Quiet Hours start at 10PM every night. Please enjoy the evening in a quiet manner so others can sleep and prepare for the next day's battles!

Daytime Events

• Necromancer:
  Every fighter begins the game on their own team and the battle is a total free for all. However, as soon as you are slain you return to the game (after a count of 5 seconds) as a zombie chanting the name of your vanquisher. Subsequent kills that you score grow the ranks of your master's horde, and the game continues until only factions remains.
• Capture the Flag:
  Capture the flag, boffer style! Rules are simple, capture the opposing team's flag and return it to your base without being slain in combat.
• Group Wars:
  Standard boff rules apply: a grand melee between groups. There will be a set time as well as area for the battle to take place. This is the chance for your chosen faction to prove its worth, or band together with your fellow mercenaries and show people who's really the boss.
• Defend & Siege Games:
  One group, or a group of groups, will be given a territory to defend. One group, or a group of groups, will be charged with taking that territory. Battles will be timed, and those with the lowest seige time will be declared the winner.
• Dodgeboff:
  Dodge ball with boffer balls. Two teams playing against each other till one remains victorious! Catch outs will be allowed along with toss back ins. People out can get back in by catching a ball tossed over by their team.
• Kill the Monarch:
  Two opposing factions chose one among them to be Monarch of their fighting force, and the game plays out much like Chess. The object is to kill the other team's monarch while protecting your own. To discourge the practice of camping, players will respawn as soon as they are slain until one of the two monarchs has been killed.
• Orc Football:
  Plays very similar to rugby. The object is to get the ball all the way down the field using only backwards or lateral passes, but also while avoiding the boffers of the opposing team. First team to five shall be declared the winner.

• Boffer Mafia:
  A nighttime event after the sun goes down- can you find who did it, or will the whole camp get "killed"? The boffer twist? Whoever is the murderer needs to use a boffer to "kill" people. Good luck not being seen!
• Costume Awards: 
  An award will be given for best male costume, best female costume, and best group ensemble.
• Boffer Construction Awards: 
  This is the award for best boffer construction. There will be two awards: best weapon and best prop.
• Bardic Contest:
  During the fire in the evening there will be a contest of bardic skills. Tell a story or sing a song, or perform some other noteworthy feat five minutes or less in length. At the end of the night judges will award a winner! Its totally informal, so we hope you won't be too shy to show off your skills.
• Flashlight Manhunt:
  A standard game of manhunt- with boff! One or two people become the hunted on the run for a goal location, and everyone else becomes the hunters. Who will win, the larger group or the tricky hunted?
