Remember, the point of this game is to HAVE FUN, so please remember to make safety priority one while locating, stalking, and murdering your target. It's only a game.
Objective
Be the last assassin standing
Basic Goal
You are given the name of a target person. You must hunt this person down, make the hit, then acquire their target person, and continue the hunt. The last man standing wins a portion of the pot (from collected entrance fees).
The Rules of the Game
Acceptable weapons are:
water balloons
water guns
Nerf guns
Buckets of water
Any projectile which does not cause pain or inflict damage on a person or property
Unacceptable weapons are:
Paintball guns
BB guns
air rifles
REAL GUNS
Air rifles
Air-soft guns
Laser pointers
Anything which causes pain or iflicts damage on a person or property
Note 1: Water weapons are suggested, for they leave evidence of a hit.
Note 2: If you use a ball or some other projectile, you can cover it in chalk or flour to leave evidence of your kill.
Note 3: If there is anything not included on this list, email or call Andy or Nick and they will decide and let you know. If there is doubt, you are advised to wait for a response from Andy and Nick.
A hit must be three things: intentional, visible to the killer, and must physically touch the victim.
Once you make a kill, contact Nick Mabry (or if unavailable Andy Crutchfield) to tell him who you are, what target you have taken out, and their verification number. This will report the hit as well as give you your next target.
You are able to take out only your target. If an assassin comes for you, you may not return fire; you must run.
If you are hit, you are to immediately give the assassin your verification code.
There are several safe zones:
All school property, including building, track, practice fields, parking lot, et. al.
The Double Tree Hotel and its parking lot on May 2nd from 5:00pm to 2:00am. Also, guys, don't ruin anyone's prom. When people are getting dressed, picking up dates, etc., don't soak them. That would really suck.
The rules for our prom also go for St. Teresa's prom. The dance, pictures, dinner, and getting ready are all off limits, but the afterparties are on.
May 18th. Be with your families on graduation day.
The place of work of your target while he is on the clock or about to clock in. After he clocks out and is out of his place of work, he is fair game (even if wearing a uniform).
Athletes, debaters, musicians, etc. are safe when they are at practice/rehearsal or at a game/performance. Any performance/game is considered to be an extension of school property, and must be treated as such. If someone just finished a baseball game, you must wait until they drive out of the parking lot to hit them.
Contact Nick or Andy to request a special amnesty. These will be very limited, but we understand there may be circumstances (like a wedding or something like that) which demonstrate a need. Your assassin will be notified.
You must be present and responsible for your victim's assassination. You may have accomplices, but you must actually complete the hit.
There is a time limit on the game. You have one week from a starting point to kill your victim and report the kill or you yourself are eliminated.
Should any discrepancies arise regarding whether or not a hit occurred, Andy and Nick will be in charge of arbitration. The burden of proof lies on the assassin.
Prizes
FAQ:
No, Nick and I aren't playing
No, Nick and I will not take any money from the pot besides money to pay for the copies we made of flyers.
No, you really can’t use real guns. Really.
I have been asked several times, “What if your target lies and says they never got hit,” or any number of things involving lying and dishonesty. Any evidence of dishonesty will result in immediate expulsion from the game without a refund. This will be decided by Andy and Nick.
When you make your kill, call or email Nick or Andy. This will confirm your kill and your next target.
If you are using a water balloon and hit the person, but it does not explode, it counts as a kill.
Incidental splash from a missed water balloon is not a kill.
