Spring Games 2014

1. The proctor will oversee disputes, reports of misconduct, and rule violations. His word is final.

2. You are assigned one target. There is a one week deadline to complete your assignment. You will be eliminated if you do not meet this!

3. Assassinations are completed by marking your target with a highlighter.

a. The mark must be on bare skin, but not the face.

4. Assassinations are invalid if there is a witness.

a. Only tributes (players) count as witnesses.

b. Only the act of assassination itself can be invalidated by presence of a witness: seeing someone approach with (closed) marker in hand does NOT invalidate the assassination.

c. To “witness”, for purposes of this game, is defined as being in direct line of sight of the exact point where the marker touches skin, or within immediate earshot of a marker cap being opened, marker clicking, etc. The witness must perceive clear intent to assassinate: it is not sufficient to simply hear someone opening a marker (without seeing an attempt).

d. The witness may not be the target him/herself.

5. SELF-DEFENSE: if you see someone trying to assassinate you, you may mark them in order to gain immunity for 4 hours.

a. There must be clear intent to assassinate: pre-emptively marking everyone you encounter is an abuse and will result in revocation of this privilege (exception: Rule 8c).

b. If you fail to mark them, but they successfully mark you, you are dead (see Rule 4d).

c. The would-be assassin is not allowed to officially acknowledge their target (see Rule 3)

d. It is YOUR responsibility as the targeted to make note of the time during botched assassinations.

e. The self-defense power is allowed only once per day.

6. Multiple assassinations in one day are allowed, as long as newly-dead tributes directly communicate their previous targets to you.

7. Alliances are allowed.

a. Alliances may NOT be made between assassins and their targets—that is, absolutely no truces.

8. You may not, at any time, disclose your target to anyone still participating in the game. This includes official spectators.

9. SAFE ZONES: Zones within which assassinations are invalid.

a. Places of official meetings

- “Place” is defined as only the individual room in which said meeting takes place.

b. Any and all bathrooms.

c. Classrooms, ONLY if you are both enrolled in that particular class together. Classes where only one of you is enrolled do NOT count as safe zones.

d. Living places, ONLY if you live in the same dorm/ apartment as your target.

10. SPECTATORS: Spectators, though not directly participating in the Games, are allowed to express their favor by sending care packages.

a. Care packages may be sent only once throughout the entire game.

b. Tributes may receive only one care package throughout the entire game.

c. Care packages:

- Immunity from assassinations for one day (sunrise to sunrise next day)
