As some of you may or may not know. Some people/places mostly schools play a game called Assassins. You and another person you choose to be with are on a team. You get 2 targets to "assassinate" while one other team gets to "assassinate" you. However the catch is, no team knows who's trying to "assassinate" them, they only know thier targets. And the "assassination" can only happen by squirting someone with a water gun. Both parties must be squirted within 24 hours of each other. And the honor code applies.
So now that I explained it, I'll tell you of my first encounter.
*Flashback* I was playing online. Playing a Poker game while playing WoW leveling my profession. It is about 8pm EST. My moms boyfriend walks in the door and tells me I need to go to bottom dollar where my mom works and pick up groceries I had requested she get so I can snack on something. Mostly yogurt. I say to myself "fuck, blinds are going up in this poker game and I need to go all in and when to sustain myself while im afk" I go allin, decent hand Queen King, chip leader calls, Ace King, beats me high card. Well that was a bust. So I got up and started to head to Bottom Dollar.

I leave My house at A. Before I go I grab my skateboard and Ipod to make the trip easier. I head towards Bottom dollar and get their in about 5 minutes. I see my mom, she gives me the groceries and I head back. I get to my street and I notice this blue 4 door sedan. It passes me just barely because of how slow he is going then it parks on my right so I pass it. He then starts to drive again and me and him reach the stop sign at the intersection of my street and paper street. I then continue pushing on my board, a bit tired since I haven't skated since the summer prior and the bag of groceries is weighing me down. The whole 12 yogurts and 2 hot pockets.
He then pulls up beside me at point B and asks my name. I confirm that it is my name and I see him reach for something in the middle console.
It all finally clicks and in that one moment, I take off. Because my street is one way, I run the way I just covered. Full spring with skateboard in left hand, groceries in right. I make the right turn into paper street and I keep running until I go through the alley into the park n ride. I make another right and walk a bit to kinda hide myself behind some houses at point C. After about 5 minutes of catching my breath and thinking of the way I should go I figure to keep going forward towards the school parking lot. I head south where I encounter a fence, I consider jumping it or turning back. I decide to jump it.
I toss my skateboard over and try to gently put groceries over. This bag felt like 10ibs when I was skating with it home....now, it was like paperweight. My adrenaline really kicked in. I jump the fence and proceed south at D. As I am walking, I notice a blue sedan again going up east on boulder street. I don't think he noticed me so I kept walking and was going to cut through the usual yard I go when I walk home at E.
I continue walking until I notice a blue 4 door again pull in at the parking lot. I see it, and pray its not him. Then the car engine roars, and I know he's onto me again. I ditch the usual walk home and proceed to jump the fence at D. Its about waist high, and I throw my skateboard over followed by the groceries. I sprint through the lawn and launch my skateboard over again, and toss the groceries once more. Now I am at my weakest point.
I am at F. Once and a half blocks from my house. All he has to do is head down on random side street make a left and another immediate right and hes on my tail since its also a one way, but going the direction I am going. I grab my shit and book it for the home stretch. I sprint down the other street and turn onto my street and make it into my house.
Safe at last.
I access the situation afterwards.
-One pair of headphones lost (Lost these at F on the final sprint. I realized I dropped them but was to afraid to backtrack.)
-2 yogurts exploded open. KIA.
However I did have valuable intel and it was who was assassinating me and the car, so I called my partner and let her know whats up.

Our school Assassins game starts in exactly 42 minutes :D im waiting for 9 p.m. for everyone to get their first target. We have about 700 people playing this year! I can't wait haha. I'm carrying a water bottle 24/7 with me that has a hole in the top of the cap so i can squirt water instantly if needed ;D
|
Yeah, the seniors at my school, play this game a lot for senior year.
|
This is the first year our school is doing it and its open for Juniors and Seniors. It was completly nuts because you can't do anything from the assassination except run to safety. A man should never be hunted..
|
That sounds so fucking badass.
+ Show Spoiler +I totally would have just standed there like an idiot, not realizing the situation until it was too late.
|
Excellent useage of diagrams. I'm glad to hear you escaped. What an intense game!
|
Haha in the city where I live high school seniors play a variation called "Gotcha!" where you don't have a partner and everyone has one target. You could also escape being caught by linking arms with someone. (don't remember if they have to be playing the game or not)
It made for some funny stories xD
|
Haha thanks Dark and Zaranth. And I wrote it out originally and re read it and thought, that makes no fucking sense. So I drew the diagram to follow it while I backtracked the story and I must say, that is the best picture I have ever drawn in MSPaint.
I am now realizing how terrifying this game is going to be...having to take different paths to school, always taking the more open roads with more escape options, etc etc. I get to go to school late/leave early so that's a HUGE advantage since I'm not stuck with all the students at the end of the day. But I'm just not ready for the day they get me, completely unprepared.
EDIT: I also temporarily disabled facebook so no one who doesn't know me can get anymore information + I am newer to the school so I don't know many/they don't know me :X

My fraternity ran a game once, we advertised all over the school. It was an awesome game. Our president wasn't happy, though, when he got called in to talk to the campus public safety officers because of our posters. It was a photo-copy of a pretty realistic looking watergun with the words "It's Coming!" and "Be Ready."
Maybe we should have thought that through a little more.

Damn man, reading this game, sounds freaky as hell. People in cars chasing you down? I thought it'd be more of an in-school game. Sounds fun though.

The school is actually completely against in school. It is not allowed to "squirt" your target at a school function/even and on school grounds. Your also not allowed to "squirt" them while they are on the clock or in a moving vehicle.
|
Wish my school did something like this LOL, sounds crazy.
|
I played this my senior year in high school. It was a ton of fun. We didn't have teams though. The fun part was right after school while everyone was walking to their cars. The senior parking lot was about 200 feet or so from the closest door (the school building was safe, but outside was fair game), and everyone was either sprinting to their cars or constantly rotating as they walked.
|
I've played this 2 times so far, except we don't have teams, instead of squirt guns we use plastic spoons to stab, and if you find your assassin you can kill them before they get to you. Last year, I nearly won actually, which was exciting. This year, though, my assassin was my room mate, so I was killed on day 1  It's a lot of fun, though, if the players really get into it.
|
Pretty sick, love the detailed map lolol : )
|
My high school has been doing a version of this where we are assigned a target, and must kill that target within a week with a nerf gun. At that point, our target changes to the target that the person we killed had, and then it continues like that.
|
Yea there seems to be different variations of sorts, but I am sure the thrill is almost the same with anyone.
|
I suppose this is what happens when the national drinking age is 21...
|
INTENSE!!!
Nice dodging man, too bad you lost some stuff on the way.
|
Walking to school I discovered my headphones, and they do still work so no worries about buying new ones, and the 2 yogurts were split open, but I just ended up eating them anyway. ^_^
