"Cowards die many times before their death;
the valiant never taste of death but once"
--William Shakespeare
Assassin is a game created and run by Comedy your resident fool. It's a game of stealth and cunning as well as strategy. It's not exactly staff run but it usually is staff assisted.

This is going to be my final update, I think. I'm giving up Assassin because of the politics of Realms of Kaos. In a way, I've been a victim to the game I loved so much. I didn't really realize until I gave it up just how much this game means to me. I want to thank some people for really making this game come to life: Seamus, Kyre, Shirak. Blythe, Mangi, Madykor and Alvar for always giving me a good review. To Shanti for helping me with my website and to Adreacia for the encouragement. Thanks for all the fun everyone, maybe I'll get to play some times too.

It's been a long time since I've updated or held Assassin, but that's only because I was forbidden to for the moment (I won't say by who, or why... mostly because I'm not all that sure myself) and until the typo hunt is over. The good news is I've only got 2 more areas to go.The bad news is, I'm starting college again this week... Other good news... well, kinda... before Seamus had decided to leave we were basically set to make Assassin an official event, but now that Narcissia is the boss again... who knows. It was going to be a high profile event too, complete with it's own arena and would be worth a lot in the new standards of points.

Well, Happy X-Mas everyone! I hope everybody has a happy and safe holiday. Since the last update I ran a game of Team Assassin that ran pretty well, with the exception of Thrice. While on the subject, he's the first person banned from the game along with whatever clan he's in at the time (unless I'm feeling nice). The game went really well and I'm pleased with the progression but I'm certainly going to be running old school assassin. Other then that, life has been good and I've been keeping up with AG assignments and I've started talk about getting Assassin into an official event in RoK. That would rock.

Added the official Team Assassin rules! I've also started talking with Staff about the event and possible expansions of the event! Assassin has become the most popular non staff affiliated game of all time and we're gaining a lot of support!

Last night's assassin went really well I think and it was our biggest turn out yet! 25 people went in and only one walked out alive. It was a fun game and it saw a lot more diversity from the non 25's. I'm glad that a few stayed onto play. I made a typo on the MB, Breanna had 5 kills not 4. Xerius and Shagrat tied for 4 a piece.
And no, I'm not Escape! :P
So Comedy, how do you play this game?
It's very simple. A small group of people meet up with me above the maze (I like to play with 15 or more Assassins). Once or twice a week or every other week I hold this game at night (eastern standard or server time) in the maze in the moors near Trollhiem. I started it about a month and a half ago and I like to run it as much as I can. Everyone over level 9 is invited, no, encouraged to come out and play (remeber your second tier characters you will lose exp if you die). Remember to choose a class/race that would best perform against 10 or 15 others (maybe more). I assign you a target to kill and it's your job to do so. You'll have an assassin out for your head as well but it's your job to kill before you are killed. Once you've killed your target I'll assign you a new one.
So what exactly are the rules?
- No Potions or Manastones! This is important because this is a game of survival of the fittest.
- No unfair quest weapons such as divinty weapons or racial banes (orc/goblin bane).
- No alts. 1 character and 1 character only.
- No attacking ANYONE but your target. This is important!! If you kill the wrong person, you'll be killed by me.
- Do not leave the maze! I'll know and when I find out I'll ban your entire clan for an undecided amount of time.
- If you log off you have TWO MINUTES to get back on if you plan to keep playing the game. If the server crashes then you pick up where you left off, but if you're not on within FIVE MINUTES of me, you are disqualified.
- Healing is allowed if they have that ability! Clerics, Paladins are NOT free to heal anyone besides themselves (this goes for Enchanters/Druids or any other magic users with heal). This is a game to play on your own.
How do you determine a winner?
A winner is decided two ways. The first winner is the Survivor who is the last man (or woman) standing on the battlefield. The second way to win is to be the Slayer and to earn the most kills. The best honor would go to a player who was both the survivor and the slayer, but that has yet to happen...
And what about prizes?
Okay, this is a very touchy subject these days. For one, I believe you really should earn something for this event. It's long, it's hard, and it's grueling (but fun!) and I think it's a lot harder then most moshes that you've won prizes in. However, I don't have the means to award prizes unless players would like to donate prizes or I take them from my personal arsenal (the ones I use on my main...)! If you want to donate prizes, that would be great. If not, then you play for glory!

Team Assassin
A new concept from the maker of Assassin that consists of teams of three playing the game of Assassin.
Instead of having a single target your team would have a triplet of targets. Each triplet (team of 3) would have another triplet to kill. When you kill your target triplet then they would be eliminated and you would inherit that team's target.
Official Rules
- Teams of three only, preferably pre constructed!
- Teams must have a name, and it has to be a good one! Use a clan name! Make one up but don't make it be stupd. Hell, use a clan's name!
Good Example: The Slayers, The Master Assassins, Red Handed Guild Spine, LL, Divine Intervention, etc.
Bad Example: TeamCool2879273, Ass-Ass-In Team, We R the Shit At Assassin!, ThE_MAd_WoHRLocKZ, etc.
No need for underscores or numbers or profanity or anything. Use your imagination!
- Same rules apply as in Assassin but you have a team of targets instead of a single target.
The winner(s) would be declared when one, two, or three members of a triplet were the last people to survive.
