After realizing that his target was on his way back to his room, Hetzler camped out behind a door at the end of the Quincy hallway armed with a grotesque fully automatic nerf gun. Hetzler watched through the a crack in the door as his target walked towards him armed only with single shot guns, head swiveling madly to try and spot a possible assailant. Bursting through the door, Hetzler met Malott with a spray of darts. But in what Keller Rinaudo '09, a member of the winning...
