Ok, so someone has had a contract on me since the game first started, yet this guy has yet to even locate me or send out a few inquiries. If the target has logged 30 IG hours or so, and has yet to be killed, then you're a sucky assassin and deserve to have your contract revoked so others can get a chance.

I've racked up quite a few hits, and I think it's lame that my victims don't have a chance to return the favor. Even if the target winds up successfully evading for 30 IG hours, then you suck, and deserve to lose the contract so you can find someone a little more with your speed.

Seriously, if you haven't been able to seal the deal in that long, maybe you should try a different game like checkers.

I was jacking with some of my thief's targets... It's fun watching people get paranoid.

I like having the option to mess with their heads sending various kinds of locates and not showing up for awhile, or attacking and waiting a day or more to attack again.

Opt out when you die or keep checking to see if you were dropped. Would you be more paranoid of someone stalking you for a month or someone trying to kill you every half hour?

Some of us really do suck. After having as my target for 5 hours, I then spent another two hours trying to find Rufhus. I located (no success as it didn't even message him), I ran around town (someone told me he was in Crossing), and I even had him run past me once. Not until he declared he was tired of his assassin not trying to catch him and that he was going back to M'Riss was I able to pinpoint his actual location. I promptly found my out there and attacked.

No, it's cool to be new to PvP, you did everything right by actively searching. You didn't let it go for 3 days, right?

<<Some of us are just:

Fixed that for you. Stick with it. I'm no expert too, but I'm getting better, and I don't give up. On another forum it was suggested that if you log for 2 hours, you lose your target. This makes ASSASSIN REQUEST ONLINE better for everyone IMO

I always thought it was meant as a game for days not minuets. It is called assassins, not war.

Go train... If you die odds are you'll assassin will drag you (maybe, better chance if you're not afk at least.)

You should be able to die training anyway, worst that could happen is a monster stealing your assassin's kill.

Some sort of timer makes sense. I decided to try it out but 'm facing a completely different problem, time zone mismatch. I already dropped my target, since it wasn't really fair to him, and I'd really like to opt out of the Assassins, but can't because somebody is targetting me. He/She might find me in the next few days or so, but may not. Who knows how long one can be stuck as a target.

As far as training while playing, I'm kinda getting the impression that when you log in you've got a choice.. either play Assassins or play DR. That said, if you've got somebody targeting you and can't leave the game, just hunt in a sort of out of the way place and wake up when you get located. :-/
