Do you find that you only know the few people that you work with on a regular basis? Wondering where a particular department's favorite hangout is? A friendly, ministry-wide game of Assassins is just what you need.

Two large crates of grey balls, about the size of ping-pong balls, are set out on a table, along with a stack of rule sheets and several sign-up clipboards. Read the rules, sign your name, and grab your ball. The game is ON once orientation ends. Make sure you take advantage of orientation to get to know people, because you never know who your target may be.

The Rules

You will be playing as a team, but it only takes one of you to knock out the player(s) on another team. Once the last player on your team has been knocked out, your team is out of the game. The last team still in the game wins!

ooc: you have a team, so use it! Strategize, protect each other, and stick together.

By signing up, you agree to participate actively in the game and to actually get out into the ministry and meet your co-workers. No fair if you hide in your secure offices or under an invisibility cloak all the time.

ooc: this means that you promise to post at least once (but preferably MORE), in a public ministry area, before October 29. Failure to do so will result in your character's disqualification from the game. It's not fair to the other teams if you don't post yourself as a target!

To "eliminate" your target, you must hit them with the provided ball. You may not modify or destroy yours or another player's ball. You must be physically present. No hiding balls on chairs or training your owl to drop balls on people's heads.

ooc: you have to post throwing the ball and be explicit about who your target is. You can not shrink, charm, enlarge, disillusion, or otherwise change your ball. You can levitate, use your wand to 'throw' it, etc. As always, it takes TWO posts to hit someone - one to release the ball and the other to RP the outcome. No double-posting, ... so play smart and make use of each other.

Dodging, shield charms, and spells that divert the ball (but do not destroy it) are all fair game to protect yourself in the moment of attack.

ooc: be realistic. Walking around permanently covered by a shield charm is not in the spirit of the game. You canNOT avoid the ball after the other team posts the 'outcome' of the ball hitting you (their second post).

This game takes place within Ministry walls only. Department meetings are off-limits.

ooc: Keep it on one of the levels of the Ministry forum please.
