    My reward so far to my assassin is going to be the pax '10 challenge coin. :D
    Not only is it symbolic to get a coin for a job well done in the military and other places that uses them. But it would be like they looted coins off me. haha. XD

    So we have fruit (in jelly form) and coins as booty? Wow, we've got an old school gaming theme for booty this year! Who's going to bring the jousting ostriches and barrels? :)

    Well, I just made two dice bags in a nice assassin-black brocade for myself and my husband to give out as bounty booty. That counts as very old school gaming right? ;P

    Is it okay if I show up at around 4:00 on Friday? The con will have been going on for 6 hours then IIRC, and I just want to make sure that it's okay that I'm not mingling during those 6 hours.

    Sorry for the delay in answering this. It's fine if you're getting in late Friday.

    Shipping is now closed! You can still order and pick up your kits at the convention. All orders so far should ship out by tomorrow.

    The official rules PDF should be up this week, and an email should go out soon with information on where you can pick up kits and how to get in touch with me during the game should you have questions.

    i haven't decided if i'll go with my previous idea of a loot table where you roll to see what loot you get if you manage to assassinate me...but you'll have a chance of looting this:

    I may also bring this one as well, but might not.

    That is some pretty epic loot you got there.

    I'm a little ahead this year with shipping kits out, so I've turned shipping back on until the middle of the week. A batch will go out tonight and then one more tomorrow. Just a heads up to anyone on the fence.

    I placed my order this weekend after you turned shipping off, an paid for the on site pick up. Now that shipping is back open, is it possible to get mine still shipped? If I need to pay the difference or anything just let me know.
    Thanks

    So, hopefully someone will appreciate this loot..

    At my dads place over the weekend, and I found an original Empire Strikes Back towel. Not saying its new, or in any kind of pristine condition... but still.. its an original Empire Strikes Back towel...

    Besides, that was easier to grab than the full set of Pac-Man sheets that are still over there from when I was a kid.. lol

    Yep! All kits shipped should be in the mail. Let me know when you start receiving them please, it'll help me gauge shipping for future games and will help people know if one got lost on the way.

    From past experience it takes around 4-5 days for kits to get to the West coast, less for those further East. If yours isn't in hand by that time send me a PM and well work something out.

    Thanks again to everyone playing!

    I just ordered mine a couple days ago after the shipping date had closed and just wanted to see if there was anyway I could get that shipped still or just wait on the instructions for picking up the kit at PAX.??

    Okay read the OP but still a little fuzzy

    You have a tag, and an assignment on a smaller tag. If the person has a kill tag with your symbol on it and they assassinate you before you have a chance too, you take the kill tag and register the kill?

    Oh, and I received my badge a few days ago. So I'm officially in for this.

    From my understanding, if they assassinate you, they take YOUR kill tag and register having killed you. Then you are out of the game. Also, I don't think it's a matter of assassinating them before they get to you, since you may not necessarily have a tag that matches their symbol even though theirs matches yours. Which sounds super confusing. If you are a triangle looking for a circle, a square looking for a triangle may kill you while you have no recourse at all.

    Organizers pls correct me if I'm wrong on this!

    When you find your target you take their kill card (they keep their badge they walk around with in their holder the whole pax event tho) and their next target and so on.

    I'm not an organizer but this is my third year playing.

    Yes, when you kill someone you inherit their target and that's the next symbol you're looking to kill. It is possible for you to have each other's symbols as targets but that's a pretty small chance and I don't know if it's ever happened. Then whoever saw the other one first is the survivor.

    You can also kill someone who's got the same shape symbol as your target but a different color; it's just 5 less points when it's not an exact match.

    You can even earn a point without killing someone. If you see a fellow assassin and their badge isn't your kill, you can stealthily write down the 5-letter code on their badge and register that on the website under "Secondary Tier" to earn a point. Those can really build up your score! The first year that I played, I believe someone's 12-year old sister was the winner. Assassin kids are just as deadly as adults!

    (Mars, tell me if I'm missing anything)
