Lan Wars

(revision 4)

This is based on the idea spun off from the streetwars thread. This variation is called "Lan Wars".

For detailed discussion on this version of the game, have a look at the LanWars thread.

The Basic Rules:


Scoring:

Scores are totaled at the end of the game. If you are assasinated before the game ends then feel free to turn in your completed "target" cards and disarmed weapon stickers. This will help speed up the scoring.

Prizes:

Prizes are yet to be decided, however an initial idea is that game entrance fee is a nominal fee like 50p. This is all placed into a pot. Costs are deducted (labels, ink, small admin fee) and then the rest is put up as a prize.

There will also be individual certificates for "most kills" and "most disarms" as Winning outright doesnt nesicarily mean you excelled in either of those fields. There will also be certificats for "survivors".

The Detailed Rules:


The Equipment:

You are issued with a couple of non-weapon items. These are:

The Target Card:


The target card outlines who you are to assasinate. Once you have assasinated them, you retrieve their "Life" sticker, affix it to the spot on your target card, and then proceed to hunt down their target.

Life Token:


The life sticker basically designates your one and only life point in this game, once its gone you are out. When you die, you pass this to your assasin who attaches it to their "target card". You also hand them your target card.


The Weapons:

All the equipment stickers have your nick name on them to help in the identification of the assasin. This will help avoid confusion if a lot of people are playing. You can only get "killed" by a weapon owned by someone holding a target card with your name on it.

Bomb:


By far the simplest to use, but also the simplest to check for / disarm. The bomb must be placed on an item that will be sat on / used by your target. For example: you could stick it to their seat, they would then die as soon as they sat down. However, if they checked the chair first, and found the sticker, they will have disarmed it, and you then lose that weapon.

For interactive items like keyboards etc... the bomb is triggered on first use. i.e. if you stick it to the PC, its triggered as soon as they start using it. Obviously you will need to be within visual range of the machine to verify the trigger, and tell them.

Poison:


A far more subtle approach. Poison is for a food based attack. This is triggered by the target eating / drinking foodstuffs that have been labled. This is a lot more tricky if you dont know the target.

Again, to disarm this one you just need to identify the label before you consume the food.

Note: you are not allowed to mark any MPUK provided food item (microwave / hot water urn / etc).

Gun:


This is by far the most difficult to disarm. This sticker needs to make direct contact with any part of the target.
I.e. you need to attach it to their body. Anywhere is allowed except the sole of the shoe (no placing it sticky side up)

Ideal situations for this would be in a crowd etc. To disarm it, you need to identify your assasin *as* they go for the hit.

Knife:


This is by far the most difficult to use. Similar to the gun, this sticker needs to make direct contact with the FRONT of the target target. I.e. you need to attach it to their body.

Ideal situations for this would be in a crowd etc. To disarm it, you need to identify your assasin *as* they go for the hit.
