Q: Wait, can I win even if I am not the last person left alive, because I have the most points?
A: Yes. This is the purpose of the game - to get points. The point system is meant to encourage people to 1) Kill their targets as soon as they get them, and 2) Do so in interesting ways.
Q: Are there any "time-outs?"
A: No. Assassins is 24/7.
Q: What if I lose my socks?
A: Get new socks. You may only have two socks at any one time however. If you lose a sock, you must tell the Umpire, so that there is no later confusion regarding your old socks. The Umpire may request that you write a certain number on the new ones or use a different color ink to differentiate from the old ones.
Q: Wait, I haven't killed my first person yet. Do I still get a new one every 24 hours?
A: Yes. You may have any number of targets and one time. Keep track of them.
Q: Do I have to touch them with the sock?
A: No, you can throw the sock, plant the socks so your target touches it themselves, or anything else you can think of. The only restriction is that no one else can use your sock to kill someone. Do your own dirty work.
Q: Could I cheat by simply saying, "No, I never touched the sock."?
A: Yes, but it won't help you out. This game relies heavily on the honesty of the participants. Don't play if you are a liar. 2 cheat accusations and you are out.
Q: Could I just go around saying "I see you" to everyone I see, whenever I want to?
A: Of course. This is a game of skill. If your target is doing this, simply make sure they never see you at all before you kill them.
Q: There is a sock in my bed. I don't want to touch it because it would kill me. On the other hand, I DO want to go to bed. What do I do?
A: Call the Umpire. He can give you a Liscense to Kill. Your assassin's name will be on the sock. Then figure out some way to get it out of your bed without touching it.
Q: Can I throw a sock out of a safe area, hitting someone outside of the safe area?
A: Yes. Be crafy.
Q: Will I be given a list of who's participating? How about a number of participants?
A: No, nor will the Umpire divulge this information. Figure it out.
Q: If my assassin is killed by another player, will I be contacted and told?
A: Of course not. Unless they tell you or you figure it out yourself, you will never know who's dead or alive.
Q: Can I wear a disguise?
A: Worked three years ago. Go for it.
Q: What about the shower, toilet, etc.?
A: I don't see them on the list of safe areas, do you?
Q: Doesn't this mean that I will have no privacy or peace at any time?
A: That's what all this means. If you sign the waiver, you can't complain.
Q: What about my Roomate?
A: Your Roomate must also sign the waiver.
Q: What if I come up with a creative kill not covered by the point system?
A: The Umpire will reward extra points based on creativity of the kill on the spot.
Q: Will the Umpire tell me how many points I have if I ask?
A: No. You can keep track of them yourself if you want.
Q: Can I modify my socks?
A: Sort of. You cannot, say, wet and then freeze them, or fill them with rocks, change, or heavy objects (no injuries caused by socks allowed.) Nor can you cut them in half. Your name must ALWAYS be visable somewhere. You can color them if you want, or stuff them with soft objects (other socks, fabric, leaves, cotton...) Whatever floats your boat.
Q: What if I don't know my target, as in I've never seen or heard of them before?
A: The true Assassin is resourceful and cunning. Figure it out.
