<p>As some of you know HRTA which has been the home of Midway since its inception back in 2010 has been shut down and is no longer operating. While this is unfortunate it hasn't and won't stop us.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our next event is going to be on Feb 17th and we'll be heading out to <a href="http://www.redbarnairsoft.com/">Red Barn</a> for this one.&nbsp;</p>
<p>We'll post more details like bus times etc in the coming days but we wanted to get the word out as soon as possible.</p>
<p>See you all on the 17th.&nbsp;</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://midwaylrp.com/announce/rss-comments-entry-14896585.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Event XIII: Friday 18th November</title><category>Announcements</category><category>EventXIII</category><category>events</category><dc:creator>Gogz</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 09 Nov 2011 14:16:56 +0000</pubDate><link>http://midwaylrp.com/announce/2011/11/9/event-xiii-friday-18th-november.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">764401:8954744:13654427</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>Just a quick update folks, more details will follow.&nbsp;</p>

<p>So lets get on with this...</p>
<h2>Event X</h2>
<p>Next Saturday July 9th we'll be holding our second full day Midway event which is our 10th Midway Event overall.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Event will run from 11AM til 8PM but do plan to be on the site at least 30 minutes before that so you can register, get your character packs, weapons checks etc. done and be in the IC area at 11AM for Time In.&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you're coming along we'd be delighted if you bring along any friends, family or co-workers interested in playing along, the more people there the better. If you are bringing a new player along please have them reach out to us via the <a href="http://midwaylrp.com/contact-us/">contact form</a>&nbsp;so we can work with them on a background and character concept.</p>
<p>All further details and link to the Facebook Event are on the <a href="http://midwaylrp.com/events/">Events Page</a>.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Event X:Bus</h3>
<p>A bus has been booked for Event X.&nbsp;<a class="offsite-link-inline" href="http://www.irishgaming.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&amp;t=684" target="_blank">Forum Post</a></p>
<p>Bus will Leave from Nassau St (Outside the Kilkenny Shop) at 10:00 AM Returning from HRTA at 8:30PM.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />Cost is the Usual 15 Euro<br /><br />If you would like a Place on the Bus please email us at&nbsp;<a href="mailto:team@midwaylrp.com">team@midwaylrp.com</a>&nbsp;your phone number/email address/contact details if you have not already done so. (or you can use the&nbsp;<a href="http://midwaylrp.com/contact-us/">contact us</a>&nbsp;form).&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you've previously been on the bus and we have your detials you can post directly on the&nbsp;<a class="offsite-link-inline" href="http://www.irishgaming.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&amp;t=684" target="_blank">Forum</a>.</p>
<p>Please note until we have your contact details and you've received a reply your please is not confirmed.&nbsp;</p>
<p>First Come first Served.</p>
<h3>Event X: Afters</h3>
<p>As the last one was so successful we've decied that it would be a good idea to arrange to go for a few drinks in town after the Event.&nbsp;</p>
<p>We're still finalizing details at this stage but its likely it'll be in the same location as last time, The Long Stone.</p>
<p>If you're interested in coming along head on over to the<a href="http://www.irishgaming.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&amp;t=658"> Forum Post</a>&nbsp;details will be posted there as we finalize things (and I promise I'll try updating here too...)</p>
<h2>Rules 1.4</h2>
<p>Rules 1.4 is finally unleashed. You can find it at the site, or the direct link is&nbsp;<a class="postlink" href="http://midwaylrp.com/documents/rules-documents/MidwayRulesv_1_4_0.pdf">http://midwaylrp.com/documents/rules-documents/MidwayRulesv_1_4_0.pdf</a>. There's lots in this one, and we're quite pleased with it, so we'd really appreciate it if you'd take a look.<br /><br />Please note - these rules will not go into effect until *after* Event X. At the end of Event X we'd love it if you could hand us back lammies for sharp and blunt weapons, ideally telling us which skill you want to replace your existing one with (short, medium long) and we'll replace them for the right lammy. If there's any questions on that (like if I have Blunt 3 can I convert it to Blunt: Short 1 and Blunt: Medium 2?), pass them over to&nbsp;<a href="mailto:team@midwaylrp.com">team@midwaylrp.com</a>&nbsp;please so we don't give away what skills you have and will have.<br /><br />We'll give out Surgery Kit lammies at the start of Event XI to those with the Surgery skill.<br /><br />Armor is an exception to this. We'd ask for Armor lammies back for replacement at the end of Event XI (September. We skip August, remember?) This means you get to keep your Modern Armor for just a wee bit longer before we nerf the bejaysus out of you.<br /><br />Character creation really hasn't changed much, so no problems there.&nbsp;</p>
<p>For Discussions of the Rules please visit the <a href="http://www.irishgaming.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&amp;t=681">Forum Post.</a></p>
<p>Think that's finally everything...&nbsp;</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://midwaylrp.com/announce/rss-comments-entry-11994023.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Bus for Event IX</title><category>Announcements</category><category>Bus</category><category>EventIX</category><category>Transportation</category><dc:creator>Gogz</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 05 Jun 2011 06:39:48 +0000</pubDate><link>http://midwaylrp.com/announce/2011/6/5/bus-for-event-ix.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">764401:8954744:11695540</guid><description><![CDATA[<div>

If you're interested in reading the discussion or joining in you can read it <a class="offsite-link-inline" href="http://www.irishgaming.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&amp;t=578" target="_blank">here</a>.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Its extremely important that <strong>everyone </strong>eats and drinks throughout the day to keep their energy levels up and keep everyone playing, we don't want any player collapsing due to dehydration.</p>
<p>The GM Team will be supplying large bottles of water to the IC Area for players to drink during the Event but we would suggest that you also bring your own.&nbsp;</p>
<p>For food Paul from HRTA sells Noodles and Hot Water from the HRTA "Command Centre" in the OOC area.&nbsp;</p>
<p>We've also been told by a number of players they're planning to bring their own food to eat IC (some enterprising Players have also mentioned selling food IC).&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you're going to bring food and plan to eat IC then here's a couple of tips</p>
<p>
<ul>
<li>Repackage food for use IC. Avoid Modern packaging in the IC Area.</li>
<li>Wrapping containers in Brown Paper and Tying with string looks great and fits in to the Setting very well</li>
<li>Bring Water, we can't stress this enough. You need to Drink even if its not Sunny</li>
<li>A hunk of Cheese, bread or Fruit wrapped up makes awesome IC food</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>If you've got more suggestions why not post a comment.</p>
<p>Alcohol is <strong>not </strong>allowed on the site.</p>
<p>There are also BBQs in the OOC area if you want to cook something. Let us know if you plan to cook so we can talk to Paul in HRTA.&nbsp;</p>
<p>A Thermos' or Flask of Tea may also go down well. We've had players bring the supplies in the past and make their own Tea over a fire.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Drop us an <a href="mailto:team@midwaylrp.com">email </a>or leave a comment if you've got any concerns!</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://midwaylrp.com/announce/rss-comments-entry-10998530.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Calling all Gamers, Larpers and Airsofters!</title><category>Announcements</category><category>Event VII</category><category>promoting</category><dc:creator>Gogz</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 27 Mar 2011 09:53:31 +0000</pubDate><link>http://midwaylrp.com/announce/2011/3/27/calling-all-gamers-larpers-and-airsofters.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">764401:8954744:10946983</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>Want to Try something a bit different?&nbsp;Played Fallout to the point your fingers hurt?&nbsp;Want less shooting and more Roleplaying in your Airsofting?

<p>No Problem, Midway blends a Post Apolaclyptic setting with the worlds of Airsoft Gunplay, High Fantasy Swordplay (using Latex Weapons) and Political Larp.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our next event is Next Saturday April 2nd details are on the <a href="http://midwaylrp.com/events/">Events</a> Page.

Post it on your wall, you never know...</p>
<p>If you're already a player please send this on to anyone else you think would be interested!</p>
<p>We'd really like to make next week a huge success and we can't do that without you so please let your friends know about us!</p>
