Debian Assassins

Get ready for the first Debian Assassins showdown in Oaxtapec. The game is quite simple and very fun.

Rules

Here are the rules by which I ([wiki:madduck madduck]) would like to play. Please add comments below.

Everyone gets a target person assigned, randomly and secretly, forming one big circle, where you only ever know who the next person is. Your task is to "assassinate" this next person according to a set of rules. No violence involved other than in the name of the game.

If you "killed" your target, s/he has to disclose his/her target, which then becomes your next goal. I'd like to assume we're all fair game: when someone gets killed s/he doesn't act up but reveals the next target. If there are problems, I suppose you turn to the referee (Robert). Your "kill" is also published to the wiki (with all the juicy details).

In the end, the one with the largest number of "kills" wins.

The process of "assassination" is governed by a few rules:

  • you must touch/brush/pet/whack your target with a pair of (clean) socks on the upper body. The sock has to be in your hands at the moemnt of contact.
  • no other participant of the game may witness this act. If someone does and announces it (or confirms the victim's claim), your mission failed. You must wait 24 hours before you can retry (but now your target knows whom to watch out for). The other rules still apply as before, meaning you still have to catch your target alone after those 24 hours. So you better be careful.
  • you are not allowed to "attack" in the person's own room or house.
  • bathrooms are off-limit.
  • never talk about the game to anyone while it's going on. Well, that's a guideline, not a rule. This isn't fight club after all. :)

AigarsMahinovs: If there are people areound at the time of the assasination, but nobody actually saw the act being carried out (like a stealthy stab in the back while walking by), does that still count? :D

It depends. I think either the target should be allowed to confront the potential witness(es) in the presence of the "killer", if those witnesses are honest about it (should only participants be potential witnesses?). Otherwise it might be easier to require the witness to step in immediately and say "I saw that"; if that does not happen, tough luck. I think I prefer the latter.
