As⋅sas⋅sin

noun

1. A murderer, motivated by financial gain, revenge, personal public recognition, or mental illness.

2. A hired hit man, especially one who kills by surprise attack, who targets socially prominent figures.

3. The last Menewshan standing.




Do you have what it takes to be a successful assassin?
Or will you be struck down in the dead of night?

This game will decide.

Overview


  • October 31 - November 1 will be designated sign-up days. During this time, if you wish to participate in the Assassin Conspiracy, you will send me a PM with your username.



  • When sign-ups have finished, you will receive a PM from me that contains your victim's name and a codeword.

    For example: I could be given Bob's name and the word "coffee." He would get UniqueUserName & "newspaper," and UniqueUserName would get BritneySpears666 & "sidewalk", etc.



  • The object of this game is to make your victim type out that word in one of their posts during the Halloween Event. If they say that word, then you've "killed" them.



  • After sending me proof of your kill, you will then get their victim's name & word and will try to kill this new person.



  • If you happen to be killed, I will PM you your obituary. Your victim will then be assigned to the user who assassinated you. Your time in the game has ended, may you rest in peace.



  • This will continue until we have a single Master Assassin or until time runs out.

How Can I Prove My Kill?


So you've killed your victim: Now what?

After assassinating your victim, photograph the scene. AKA:
Screenshot the entire webpage on which you found the codeword and do not edit it.
Send this to me in a PM along with their username, their codeword, and the URL of the page that the post can be found on.
After confirming your kill, I will send you the information for your next victim.


For the sake of simplicity, feel free to use this format:


HTML Code:
[b]My Victim's Username[/b]:
[b]Codeword[/b]:
[b]URL[/b]:
[b]Screenshot[/b]:

FAQ



Can I Know My Codeword? Can I Know Who My Assassin Is??

No and No.
Don't even ask me!
True assassins will never be found, never be identified, never even been seen. Besides: If I told you, they'd kill me!

However: If an assassin slips up and somehow reveals themself to you, that is their own fault. They must not be very good at their job. :no:


I'm not going to post! That'll keep me alive! But is that allowed?


No.
In order to play this game, you must post consistently throughout the event and give your assassin a fighting chance. This means signing in and posting in our forums at least 5 times per day. If this is not possible or if you need to take a vacation, PM me.

If I find that you have been hiding in the corner and keeping your lips zipped, I will PM you one warning. If your activity does not improve, you will be scratched off the list. Your assassin will count it as a kill and they will receive your victim.
This is what we call a "suicide." Do not let it happen to you.


My victim isn't posting! Help!

PM me. Tell me the name of your victim, your codeword, and how long it has been since they last posted. I'll take care of it.


I found the word in my victim's blog! Can I use it?

Yes, you can!
If the word occurs in any of their posts, threads, wall posts or blog entries that were made since the beginning of the Halloween Event, then it counts towards the game. Screenshot it!


I found the word in my victim's PM to me! Can I use it?


Sorry, but no.
I do not have the power to check PMs. I would have to trust your word, but with the power of Photoshop I'm afraid that your honest face just isn't enough.


I found the word in a post from 6 months ago! Can I use it?

No, the word must have been posted within the time constraints of Menewsha's Halloween Event. If it was posted a minute before the Event was announced, then it does not count.


Ha, I tricked them into quoting a post that had the word in it! Does that count?


Sadly, I'm going to say no. Your victim did not actually utter the codeword, they simply quoted it. This does not count as a kill.

What Word Variations Count?

If you find the words in the plural form it still counts.
If the user has added only one extra letter (like an s or y), then it counts.
If the user has used it as a compound word (like the codeword is "rail" and they said "railroad"), then it does not count.
If the codeword is a noun and you find it as a verb or adjective, then it doesn't count. That's too much of a stretch.

None of the codewords are chat. They need to spell them out in order to be killed.
But here on Mene, I don't see this becoming a big problem. We support literacy in all our forums, especially during events.


I Can't Find My Victim! Who the Heck is This Person?

Go to your profile.

Take a look at the URL in the address bar: it will say something like http://www.menewsha.com/forum/members/27391.html

Change the end of the address, so that instead of saying /members/24237.html, it says /member.php?username=

After the equal sign, type in the name of your victim. That new URL will lead you to their profile.

That will bring you straight to their profile!

Announcements / Hints & Tips



The Game has Started!

Remember to post a MINIMUM of 5 times per day!
If you are inactive, then you will be kicked out of the game. It's unfair to the other players. :yes:

Hooray for participants!

Just a word for the wise- Sometimes it's fun to pretend that you aren't playing, that way no one expects it when you kill them. :ninja:

Hmm, in that case, Knerd, I'm not so sure if I'm playing anymore, if you catch my drift. ;)
:rofl: Yeah, I'm not the best person when it comes to staying incognito yet still with the intent of being murderous! I'd be a terrible murderer... Nobody would want to go on killing sprees with ME. >w>
I think I'd make Michael Myers run away. :oops:

Last year was fun because a lot of people managed to stay under the radar. Only their Assassin knew that they were playing, so it made it tough to talk about the game and get certain words out of them.

But it's not like anyone is at a real disadvantage if their chatting in here and excited about playing. It just means that more people are trying to get you to talk. :lol:

P:
I regret not being here for last year's Halloween event! I was here for the one in '07, which was fantastic... I loved chasing the ghosts around! Or was it candy? I forget exactly WHAT we chased, but we chased it, that's for sure! :lol:

I'm so thrilled for this contest, though! Will there be an official start time, or is it just after we get X amount of people to join?
