Hell Before Halloween: Resurrection
October 21, 2023

This event will be rain, shine or even snow.

That’s right, we are bringing back the classic Canadian NIC war that was held by Forsaken_Angel24 & K-10 from 2007-2012. Years ago they handed the reins over to Daniel Murray aka Skullface44 on Nerfhaven. This will be an old school NIC war with some new school flavour allowed.

The community centre will be the staging area with tables, power, even fridges.

There will be a $13 admission fee to attend this event. This will help cover the cost of the hall rental and the insurance.

Bless you. Spending all your time between rounds reloading box magazines brings wars to a crawl.

I would make the specific suggestion of simply not allowing players to start the game with any darts loaded into magazines, dart clips, or anything like that. I think what specifically makes detachable mags such a drag on the pace of the war is that people get some "capacity anxiety" and spend way too much time pre-filling mags. What makes inline/wyes/hoppers (and speedloaders) nice is that you can top them off in seconds, and so there's never any significant interruption in play.

Thank you. Yes  I agree. With all these off the shelf "pro grade" blasters nerf has lost a little bit of what made it so special . Don't get me wrong I still enjoy the hobby very much but I fear we may end up like paintball and airsoft were its very much "pay to play". Who ever can spend the most has a huge advantage. 

 

Unless is gets very poor attendance or post war feedback. We will stick to the no mags of any kind rule. Just some good old mods and hoppered homemade blasters. 

 

Grease up those old snaps and rainbows

No mags huh? definitely throwing back to when we used to be running BBBBs on speed loaders. I hope you can revive the scene out here.
