- Assassin's CRED: Gameplay and Rules
- Object:
- To be the last player standing.
- Method:
- Assassination.
- Overview:
- Each player (or assassin) will be issued with the name of their assigned target. The assassin must then attempt to “kill” this target before being “killed” themselves by the assassin who is hunting them. When a kill is made, the assassin will be assigned a new target. The process continues until only one person remains or the Admins proclaim the game over.
- Technicalities:
- Each player will be contacted and will receive two words: a “life password” and a “death password”. They must remember these and keep them secret.
- When a player is given a target, they are also given a “kill password”.
- A kill is made by reciting to a person something similar to “Bang, bang: you are dead” while having one hand on that person's shoulder.
- The killer must then supply the target with the “kill password”. The target then compares the “kill password” to their own “death password”. If the two are identical, the hit was legal and the target must give the assassin their “life password”.
- If a bystander notices the kill and informs the assassin as such (without being asked by the target), the kill is rendered void and did not take place.
- Once a kill has been made, the assassin must contact their handler (see Reporting a kill, below) to confirm the kill.
- They will then receive a new target and “kill password”.
- If the kill is found to be illegal, this fact will be published on the CRED noticeboard. Killed victims should check the noticeboard the next day to confirm that their death was legally executed. If not, the victim is still in the game and may still hunt. The assassin will be notified by SMS or message.
- Killed victims, or victims that, to the best of their knowledge, have been killed, may not assassinate anyone, until they have confirmed that they are still active.
- Reporting a kill:
- All kills must be reported
- You report kills in one of two ways:
- 1. SMS your name, the target's name and their “life password” to xxx-xxx-xxxx
- 2. Private message your name, the target's name and their “life password” to your Handler on facebook.
- The Handler:
- For the duration of the game, you will be working under your Handler: Mr Assa Sin. Mr Sin is available on facebook under the same name. All work related issues are to be sent to him in a private, unencrypted message.
- Contacting the organisers:
- The game organisers are:
- Robert Spencer
- Ross Shardlow
- Daniel Snow
- Alex Blom
- Ross Flugel
- Adam Schoeman
- Carl Osborne
- If you have any questions, contact one of these people in person.
- Alternatively, SMS xxx-xxx-xxxx or message your handler on facebook (see The Handler, above).
- Help! Someone just told me I'm dead. What do I do?
- 1. Stop what you are doing. Check that the person is touching your shoulder. If they are not, tell them that they must touch your shoulder and get out of there before they do.
- 2. If they have got a hand on your shoulder, ask them for their “kill password”. They must tell this to you, or you are not dead. Check that this is the same as your “death password”. Be honest! The game only works on honesty. If they are different, kindly inform the assassin as such and get out of there.
- 3. If they are the same, we are sorry but you have died. Please tell the assassin your “Life password”. You may not kill anybody now.
- 4. The next day, go to the CRED noticeboard and confirm that you were killed. If your name has not been placed on the board by the end of school that day, you are still in the game.
- 5. If not, you have become a civilian. But do not worry, you can still stop assassinations in progress.
- I think I see my target! What now?
- 1. Check that your target is sufficiently alone. If you feel that they are or feel like chancing it, go up to them, put your hand on their shoulder and say “Bang bang: You're dead”.
- 2. Wait a few seconds. If nobody challenges this (no bystander interrupts), tell the target your “kill password”. If you have your target right, they should then tell you their life password.
- 3. Now you must remember their life password (write it down if it helps)
- 4. After school you must report the kill (see above).
- 5. Wait for a response from your handler.
- You may not:
- Let your kill interrupt any class
- Let your kill be violent
- Refuse to give your password to your assassin if the kill is legal
- Go around randomly killing people
- Indicate a kill by touching any other part of the body than the shoulder
- You may:
- Make a kill in the corridors in between class.
- Make a kill before or after school
- Make a kill outside the school premises
- Work with your friends
