Any New contracts for the NEW YEAR?

Chazz went out with a bang.

2007-07-22T07:42:52Z

I'd been watching him all week.

Tracking him as he went about his daily business, laughed with friends over a beer, and danced at his favorite venue.

With caution he would hug friends, surreptitiously checking for concealed weapons that would end the night with one of them dead. Even getting a free drink from a close friend, he would hold it up to the light with an expert eye, looking for that telltale swirl of a poison settling to the bottom of his bubbly.

Then it hit me, his one weakness. His ultimate vice would be his downfall.

Finally my chance came, he stepped outside to enjoy the night air and moved away from the crowd.
As I approached I could see the suspicion in his eyes..

"The beautiful blond at the end of the bar asked me to give this to you." I said with a wink and a smile as I handed him the thick envelope.

"Thanks dude!" His eyes lit up as he glanced through the window at the gorgeous woman examining a flyer at the end of the bar.

I turned and walked away, glad to know his last moments would be happy ones. Ten steps later I heard the muffled explosion as the 8 ounces of C4 exploded, sending the double edged razors packed alongside it ripping through him.

Salary Guide

2007-07-19T20:30:18Z

Ok I want the currency to be realistic for current prices on the market. I've heard something like $10,000 to assasinate someone (rumored) so that seems like a good starting number.

A kill is worth $10,000
Style Point $1,000 -> $10,000

------------------------------

Bodygaurd costs you $100,000
Yep you gotta axe 10 people to make that kinda loot.

I'm the only one giving out contracts right now so I don't wanna see anyone ordering hits right now. Please wait until we have some mob bosses Ok Bada bing.

Sylvain is dead.

2007-07-14T18:21:53Z

Combat Knife.
Check.
Poison.
Check.
Gun.
Check.

I was ready to kill a man.

It was an average night in San Francisco. I was attending a social gathering of a group of some-what like-minded people. I actually rarely ever attend these things but word on the street was that Sylvain was going to be there tonight. Having no luck tracking him down, I figured I would just sit and wait for him to come to me.

I was with my girl Tank and our mutual friend, VC. It was nice to have a couple pairs of eyes and ears to help me along. But as it turned out, they weren't even required. Sylvain was already there when I had arrived. I wasn't a 100% he was the guy at first having only seen a few pictures of him. If you're gonna kill someone you're not 100% sure about, you should have your head examined.

So I made sure to keep an eye on him for a while. Tank and I casually walked about, every now and then stepping outside for a smoke. My first thought was to poison one of my cigarettes and offer it to him. Would have been very stylish, but my research proved that he just got over pneumonia and probably wouldn't want one (if he smokes in the first place). Then I thought I might stab him in the crowd. The people here have the kind of sense of humor that just might allow him to not be taken seriously when he would stagger around bleeding saying he had been stabbed. The jokes that people do... No. It was going to be the gun. Stabbing was too risky and too messy for my tastes; if I have no choice, I'll stab someone, but if I kill them some other way, I will.

My Colt .357 snub nose Magnum is referred to as the "Colt Combat Python" and it is marked as such on the barrel. It has fully checkered walnut grips, which are perfect except for a small ding on right bottom. The finish is the high gloss black and is also perfect except three light scratches on left frame at bottom and behind cylinder. I had made sure the bore and chambers are clean and the ramped front sight is proper. A relative of mine who owned a few Italian restaurants and business in Little Italy of Manhattan Island who said I had “spunk” gave it to me. He offered me a brief job and in return he gave me the gun.

Now it was time to use the gun again. I had followed Sylvain around almost all night and had no opportunities. So I went outside with Tank and VC to talk and smoke. And as luck would have it, Sylvain came out shortly after and was talking to his friends right next to us. So I just casually spoke with my girlfriend until I heard Sylvain say, "I'll be right back, I only be gone or a moment." This was my chance. Right as he passed me, I kissed Tank then ran four steps after him and took three shots all hitting him in the back.

Then I walked back to my friends and finished my cigarette before going inside for tea and pie.

Now I have the name of my next hit and hopefully I will have an easier time of tracking him/her down.

phoenix is dead

2007-07-05T04:27:09Z

The assassin Phoenix was killed by my hand two days ago.

7.2.07
Phoenix

The sun was blinding. Hurrying toward the fashionable end of Berkeley’s Telegraph Avenue, I wiped the sweat off my face and cursed the heat. Two failed attempts to catch my mark alone at home had forced me out here into this crowd to try and tag her in commute, when she should be unguarded. I knew that this was not one of my better ideas; I’d never seen her office and didn’t know where she habitually parked, but I had word from a good source of where she ought to be and when. I cursed myself for lack of planning and recon and cursed the time for passing. The heat made speed near impossible, but I moved faster anyway. I would not miss this hit.

I found my rat half a block from her building and waved in greeting. He grinned and gestured that I should follow, and led me, panting, out of the press of shoppers and into a shadowed concrete walkway. Glass-fronted shops [Candy! Tobacco! Adult magazines!] lined the way down to where Phoenix should be leaving her office in ten- no, seven minutes time. I slouched against a pay phone near the doorway and looked around. The place was nearly empty, without cameras or guards, and nobody paid me any attention.
To be safe, I turned my body to face the phone booth and stuffed the grimy receiver under my ear before I brought out my tiny two-shot derringer.

‘Piece of shit gun,’ I thought fondly, smiling. The horrible thing was ancient and miniscule and, for reasons unknown to anyone but poor dead Missy Wilma, was painted a flamboyant purple. My Remington was a fourth-generation hand-me-down, a post-mortem gift from my great-grandmother, left to me hidden in her box of jewels and trinkets. I had loved it and restored it and I carried it everywhere; today, on a close-quarter kill in hot summer daylight, it was the only firearm I trusted not to draw any attention.

Not that it mattered, really: anyone who’d ever seen it assumed it was used for paintball or something. The gun’s ridiculous color made it look like a toy.

I palmed the old purple derringer and checked my watch. Five minutes; time enough for a cigarette, if I’d had any. The rat’s eyes were tracking someone through the office’s plate glass window. I resumed my slouch against the phone booth, keeping the door in my peripheral vision. My heart thumped once, twice.

‘This is it,’ I told myself. ‘I’m gonna miss that girl.’

The office door swung open, and my hit stepped out into the corridor, wearing dark blue silk and with her blonde hair bouncing just above her shoulders.

“Tank!” she exclaimed, “What’re you doing here?”

I reached out and pulled her into a hug. “Hey, Phoenix,” I said. “I’m here to kill you.”

The tiny bang from my tiny pistol went unnoticed by any onlookers. I held her at arm’s length and watched her blue eyes widen, watched as her lips formed an ‘o’ of surprise, then came together in a smile.

“Good hit,” she said. “Go tell Craig, he’s across the street.”

I followed her down as she sagged, and we sat together, just for a moment; then I closed her wide blue eyes and left her slumped against the wall. Nobody saw me leave, and I had one shot left just in case.

Random Ideas from the GM - Please Read/Comment

2007-06-27T07:48:45Z

Currency will remain digital to save printing and delivery costs.

1. Memebership Card
Would like to make a nice membership card (license to kill) with a mug shot and important information like player name and a legal discalaimer for the authorities on the back. Card will be used to get discount or free entry into private events. Also signfies that your playing the game and can kill someone. Printed on the card will be an agent ID # used to access an online digital bank account that's being designed right now.

2. Agent Training Program
Would like to do a once or twice a month traing day in the park. I can checkout your weapons, issue player ID cards, take pictures, and generally have fun shooting people. Players will get cash for attending/hosting the event. Will be in a public place and encourage more people to play the game. Also an opertunity to meet some people and get intel on folks.
Does this work for you? Would you attend? When is the best time? Where is the best location?

The Triad

2007-06-25T06:34:37Z

It was bound to happen. As the hitman underworld scrambles to pick a winner in a sick Darwinian play, an organization has risen to dominate the stage and strike fear into the thugs who would call themselves hitmen. With operatives in all parts of the bay, this shadowy council scopes and executes its targets with ruthless efficiency. Other groups may follow, but the Triad will always be the first, the feared.

Don't bother people at work

2007-06-22T07:05:58Z

We don't want anyone getting fired over a game so if you know where someone works do it after they leave the premisys.
This is in response to someone doing a hit on Sion(Troll) at BAGG. He vends from that space so your going to have to take care of the job somewhere else.

Gangs

2007-06-21T18:34:14Z

Ok the death count is very low right now. Cmon people I need some carnage!
I have just re-issued all the contracts so everyone is in the game unless they don't have a photo posted.

I think if we had Gangs people could team up and take care of a couple hits in a day, that might pick things up a bit.
So talk amongst yourselves and try to do some orginization. After you have a group of "co-workers" elect a boss and I'll give your group a handfull of contracts to hit and a time limit. Yes that's right you need to get the job done quickly.

Along with the formation of gangs I will allow use of "special" weapons. These will include.

Bombs - did you hear something go beep?
Poison - hey this tastes funny.
Garotes - no will hear a sound
Sniper rifles - High pressure water guns or similar

I will also make intel available to your team to expedite the assasinations.

Self Defence - Surviving the attack

2007-06-19T00:52:01Z

After some consideration I think self defence should be much like real life. So ....

If you find someone trying to kill you, you can in self defence kill them. When they are dead I simply give them another contract. It's a failed kill. This has the effect of having a bunch of people come after you one at a time. A good assasin will identify who is after them and kill them just at the right time. I may also offer the assasin a bonus for surviving multiple attempts on his/her life.

If you kill an inocent bi-standard then you are dead/In Prison as well. Don't go shooting people because your paraniod. If you get caught killing random people then you will get penalized! May create alowences for bailing someone out of prison, maybe not.

In or Out your never safe

2007-06-15T20:17:24Z

Don't think that just because you died your safe. Once you die there are new players to go kill, expect contracts and try to stay alive a little longer!

Had fun with starting the kills Wednesday night

2007-06-15T19:55:27Z

How do we know how many people are playing in the first round? Is the point not to know? I am aware of one assasination and an attempted one and for me my target was no where to be found. Still on the hunt.................

bodygaurds

2007-06-15T19:54:11Z

Ok I'm toying with the idea to have body gaurds and I need some input from the players.

How about you can "hire" a body gaurd with your "cash". The body gaurd can kill someone who has your contract but if he kills someone who doens't have a contract I'll pick three assasins and put a hit on his head. The body gaurd can physically shield the Assasin. When the Assasin is killed the body gaurds is still "bonded" to service for the next 24 hours. During this time the body gaurd can kill the person who killed his boss. After that he's free to do whatever he likes. Body gaurds can "protect" as many people as they like. Assasins can only have one body gaurd.

Ok Please post comments positive or negative.

Rules clarifications

2007-06-15T19:41:59Z

I am trying to figure out a couple things, just to clarify.
The only hitmen who we can affect during any given round are our contract, and the one who has our contract right, unless we are a body guard?
Are contracts unique? Does every hitman have a contract on them all the time, or are there periods of "ganging up?"

Cold Hard Cash

2007-06-15T07:41:47Z

I'd like to give everyone some killer money, but I need an excuse to do so. The whole idea is that we start an internal economy making it possible to hire hitmen and bodygaurds, as well as extort people and pay them off for information. Sounds nice right?

The catch. I have no excusses of why I would be giving out money. Can anyone help me create a working economic system for this game. Also bear in mind that printing full color money is costly so the denomenations will be limited and I might as for a small contribution for playing the game to cover production costs.

What do you think? Please post comments!

Introduction - Please read

2007-06-13T21:48:36Z

Welcome to the game of Assasin!

You have joined the tribe to participate in a live action role playing game taking place in the Bay Area around San Francisco. We're all here to have a little fun. Your going to travel to new places meet new people and kill them. It's up to you to figure out when and where and how to kill your target. There is also always somoene trying to kill you so be aware.

The legal Stuff: Eww.
Ok hey it's just a game. I don't asume any liability for your actions, it's up to you to act within the law and not draw undue attention to your activities. None of us are terrorists so please don't get caught doing something that looks criminal. That said we're also assasins so hey make it look good.

The first rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club
The second rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club

Well we really want more people to kill so please invite your friends lovers and co-workers to play the game. The early rounds are a free for all to see who actually participates then things get complex with mob bosses, new weapons, style points and cold hard cash.

Lastly I have no idea who most of the people playing are and also have no idea who is dead so to keep things simple for me the GM please post a description date and place of your kill. Try to make it sound like a story more then a report. If it sounds cool I'll give you style points. This is the only way I have of knowing what it's like for the players.

Have fun be safe and watch your back.

Finding your target

2007-06-12T22:11:13Z

Welcome to the first round of killer, hey it's just a game right?

You have been hand selected for being demented and you must now assasinate your fellow compettiors to stay alive. The first round is a simple ring, kill your target take his contact and kill kill kill. Eventually there will be one man standing. (or woman). You can only use simple toy weapons nothing fancy so just do it.

If you discover that your contact is located in say Iowa I'll just off them myself and give you the next contact.

Membership Drive

2007-05-15T07:03:23Z

I'm shocked to discover that people are still sending requests to join the tribe. Ok here's the deal we really need a critical mass to start the first game. So I'm going to ask all of you to do one GIGANTIC thing for the game at large. You must all get one person to join. Tell that person after they join that they should do the same thing.

Current time scale. I'm returning to the bay area in about a month. I'd be happy to DM a game when I return. I think we have all the necessary groundwork laid. There will be no currency in the first game. We just need some more people!

Please do what you can.
