<<but for assassin investigate (person)- do we need to put in their full name? or will a partial work?
Looks like you need their full name.

I tried a shortened version for someone who was following me around and it messaged that the shortened name wasn't hunting me. It's possible it checked against the full name and just displayed the shortened name, but seems unlikely to me.

Can you assassin investigate anyone online, or just people in your same room?

I'm hoping it's just people in your same room or maybe even people within your HUNT distance, otherwise I can see some knucklehead creating some genie script which goes through and assassin investingates everyone online almost instantly. I hope this is not possible.

<<ASSASSIN INVESTIGATE [person] - Investigates whether or not a player is targeting you. Can be used once per day.

<< I'd also like to know the rules about leaving the game. Having people able to leave instantly anytime they want seems like a bad idea, but there are stretches when I might have to log out at any moment and it's probably better that I don't play during those times.

You cant abandon the assassin's game if you have a target or are being targeted and you can't stop targeting someone in the first few days so i don't think there are any rules about logging off. A "hunt" can go for days and you're not expected to be online that long.


<<I'm hoping it's just people in your same room or maybe even people within your HUNT distance, otherwise I can see some knucklehead creating some genie script which goes through and assassin investingates everyone online almost instantly. I hope this is not possible.

You can only try it once per day.



This looks great, i'm currently trying to locate my target while being a target myself :D

Some suggestions:

Is it possible to give us a way to see the total stats of the game at any given time? Total assassinations, etc.

This one is a bit of a stretch but i'll suggest anyway. Changing the struck down message when someone is killed by an assassin to: So and so has just been assassinated.

Titles!

If you assassinate your target in town, is it still considered murder?

<<It possible to get a contract on someone who has one on you?

Yes you can, My target is also the assassin targeting me.

Interesting I wonder if both contracts expire after the kill.
There any messaging indicating to the target that they were assassinated on request?

You can't sell the spectacular view, so why bother to appraise it?

I am stunned, thrilled and can't believe the GMs did this. Wonderful news. A blend of TF and Prime. What really gets me the most is how fast the game got started and how quick the registration period was. Geez I haven't even had my morning cup.

Scalping is a little much but I wouldn't see anything wrong with turning in an ear.

>>I have a feeling things will need to be fixed in order to allow Empaths to partake.

>>My first target killed me, which is reflected in my status. However, my avenger killed the person who had me as their target and I didn't get credit/reward for that. I assume it's because the person didn't die by my hand, but by my avenger.

I was wondering about this earlier when some mean empath tried to assassinate me. Definitely need to fix it so the empaths can play also.

LOL that reminds me of that comercial in space with the guy flicking the switch on early... don't remember what it was for tho.

On a whim...: http://www.lostonawhim.com/

The Zoluren army asks, "We're um.... really sorry about the clubhouse and all... so uh... are we cool?"

>>>The Assassins system is REALLY in registration-only mode now. I'll respond to other posts briefly, but yeah, the game wasn't supposed to be turned on.

Boooo! Can't wait for it to get turned back on then.

>>Will the system make an effort to assign you a target geographically close?

It won't - Your target might be two provinces away.

>>I see someone's a SJG's fan.

Never heard of it/him/her.

>>can you be selected as a target if you haven't joined the game?

Nope

>>"there are no limits to what you can do while hunting a person"(to that person anyway)

Just imagine you have consent on your target ('cause you do :)). Anything you could normally do with consent on somebody, you can do while hunting them.

>>>assassins status show who's targeting you if you've successfully investigated them as targeting you?

Hmm, maybe. I kind of like the requirement that you have to be paying attention when you use the command.

>>Please to make assassin verb not have to wait for 0 RT and also not pull from hiding? Thanks!

Fixed

>>This IMO would be forcing people into situations they did not ask to be in.

Yep, that's why it's opt-in ;).

>>Or will there be some form of time limit/restriction as to how often you can join/exit the game.

To avoid abuse, there's a lot of things that will limit your ability to be a target. Being a 'weekend assassin' has the problem of creating whirlpools of pain in the choppy waters that are 'consent policy', and I have no desire to make that even more confusing.

>>are there any plans to allow requesting a specific target (skill match dependent, of course)?

Not at the moment, to prevent harassment. I might add the ability to request the last Assassins person that killed you, though. That'd be neat and would keep the innocents safe.

>>is it by circle or how is your skill measured with this?

It is based on skill. Numbers are intentionally not being given out.

>>do we need to put in their full name? or will a partial work?

This is an excellent point. You need to specify the FULL name. I'll add this to the help messaging for INVESTIGATE.

>>Will there be a post when the game leaves the registration phase

I'll post when we open it back up.

>>we will be at risk of it being taken away if we used it against our targets?

The requirement for snipe is that you must have rock-solid, demonstrable consent. Assassins gives you that :).

>>but my status did not update to reflect killing 1 of my assassins.

Must be a typo somewhere. I just checked and it has definitely been stored, just not displayed correctly.

>>you can expect to be targetted whilst hunting also?

Yes - A culture around this will evolve, but there are no rules about it.

>>I'd also like to know the rules about leaving the game.

You can leave the game if you are not targeted and do not have a target

>>Can you assassin investigate anyone online

Anybody playing. However, the 24 hour timer kind of makes it hard to figure out who's targeting you cheaply. This option should be used as a verification rather than a guess.

>>Is it possible to give us a way to see the total stats of the game at any given time? Total assassinations, etc.

Maybe. I'll think about it.

>>Changing the struck down message when someone is killed by an assassin to: So and so has just been assassinated.

Already happens

>>It possible to get a contract on someone who has one on you?

Yep, if nobody else is targeting them

>>If you assassinate your target in town, is it still considered murder?

Yep

>>Interesting I wonder if both contracts expire after the kill.

Yep

>>I have a feeling things will need to be fixed in order to allow Empaths to partake.

I need to speak with the Empath Advocate about how to proceed here. I'll get back to you.

Someone else already asked, but since you didn't have it on the list I can't tell if it was missed or just not answered yet...

Paladin kill/first strike penalties?

<<"You're safe now, Itron.XXXX

Even though I don't sign my posts, some people do know who I am. If you do, awesome, if you don't, meh. Not really trying to hide who I play.

>>Please turn it back on as soon as possible.

Yeah that I did notice after killing my assassin that I was being hunted again within just a few minutes it seemed like. Maybe should have at least a moderate interval between that and being targeted again I'd think.

You're worried that paladins are at a disadvantage when it comes to contract killings?

On a side note maybe paladins could have something else. Like be aware of an assassination attempt on another. And be able to intervene. Dunno...

>>The first strike penalties being off during the game would be really helpful. I know there's probably not an IC justification for it, but I'd hate to see our guild get the short end of the stick on this release.

I'd hate to see IG consequences for my Ranger hunting on Kresh during this game too, can Rangers get a max bonus where ever they are? Oh, and the ability to use all of our spells no matter the nature level.
