I was reading over some about conventions that I wish i could attend this coming year, and I stumbled on a game I played once in college, called Assassination. After looking it over again (wiki page), I gave some thought and figured it would be a fun game to try and adapt onto the board here. Obviously since we don't live within range of each other or such, actually sneaking up and using items such as spoons or water pistols isn't going to work. But I thought perhaps we could use key words or phrases as our weapons of choice. Essentially everyone who wanted to play would be assigned a word/phrase to them that would be what kills them. Yet instead of having people just up and shouting the word on the board trying to kill them, the word would have to be used covertly in a reply directly following the target of the assassin. What does this mean? Well simple, say Lightslayer and Blue Pheonix are both players. Blue is trying to hunt down Lightslayer who's death word is "Uncle Jones". Now say LS is making a post about toaster ovens, Blue then could make a reply saying "You know... my Uncle Jones had a toaster oven like that. Last I checked it worked really well." To everyone else, it would seem as a normal reply, but both LS and Blue would realize that an assassination had occured and would report it in to the GM. Here's the catch though, say Nagisaki reads the post right after and thinks to himself... "Blue doesn't have an Uncle Jones... I bet that was an assassination." So he can reply and point out the attempted murder, and if done within 24hrs, Blue would be arrested and disqualified, then her next target would automatically be sent to whoever was after her instead. But if nothing happens within 24hrs, then Blue gets away and will be given the target LS had been assigned. The key point is that you will not know who else is in the game until either: a)you are assigned to kill them, b)you get killed by someone, or c)you read about their deaths once its verified and reported. If there is interest in trying this out, I'll get the rules and such typed up formally and set up a registration page to sign up on and assign the random words/phrases. |
