Bussten: Bustin' Expectations

[the_moriarty]

Let the Busselton plans continue!

I would like to propose a motion for yet another Bussten activity: BUSSASSINS

This will be a Buss variant of the "popular game" (that I've just read about) Assassins, where those interested will be assigned a BUSS TARGET who must be disposed of before the end of the week

I AM keen to play bussassins, as long as the game can be honed to work well!

I think it can - the tricky part is streamlining the knockout system and the fun part will be deciding on a Weapon of Choice.
At first I thought you could get the target of the person you kill, but it doesn't work if you get yourself. Still looking for the best way to sort this one out!

YES

i like it, but to be honest i think it would work better as a day game, rather than a week long game?? i think heightening the pressure could work? or else we just have a list of names on the fridge and you tick off as/when you "get pegged", thus leaving the duration of time dependent upon the stealthy skills of our buss cohort.

another (previously mentioned) sneaky idea: "secret friendz", where you have to do one sneaky sweet thing for your delegated secret friend. it could be a positive counterpoint to bussassins? not sure there'd be a winner for this: everyone is a winner? or the aim is to figure out who your secret friend is?

perhaps the two could be somehow intertwined? but i'm not sure.

I don't know, I reckon always having it happening in the background over the week would be the way to go - if it was only over a day, the whole day would end up being devoted to it (and we'll probably have so much other stuff to do!) and everyone would be more on their guard. I also like the idea of getting the person you kill's target, so the game can keep on going (unless you're eliminated), but this'll only work if I can iron out the potential problems.

I also definitely like secret friend! I think it might work better not as a game, just as a sneaky thing (though working out who your friend is would be good, and probably inevitable, fun). As Bussassins will probably end up involving more than one target I think trying to combine them would be tricky, I think separate would probably work best!
