Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Panels are topics and demonstrations throughout the expo in rooms around the convention. Only the Keynote has been announced so far (Wil Wheaton FTW) but the panel times and locations will be in a handout you'll be given. Specific details on panels are usually announced shortly before the convention starts.
BYOC is an area of PAX where you can bring your computer to play games with other BYOCers. It requires a separate purchase to enter. More info on it can be found here.
Freeplay areas include the PC and Console Freeplay areas. These are places where you can use a provided PC or game console (and check out games to play on it). It's similar to BYOC but anyone can use it.
A map will be provided in the PAX handout explaining where all these areas are.
The game starts 2 hours after doors open so you can nom in peace.

Filthy Spies, always sappin mah sentries!
Actually we're working on something like that but it may not be in by the PAX East game.
Oh and have yet to register for this due to waiting on enforcer assignments to come out. As this could hinder me from participating the entire time and or make me an easy target.
I also have a suggestion for possibly getting more players. would love too see the game have more participants.
The basic idea right now is to to have players or spy-only players able to give info on the location of others and to get points for giving information that led to a kill.
Project M's a completely new game. Unlike Assassins, that games idea is to bring in some story elements and let players work together. I'm hoping to have more info available soon and run some demos at PAX West.
Yeah, any ideas for getting more people would be appreciated.
The real question though is if its a spy only who will get to be the spy
See your PM for my ideas if i think of more depending on what they are i will post them.
Let all others tremble in fear.
(Woo! Very excited.)

Awesome! Great to have you guys in the game!
Why is PC Freeplay safe and not console freeplay?
Can one still get secondary points while still "alive?"
Will the large armband fit around a winter jacket that many people might be wearing in March in Boston?
As for increasing players, perhaps a referral system that after someone refers X number of people they get their next upgrade pack free. - This both promotes more people and gets existing players to come back.
We neglected to add the Console Freeplay areas into the rules last year, but they are considered safe zones and we'll update the rules for future games.
You can do the Secondary Tier at any time regardless of whether you've been assassinated or not.
The large armbands should fit around most anything. Both bands are elastic and adjustable. The large armbands are actually suggested to be used for jackets by the supplier, so this would eb the best fit for that situation.
Note that you're only required to wear the badge while you are in the convention center.
Thanks. That's a great idea! There are some updates coming to the site that should make it easier to add features like this.
After time adrift among open stars
Among tides of light and to shoals of dust
I will return to where I began
I'll be posting about a contest shortly for people to get some free kits and i'm also looking at ways to make the game last a little longer for players since we'll probably not reach the same size as the West coast game.
We will have some extra kits at the convention. Shoot me a PM and I'll send you an email as we get closer on how to contact me to get one.

Kits will be mailed 2-3 weeks before the show.

Good question! You can input Primary Kills or Secondary Attacks whenever is convenient for you. Also, we keep the registration system up for Secondary kills for a few days after PAX to allow you to enter any Secondary Attacks you've gathered, though the Primary Kill registration system will be disabled Monday.
Ditto that.
good to know, thanks!!
