Fall 2012 Connecticut Water War

[Fishfan]

Thanks DX. I think I would pass on the steak, even if I am the first to hit Poseidon. I'm not a big fan on those meats like steak/beef/pork.
I think the main things I would do to earn the money is to mow lawns, find vintage water guns at dirt cheap prices and sell them at high ones(Unless I find a CPS 2000 MK1), and maybe walk dogs.
How do I put ads on youtube videos, and how do I get money from them? Also, how do I get more views? I'm doing something I think will attract a lot of views, but I have to promote it to get any views.

[Poseidon2000]

Post here. We'll view it everyday once if viewing means opening a new tab and letting it run 50 times a day.

[Fishfan]

I sure will, when I get the video created.

[DX]

You have to reach a minimum threshold of views. I have no idea what it is. Then, they invite you to share revenue on that video specifically. I think you use your Google adsense account to collect the money when it comes in. If you don't have one just make one, it's free.

OK, so I think I overreacted a bit when I said there was only a 10% chance I can come. I do that a lot, I have a rather catastrophic way of thinking (at least this time no cliffs with out guardrails or gasoline trucks where involved!) Probably a 70% chance right now.

Duxburian: I'd rather not have you come down here to get me, it would be at least 12 hours round trip and I don't think I could ask you to do that, even if you want to.

I am now much less worried about school, I've been so worried that I have been doing "poorly" that I never even checked how "poorly" I've been doing. I've not missed an assignment yet and gotten good grades on all of them!
My dad doesn't really want to think about the trip right now (he's just had a bunch of dental work done) but he says he might decide to take me later. I've even been considering the possibility of driving myself. No matter what I will have to miss school Friday so if I left early I and slept in the car at a rest stop halfway up I could probably do it. Especially if I stopped at Starbucks a few times for some hot chocolate! Taking the train is another possibility I hadn't considered, never taken a train anywhere before (besides the subway and scenic steamers that is) I don't think I could fit much more then my Colossus in my luggage though.

We will see, but at this point I can see me making it, but I want to wait a little before I give a definite answer.

[Poseidon2000]

Come. Driving is better IMHO because the trains are more time draining and you can't bring weapons. I'd still stick w/ bringing your best , but I'm positive Long Beach will be freezing, as it is in the morning. Up here, It's already the low 50s in the morning in the tri-state . I could see Easton's forcast on the news, It's the same as mine.



You'll do good in school. DON'T WORRY LIKE I DO. I get worried about that nonsense even though so far I have a 100 average(knock on wood.). You're not alone.

[Poseidon2000]

THIS IS BAD... There's a Fall Freeze Warning until Fall ends, and it's 52 degrees here in the middle of the day... It's DEFINITELY not going to be above 50 degrees now...

[DX]

I would not be too worried. It is still too far in advance to know the forecast for Dec 1-2. The record high is 66. I have seen 81 degrees in December before - the averages are just that, averages. Usually the warm and cold spells cancel each other out over time, so an ave of 52 usually means highs a good margin above and below it. Basically, anything could happen.

But yes, it will be cold in the morning for LBW no matter what.

[marauder]

You probably won't need more than a Colossus anyway. Consider the temperature =P etc. I'm not bringing anything much bigger than a Colossus either.

Fishfan, I'm excited about the possibility of having you on our team. If there is anything we can do to help you with your business(es) let us know!

[Poseidon2000]

Durr, my armory's small and my car's big so i'm bringing everything. :p

What's the largest nozzle setting on a collosus?

[marauder]

Somewhere between 2.5x and 3x. It's a little thinner than an XP 150's stream, but has greater stream velocity. I tested my Gorgon next to DX's Colossus, and his 2nd largest nozzle shot further than his largest nozzle - which is the same as in isoaker's review. That nozzle is somewhere between 1.5x and 2x.

I'm doing this all from memory, so DX, Scott, anyone else with a Colossus, feel free to correct me on this.

[Poseidon2000]

So my 250 would be perfect for this then. And maybe something else, too.

[Fishfan]

I was going to make a video of my CPH and compare it to the terrible Nerf SS, but as you read in my post, the bladder popped AGAIN.
Maybe I will use the collossus instead, but it isn't nearly as awesomely powerful as my CPH.

[Poseidon2000]

Patience is a virtue, Young Padawan...

[Fishfan]

Since I might be coming, and I won't ever change my mind on teams, can I be assigned to the SS liberation front?

[Poseidon2000]

Ehh... more a challenge of us...





Anyway, talk ta DX about that, but the question I want is:
WHY? for power? for winning? Sorry, not this time.

[Fishfan]

Because SS liberation front was speaking to me. (Not literally, just my gut felt I should join them.)
Anyways, as I said, I am not very experienced or athletic or have a lot of stamina (I can run fast for short periods), so it won't be a big challenge.

[Poseidon2000]

Same with me... dur... Are you older than 14? Then that's a challenge in my book.

[Fishfan]

ya, I'm older than 14. I hadn't thought of that.

[Poseidon2000]

2 of us in the SEALs are younger than 14, and maybe 3 if my cousin comes. It don't matta, we gonna win no matta wat!
