Rules Update! Innocent Civilians Are Now Targets Too (Sort Of)

Good News Everyone!

For those of you who were interested in the game, which starts this weekend, but less interested in the prospect of hunting down your foes, we've decided to add a new role to the game that should interest you: civilian target. Real assassins kill regular people too, or so movies tell me, and if you'd like to take part in the game but don't want to drive all over so-cal stalking your targets, this is how you can do it.

Civilian targets follow a couple of special rules. While blood on the hands of an assassin is expected, civilians can't live their lives that way. They can, and should, defend themselves though. If you've been shot at, or see someone pointing a weapon at you, you should try to take them out before they finish you. Civilians don't get to shoot first, even if they have a reasonable suspicion, but if they score a kill shot on their assassin they "win". The assassin will retreat to lick their wounds, and the civilian is safe. For now... there will be other attempts of course, probably by other agents.

If you're interested in signing up to be shot at with Nerf guns, or if you want to sign your friends up for fun, drop us a line. We'd like to get the same addresses and pics and scheduling information for civilian targets as we do for our assassins. We can even add civilian targets to the game after it starts, so if you get this email late there's still a way for you to join us!

Just don't wait too long. We're starting the game this weekend. If you want to play as an assassin we still need your information and picture sent in, but we're extending the deadline out to Friday, May 1. After that you can still join as a target, but if you wanted to take missions you'll be disappointed.

And lastly, let me introduce myself. Our organizer and geek-tastic host Patrick has left the account and missions in my hands, so he can go chasing after people with foam spitting guns. I'll be assigning the missions out so he doesn't know who's going after who. It's going to be a lot of fun, I look forward to working with each of you, whether it's offering missions or sicking the hounds.
