Assassins

**Sandskimmernewbie** · 05-14-2009, 06:46 PM

Anyone play in high school?

Basic gist of it:

People sign up in teams of two, whoever runs it assigns a team another team as their target. They are also someone elses target, however they do not know who that is. The team has to shoot both of their targets with squirt guns before a certain date (usually 4 days). If you're shot, you're out of the game. If you don't hit your target in the allotted time, you're out of the game. If you do get your target and don't get shot, you advance to the next round and everyone else that was shot or didn't get their target is eliminated. This lasts about 4 or 5 rounds until it's left to two teams, and whoever gets the other first are out. The catch is entry is $10 that all goes into a pool of the kids participating, close to 40 teams, and the winner gets it ALL.

Pretty stoked. Some more misc stuff::

Houses are off limits to enter without a family members consent (pretty common to see kids paying off brothers/sisters to let them in).

5 minute grace period to allow people to get to their cars after school. 5 minute grace period to get into school in the morning.

Stakeouts are common, where people will wait outside for people to leave their houses in the morning for hours just to get the kill.

My sister's school was last week and I dressed up as a Jehovah's Witness to get the kid to come to the door so they could jump out and shoot him. It was SO elaborate, I preached about God for a good 5 minutes.

So I just finished a Ghille suit kit I got as a gift years ago and got so close to finishing and never did. And my Dad has a thing called a "Spot" he uses when flying that sends a GPS signal every 10 minutes on your location in case anything happens in the air. Basically, we throw that in the targets car and get a streaming location of where they are. It plots it on a google map like thing that you can watch from online or get lat/long coords sent to your phone.

Basically, it's a huge deal. No one thinks anything is funny (and the Jehovah's witness thing was hilarious, I'll attempt to upload the video. The kids were PISSED) and it's all anyone does and thinks about for these next few weeks.

Anyone ever heard of/done this/have any creative ideas?

ive heard of the game, it happened at my school a few years back

**skimcowboy** · 05-14-2009, 06:54 PM

OH OH OH Let me play!

**zeus** · 05-14-2009, 06:55 PM

no! im not paying my 10 bucks if he plays!

**LAXitives288** · 05-14-2009, 07:02 PM

This is beyond awesome

**Ammy** · 05-14-2009, 07:24 PM

that sounds SO fun. i dont think they would let actual squirt guns at our school..

**skimcowboy** · 05-14-2009, 07:32 PM

Yeah, cause waterguns could kill... fracking common sense these days lol.

**Ammy** · 05-14-2009, 07:35 PM

I don't see how it would be so hard to get another team. I mean there has to be classes/lunch or socializing time in between classes where they aren't paying attention. even so, you could just chase them and squirt em.

**Noodles** · 05-14-2009, 07:39 PM

we played at our high school this year.

...it was gay as frack. the nerds got way to into it, and instead of squirt guns we used plastic spoons, and you had to stab them in the back without being spotted by the target. if they saw you, you couldnt assassinate them. and you werent aloud to chase them, or do it in front of any school staff.

all in all, not as fun as it sounded

**RexSkimmer** · 05-14-2009, 07:47 PM

a frat did this at my school across campus except with red markers to the throat. basically my dorm was in chaos for a week.

**melogold** · 05-14-2009, 07:49 PM

sounds silly

yah..... like when the deans broke up that huge black people dance circle today and sent those kids to the deans office haha n everyone thought it was a fight it was frackin halarious the whole student body standing on shit to see what was happening everyone running over to the circle ect haha

if u had a squirt gun at our school you would get suspended for like 5 days

**Colin Tracy** · 05-14-2009, 08:16 PM

my roomate did this at his school except the used nerf guns. they got really into modifying them so they would shoot harder. i wish my school had done it

**Ammy** · 05-14-2009, 08:23 PM

red markers sounds good. might try this.

That happened at my school last year. The assassin game on the otherhand I've seen in an old movie.

**benmasters** · 05-14-2009, 08:34 PM

weve been doing it every year for a while now, except we call it water wars. assassins sounds more legit

**Sandskimmernewbie** · 05-14-2009, 09:05 PM

Important to note that in school is out of bounds. School has no control over what goes on because no one brings squirt guns in to the school. Makes it actually tough and requires time out of school to get your kills.

**Boardman29** · 05-14-2009, 11:23 PM

my sister did it last year and won, we play with nerf guns tho. It get pretty intense but it really fun

i played this year. Our version is a little different, there are no teams. i got fracked pretty hard. I was helping my freind get his person and i ended up getting shot. i was real pissed because i was going to stay in my friends car but he talked me in to going into the store where his target was and thats where i got shot. (Target was the store...lol)
A local police officer held a kid at gun point because he had a ski mask on and was creepin around his targets house.

**doug** · 05-15-2009, 07:25 AM

Never heard of that, sounds awesome

**MDskimmerMAtt** · 05-15-2009, 07:43 AM

im going to do this at my school next year

**Sandskimmernewbie** · 05-15-2009, 12:40 PM

It's a bitch to organize and you don't get to play if you do organize it, but if you can get someone else to, it's fracking sick.

**Luff** · 05-15-2009, 12:45 PM

sounds like one of those things that sounds a lot cooler than it actually is

You'd be surprised I think. We'll see a week or so into it. Right now I'm just so paranoid that I'm barely leaving the house. Hahaha.

**beachbum** · 05-15-2009, 02:05 PM

My buddies dorm floor played this at UF freshman year.

It was run similarly except there were no teams and they used nerf guns. Like said above, kids were really into it and modifying their guns like crazy to shoot farther. Id make fun of my friend all the time for carrying a nerf gun around in his backpack.

**fireball** · 05-15-2009, 04:07 PM

its kinda shitty if your garage isnt connected to your house. you always have to creep out to your car and inside

**benmasters** · 05-15-2009, 05:11 PM

we also have stunning:
if the target of a team shoots a person from that team, that person cannot attemp to get anyone for 24 hrs.

**Sandskimmernewbie** · 05-16-2009, 07:30 AM

Yep, we have an hour.

So we went out last night to get our first target. With a bunch of tip offs we ended up finding out she was sleeping over at my girlfriends house. Which was super convienent because I know her house pretty well. We snuck up in full camo and the ghille suit I have. Found an open window and figured out they were inside watching a movie. Staked out that window for awhile hoping she would come close enough but never did. So I started texting her saying that I was at a friends house that she lives near and I'm coming to see her for a bit. I got her to tell me to come through the back porch where we have been waiting this whole time. I take off the ghille, gab a water gun, and go in. I tell them that I haven't left with the gun all day because of being scared. Target is sitting on the couch. They ask me who my assignment is and I say "I have some bad news... It's actually Paige." Everyone goes dead silent and she just let's out a "frackKKKKK!" while Joey busts in the door with the ghille suit and sprays her inches from her face. Could not have gone any better.

**megadeth** · 05-16-2009, 07:44 AM

Damn. That sounds like the greatest thing ever.

its funny because you could have easily done this in normal clothes.

Oh without a doubt. We were expecting to beat them there and hide in the bushes or something though. Didn't have time and ended up wearing all this shit the whole time.
