Assassins Game Rules
General Rules
Below is a brief overview of the rules. Some of these points will be given grater detail further below.
You may not kill during a grace period (be it a day or until lunch).
Contact your moderator about every successful kill. Communication is key.
If you die then you are out of the game. The dead do not speak.
No harm should come to your target.
No truces/alliances. You may not have someone else kill your target.
Keep the game fun by not telling people who your target is. Though, you may ask around if you do not know your person, but do so at your own risk.
Points
Every game has a point system, right? Every assassination you make you receive one point. That should be simple enough. On the west valley blog spot, you may see your stats and compare yourself to other people. Being killed does not count against you point-wise.
Assassinations
General
Methods
Below are the following methods to take care of your target
Method:Spoon
Weapon Type: Direct/Melee
Capacity: 1 (all you need)
Description: A white plastic spoon that you can obtain from the commons at lunch. If you are new, it is advised that you get them during the grace day.
Assassination: To 'kill' your target with this weapon you must stab the person in the back. Don't stab so hard that it causes physical harm to the player. A sucsessful stab is one that is done from behind(180 degree radius) without your target noticing.
Counter: If you catch your person in the act and manage to say "You're assassination attempt has failed" or "You are disarmed" before they can stab you then their attempt has failed.This only works if their 'weapon' is visible.
Method: Poison
Failed attempts
If your target counters your assassination attempt then you must wait 1 hour before making another attempt. You may still be assassinated during this time. Since your target now knows of your identity, it will be more difficult to make a successful assassination. Buona fortuna.
Safe Zones
There are certain areas where we assassins are not allowed to strike, out of honor. Also, some of these areas are likely to attract school authorities. Do we really want that?
Expected Behavior
It is important that players familiarize themselves thoroughly with this section. Breaking the rules of conduct may lead the being put on the wanted list, or disqualification. They may also lead to trouble with the authorities. If someone does breaches a rule, the moderator is a liberty to effect what he believes the likely result had the rule been obeyed.
Exercise common sense at all times. Players are responsible for their behavior. West Valley Assassins does not condone any course of action that would result in confrontation with people in authority. Avoid inconveniencing others, especially the general public.
This game depends on honesty and fair play. Please inform the moderator of of anything assassin related that occurs to you, especially if you have been killed. Anyone knowingly giving false or misleading information to the Moderator will face severe penalties.
You must expect other players to have nefarious intentions at any time during the game. Do not involve (or cause to become involved) School or other non-players to eject or intimidate those attempting to 'kill' you or others. If you believe that someone is behaving unreasonably, contact the moderator.
This is not a game about physical strength or violence. There is no excuse what so ever for pushing people around or forcing them our of your way.
Also, is a player is in obvious distress for a reason unrelated to the fact that you are trying to 'kill' them, or they are dealing with someone else in distress, do not take advantage of this situation.
You are perfectly at liberty to deny that you are an Assassin. However, you are not allowed to claim that you are a Dead Assassin and hence harmless. You may not lie about the vital status of of other Assassins who are immediately present.
Most of all, remember that this is just a game. Do your best, but have fun.
Consequences
I will not take kindly to rule breakers. This game is meant to be fun and if you are ruining the game for others then we have a problem. There are two ways I can deal with rule breakers.
The moderator personally assassinates you, thus kicking you from the game. No kill point is given.
Some other punishment that is up to the moderator.
The Moderator
The current moderator is Marx Smith and can be contacted privately at assassinsgamemod@gmail.com. You may also contact me in person at school if you have any questions. I do not provide protection, if you are talking to me and are stabbed while doing so then you are dead; Unless I says otherwise.
