Debian Assassins

Get ready for the first Debian Assassins showdown in Oaxtapec. The game is quite simple and very fun. And it's no real time commitment; you do as much as you want.

While you can leave the game at any time, you cannot join once it started.

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 (see below), 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:

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

[wiki:madduck madduck]: 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.


[wiki:madduck madduck]: It's probably better not to publish the kills and juicy details until after the game is over. The less people know, the more paranoid they get.
