomforting. There were a number of looks of surprise as the victim realized they just got punked by a single green.
HUZZAH! Thanks to everyone that has worked toward helping the west start getting up to speed with the east in this respect.
I am curious to hear the comments of other Chaos attendees on this topic.
