Couple questions,
This is a permanent game, right? From here on out, we'll always be able to participate at any time?
How does the roster work if you're logged out or if you have a target (or are a target) and need to log out for awhile? Will the system automatically boot us from the roster if we're logged out X amount of time, so we don't waste other assassins time if we are their target? And vice versa, what if our target is logged out and isn't coming back any time soon?

>Preference is now weighted towards online targets.
Thank you for that quick adjustment! Now if only I could retarget..
Only played one round so far, but I like this game so far. Thank you and Lyneya for allowing empaths to take part.
I also see potential for some hilarious situations arising from it. Imagine this.. Excuse me Mr Empath. Could I trouble you for some healing? Thank you. Here's your tip <shoot empath>.
Hitmen are tricky and underhanded. Let the slaying continue!

>>w does the roster work if you're logged out
The roster is static. If you log out, you can still get targeted. Another assassin can cancel their contract to kill you after a certain amount of time (right now it's 4 days, but I may drop that to a couple hours in the interest of fun), and I'll probably scrub you out of the assassins system if you don't log in within 30 days. You're also not a valid target if you haven't logged in in 10 days I think.
>>It would be cool if we could request a difficult target in relation to our skills for more money
Yeah, I thought about that. Maybe later.

re: Assassins! on 07/23/2010 04:36 PM CDT
Would it be possible to split ASSASSIN LIST into four columns, like STAT FULL? Or maybe even five columns?
It's not a big deal now, but I can imagine with 500+ people in the list those are going to be two looooong columns.
This idea may have worked in another time and another place, but here it immediately fell on its face and went "Durp durp." - Armifer

I'm all for lowering the down time. Right now I'm locked on an offline target that I got before the online priority change.

I've dropped the 'abandon' timer to be a matter of hours instead of days. Additionally, you can ASSASSIN REQUEST ONLINE to ONLY search for online targets.
I've bumped the list to be 5 columns instead of 2.

re: Assassins! on 07/23/2010 04:50 PM CDT
What about the possibility of having multiple contracts and like hat trick $ bonuses for getting 3 in an hour?
Or the possibility of having multiple assassins targeting you and they have to race to kill you first. With some **'d message telling them they failed.
Maybe a bit much... Possibly as an advanced assassins setting. Might help frustration of your target having different hours or just being unlocatable for whatever reason.

>>I know it's nothing to brag about but can we also get the number of times we were assassinated on the status?
Not at this time.
>>Can we possibly see a slight increase in reward per kill?
Nope, the kill rewards are honestly not supposed to be that great, but a nice bit of something else you can get alongside the fun from killing people.
You don't HAVE to kill people in town, you know.
>>Any chance on the list being alphabetized instead of chronological?
Nope, not at this time, sorry.

Ultimately yes. Not from the current bounty collector, though, unless you want to venture into town.
Also if somebody discovers who it is, I'd appreciate if you'd only post 'I know where to get the bounties' rather than the actual person to ask, at least for today.

re: Assassins! on 07/23/2010 06:02 PM CDT
well figured I'd give this a try, sounded fun.....within 30 minutes of joining....was sniped while hunting.....good idea that needs more work and rules....cause the "matches" are quite obviously not even matched....if ya can one shot kill someone that can't see you hiding...you aren't even matched....and as far as doing while someone is hiding....just poor form
re: Assassins! on 07/23/2010 06:06 PM CDT
I had an interesting bout with my assassin.
>watch XXXX
You feel too distracted to be on the lookout for somebody again right now.
Now I tried using the investigate verb a little bit before I was attacked, but I hadn't tried to WATCH anyone else.

I don't know what DR you've been playing, but one shot kills in PvP are pretty much the standard with someone you're evenly matched to.
Also, you joined a game where you agree to be someones hunter and someones quarry and then...go hunting? That's like joining a tourney and then starting up your origami script. you have no one to blame but you.

re: Assassins! on 07/23/2010 06:13 PM CDT
My two battles seemed fairly evenly matched. If I'd had other means of fighting back other than avenger who knows who would have won! Sniping gives a large bonus to the attack so yeah 1 shots can happen. Getting killed while hunting does suck, but the name of the game IS Assasins which can mean anytime and anywhere. I got sniped too, but I still had fun.

Could it be set so that if you Abandon a target, you don't get that target right back when you request a new one? My guy logged 5 minutes after I got him and I now have him again.

First one got me was MM 30+ circles above me. LOL. Leads me to believe stats and/or circle are not in the calcs, only combat skills.
So then I get anxious to hand out some pain. Heh. I got a dude parked in a unlocatable room. Abandoned after waiting out the hour... requested again and got the same guy and now I have to wait another hour.

You are notorious for having horrible perception in relation to your combats, and the person who sniped you would get wrecked if he tried to hunt malchata (the hunting ground in which you were sniped).

re: Assassins! on 07/23/2010 06:30 PM CDT
Craxor I was assigned you as a target. From your circle and posting you have approx 100+ more in every combat than I do.
Perhaps you should balance out your skills as far as the stealths are concerned.
Also it is just a game...you signed up. If you want to not be a target while hunting either ASSASSINS STATUS and make sure you aren't a target, or leave the game till you are ready.

It would also be nice if circle were taken into account. The moon mage hunting me is about 50+ circles above me, and I'm not especially low circle. I highly doubt I have any chance at all. Seems like "non combat" guilds get too much of a handicap.
