Assassins Game F.A.Q.

What is Assassins?

Assassins is a stealth based game where you are given a target that you have to “assassinate”. This is a school game which means that you don't really kill them. You pretend to kill them using one of the methods listed in the Rules section. Be careful though, you are also being hunted as well. Do you think you can come out on top as a Master Assassin?

Do the West Valley Staff know about this game?

They are aware that this game exists. They have safety concerned about it, but the moderator has convinced them that this game will be played safely. Please do not prove the moderator wrong. It is heavily recommended that you make all assassination attempts discretely. If you draw attention to a staff member, please be mature about it. We want this game to have a good standing with the the staff at West Valley.

What is a grace period?

During a grace period assassination attempts are not allowed to be made. The first day of every game is a grace day. This is so that the moderator can assign contracts. Grace periods may be extended if the moderator cannot deliver all contracts within the given time. The moderator may call grace periods at anytime during a game.

How/When/Where do I receive my assassination contract?

Every player receives their contract from the game moderator on the first day of every game. This is usually a Monday. The moderator will give out specific instructions for when you will specifically receive your contract.

May I assassinate my target using a different method than listed in the rules?

Only the assassination methods listed in the rules may be used during the game.

What do you mean “An instructional area during an instructional period.”?

No direct assassinations may be made during class periods. When I say direct assassinations, spoon assassinations may not be used. If you poison your target and the poison takes affect during the class period, then the kill is considered good. Refer to the rules section for how poison works.

What if I catch my assassin and he/she continues his/her assassination attempt?

If you successfully countered his assassination attempt then your assassin has failed his attempt and must wait one hour to make another attempt.

What are the parameters a food/beverage container that I must poison?

The container must make contain the food or beverage that the target is to ingest. A lunch box for example cannot be poisoned. A Pringles jar or water bottle may be poisoned since it makes direct contact with the food or beverage.
