Once upon a time - and twice on Sundays.

Assassains

So, someone suggested this for the Mad Scientists. But it seemed like something you folks might like to do in your room, so I'm putting the idea here as well.

We should have an assassins game:

Rule #1-Set up an assassins group. (friends, family, arch rivals).
Rule#2- no weapons, just IMAGINATION!
Rule #3- You have to "kill" your fellow rivals by the end of the day by tapping them on the back before they can turn around and aknowledge your prescence.
Rule #4- Once your killed, your killed until day break the next day.
Rule #5- You don't get points for style, although it makes the game more interesting. (roof climbing, bungee jumping, diving through windows)

Thoughts?

Then when an assassin gets tapped, they have to give up their band [or one of them, depending on how many they've collected]. Whoever has the most by the end of the Event wins...something.

Assassins could group up if they want to
, but they could also turn on their allies and kill them as well.

I can see this working out relatively well.; ▶ Reply to This

Those who have the most spoons at the end...win. The trick is that the spoon has to be normal size (no mini spoons!) and easily accessible to others. No hiding it down your pants as much as some of you may like it.; ▶ Reply to This

The advantage to clothespins is that they easily pin onto clothing, shoes, hats, purses, or whatever else, unlike spoons which might require pockets or cleavage.; ▶ Reply to This

Completely unrelated. Proceed.; ▶ Reply to This
