3. Assassins! Rules and Deadlines!
Have any of you heard of a game called Assassins?
This is the second time ASA members are playing Assassins. Since last
semester was such a success, we have chosen to start a new game this year.
Basically, there is one moderator and as many players that sign up. The
moderator assigns each player a target, who is assigned another player as a
target, and on and on so that each player has one target to kill and one
assassin coming after him/her. Once you have killed your target, the
moderator assigns you your previous target’s target. The goal of the game is
to remain alive and kill as many assassins as possible.
How do you kill?
In order to kill your target, you must throw a sock at them. Color/size does
not matter. You may carry as many socks as you’d like at all times. Don’t
forget, however, that once the sock has made contact with any part of your
body (this includes clothing, but does not include your backpack), you have
been killed.
There are a few more rules, such as safe zones and killing restrictions.
*If you are interested in playing (which you all should be!) please SEND ME
AN E-MAIL saying “I WANT TO PLAY ASSASSINS!”** I will then send you more
detailed rules. *There will be a Google Doc that the moderator will update,
so all players will be able to see which assassin is alive and which
assassin is dead.
The last day to join the game is Sunday, September 27 at 5 p.m. Game starts
Monday, September 28, at midnight!
