The game consists of players iteratively eliminating their targets while attempting to avoid their own targeters. The last player alive is the winner.
You can eliminate a person only by successfully hitting his torso with a weapon; this means either touching him with a held melee weapon or hitting him with a ranged weapon.
Please try very hard to not actually hurt anyone or damage anyone’s possessions.
If and only if you notice your targeter holding a weapon and making a move to attack you or get near you (regardless of whether you are in a safe zone at the time), then you may eliminate that assassin at any time in the future. If you succeed, it is called a “defensive elimination.” All the rules that apply to regular elimination also apply to defensive elimination.
No one is allowed to kill your target but yourself. Others may ’’take bullets’’ for you but they cannot actually kill anyone.
Safe Zones are areas in which you cannot eliminate or be eliminated by anyone. If someone attempts to eliminate you in a safe zone, please inform him that you are in a safe zone and that their ’’elimination’’ is invalid.
Your target is the person you are currently assigned to eliminate. When you eliminate your target, you will be assigned a new target. When the game begins, you will be sent an e-mail which contains your target’s information (name and email address). You will be given a new target within 24 hours of a valid reported elimination.
When you eliminate someone, either while completing your mission or defending yourself from a targeter, you should report the elimination as soon as possible via CampusAssassins.com. You will be given the option to include a detailed gruesome story about how the elimination happened and what sequence of events led to it. The report will be posted on the status page of your game for all to enjoy!
Realistically, the target has no real motivation to report his elimination. Therefore, if the targeter reports the elimination before the target has, the target will be notified via email and will have 24 hours to dispute or confirm the elimination. If the target does not act within the allotted time, the game’s administrators will assume that he does not dispute the elimination, and the target will be noted as eliminated.
However, we strongly encourage all players to report their eliminations as soon as possible so that games can run smoothly.
When you are eliminated, your alias and user account will be publicly linked and everyone will be able to see who you actually were. If you are eliminated, we ask that you exit the game politely and with good sportsmanship; there will be many opportunities to play again.
Also, when you die, your targeter will be reassigned to target the player whom you were targeting so you should give your target to your targeter when he eliminates you.
