Humans Vs Zombies

I think so, didn't say anything in the rules against it, anyone here know about this?

Under standard HvZ rules, Nerf melee weapons are okay. We couldn't use them at the game I just played, but it was because they had been banned by the University's administration after complaints from the game before.

Why were they banned?

I was going to a different school when they played the first game, but my understanding is that the players got too rough with them, and there were enough complaints that the administration banned them. For this term's game, they also had nerf banned except in nerf zones, which were mostly the parking lots and fields in the residential areas on campus -- and then they made it against the rules to have them visible in dorms, classrooms, or dining halls.

The idea behind that one was that, for some stupid reason, they were afraid a campus cop might get confused by the bright yellow blob of plastic, and think he had an armed suspect on his hands. Which brings me to an important point -- it's against the official HvZ rules to modify the guns. There's two things they're trying to prevent, here. The more minor one is modding the guns to shoot farther by removing the air restrictors and upgrading the springs, which can make getting hit at close range much more painful. The one that is actually a safety concern is painting the guns a color that isn't clearly fake. Spraypainting the things black is a big no-no, no matter where you're playing.

Alright, but should we allow Nerf melee weapons, I mean, what do they even have, in terms of type?

All I can really say on that front is that they are legal within the framework of the game -- like I said, I wasn't involved in last year's game, so I know nothing about them.

Here's [http://humansvszombies.org/] a link to the official site. It contains rules, forums, even a system you can use to keep track of who's human and who's zed. It should be more helpful than I can be -- I've only played once, and I didn't help organize it.

Oh, don't worry, I've been on the site, but thanks for the link though. Okay, I will allow Nerf weapons, I just wants a list of which ones are available first

No hammer? That would have been awesome
