Assassins round 5 signup thread

All the game threads. (It's only teenage wasteland.)

I think we should leave the game board wide, but also have a play thread. Mainly because people are unlikely to post in other threads unless relevant to the thread. The play thread could be one that has no need to follow a certain direction and I know I would be less hesitant to post in it.

But will it be mandatory again?

BTW Azazul, I just saw the episode of South Park where Satan has his Super Sweet Sixteen Party. . . When he stole Azazul's costume I totally flashed on you :lol:

No, I was thinking just another thread for whatever random things we want to say, but can't really say in serious threads.

Funny, I didn't see you flash me.

I saw that one (I've seen them all actually).

All good ideas, unfortunately I haven't had time to decide yet.

Your friendly game ref may not be around much over the next couple of weeks. It's finally time to move. :( Not that my absence will make that much difference in the course of the game. :P

We need some more words, my target stubbornly refuses to say the ones I have!

Making this round board-wide seemed like a good idea but just isn't working out in practice. I'll go ahead with the regular play thread and yes it will come with new kill words.

The move finally happened (don't recall if I've posted here to that effect yet - my mind is not all here) and at the moment I'm having to put up with 2 things: a nasty cold (hence the absentmindedness) and dial up internet. I can't even get some of the pages to load because the server keeps giving me a damn timeout error.

Sometime next week if all goes well my internet access should be more conducive to running this game. Image

And ye have umop back! :D

I've created a game play thread and set up standard Assassins rules in there (including posting frequency, so your targets can't weasel out by not posting there :twisted: ). Lemme know if I've forgotten anything.

This thread left open for rule clarifications.

I did. The question is:

"May I have a rule clarification, please?"

I don't really care which one, you can pick. If you have too many clarifications of one particular type laying around, one of those will do. What ever you feel comfortable giving up is fine with me.

Right then.

*Rule clarification*

If you attempt to counterassassinate by using the words "counterassassination attempt" and you misspell "counterassassination" I won't penalize you for that and it still counts as a valid attempt.

If someone posts one of the kill words in a language other than English, does that count?

Good question. I was tempted to say that if a player's kill word is "door" and they try to weasel out of it by posting "θύρα" that I'd count it as a kill because they come from the same root. But then I'd have to count "thyroid", "thyroxine", "thyreophora", and probably "tyrosine" as well so that'd be kind of crazy.

Now if it's something obvious like "compudora" for "computer" then I'd be real inclined to count it. :twisted:

For a counterassassination, do I have to get all of the kill words, or just one of them?

Yes, just one.

ETA: Don't forget that if you make 3 incorrect guesses in a row without assassinating your target you are eliminated.

I'm confused.... guessing just one is easier than guessing them all.

Anyway, 's up to you.

Does a counterassassination attempt have to be made publicly?

Yes.

Ask all the leading questions you want, but be careful - if your target figures you out they can counterassassinate you. Rule of Counterassassination: To kill your assassin, you must publicly name them and the word or one of the words you think they are trying to get you to say. (Just say "I think so-and-so is trying to get me to say x" or put the words "counterassassination attempt" in your post.) If you guess the right word but the wrong assassin, or if you make 3 wrong guesses in a row (without assassinating or counterassassinating anyone) you will be eliminated.

(bolding added. I'd say "bolding mine" but the original quote is me anyway so it'd be kind of a moo point.)
