A Challenge, for all you Stalkers/Ninjas/Assassins out there(UPDATED)

By Phlaming Phoenix-. 11/10/10, 11:04 am

Introduction

There are many things that bind us Cos-players together. Enthusiasm for costume making, anime, manga, games, foreign cultures, and tons more. But one thing that seems to be a constant in almost all my dealings with Cos-players, is the urge to stalk. No, I do not mean follow home, or anything of that creepy sort. I mean at a con, stalking people cosplaying your favourite characters, or your friends just for fun.
Most, if not all of you, have jokingly threatened to 'stalk' your friends, or other CNZ'ers for photos.
Well folks, here is your chance to test those skills!
Welcome, to Armageddon Assassination.
Who has the guts, the skills, and the determination to be the best~~there ever was~~, and rise to the challenge.

Basic Outline:

Should you sign up, you will become an assassin. You will receive an Assignment the day before Auck'Geddon(via PM). Within this assignment will be a single piece of information about your target. This could be anything, from a username, a real name, a picture, or even the name of a character they are cosplaying.
In addition to this piece of information, you will also be given an 'assassination' method. This corresponds to what you must do in order to eliminate that person from the challenge.
Once you have eliminated your target, you will receive a point. Your next target will be collected from your previous target, and you will continue on to your next victim.
As people begin to get eliminated, the number of players will reduce and eventually come down to just two people remaining. You have won the challenge once you 'assassinate' the person who was is targeting you.

How to Sign Up:

If you think you would enjoy participating in this event, do the following:
1. Leave a comment below expressing your interest in such an event,
2. PM me(Phlaming Phoenix-), with any questions you for some reason do not wish to post in the thread,
3. When you have decided to enter, PM me with 'AIA Sign Up' in the subject bar.

A bit more detail:

It is not possible to get yourself as your target unless you are the last person in the game.
Assassination methods will vary depending on the target, if need be they will be checked with the target to make sure they are ok with it.
NO, this will not include any actual violence, apologies psychopaths.
If you have any concerns or queries about this please please please post them and/or PM me.
More details will be added closer to the time,
If you have an assassination method you wish to suggest/request, please include it in a PM, rather than stating it below. As much as possible of the actual game itself, I would prefer to keep secret until the actual assignments are given out. ninja

Thank you, and Happy Hunting twisted

EDIT:
Allright guys, Sign ups are closed now.
I would everyone who has signed up, or who has posted in this thread as 'being in' to send me a PM containing the following:

At least ONE of:
1. Your Name,
2. A picture of yourself you don't mind using, i.e. a profile pic or DP,
3. A description of yourself (physical appearance).
Any details about who you will be cosplaying on each day(if you are cosplaying)
One or more requested assassination methods(These are not guaranteed to be the ones I actually use).
Your last access to internet
When you will be at the Con itself.

If I have any questions with any of the above, I will PM you.
Also, if you choose to submit a description of yourself, and I do not think it is detailed enough for the purposes of this game, I will PM you.

EDIT #2:

Alright guys, the time is nearly upon us! Some people have already left for geddon, and so have already received their Assignments.
I am currently working on assignment PM's and will likely be doing so late into tonight, and for a good chunk of tomorrow. I aim to have all the assignments out by tomorrow evening/night. If you are leaving soon and/or require your assignments early for whatever reason please PM me about it.
Additionally, if it comes to the day before the con, and you have not received one, please let me know. I hope I have not missed anyone in my organisation but it is possible, so please just let me know.
If you have any questions about your Assignments I will answer what I can. There is a contact number in the assignment messages, so please use that. Txt only please.
So, Final additions to the rules:

1. Should you wish to stop playing the game for any reason, please notify me ASAP. I would ask that should your target wish to stop playing during your assassination, that you stop immediately. You will be given a new target and continue playing from there.

2. Fair play and honesty will be very important in this game. As I will not actually be present to answer questions, a lot of things will have to be sorted out between each other. The exceptions to this is that a) You can txt me and I will answer what I can, and b) In addition to this you may ask Hyolee123. She has been helping me organise a few things and will hopefully be able to answer a few questions.

3. Please carry with you a copy of your assignment. Alternatively, write down or memorize the key parts to your assignment, such as: Your target, Method of Assassination, and information about your target. This means that should you be assassinated, the game may continue. Thank you.

4. The game does not begin until 10:30am on the Saturday. This ensures that most people will have arrived, and have gotten into the swing of things. If you arrive after this time, you enter the game as soon as you enter the con. Once you step through those doors, you are fair game, and may begin hunting your target. I do not know the layout or schedule for Auckgeddon, but as for out-of-bounds areas, we will begin with the Cosplay Competition. You may not be assassinated while participating in this or observing this event.

5. HAVE FUN! Enjoy yourself. This is what this game, and all of Armageddon is about, so do not forget this rule!

Thank you all for signing up, and I hope you enjoy the game.
Once again, if you have any questions PM or txt me, and I will answer them as best as I can.

This sounds like the most epicest thing ever!!!

PP-senpai i wanna join ~

Do you have to Cosplay for this?

By Blooberry. 11/10/10, 11:43 am

Totally keen! ~~ahhhh I want to do a double agent assasination with Cacti xD because i would be too shy to do anything on my own~~

By Phlaming Phoenix-. 11/10/10, 11:44 am

@J: you do not have to cosplay for this, no. But it could be to your advantage :)
@Bloo: That may or may not be possible. I will be creating a lot of the actual setup over the next few days.

By Kitten Slave. 11/10/10, 11:44 am

I guess it sounds amusing...
Only if my assassination method can be me leaning over and seductively whispering "Bang! You are dead" into my targets ear...

*giggle*

chuu~!

By commandercandyfloss. 11/10/10, 11:45 am

Ohoho, I have so many plans for this.

By Icarus. 11/10/10, 12:23 pm

I'M SO IN!! This is a fantastic idea phoenix!

By Mandie_Chan. 11/10/10, 12:27 pm

So... there is 1 round that lasts the WHOLE weekend.

What happens when:
1) you know who you are meant to look for but you don't know what they look like/what they are wearing?
2) when someone kills you and you don't have your piece of paper with the name of the person you were meant to kill?
3) group gatherings like cosplay comp/chess/cosplay games/cosplay catwalk/other bring everyone together? Does the game still go on as normal?

By **Tamoo**. 11/10/10, 12:33 pm

haha sounds interesting ;D
Sign me up.

By Phlaming Phoenix-. 11/10/10, 12:53 pm

@Icarus: thank you :3
@Mandie:
1. Half the point in the challenge is to find the person. That is part of being a good stalker/assassin. Use contacts, ask your friends, ask their friends, etc. But remember, if they find out who is hunting them, they will be harder to assassinate.

2. You will have to remember your piece of information unfortunately. Whether that is by memory or by a piece of paper, it doesnt matter. Alternatively, I can use a contact or two, and organise actual assignment pieces of paper to be handed out on the first day of the con.

3. As for group gatherings, some may be 'assassination free' zones, such as Cosplay Competition. And if the organisers of other cosplay gatherings does not want this to possibly interfere with their event, they can PM me and/or let me know and those will be added to the 'assassination free' zones.

A full list of rules will be posted. But hopefully it wont be too long, since when have stalkers/assassins? payed attention to rules anyway?
