Halloween is almost upon us and within a month, Ohio University will be overrun by zombies. That's right, two to three hundred OU students will spend a week playing HVZ. The dates are October 23rd-the 30th. It's a week of nerfing goodness and it's tons of fun.

Why am I posting about it? For one thing, everyone is welcome, so if anybody in the Ohio (or wherever actually) area is interested, you're welcome to come down for a night or even for the whole week. Most of the action does happen at night and I will update this thread with mission info once we have it. If you have any questions, PM me.

Secondly, if anyone does want to come, I'm opening my doors to anyone that wants in on the action. You're welcome to stay at my apartment for any amount of time during the game if you want to make a trip out of it. I've got alot of space.

The rules to the game are posted at http://www.hvzathens.com

Finally, I leave you with some pictures from our previous games, along with a "trailer" that was made for a mission we had two years ago involving defending a large hill













Let me know if you have any questions too. This is pretty much the highlight of my fall quarter every year and we'd love to have some more brains...er.. players.

FYI, my moms works down in athens, at OU. I may be able to come down for a bit. I don't know. It would be fun to meet people where I plan on going to college. For free. Take that. Bitches [/gloat]

EDIT: any limits on weapons?

I'm only 17, and I don't know if my mom will let me drive down to play with guys older than me in a weird environment, but I'll let you know. Would it be alright (I mean work in the scenario) if I came Friday around 6 and left Saturday midday?

Since it's 24/7, will it be more like you college guys living your normal lives just playing Nerf occasionally, or pretty much all Nerf?

I saw any foam projectile is allowed, I'm assuming Stefans are alright then?

I might try to join after the Tipp City NO. Depending on whether or not parent wants to bring me. If I can make it, it will be awesome. If I can't, I will cry past the exit. Think you will be doing stuff at 4-7 ish?

Yeah. If you mean Friday, October 24th, though, you might not see alot of action. Normally, the first day or two are slow as the infection spreads.

Alot of us travel between classes and such with nerf guns out and ready. There are alot of small skirmishes during the day, based on who you encounter, but at night is where the real battles are.

Yes, stefans are allowed, although I think most of the admins would prefer CaptainSlug style felt and washer stefans versus hot glue domes.

4-7 will be a fairly dead time as people finish up classes for the day. Probably not much going on. Also, Tipp City is about the same distance from Columbus as Athens, so I'm not sure how you would pull that off easily.

Is there going to be any video of major events? Video of a battle involving hundreds of people would be positively Effeminate.
