Two great kills in Assassin, a real-life game

A friend of mine told me about this game he is in, simply called Assassin, and I thought I'd share.

The rules are these: you get about 30-50 people, most of who don't know each other, and give each of them the photograph and name of someone else in the group. That becomes their target. Now each player has to find and "kill" his target. By the way, this could go on for months.

Two good kills:

1.

There was this guy who went out to drink beer and have a good time with his buddies one Friday evening, and he picked up a goodlooking girl and brought her home. He poured them both wine, and they chatted and flirted for a while. He went to the bathroom. When he got back to the livingroom, the girl was gone, and in his empty glass was a note saying "You have been poisoned."

2.

A guy was walking down main street in our town, when he suddenly spotted his target in a phone booth. As luck would have it he was carrying around a fake but realistic-looking machine gun in his bag, which he was going to use in a roleplaying game that day. Immediately he grabbed the gun, dropped the bag, and ran toward his target, firing blanks: WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!

A few moments later he was lying face down, handcuffed. A police car had been parked nearby, and the cops tackled this maniac and disarmed him. But he did get his target, who had lost all the color in his face there in the phone booth.

I'm not sure I understand? Do you get pictures of people and then right scenarios in which they could be assassinated, or do you get pictures and actually kill the people, OR do you find your target, and do something that would kill them, but you didn't (e.g. The girl didn't actually poison the guy, just wrote a note saying she did.). Also, did you get this idea from an episode of CSI?

It sounds intriguing and I would like to do it ( Assuming that it's non-lethal.) But you'd probably get in a lot of shit.

That must suck for the machine gun guy, my brother played this in his college, he was "killed" by one of those plastic knifes that go into the hilt when you stab someone :lol:

That game would be so awesome, I wanna play. Of course everyone knows that they dont actually 'kill' each other for real otherwise it could get awkward.

I've heard of it before, and now it sounds even better.
