So in real life, the objective of a game of Assassins is to tag your assigned victim with a certain object to “kill” them. Eventually the end of the game would result in the last man standing, the winner of the game. However, Tris is a forum, so we shall be playing a modified version of Assassins to better suit a forum setting. ;)

Like with any assassins game, there will be an initial sign up period during the first three to five days, depending on how many people sign up. I will then start handing out assignments to all participants. However, this time around, sign ups will continue until the end of the event in case if there are last minute participants. ;)

So in this version, rather than tagging users with an object to “kill” them, you use words to do so. Meaning: You will be given a word (Your “weapon”) and a target (Your “assignment”) via PM. Then, you must find a way to steer your target to type said word in a POST. Not pm, profile message or anywhere else. Forum posts only.

Once you have succeeded in “killing” your target by getting them to post the word you were given, fill out the completion form and PM it to me. Make sure you PM the completion forms to me.

There will be no time limit, so take as long as you’d like to make your kill. However, if you wish to give up on your current target due to difficulty, then you forfeit your potential “kill point” and your target will receive an “evasion point”. To be fair, I will enforce a rule that Roleplayers’ Realm forum and Private Roleplay subforum are off limits from hunting your targets, so any posts there will not account for making kills since posts there are required to be in character for specific roleplays. However, please try to be on and make a few posts at least once ever couple days so as to be fair for the assassin hunting you.

Even after you have been killed, you will remain in the game so as to continue being able to cycle users around since Tris does not have a very large userbase at the moment. This may change if I ever hold this contest again in the future.

At event end, your total “kill points”, “evasion points” and “bonus points” (if any are given out) will be added up and a grand total determined. The user with the largest grand total of points will walk away with the grand prize. :)

If you have any questions, check out the FAQ section of the thread (Post #5). If you can’t find your answer there, then feel free to ask me. :)
