Thanks, Dave. I've been out of contact on the Oregon coast for the better part of a week, and am just getting caught up on my correspondance. I'll write more in a day or three.

yaaaayyyyy... after much hard work at school, i have learned that i have the greatest parrents eever... i didn't get the grades they wanted me to, and they are still letting me go!!!! :P im so happy!!! im in btw
dude, i love jam, and butter, especially off the flesh of a freshly assassinated enemy... but thats not why im posting. i was posting to see if you were going to make it so that the person that was supposed to kill you would be the last person in the chain of assassinations that you would get... i.e. 00draco is the person that is supposed to kill me. now say i was an insane assassin, so i killed a ton of people would 00draco be the last person i would kill?
I noticed this thread and just want to say that everyone participating in this should be mindful and considerate of other guests. Please do not run through the crowds, as we don't want there to be any injuries. I will reiterate that it is very important to respect others and their personal space.

Yes. Each watch has the name of a target written on it. Every time you kill someone, you take their watch and thus their target.
Just a point of clarification: When you kill someone, you take all of the watches they have collected. This ensures that you get their latest target, not just their first one. This also means that it's all or nothing, no second place.
As another reminder, portraits are due August 1st. That's about three weeks from now. I've gotten pics from Chillpenguin, Element Brian and Nephrij. All the rest of you need to send in the pics!

You can also counter-assassinate the person trying to assassinate you as long as you know they were trying to assassinate you (they had tried to grab your watch) where as you would take their watche(s) and assassinate all targets you had.
This looks intersting, I had heard of the game before, but I'm only planning on going on saterday. but I stilll want to play.
Maybe I'll start my own Mini-version for only all day saterday.
Also, could you expand the "gaming" to include minitures, D&D and other board or card games? I think it would be rather unfair to the other players if I had to keep watching out while I play, thus stalling the game (getting up from the table would still be fair game)
Problem with that is that it's not realtime. Games can go on for hours, and someone could just hide out in D&D games all day in order to win. Let's try it this way:
If you wish to kill someone playing a turn-based game (tacticals, etc.) you must first make yourself known to your target. This introduction needn't be formal, like walking up and saying "My name is Inigo Montoya..." etc. Simply mentioning your name in the course of a conversation will do.
This introduces the other element of a ninja's skill: infiltration. You'll never get their watch if you walk up to a table and say "Hi, uh, I'm, uh, Charles, uhhhh..." while staring conspicuously at their wrist area. Instead, be stealthy, be polite, and always be on your guard.

ctishman, the photo has been resent. And for the record, if my target is at a tabletop game, I will use the whole Inigo Montoya bit, just to be funny. Also, when are we all going to get our assignments for the game? Will it be via email a few days before the event, or the day before in person, or some other ninja like method?

If your name isn't on this list, you need to mail me a pic. No pic, no dossier, no play.
