The Rules of Canley v1.0

[Chela]

Good morning murderers and victims,

After receiving a lot of encouragement from my initial post I have taken the time to write a more complete set of rules. I have included, where I could, ideas from the previous set of posts and have addressed some of the problems with the original draft.

Presented here are the results for your perusal. Before we try playing this I thought it only fair that the rules be available for criticism. Please post your comments, I have numbered the rules to assist with discussion. If you can see any errors or omissions please let me know, similarly if there is something not explained or that does not make sense please ask and I will try to write a clearer explanation as well as attempt to answer your query in this thread. Also if you have any ideas that you think should or could be incorporated please let me know, I will do my best to include them.

Thanks for all the encouragement so far, it has rubbed off :). Also thanks to Phunksta for his help with the forum.





The Rules of Canley


1. Introduction

Canley is a set of rules by which individuals, societies and groups of loose affiliation may settle their differences through vendetta. Canley is designed so that only those involved in the dispute are involved and the lives of the innocent are spared. Assassination is the means by which this is achieved. Presented here are some rules/guidelines to enable mock assassinations to be performed within the Entropia Universe.

2. The Art of Canley
This section describes the methods by which an assassination may be performed.

2.1 The Weapons.
At the present time there are two methods available to a practitioner of the Art.

2.1.1 A Scanner.
This is the weapon of choice for an assassination to be carried out at a distance, obviously the range of the Scanner determines how close the assassin needs to be to the victim.

2.1.2 A Melee Weapon.
If the assassin is required to get "up close and personal" then a Melee Weapon may be used, for the purposes of the Art a Melee Weapon has a range of zero.

2.2 The Means of Proof.
Both of the above methods require there to be proof of the assassination in the form of a screen shot, examples of successful assassination screen shots are included below, the code of Canley requires that the screen shot:-

2.2.1 Be submitted to the relevant thread or person as defined in "The Terms of vendetta", as soon as possible after the assassination.

2.2.2 Be taken in 1st person.

2.2.3 Have the victim selected (i.e. with the select box around them and their name showing).

2.2.4 Have the date and time visible in the chat box. (To prevent people from using old shots).

2.2.5 Show the weapon of assassination in the hand of the assassin.

2.2.6 That there be no object or person blocking any part of the view of the victim or the select box.

2.2.7 When a Scanner is being used, show the scan of the victim (See first screen shot).

2.2.8 When a Melee Weapon is being used, show the victim to be very close, in this instance only part of the victim and the select box will be visible. Note, the victims name must still be shown in the shot (See second screen shot).

2.3 Other Considerations.

2.3.1 The assassin must not have been previously eliminated. In the event that a good screen shot is posted by an assassin who has previously been assassinated the assassination will be disallowed.

2.3.2 The killing of innocent bystanders is expressly forbidden by the Rules of Canley. To this end there must be no other avatars or non player avatars that could get in the way of the kill (see 2.2.6), I.E. between assassin and assassinated, even a partial blockage is a fail. The killing of innocent bystanders will result in disqualification or possibly an additional vendetta.

2.3.3 Targets may attempt to defend themselves from assassination buy eliminating an assassin or assassins before they have the chance to take out the target. In order to do this they need to use the same methods as described for an assassin (above). A Target acting in this way can remove assassin(s) from the game, however they do not get paid as an assassin would be. Further they are not limited by section 2.3.2 and will not be disqualified for the killing of innocent bystanders, however the bounty on them may be raised due to this. The bounty may also be raised if they prove themselves to be a particularly difficult target.

3. The Terms of Vendetta

This sections describes how vendetta can be initiated and the types of vendetta. (Effectively different games we can play using the Art of Canley).

3.1 Initiating vendetta
This can be done by anyone or any group at any time. All that is required is to post a new vendetta thread. The Terms of Vendetta needs to contain:-

3.1.1 Details of the target or targets. This could be just one name or a list of names, it could also be the name of a society or list of societies. Another possibility is that this could contain two or more lists of names, each list forming a group of loose affiliation.

3.1.2 Any special terms that limit the method used to assassinate or any other conditions. For example "This must be carried out in a public place so the location must be visible in the chat box" and/or "The target must be assassinated with extreme prejudice, so the screen shot needs to show the dead body of the victim in a PVP zone". Not very friendly that one!

3.1.3 The value, on successful completion of the vendetta certain monies will be paid to certain parties. All vendettas do not require payment, this could just be a competition between societies or groups of loose affiliation.

3.1.4 The duration. See 3.3 for details.

3.2 Types of Vendetta.

3.2.1 The Individual Vendetta.
An avatar is chosen as the target, the first player to record an assassination wins. In this game there is no need for the victim to even know they are playing.

3.2.2 The Group Vendetta.
Several avatars are chosen as targets, possibly an entire society, the winner is the surviving player who records the most kills. Again the victims do not need to know they are playing.

3.2.3 Two or more group Vendetta.
A number of groups compete to wipe out all the other groups. The winners are the surviving members of the only remaining group. A group may be a society or a group of loose affiliation.

3.2.4 Kill the Boss.
This is similar to 3.2.3 except that each group nominates a boss, the boss is the target of all other groups involved, other members of the group are required to defend the boss from assassination by taking out the assassins before they get to the boss. This Vendetta concludes when there is only one boss left.

3.2.5 The Ring of Assassins.
This one can get a bit complex and needs to be coordinated by an individual know as the Master of Assassins. In this game no one knows who else is playing, each player is assigned a target, each player is also the target of an unknown assassin. When a player successfully assassinates another player they are assigned the target of the player they assassinated. The winner is the last one alive. This is a game of stealth and deceit. When a screen shot is captured in this game it is necessary to PM it to the Master of Assassins so that the kill can be confirmed, the image is then edited to remove any traces of who took it before being posted by the Master of Assassins. The Master of Assassins would then inform the successful assassin who there next target is and the victim of their demise. It is possible that an assassination my be disallowed because the assassin has already been assassinated and does not know it yet as the Master of Assassins has not had the opportunity to edit and post previous kills.

3.3 Duration.
Vendettas can have a time limit or be completely open ended.

3.3.1 Limited Vendetta.
A limited vendetta can expire at a certain time, for example a vendetta can be initiated to start Friday midnight and be limited to just one or two days. In the event that that there is no conclusion by a certain time and a conclusion is required, surviving individuals could fight it out in a PVP zone.

3.3.2 Open Ended Vendetta.
An open ended Vendetta runs until completed, this will be going on alongside your usual Calypso activities, with you taking advantage of sightings etc. beware, others will be doing the same!

3.3.2 Combination Vendetta.
This is a combination of both of the above, The Vendetta is open ended but a hit can be made only on certain days of the week or between certain hours of each day.

[Chela]

Absolutely no comments about the rules, could be indicative of one of two things:-

1) There is absolutely zero interest (I hope that is not the case).

2) No one can see anything wrong with them. (Extremely unlikely).



The logical next step seems to me to be to test the rules in a real situation. To this end I call for volunteers.

If you would like to participate please post here before 1800 MA on 18-04-08.

Once I know how many want to test this I will choose a suitable vendetta.

Thank you.

[Kets]

I had so much fun time last time being "vendetta'd" I'll offer myself up for sacrifice again.

Only this time, open season on me should be for a week instead of one day and I get the prize if I survive and No, I won't just stay logged off for the whole week either. I know, I'm a glutton for punishment.

There, Chela, that ought to pull in a number of assassins.

[Burgerman]

I thought the rules looked pretty good so didn't comment.

And count me in for Canley - it sounds like fun. :D

:Dlooks good to me :D

Thanks Cantbe :)

Are you volunteering by any chance?

[Chela]

Not much uptake and with the deadline (excuse the pun) rapidly approaching I guess it's time to put my money where my mouth is :).

The type of contest has yet to be decided as it depends on the number of entrants. The total purse will be 100PED (donated by me) which will be divided between the successful assassins in accordance with the terms of the vendetta.

Hope this generates a bit more interest.

[cantbe]

Thanks Cantbe :)

Are you volunteering by any chance?


yes, was late when i posted :D

[TalkerBot]

yes, was late when i posted :D

:-) Ahem. when he or she posted might have been.

[Burgerman]

:-) Ahem. when he or she posted might have been.

Ahem, 100 peds from me to anyone who brings me the head of TalkerBot!!!!
Annoying bot.

Oh, also I volunteer Bunny as a Canley participant (victim) although I will not participate in hunting her for obvious reasons.

[Erach]

You're just scared of her skillet :-)

:skillet::skillet:

[Burgerman]

I'm sure she will chase me with the skillet for volunteering her. :hehe:
No, I meant I won't hunt her because I could know where she is located by looking at her comp screen.

[slartybartfass]

Think you can count me in as well, even as a test victim :)

only thing for me to buy now is a scanner, or to whipe the dust from my Valor.
:D:D:D

[Stratos]

I´m a bit late.
Count me in as what you want ,
my main problem atm is i have to break alot of times .

[Bunny]

[Chela]

I have been thinking about this and I don't see why you should not be able to hunt each other you can both see the others screen, so you both have the same advantage and disadvantage, from where I sit it balances out.

If this is OK with the both of you then I will include you both as assassins?

(A 2nd skillet may prove useful though :)).

[Yanick]

Oh my so many rules! Will I be able to remember all these should I choose to play? Hmmm, but seriously Kudos to you good job on coming up with this great idea. Always good to find new ways to make EU more interesting and worthwhile.

Hi Yanick,

Don't think we have spoken before, nice to hear from you :).

I know the rules look a bit daunting for an EU event but they are not really that complicated, most of them describe what is required in a screen shot. Having come form the generation of FRP games with tomes of rules and stats. these seem fairly simple.

Hope you do decide to participate, the purpose of this second vendetta is to test the rules and having an uncertainty of them helps to do just that :).

Please let me know soon so I can decide which game we will be playing.

[Chela]

A Vendetta is declared:-


The Assassins, of which there are 8:-

Amstek Kets Ketsma
Jelly Burgerman Belly
Harry Cantbe Serious
Slartybartfass slarty bummel
Roger Stratos Fa
Sandra Bunny Doright
Una Griph Alconbury
Sally Tigeress Serious


The Targets, of which there are 10:-

Eike Phoenix Aikenslash
James Dont GiveUp
Erach Erach Vortur
Jane Trinity Cougar
Shimeron Shim Skylark
Sylena Sylc Aleska
Chela Cee Bias
Anna Ufo Avaimenpera
Sarah Nin Jones
Karl Pilki01 Pilkington


If anyone chosen as a target has an objection please let me know and I will replace you, I have no wish to offend anyone.

I have chosen mostly people on this forum as they are on-line often and hopefully some of them are know to the assassins, this should help speed things along. There are two not from the forum just to make it a little more difficult.

Each target has a value of 10 PED. Once a successful kill is recorded the target is removed from the list and the value added to the value of the assassin who killed them. Targets are not permitted to assassinate each other or assassins.

Each assassin has an initial value of 0 PED. Assassins are allowed to kill each other, when a successful hit is made on a fellow assassin the current value of the victim is added to the value of the killer. The dead assassin is removed from the game.


Duration.

This vendetta begins at 0000 MA on Sunday the 20th of April 2008.

There will be a time out due to the Eut Soc hunt between 18:00 MA and 23:00 MA on Sunday the 20th of April 2008. No assassinations made or posted during this period will be valid.

This vendetta concludes at 2400 MA on Saturday the 26th of April 2008.


Proof of assassination


Please post all attempted assassinations to this thread. On a day when at least one assassination has been successful an updated list of assassins and targets will be posted here by myself.


Payment


At the conclusion of the vendetta the value assigned to each surviving assassin will be paid to them as soon as a meeting can be arranged. Targets do not receive payment for surviving.


Additional information


Any queries about this vendetta should also be posted here, I will do my best to clarify these.

I have tried to construct a game that will test a variety of the Rules and the different types of Vendettas.

I hope everyone has fun.

Bunny, please read the rules carefully, you will note a skillet is not one of the approved weapons, thank you. :)

[UnaAlconbury]

Hmm... I wanna kill! Can I get to be an assassin instead? :angel:

:hehe:

Very cool idea this btw, +REP!

[james]

Cool im a target!!! So i must be carfully with the assasins :)

Thanks for the Rep :)

Being careful would be good :) Always good to give them a challenge but don't let it interfere with your normal playing.

Who are you talking about?

[Phoenix]

Hmm, how come I'm first on the list? You defintely have sth against me don't you Cee? Just kidding! I will be the hardest to kill not because I will be evasive or something but due to rarely playing anymore :hehe:

Funny: Phoenix walks into the woods, wearing his almost Full TT Shogun Armor swinging his Valor against any poor mob that happens to cross his path. Having killed a lot of Argos because he has a grudge against them, he feels overconfident and shouts: "Noone will ever [BANG!! (Imaginary Weapon-wanna-be Scanner Sound)]...kill me..." *Dead* ...

[Tigeress]

This sounds like fun, I don,t mind being either a target or an assasin, Add me to the list pls:D

Haha, nice description :). Nothing personal, the order was determined by looking at the gratz for various posts. Maybe the thought of being whacked will encourage you to login a little more often :).

Thanks for participating :) I have added you to the list of assassins, hope you enjoy yourself.

[slartybartfass]

Hello all,

I would like to ask for a time out for this round because of the Eut Soc hunt.
The time out should last from Sunday 19:00MA time to 22:00 MA time. We had some trouble setting up soc hunts again so it would be very kind to interrupt Canley for 3 hours.
Thanks for your understanding

[Anna]

Buahahh, You shall Never kill me :D

I have included this in the conditions of vendetta with an extra hour each way just in case, I know how hard it can be to arrange these hunts. :)

[Burgerman]

100 peds from me to anyone who brings me the head of TalkerBot!!!!

Buahahh, You shall Never kill me :D

100 peds from me to anyone from the current vendetta who posts the canley kill of Anna. :hehe:

Hi Slarty,

I have been thinking about this as it may help if such circumstances are covered in the rules.

To clarify, is the reason for this time out that more than one of the assassins will be participating in your soc. hunt?

Thanks,

[slartybartfass]

Thanks,

not only assassins, but targets as well

[TalkerBot]

Oh I get it.

[slartybartfass]

Oh I get it.

very good, blabber bot. nevertheless the price for your head is 100PED :Sniper:

[Chela]

not only assassins, but targets as well

Thanks for that, I will try to come up with something that will cover it. I am thinking along the lines of a truce being declared between the assassins involved. Of course one or more of them could break that truce after all treachery and deceit are just two of the tools in the assassins arsenal :).

I will let this time out stand as there is little time left to change it and hopefully figure out how to incorporate truces into the rules later today.

Thanks for your help.

[Stratos]

First victim :)
Hope i didnt oversee one pharagraph of the rules and understand it right to post the proof screen here :)

here i go : James Dont GiveUp

Never mind James, I guess there is some fame to be gained from being the first ever victim of Canley.

[Phoenix]

Cee, I have a question since I am a victim. Is it possible, since I know I am being hunted down, if by any chance I meet any of the assassins and they don't see me, to eliminate them so as to protect myself? For example, to use the scanner on them before they do and/or know and thus survive. I am only asking this because I already know I am being wanted and I was wondering if there is any chance for the victims to defend themselves. This way a courageous victim could decide to hunt down the assassins and save himself and his fellow victims. Something like a hero :) What do you say? ;)

[james]

Good ideea Phoenix!!

Hi Phoenix, a very nice idea, well spotted :). I have to admit I have been concentrating on this game purely from the point of view of the assassin and not considering the actions of a target who would try to defend themselves. By following the course of actions you describe you would effectively become an unpaid assassin.

It is late here at the moment and I have an early start in the morning so if you don't mind I am going to sleep on this one. Tomorrow when my head is a little less foggy I will write a new rule or rules to cover this eventuality and post them for discussion.

Thank you very much for a most excellent suggestion :).

Hi again Phoenix,

As promised I have updated the Rules to include this idea:-


2.3.3 Targets may attempt to defend themselves from assassination buy eliminating an assassin or assassins before they have the chance to take out the target. In order to do this they need to use the same methods as described for an assassin (above). A Target acting in this way can remove assassin(s) from the game, however they do not get paid as an assassin would be. Further they are not limited by section 2.3.2 and will not be disqualified for the killing of innocent bystanders, however the bounty on them may be raised due to this. The bounty may also be raised if they prove themselves to be a particularly difficult target.

Please feel free to discuss and question this.

Thanks again for the suggestion :).

Two thumbs up my friend! 4239

PS. Phunk, you may want to add this smilie.

[Anna]

Hmm... This is weird.


I saw Una @ Twins, and i think he killed me.... BUT....

I killed him before that:D

Our respected judges will have to disqualify Una's try to kill me.

[Chela]

Hmm... This is weird.

Good try Anna but this image does not meet the requirement, specifically:-

2.2.3 Have the victim selected (i.e. with the select box around them and their name showing).

Better luck next time :)

[Anna]

Oeh noeh...

I hope Una didnt get me :S

[Chela]

Oeh noeh...

I hope Una didnt get me :S

If he did he is taking his time posting :)

Phew... so you didn't get a valid screenie either :D Guess we both had some luck then. I actually scanned you before you scanned me, but I broke this rule:

2.2.2 Be taken in 1st person.

(Which I realized a minute later, therefore I returned to get you again, but then you had a scanner in your hand and almost got me instead ;))

Here's my scan. Guess we both are still alive then:

4254

However, I managed to assassin Bunny shortly after:

4255

I hope I did right this time? :D

[Chela]

Or hes whining in the corner because he didnt get me :D

He does not strike me as the whining kind. it is more probable he is confused by the lack of swirlies :).

[Chela]

Nice one Una, a good clean kill, Bunny is history.

Glad you realised your own error with the attempt on Anna, it means the Rules make sense :).

Congratulations.

[Burgerman]

Poor Bunny. Gratz Una. :ok:

Or hes whining in the corner because he didnt get me :D

Actually Una is probably hiding in every corner, in every shadow, behind every tree, just waiting to pounce and scan you. Nowhere is safe Anna. In EU no one can hear you scream. :hehe:

[Anna]

Thank god im alive...

Good duel, i have to admit. My heart stopped when i was standing next to Vote, and i saw this guy raising scanner towards me... Then i look at name... Una Griph Alconbury.

I rushed behind Vote, and he didnt get me :)

After that he fooled me and said he got me :(

But in the end, nobody was killed. (Except Bunny, R.I.P.)

[Burgerman]

Please make some suggestions for improvement.

Blabberbot, self destruct!!!

Yeah right, as if I am going to reveal that. :rotfl:

After that he fooled me and said he got me :(

But in the end, nobody was killed. (Except Bunny, R.I.P.)


A very good duel, clearly your fight back was enough to save you from being terminated, you can thank Phoenix for suggesting the amendments :).

Have to say I am very pleased with the way this is working out :)

You know what? This way being an assassin is surely a disadvantage now :hehe: Assassins are being hunted down from both victims and other fellow assassins. But being an assassin is much better in the way of stealth and discreet moving. Much more action and fast heartbeats ;)

I have to admit I like this :) but will wait and see what others think, of course in a vendetta where the target(s) are unaware of their status it kind of reverts to the way it was but then I guess a target may be come suspicious :).

not sure If I get this right. So an Assassin can also kill another Assassin but is not receiving a reward:confused:

[Chela]

If the assassin who has been killed has a value (from killing targets or other assassins who have a value) then the value of the dead assassin is added to the value of the successful assassin.

So far Una has killed two assassins, both of whom had not killed a target. he is eliminating the competition but is not getting any value from it.

Hope that helps to make sense of it?

[UnaAlconbury]

Chela, what if there is only one assassin left? Does anything happen?

[Chela]

Chela, what if there is only one assassin left? Does anything happen?

The last surviving assassin would be able to continue eliminating the targets. Also the targets can try to defend themselves. This would continue until the end of the vendetta or until there are no surviving assassins or only one surviving assassin and all the targets have been eliminated.

The design of this particular game was intended to test as many of the rules as possible within a single scenario, thus assassin against target and assassin against assassin.

Effectively a contract has been put out on a group of targets and success at this has a financial reward. The Assassins are trying to get the reward by killing the targets and fulfilling the objective. However in order to encourage a little backstabbing if an assassin is particularly successful it becomes more worthwhile to the other assassins to kill the competition than the targets.

[Kets]

As I suspected...I ran when I saw Una, but I was lagging so badly that I was 'stuck' in front of the service center. By the time I was able to move again...I was dead. AArrrggghhh...And my buyer wasn't at Twin Peaks either, so it was a total loss all around.

Nice ruse, though, Una, saying you were logging off then staying on for a bit. If I wasn't chatting with my buyer who was stuck out near Minopolis then perhaps I would have seen your purple blip earlier.

Good work you sneaky, little, S%#T! :D

[slartybartfass]

So it is clear to me that Una tries to eliminate the opposition before eliminating the targets. nice try mate.:)

So 10 PEDs from me to the one wo brings me Una's virtual head :Sniper:
Hope you don't mind that your head is not as worthy as Anna's:D

With assassination being a cut throat business (sorry about that, just could not resist any longer), I thought there should be competition between the assassins as well :). Obviously it is better to take out a fellow assassin after a few hits have been made by him or her, that way you get paid more :).

Nice to see new contracts being made, gives it more of an edge:).

[Anna]

You shall never kill me!

(There should be extra prize for surviving targets)

[Chela]

(There should be extra prize for surviving targets)

There is a prize for surviving targets, it's the same one as in the real world, namely that they survive :).

In the real world only the assassins get paid, sad but true!

[UnaAlconbury]

So it is clear to me that Una tries to eliminate the opposition before eliminating the targets. nice try mate.:)

Hehe, two out of the three I spotted first just happened to be assassins, so no tactics behind that really :) Anna knows I do attack targets as well... ;)

No problem with that at all, that is only positive :D

He got me good here. I've been really busy with work so I've hardly been on at all. So when I quickly popped in I'd forgotten all about this thing... and Una knew exactly where to find me :D

Of course. There may be consequences to killing me! :hunter:

Gratz on the kill Una.
I could have camped the revive terminal in Itumatrox land, but I chose not to out of respect. I see now there is no respect in Canley.
A 500 ped bounty is now offered for a Canley kill screenshot of Una.

The numbers are getting a bit big for me but I think that makes a total of 610 PED. Comprising his 10PED value for the game and an additional 600 bounty.

The current test is coming to an end, now less than 12 hours until the duration of the vendetta expires at which point I will pay up the game value. I do not know if the addition bounty also expires, would those offering it please clarify?

Thank you.

[Burgerman]

The 100 ped bounty on Anna has been received by Tigeress.
The 500 ped bounty on Una expires when the existing Canley contract expires.

(and just to clarify, I am not mad with Una, just roleplaying a little bit in keeping with the Terms of Canley)

In conclusion
I will PM the successful assassins Roger Stratos Fa, Una Griph Alconbury and Sally Tigeress Serious to arrange payment.


I would like to thank everyone who took part in this trial. I have learnt much that will help me in managing future vendettas, mostly in respect to the use of the forum in this. In subsequent vendettas I will post the Terms of Vendetta as the first post of the thread, this will also either contain The Rules of Canley or a link to them, the first post will then be edited to contain the names of those taking part and the current status of the vendetta. This will make it easier for me to manage and hopefully make it easier for those taking part to find the current status..

I have enjoyed running this and will be happy to do so again. Reading your posts, your failures as well as your successes has provided me with quite a lot of entertainment and generally speaking indicated that the rules work. The modification to allow targets to defend themselves was an excellent suggestion from Phoenix. If anyone has any more ideas or suggestions please post them here, this is why the trial was run.

Please post your impressions here also. If you were taking part in any respect did this change the way you were playing? If so was it for the better or did you find it had a negative impact? Would you be interested in taking part in subsequent vendettas? I will also welcome suggestions and impressions from those not involved, is it a good spectator sport? if I can make this more interesting or exciting then I will try to do so.

Thanks again everyone I appreciate your support and I look forward to reading your comments.

[Burgerman]

A very original and interesting event in EU. Thanks Chela for organising this, and I hope to see more vendettas posted in the future. :ok:

[Stratos]

Yeah , a very interesting event , got a bit anxious since assasins started to kill assasins.
In the end the time got a bit short for me ;) and i missed one kill due to technical problems :mad: ( my screencapture proggy decided to not react to a keypress anynore ).

Although a very cool event .

I donate my value for the next round.

thx Chela

[slartybartfass]

great event, although I had not much time for it. But I enjoyed to feel the thrill to get caught by someone.
:D
My bounty for Una also expired by the end of Canley.
I have some remarks to the organisation of Canley (not about the rules, but abou the thread). But atm the time is too short to post. And my ears are still ringing from the concert last night...
I will post later on

[Phoenix]

A great event. If nothing else it made EU more enjoyable. Just imagine how hard it would be to kill someone while he gathers sweat at Nea's and also for the victim to gather that sweat while examining their surroundings for the assassins and trying to hide in the crowd to make the assassin miss. WOW, it really is enjoyable ;)

Compare that to a bad event.That is a hypothetical question.I can't imagine how hard it would be to kill someone while he gathers sweat at Nea's and for the victim to gather that sweat while examining their surroundings for the assassins and trying to hide in the crowd to make the assassin miss :-) I'm glad you're impressed. Are you sure enjoyable is?

[UnaAlconbury]

I sure enjoyed this, I loved the thrill it brought to the game. And I definitely like to plan attacks and sneaking around looking for victims ;) I thought it was so fun that I started to kill off assassins as well :hehe: I'm definitely interested in another round.

And yes Canley sure had an impact on my playing. For example, using the teleports was always a risk, somebody could just stand by the TP and wait, so I always started running and jumping before the screen had loaded and I could see the surroundings LOL
Things like this were only fun IMO, but I must say it is nice to be able to relax again and don't care about how and where you move :D

I will donate my value of 10 PED to the next round as well.

[Kets]

I hope that more are posted and I'll stay away from heavy lag zones to be sure.

[Chela]

I have received PMs from all three successful assassins and all have decided to forego payment of the contract so that the ped can be used for the next vendetta. Thank you all for that, most generous.

The test has thrown up the issue of time outs, I have also thought it might be good to have a designated safe zone where no assassination may take place. So will update the rules with some methods to cover these contingencies before posting the next vendetta.

Thank you all for your comments and descriptions, I am glad you have enjoyed this.

If there are any further comments please post here.

Thanks again,
