It is with great pleasure that I announce the Assassins game for Dragonrealms. The game is only in the registration phase right now, and will move into the delicious killing phase in a few weeks.

A brief description of the game:

Assassins is a game where you can merrily kill your fellow adventurers and earn a bit of money for it. The way that it works is, you join the game, and then can request a target. Your target won't know you're coming after him, but he'll know that somebody is.

When you get a kill, your contract is complete, and you'll be able to claim the bounty from a game representative in-game. However, if your target kills you, your contract gets revoked, and you'll need to request a new one after a bit of a 'shame downtime'.

This is not a one-off event, but rather a continuous, long-running game that you should be able to engage in whenever you please.

Some Notes:

* When you request a target, your skills will be compared to the other players and another player within an acceptable range will become your target.

* The ASSASSIN command will be your portal into the game. It has the following options:

 ASSASSIN JOIN - Join the Assassins game.
 ASSASSIN LEAVE - Leave the Assassins game, provided you are allowed.
 ASSASSIN LIST - List all of the people playing the game.
 ASSASSIN STATUS - Get some basic information about your role in the Assassins game.
 ASSASSIN REQUEST - Request a new target.
 ASSASSIN ABANDON - Abandon your current target.
 ASSASSIN INVESTIGATE [person] - Investigates whether or not a player is targeting you. Can be used once per day.

* News 5 36 has information about consent granted by Assassins.

* You cannot abandon a target until a number of days have passed after you've acquired your target.

* Abandoning a target will make you unable to acquire a new target for a few hours.

* You will not be able to leave the Assassins game if you have a target, or if you area currently being targeted.



NOTE

The Assassins game is in Registration Only phase currently. Please register for the game if you'd like to play. As soon as we hit a good number of players, we'll start the game off. Joining this game is live in Prime only at this time.

Please post any questions you have!

10TH THIEF

>slice gidien
< You slice a bastard sword at Gidien.  Gidien attempts to evade.  The sword lands an extremely heavy hit that amputates the left arm and a good deal of the shoulder in a crippling blow.
 * Gidien is slain before your eyes!
Gidien's misericorde falls to the ground.



An indescribable voice whispers in your mind, "Excellent.  Excellent!  A fine kill.  Our benefactors have placed a hefty sum on Gidien's head - 6300 Kronars, to be exact.  Contact one of my people to claim your reward"

[You're solidly balanced]
[Roundtime 6 sec.]

30TH EMPATH

 * Favre is slain before your eyes!
Favre's ivory-hilted jambiya and crocodile-skin buckler fall to the ground.

A panicked scream pierces the air.  "Murderer!"  You notice the nearby citizenry looking your way for the moment, before most quickly run off in fear.

An indescribable voice dripping with contempt whispers in your mind, "You're safe now.  Favre had been sent to kill you, but he has clearly failed.  Rest easy... For now."

 * Mizamoon is slain before your eyes!
Mizamoon's ivory-hilted jambiya falls to the ground.

A panicked scream pierces the air.  "Murderer!"  You notice the nearby citizenry looking your way for the moment, before most quickly run off in fear.

11TH THIEF

< You step backward and then slice at Gidien.  Gidien barely blocks with an ordinary shield.  The sword lands a powerful strike that savages the belly to expose the intestines.
 * Gidien is slain before your eyes!
A panicked scream pierces the air.  "Murderer!"  You notice the nearby citizenry looking your way for the moment, before most quickly run off in fear.

An indescribable voice dripping with contempt whispers in your mind, "You're safe now.  Gidien had been sent to kill you, but he has clearly failed.  Rest easy... For now."

25th MM (100+ in all magics)

You wave to Mizamoon.
>slam miza
< You slam a crocodile-skin buckler at Mizamoon.  Mizamoon attempts to dodge.  The buckler lands a heavy strike that causes Mizamoon's eyes to bulge in pain as Mizamoon's vital organs are re-arranged into gelatin soup, knocking him completely senseless.
[You're tired, off balance and in dominating position.]
[Roundtime 6 sec.]
R>
 * Mizamoon is slain before your eyes!
Mizamoon's red-hot moonblade falls to the ground.

Taishari's sharpened cutlass falls to the ground.

The shimmering ethereal shield fades from around Taishari.
A panicked scream pierces the air.  "Murderer!"  You notice the nearby citizenry looking your way for the moment, before most quickly run off in fear.


An indescribable voice whispers in your mind, "Excellent.  Excellent!  A fine kill.  Our benefactors have placed a hefty sum on Taishari's head - 3876 Kronars, to be exact.  Contact one of my people to claim your reward"

I'm in with my 13th circle Barb, lol. 

[Somniumvisum]

While this looks kind of fun, can someone help me to understand the roleplay behind this?
I'm just not seeing how it fits in to the game.

I'm not against the idea, like I say, it seems fun, just seems to not fit in. I mean, if this was people getting hired by the city to kill people on the wanted list, then I'd get it, but mindless constant killing of each other?

It gives people that want to pvp or are interested in starting pvp a chance to find other people around their skill level to fight.  What is this RP you speak of?  Didn't think that existed in any great quantities in DR Prime anymore, lol.

[Somniumvisum]

ha ha ha!!  I agree on that Lonur, seems its totally gone.

This just seems a waste, it seems a great way to get people involved, I mean, I looked at the list of people playing and its half the realms, but why wasn't it built to try to bring some roleplay back?

Also, good kills fella, and its great to see you back


Extra: anyone who really wants to get into this assassin thing, and is looking to buy a character, I'm selling a 120th warmie, 40th cleric, 36th moonie, and a 20th trader, gimme a shout

[Kristov]

What's the name of your new character Lonur?  Are you still Lonur or pick something new?

Have a new halfling Barb that I don't want to reveal to anyone, just cause I don't want him connected to Lonur.  However, the powers that be will be restoring Lonur later this week.

That's pretty cool being that you were helping out a nub and all.

I've added some changes to the Assassins system:

* The game is now in-character, though surrounded with a rather thick shroud of mystery.
* Multiple assassins can now target one target. When that target is killed, all other assassins targeting that target will receive a message. Please note that this ends consent on the would-be victim. Be careful to pay attention!
* You can now use ASSASSIN REQUEST REVENGE - It lets you try to acquire your most recent killer as your target.
* You can also use ASSASSIN ALLOW to make yourself available as a target when you'd normally be considered safe (namely after you'd been killed).
