They're dead because only the west side people made it out consistently.

brom and myself are starting friday practices in the greenwood area, starting at 3 or 4( ending pretty much whenever people need to leave i know ill probably stick around cause im always sitting around full of energy after practices ><) , its still in planning stages, im bringing in a lot of people new to dag and larping, very interested, the only real problem is the shortage of weapons we will have. it would be great for some more experienced members to show up as i myself am new and wont be able to explain everything, or answer alot of questions. if you know anyone who is interested feel free to bring them by.
aslo i have a few questions, 1. is it cool if i make flyers and put them up in places larpers would attract like comic book stores maybe gamestop and whatnot. and 2. i know alot of people wont be able to make foam swords, or their weapons when they first start but ive seen the nerf swords are about 10 dollars , im not sure if those are to dag specifications i know they are alot smaller than the swords but its better than nothing unless we have some skilled blacksmiths at the practices that we can just have them go out and buy the supplies and show them how to make them there, that would be awesome. anywho yeah ill keep everyone posted on whats up with friday practices, please post up here if your interested and add me to face book and send me a message rustypancakes1990@yahoo.com

Nerf swords are not legal foe many reasons, 1. they are not wide enough on the striking edge 2. they are not wide enough on the non striking edge 3. the core on them extends maybe 6 inches into the blade, and the rest is foam a. this causes them to fail for flex b. this also causes them to break when they strike anything with even close to sufficient force. To be honest if I ever saw a nerf weapon come through check i would not test it at all and just fail it, they have no place on the dag field sorry man In addition: Make some loaner blue swords yourself. There's simple tutorials online and if you run into trouble you can ask folks on here. As for other weapons......if they're new its best to simply explain the basic rules, taking hits honorably, show them how to hit safely with a sword and then let em loose on each other, under supervision.
