MOY Competition - Assassin's Creed - Overview

HOSTED BY: Daniel Figoni

WHEN: June 21st, in the year of our Lord, 2010

WHERE: Right Behind You!!!

DESCRIPTION: In 2010, Man of the Year will hunt the ultimate game: humans. We shall cloak ourselves in secrecy, take on the role of Assassins, and attempt to soak each other with the most tap of waters. We enter this competition knowing full well that we will be stalked, chased, and slayed (save but one). Such is price to feel alive.

The Fine Print

Because every man must also be able to work in a group, the Assassin's game will commence in teams. Competitors will be placed on one of six teams and will receive their first targets on Monday, June 21st. Hunting season opens Friday, June 25th at 5:00 PM. Teams have four days (until Tuesday June 29th at 5:00 PM) to eliminate their initial targets. Anyone who has not made a kill on a team that has not eliminated all their targets within the given timeframe will be put on the Disavowed List. Once on the Disavowed List, anyone still in the game can kill you. Once a whole team is eliminated, the team targeting that team will receive new targets.

A kill is made by applying a direct hit (above the knees, on the body / head) of the intended target. Assassins may either use a MoY Assassins Game officially sanctioned water gun or water balloons.

If and when you eliminate a team, the Overseer shall provide you a new list of targets. If you don't eliminate your new target within four days, you will be placed on the disavowed list. Once two teams remain, each Assassin will fend for himself and the overseer will provide new, individual targets.

Play continues until one person remains, when we will finally know who the greatest hunter is, and there can be only one. Details as to scoring can be found below.
