The Assassins Guild

[Fire Daemon]

Hmmm, sounds quite fun. I will have to hunt it down.

Nothing is true, everything is permitted. Trust no one. Eyes and ears open at all times. Your best friend wants to stab you in the back. Your significant other wants to take you down. Your favourite lecturer is the enemy.

The drinking fountain is rigged to cut your head off, and there is a bomb in the lasagna.

I've heard of it from Wikipedia, but I haven't seen any games for it.

 

[Finbark]

Yes. Local high school's play it. It seems incredibly fun. My cousin told me of a game they had last year.

EDIT: Tips?
Have a party.
Invite the target's to the party.
Ambush.
????
PROFIT.

Also, use women. It works. Dead serious.

 

[Deadpewl]

I'm in Leeds, second year, what about you? Didn't bother looking at most of the societies last year but this year they held a second fresher's fair (finishes tomorrow) so I just decided to add my name to the mailing list today at random. Sounds pretty fun though

Has anybody else here heard of the game 'Assasins'? I don't mean a video game, I'm referring to a LARP called Assassins, whereby people are given targets in the guild to 'kill' with foam weapons, squirt guns, NERF guns, furry toys, and so on. I found out today that my university has an assassin's guild and so I've signed up to the mailing list, hoping to join after the current 'Game' is finished. So is there anyone else out there who's heard of it, or plays it? If so, what's it like and what tips would you give to people just starting out in a guild?

lol, sounds great. I think you may be on their list as a recruitment thing, be ready. =]

 

[Ultrajoe]

Do you now the funnest thing about it?

Spoiler

Bang. You're dead. You idiot. Why would you click on this in a thread about assassins!?

The funnest things is creeping paranoia.

 

[Syntax Error]

what tips would you give to people just starting out in a guild?

If it exists, it's out to kill you. Yes, even the monitor you are staring at and the keyboard you are typing in right now.

Spoiler

LOOK BEHIND YOU!!!

 

[Larmo]

Never heard of it. But it sounds awsome. My new guild will aim to kill Sam Vimes!
(Cookies for reference)

good luck he booby traps everything *eats cookie *

 

[Ziadaine_v1legacy]

Well if I get into Uni' over the next 2 years or so I'll have to look into that, seems like a bit of fun.

 

[Insert Comedy Here]

It's sounds KInda fun, reaLLy, I mEan, you never know when someboDy is going to off YOU.

What is the color of night?

Sanguine, my brother?

Wait, so we're NOT cutting off our fingers?

...Be right back I gotta go to the hospital.

I must say this sounds brilliant. It is a shame that today's children aren't taught the ways of the assassin at a younger age. I'm going to see if my University has one. I'm in final year, but there may still be time. Maybe The Escapist needs an Assassins guild?

EDIT: I'm in and around Newcastle, UK does anyone know of one?

 

[Seldon2639]

I've heard of it, I've played it, and it's only pretty meh.

I played my senior year of High School, since it was a pretty big event. University might have been more fun (a more localized environment, more crowded), but a University would make some parts more difficult. The rules usually (and almost universally) include provisions against assassinations taking place during school or in school buildings (actual academic buildings, presumably). Given the variation in class schedule, it'd seem to make it a bit less about skill and a bit more about having a schedule which makes you able to lie in wait for your target.

I thought it was always a cool idea, but that's almost impossible to execute.

 

[CRAVE CASE 55]

I've played it with my friends before. I got taken out at my job at Burger King when one of them came through the drive-through. It was also featered on a episode of CSI:NY

 

[T5seconds]

Oh yeah well I think

Spoiler

Bang.. You?re dead... If you were stupid enough to click this spoiler then you shouldn?t play assassins... Why? Because... YOU FAIL although it does sound fun and I will think about starting one up in my UNI

Holy shit yes... I just read your post and when you said the Escapists needs an Assassins guild a light rang out in my head WE NEED THIS we could totally bomb WebPages and things after we give each other targets WE MUST START NOW

 

[Amnestic]

I KILLIED YOU.

What is this "Killied" you speak of?

 

[Fasckira]

We did one similar but using water pistols. 10 of us were given a random target of one of the other 9 players and you had to track them down till eventually you were left with two players. The game last about 2 weeks and we got down to 4 players before we all got bored of it really.
