Roleplayers Seek Removal of Nerf Gun Ban
An anonymous reader writes "LARP fans at Bowling Green State University may have to contend with a crippled game of Humans vs. Zombies after the University banned Nerf guns on campus. In the live-action game, players are either humans or zombies. The goal of the game is to change all the humans into zombies, or for the humans to evade capture by zombies for a certain amount of time. To defend themselves against zombies, humans may use Nerf guns. Players (most likely the human ones) are petitioning the University to lift the ban. The game had troubles back in 2006, when participating students were arrested. That issue has since been cleared up."
Nerf guns don't kill people; hordes of undead flesh-eating zombies do.
OK, your turn.
hey, they're up and running around. they're doing their part to fight the looming obesity crisis, in addition to training to combat the looming undead crisis. =D
upon the advice of my lawyer, i have no sig at this time
no... University Students Seek Mooooore Braiiiiins!
The CB App. What's your 20?
I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire 10 nerf darts or only nine?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a Nerf Dart Tag Magstrike the most powerful nerfgun in the world, and would tickle your nose with a perfect shot, you've got to ask yourself a question:
Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

Typical roleplaying games... always wanting to Nerf undead.
The only explanation is that campus administrators are zombies. The cheating bastards want to make sure nothing stops them from eating more brains.
So, let's recap :
The undead were nerfed by the GM's,
Innocent bystanders submitted a report of greifing to the game server (University),
The humans in turn are nerfed by the game server,
Thus causing the humans to be ganked by the undead.
Yep, sounds like typical PVP role-playing MMIRL.

Uh, try the physics lab next door.
I'm shocked, shocked, to hear it implied that there are LARPers who aren't getting any.
News report:
A convenient store clerk was killed late yesterday during an armed robbery. The assailants were using nerf bats. The slaying took approximately 9 hours....

Well, what do _you_ think that hordes of undead flesh-eating zombies do? Save you 15% on your insurance?
