Interesting.

> * News 5 36 has information about consent granted by Assassins.

It doesn't seem to exist.

Oh! Thought of a question. Will the system make an effort to assign you a target geographically close? Or will we potentially need to travel a ways for our contracts?

Pretty sweet release--I've been looking forward to this for a long time. Quick question, can you be selected as a target if you haven't joined the game?

I remember this being discussed when NPC tasks first came out. I am very happy to see it come to fruition.

Some of us were able to get targets. Does this mean the game is afoot or should we wait?

Also, the only rule for this as far as restrictions go are the new 5 36 and "there are no limits to what you can do while hunting a person"(to that person anyway)?

One last thing, would it be possible to have the >assassins status show who's targeting you if you've successfully investigated them as targeting you?

NOTE: I have no plans to play this assassin's game nor will I register. If you don't register to play, you should not be a valid target in this game. This IMO would be forcing people into situations they did not ask to be in. My PVP stance is guarded and my understanding is if I know trouble is coming and I agree to take part in this trouble, it's fine. I will say this now, I do not wish to be a target for any assassin.

No targets within your range could be found.

It should be obvious that only people who join will be targets, hence the need for a registration period until enough players have joined to get the game going.

The game will only pair you with people in your skill range. Technically I'm a lowbie, but my circle 15 character can wipe the floor with your circle 1. :-p

Sounds like this will be a permanent thing that is always rolling. I think it's AWESOME. Cannot express my excitement enough. Hopefully the range finders are fair and don't allow for unbalanced sandbagging dependings.

Again, call out to all the noobs, low levels join the game!

I assume Paladin's first-strike tears of shame will still apply when we're attacking our target? Any chance that could be removed, as long as we are going up against our target?

It doesn't seem very 'paladiny' to randomly attack people you've been told to assassinate for no reason.
First strike should still apply.

Will the target of an assassin know the actual name of the character who is targeting them prior to the assassin attacking? I hope not--I like the suspense.

Oh also, is it feasible for someone to be a weekend assassin? So I could like, join the Assassin's game Saturday morning and play through the weekend and then on Sunday night stop playing? Or will there be some form of time limit/restriction as to how often you can join/exit the game. I read that you can't exit the game if you're being targeted but does the target on you persist if your assassin logs out, etc.?

Yeah, I'd take the first strike hit for this. It's not like I'd be planning to do it a bunch of times a day. Shouldn't be too hard to fix.

One question. I read news 5 36. So consent between the two is gone once either of them kills the other. Good deal. Question is, are there any plans to allow requesting a specific target (skill match dependent, of course)? For example, if the system matches player A with player B and A kills B, I'd love player B to have the ability to 'request A' as a target, as long as player A isn't already targeted. Sort of a 'request retribution' type of thing.

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

Power is not targeting you.
>assass invest powerhaus
You can't currently investigate anybody to see if they're targeting you.

Not sure there's a topic for this yet so found what looks like a small bug. I was targeted and killed my assassin and it showed on their status that they had been killed by 1 of their targets, but my status did not update to reflect killing 1 of my assassins.

What is the score with assassinating people who are hunting? I know it is generally considered bad form, but the game seems to last for days so I assume joining it means you can expect to be targetted whilst hunting also?
