Assassins

[TheClashTheClashTheClash]

Have any of you guys played this before? (I'm talking about the real life game, not Assassins Creed)

We just started a game today at school and theres somewhere between 50-70 people playing. The game started at 12:00 and I got the first kill of the game at 12:03...it was awesome. Its funny how it makes everyone paranoid. Everyone is now walking with 2 other assassins everywhere (b/c your assassination can't be witnesses)...this will start to rule my life

Interesting... explain more please. How do you play? What are the rules? etc,.

[cromartie90000]

What kind of game is this exactly?? Sounds like... Fun?

MAKES ME WISH I WENT TO SCHOOL.

It sounds like a type of sneaky tag to me.

We did this my Senior Year of high school. Basic premise (I'm sure we'll have slight differences):

Everyone has a target and everyone has a person targeting them. We had about 50 or so people. So Person 1 targeted Person 2 who targeted 3 all the way around in a giant circle. Nobody knew who was targeting who.

The goal was to assassinate the target without getting assassinated yourself. We did it with water guns. The only rules were "no killing on school property or at school events, no killing in someone's house (yards were fine), no killing while they were on the clock at their job (outside after work was fine).

Some epic tales of that year: We had someone hide in a trunk for someone to leave work for 3 hours. Then when they started up the car, he let down the back seat and assassinated him.

I waited in a church parking lot for someone for 90 minutes.

Some kid left the state for a week to not get killed.

One of our extra rules were that if you killed your assassin before they killed you (they had to pull the weapon on you first) you had a 6 hour immunity period. One person ran the game from the outside and we all put 5 dollars into a pool. It was really fun.

That sounds like an amazing game, I wish there had been similar shenanigans when I was in grade school. We just played four-square >_>

[DarkEternal37]

I forgot to mention that if you killed someone you inherited their target.

I played this during senior year of high school too. We had the same rules as darketernal (without the extra immunity rule). It was great fun for most people. Not for me, though. I got killed before I killed anybody else. :(

Yeah, I only got one person. I got assassinated like 6 hours after that.

I lol'd for realsies when I read that.

[JuJuBee]

Yeah, I only got one person. I got assassinated like 6 hours after that.

For my target, I didn't even know who the person was. I was still trying to figure it out when somebody killed me as I was getting home from school.

Thats pretty much the rules we are going by except you can't assassinate someone in front of other alive assassins or in front of the direct family of the person being assassinated. The safe zones for are game is in your classroom and in the bathroom...the halls are fair game. You can only kill someone at their house if they are home alone.

And we have several ways to assassinate a target. You can touch their skin with a spoon, you can use a water gun or nerf gun, you can "poision" their food (by marking it while they are eating it or something or by a car bomb (putting a watch to go off at a certain time or have a sticky note with a certain time on it, if the watch goes off while you are in the car or if you are in the car at the time what the sticky note says, you're dead)

For my target, I didn't even know who the person was. I was still trying to figure it out when somebody killed me as I was getting home from school.

I knew who my target WAS but didn't know anything about him (where he lived, etc). We had class together once but that was it. I had to enlist a friend to help me find out more about him (the person who eventually betrayed me).

We actually couldn't have done anything on the school's premises if we wanted to. First of all, water guns were outlawed and then they heard about our game and made a public announcement saying anyone found with a water gun on school grounds would be suspended.

This sounds like a fun game.

[zeldazeppelin]

yeah they are playing it at my high school but I had no time or money for it.

[nashphx13z]

Some people at a school near mine played this game, but a guy ended up shooting another guy in the leg with a pistol. Damn hoodlums.

Ball State will be having its first game of Assassins this fall. It's being organized by the Urban Gaming League, which also handles Humans vs. Zombies and the upcoming Laser Tag.
