I got my kit today and it is way cool. More than I expected! Watch out Sparkly Ponies I got your number and it is on my card! Robot Ninjas will sneak up on you and you will not even know it!

This looks super fun! Eagerly anticipating how the final Cowboy 'Verse buttons will look. Not sure if this has been covered before, but if we're cosplaying, is it alright to take off our badge when taking photos?

Idk, it'd be pretty funny to see another Assassin sneak up on you in a picture, lol.

Preferably not, but if the badge really detracts from your costume then it's ok. I'm assuming you're talking about posed pictures with others and not just random pics while you're walking around the center. Keep in mind you cannot assassinate someone unless your badge is on.
what is the shipping time if I live in the US? don't want to order and not get the kit before PAX.
Shipping time is 3-5 days in the US. Cutoff for shipping kits is August 22, after that date any orders will need to be picked up at the convention. If you will be leaving early, like for PAX DEV, and you think your kit may not be shipped in time let me know and I can carry it with me to give to you.
Sparkly pony here, only faction without a back story. Doesn't need one.
Thanks! Coincidentally I've finally got a good idea for the ponies back story! Can't say if it will be up soon but boys and girls alike should be pleased.
Expect to get a unicorn horn in the ribs. Or a sonic rainboom dropped on you. Or.....uhh...apples and the party cannon thrown at you.
Maybe I should have lead with the cannon...
hmm...anyone know if LTACosta's dad is playing? I might have to sign up just so he has someone to kill again :P
tr0tsky, you're always so generous about letting LTACosta's dad take you out!
The Varsity Dead button has been finalized and ordered (Rush, Rush)! Check it out!
I'm committed to getting the remaining buttons ready for ordering this weekend (also Rush, Rush). I've got some ideas for them but shout out if you have any suggestions!
Also the current player count and faction populations are now up to date in the OP.
heh yea I just ordered last night and got a message that they are shipping. now I am trying to figure out a button or something as loot...not sure what to do.

My group has a lot of guild/clan stickers, will probably use those.
Also is there a rule or guideline that protects a player from being killed if he is in the process of killing someone, getting their missions, giving them a parting gift etc?

There's no rule that's specifically says this but there is one concerning assassinating a player who is performing an action that is relevant.
Should your target be performing an activity that would be disrupted by you approaching them please wait for the player to finish before approaching.
What's the ruling on killing within factions? Is it not allowed, frowned upon, only on the last day? I need to know how high to crank my paranoia meter to!

Killing within factions is 100% allowed. At this point factions are a personal preference rather than a group mechanic.
Note that it's more than likely you will receive a target that is of your own faction if you kill enough people but you don't have to kill someone if you don't want to.
I think I'll do this differently. If it's of my own faction, I may offer them a test of skill to survive the sting of my (purely metaphorical) blade. I care more about having fun than scoring points. :-)

Good to know, thanks! I think I'll be lenient towards my fellow Varsity Dead members... At least until my back is against the wall; when that happens, look out!

No problem! Alliances and such are totally allowed and encouraged! Part of the reason I added the factions to the game was to give some story so that things like this would be easier! I'm hoping to add more story to the game down the line but without affecting the core idea of assassins.
Speaking of story I received a message from the Sparkly Ponies today and they are pissed. They do not like having their faction page blank and demand restitution. Luckily I was able to talk them down from stampeding but the price was high. They want two buttons, one for boy and one for girls! Check out the boys version below and let me know what you think!
I'm not a Sparkly Pony, but I think some people might be slightly upset if the guys' pin is all tough and the girls' pin ends up being frilly and... pink.

Great! Thanks for the heads up on your symbol! This is a bug on the site that I'll fix tomorrow.

Great, I'm glad you like it!
Let the rivalries begin!
Awesome guys, seeing a jump in kit orders! Up to 55 people now! Just updated the faction populations, here's where we stand:

Guess the quote then send me a PM.
For paintings in progress, check out canvas and paints

Great! The horde is growing!
Thanks! Cowboy 'Verse buttons should be go by the end of the week, got a good idea for them that should look sweet.

Great, thanks! I'm waiting on more badge holders to arrive tomorrow afternoon so your kits will ship out Friday night or Saturday morning.
I also plan to join the sparkly ponies so mentally note that somewhere.

I ordered mine on the 4th and received it today (9th) from cross country, so there's still plenty of time!
Great!
Awesome, good to hear it got to you quickly and thanks for letting us know how long it took!
Anyone else got some suggestions for loot?

Working to get the final two buttons ready this weekend. Here's the preview for Cowboy 'Verse!
Let us know your thoughts and suggestions! Thanks!

Boo, it's missing the pin.
Great! Pins will be given out at the convention, I don't have all of them in hand for every faction yet.
