Assassins!

[Harry Giles]

They play it at a number of universities, and I'm aware of a few small intrahall games going on. But I think it would be fantastic ro run a university-wide game at St Andrews.

Here's the Cambridge rules:

http://www.srcf.ucam.org/assassins/rules.html

The basic gist is: once all players have signed up, everyone is assigned a number of people they must assassinate. Assissinations are made with toy weapons, poisoned letters, killer rabbits &c. Once you are assassinated, you are out of the game and must make a report to the game umpires, which is posted online. Once you assassinate someone you make a report to the game umpires (under your assassin's pseudonym) and are assigned a new target. The winner is the last assassin left alive.

I can envision this working brilliantly if a couple of people want to help out in setting it up, writing the rules, making a game website and so on.

What do you think? Would you like to play, or help organise?

When i visted Oxford they told us about it, the most elaborate assasination being crushed by a polystyrene fridge thrown from a building.
Im well up for it and think it would be a very good thing to start up. Perhaps if enough of us get together then we could think about starting up a society or something?

Nah, no need for a society and all the bumf that involves. Facebook club, of course (I think it'd be a good rule for all players to have Facebook profiles, to aid finding them to assassinate).

Glad you're up for it. If enough people are we'll organise a pub meeting

YOu have to love it. Looks like an ace game, we should organise one.

Those who'd like to organise it: fancy an afternoon pint in Aikmans on Sunday?

[ARTooD2]

indeed...count me in too

[hr]

Many Bothans died to bring you this information...

[Amorphous]

I think I remember hearing about a much-reduced version of this in Uni Hall last year, though I think in that instance everyone got a ball and one name and there had to be two (no more, no less) witnesses for it to be a valid kill.


I'm tempted to join in, but at the same time I suspect I'd end up on the Incompetence list pretty quickly.

We played this in chattan 2 years ago except the rule was we had to use water- as soon as your assassin got you with water, you were out.

I got killed during a fire alarm in the middle of the night... my bastard of a roommate actually had the sense to take a mug full (!) of water out with him...

the git.

Remember now, there's a big difference between kneeling down and BENDING OVER!

[orudge]

Sounds like it could be fun. Death by fridge, good stuff.

Seems like the followings good enough now and im pretty sure there'll be boat loads of other people interested. Just have to organise a pub meet at some time.

I've got a few ideas

[lizzie_liz]

we use a bouncy ball and there must be exactly 2 witnesses.
