20070812: Battle Testing today - ^

[isoaker]

If all goes as planned, I'll get to battle test the various 2007 stock soakers I currently have with a group of my colleagues from work. Will be interesting to see how people respond to the different types of blasters at their disposal. I intend on getting their feedback and will try to take some pics, but all depends how it goes.

Soak on!

Which soaker would you be using?

Sadly, plans went awry today... will try again next weekend.

[hydroblitz]

Oh, Ok.

[Pikey]

Did you try them?

[isoaker]

*I* have tried all the soakers, but have still failed to organize a local battle to get more feedback (and cool down, too)! Either bad timing or rain... sux...

Update: well, got delayed, but finally managed to gather a few people together on a bright, sunny day to test out some of the new stock soakers. Field testing will start in about an hour from this post. Soakers available for people to use:
Super Soaker Hydro Blitz
Super Soaker Arctic Shock
Super Soaker Secret Strike (2007)
Super Soaker Sneak Attack
Water Warriors Steady Stream
Water Warriors Tarantula
Water Warriors Tiger Shark
Water Warriors Orca

----------------------------
Participant make-up so far: 3 males and 2 females

Still have ~1 hour so I'm hoping a few more show up, but time will tell.

Update: field test over
Verdict: NO one left dry!
Game Type: Free-For-All Soakfest

Unspoken Rule: No attacking when refilling

Casualty: Water Warriors Orca trigger failed; Orca nozzle valve stuck in open position

General Thoughts: for soakfests, shot time is preferred over large output

More analysis to come...
