How the War Began

The Beginning

There has been much speculation and theory on how this office nerf war began. Many claim a few rogue I.T. team members surprise attacked High School Ministry General, Josh Griffin, while he was leaving the bathroom. However, there is no direct evidence that this event ever occurred.

Others claim that the High School Ministry Team (HSMT) was extremely jealous of the I.T. Team's good looks and accelerated brain power. As their envy grew, so did their rage. Thus, they all aquired nerf guns in order to challenge their superiours in a futile war. Although this is the most likely reason for the HSMT's purchasing of nerf guns, it does not explain what actually instigated the nerf war. That is a well known fact among both sides.


The Instigation

On December 11, 2008 at 1200 hours, Katie Shannon called the HelpDesk, asking for somebody to install Office 2007 on Raynne Witt's laptop. At 1412 hours, Parker Stech arrived to installed the requested software. At 1414 hours, while sitting at Ryanne's desk, Parker was shot in the back with a nerf dart. He turned around to see Katie, holding a Hasbro Nerf N-Strike Friefly REV-8, with nerf smoke still coming out of the barrel.


The Declaration

At 1417 hours, Parker returned to I.T. territory and reported the incident to his team. Thus, the Rebel Forces of I.T. was formed. They purchased and modified their own nerf weapons over the next few days. Once they were ready for war, the brilliant Rebels drafted a Declaration War.



The Delivery

On December 15th, 2008 at 1600 hours, the Rebel Forces marched into HSMT territory and delivered the Declaration of War on Katie Shannon's chair.




On the morning of Tuesday, December 16th, 2008, the HSMT received the Declaration of War. Now that everything was official, the war had begun.
