We haven't set all the details yet, but we'll definitely be playing some CTF. Other formats and specific rules will be forthcoming.
Generally speaking, mods are okay within reason (probably no singled Titans), but no homemade air guns. Homemade darts will be permitted, but will probably have to be soft-tipped. We MAY restrict mods to Saturday night, and if we do, we MAY permit regular glue-tipped stefans.
The nerf wars are part of UBCon XXI, our annual gaming and anime convention. Con admission is $20 for all three days or $15 with pre-registration starting January. Confirmed convention guests include Voltaire (the musician, not the dead author), Keith Baker, creator of the Eberron setting for Dungeons and Dragons, and Zombie Buddy Productions, who run awesome LARP events featuring Nerf weapons. Events include all manner of games, from RPGs to classic video games to LARPs, an open gaming area to rival cons ten times our size, and twenty-four-hour anime showings.
In the next few days, I'll be filling in some of the details and hopefully adding some pictures of our Student Union building, which I am convinced is the most awesomely perfect nerfing venue known to man. I'll also add more information on pre-registration as it becomes available; the nerf wars are our most popular events, and we have to cap attendance at around 100 per night, so we recommend pre-registering to make sure you get a slot.
