Cincinnati Area Nerf Enthusiasts presents,
indoor nerf at Black Ops Global Indoor Airsoft Arena.

When: July 24th 2015
Time: 11:00pm - 1:00am
Where: 11472 Gondola St. Sharonville, Ohio 45241
website for arena:Black Ops Website
Cost: $7 or $12 if you need to use the arena's blasters

Rules:

1.Safety.
Safety glasses are to be worn at all times covering your eyes as they are designed to do, no exceptions. No glasses, no nerfing. We don't care what you wear that covers your eyes, but it has to cover them enough like glasses.
No climbing, walking or jumping from the walls around the upper levels of "Fort Boldface" No Exceptions If "Civilians " come onto the play field, Call for a TIME OUT, LOUDLY, call time in once they are safely off the field. During time out, you may not move from your position unless you have been hit before the time out and are heading to clear in or are completely out. You may reload magazines/blasters, clear jams, things of that ilk.
2. Hits.
We play by the Golden bullet rule, this means if a projectile, hand or melee weapon hits you in any way(Including but not limited to: Hair, Glasses, Ammo pouches, shoulder straps, Holsters and/or Holstered Blasters/Magazines) you are out with the exception of any weapon/shield that you may have IN YOUR HAND, that is a block. If a person said they shot you then you are out. If you argue then you are both out. If you attempt to block a melee, and the player's "Stroke" continues through and hits you, that is a hit.
3. Etiquette
No firing of blasters unless in game play or you both agree to shooting at each other. If you fire at someone and they ask you to stop, you stop or get a game penalty. No testing of Drain Blasters and such on the other players, unless invited to do so.
4. Hulk Hands, Hulk Buster Hands, Velociraptor parts and the like are allowed as melee weapons. Please do not hit/stab people with said weapons.
5.Terminology.
We use toy blasters and Darts not ''guns'' or ''Bullets'' If we are playing a resurrection type game, you may use Shaman, or Witch Doctor, depending on which game it is.
6.Personal Possessions .
Don't go in someone's bag or pick up someone's blaster unless you have that persons permission. If you are using someones blaster, DON"T DROP IT AND LEAVE IT IN THE FIELD, same for magazines.
7.Dart sweep.
Dart sweep is mandatory. If you don't dart sweep you will not be allowed back the next week.
8. Ammo.
We use stock ammo and slugs for our outdoor wars, and stock ammo for indoor wars. The only darts we ban are glue dome stefans.
9a. Shields and Melee.
Shields can be used with only one of these; a sword/ hatchet/battle axe/ Thor's hammer/mace or single action pistol. The Nerf knife can be used with any combination of weapons and can be thrown.
For boffer swords, or other foam swords with a core; no longer than 42in, no wider than 2.5in at the blade, and must be as safe or safer than the nerf swords.
Largest shield size allowed is the Hyrulian Shield, as well as the largest sword being the Master Sword foam props. Both are relatively the same size as the Marauder nerf sword and Stonewall nerf shield.
For the Hyrulian Shield, it can ONLY be used with melee. The Stonewall shield is allowed to be used with melee or single shot springers.
9b. Thrown items; The only throwable items are the Z-Strike line of core-less foam toys, Thor's Hammer (The older version with the thick foam handle. Please bring these to us to ensure they're the right kind. You can be safe and cover the handle with foam yourself, but must be 1 in thick of foam) the n-strike Knife, the Klaw hatchet, and other small foam toys with a covered core. This includes homemades, but would be subject to checks.
10. Interruptions in game play.
Phone calls are to be kept to a minimum, if you absolutely have to take a call during the round, don't expect to be given "Time Out" if you are on the phone during a round, you are STILL IN PLAY. Do not let your calls inhibit the game, if you slow a side change, you will be out for that round. If you are unlucky enough to get one of those calls, just let the other team know that you will be substituting another player for him, or spreading his lives between the other members of your team. You should not let a Phone call, handicap your team.
11. Blaster colors
No all black/realistic paint schemes. You will be asked to put it away or we WILL tape it up with rainbow or some neon duct tape. This keeps YOU and US safe.
12. If an authority figure (cop, parent, etc) comes up to any member to speak to them, put your blasters down as to avoid causing panic or alarm from said figure.
13. No Marvel rules. You blocked Thor's hammer with your blaster? Good. Now shoot the guy who threw it.
14. Shields can be used as melee so long as you are not hitting the person, rather tapping them with it.
15. Blaster bans are relative to whether or not they’re going to blow holes in stock darts. Bring it and we'll test it on ya.
Obviously straight up bans are singled Titans. Everything else will be tested on its owner to ensure safety. If they can't take a hit from it, nobody else has to.

Food/ drinks: There will be concessions at the arena to cut down on the possible need to leave to go get any of that.

What to bring: Blasters that follow the above rules, friends (friends, relatives, random people you met on craigslist, classmates, etc).

What not to bring: blasters that do not follow the above rules, blasters that fire over 350 fps due to arena rules, drugs/ alcohol.

Darts: Don't bring them, we have that covered.

If you are anywhere near Cincy that night, it would be worth coming to this. We are just starting out with these folks at "Black Ops", and we need a good turn out to make it worth while for them to host us again

[chop]

I'll be there +1 +3-4 maybes

[Xellah]

Would be there if I wasn't moving that weekend.

Are you guys gonna have another park war any time soon? I like stock/superstock wars just as much as the next guy but I find outdoor/homemade wars far more enjoyable. If you host an outdoor war, I'll make the drive in a heartbeat.

[tomorrowsDarkness]

Xellah we actually do outdoor wars every week. The blasters definitely won't be stock for the indoor thing, but we can't use any variation of stefans.

Outdoors is another story. We have a war tomorrow at noon in cinci if you want to make it. I don't think I have you added on facebook, but if you're interested shoot me a pm.

As for black ops, I'll be there with +2 and +2 maybes

[Arvex]

My work schedule says no, otherwise I would have loved to have gone. I need more than three weeks notice to schedule a specific day off (especially a Saturday.)

If this becomes a regular event, then I might be able to get to go once in a while.

This sounds like an ideal event for me and I hope to make it to a future one.

EDIT: I might be able to go. I misread the hours of the event and thought it was going to be during the day. I might be able to go, but the drive is going to cut into my sleep for work the next day.

Sorry for double posting, but I have a question.

What ammo types will be provided? Just basic darts? Or will there be Titan missiles and Demolisher rockets?

Just basic darts. If you have Titan missles or Demolisher rockets you want to use for your own blasters, bring them. We may, in the future, end up having homemade versions of the missiles/rockets but as of now we're still working on getting our footing here at Black Ops. We're also going to be offering painting/mod services if anyone is interested, as well.

I only have one rocket for the Titan, so I can't justify reassembling it today. I'll pick up a few more Demolisher missiles on the way there.

I'll just be there with the Demolisher, EAT and maybe a sidearm or two.

EDIT: And a few other stock blasters.
