OT: New sport. Who's in?

Azra told me about this a couple days ago. I want to do it sooooooooo bad.

It's called Street Wars, a 3 week long watergun assassination tournament.

At the start of the game you will receive a manila envelope containing the following:

A picture of your intended target(s)
The home address of your intended target(s)
The work address of your intended target(s)
The name of your intended target(s)
Contact information of your intended target(s)
Upon receipt of these items, your (or your team's) mission is to find and kill (by way of water gun, water balloon or super soaker) your target(s).

You can hunt your target down any way you see fit; you can pose as a delivery person and jack them when they open the door, disguise yourself and take them out on the street, etc.

If you are successful in your assassination attempt, the person you killed will give you their envelope and the person they were supposed to kill becomes your new target. This continues until you work yourself through all the players and retrieve the envelope with your (or your team's) picture(s) and name(s). Then you win. Cashââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¦but first live in fear.

We should do one in CNY. I want to.......

OK, I can see this now - I just started a new job and I'll be bringing a super soker with me - the securoty guards might not like that .

Sounds fun.

I've got a guard shack at my work. I don't think they'd mind if I stored it in the shack...
or, you gotta race to the car everyday.

It was actually approved by the nypd provided with two rules:
Rule 1: No shooting in the subway
Rule 2: No painting the guns black to look like real guns.

Sounds Fiiiiiiiiine by me.

Sounds like fun but I can't participate. It probably would scare the kids too much!

I bet Alphaferet would be interested once he returns from his honeymoon.

I played a game like this back in high school. It was called TAG and we used suction cup guns. There was a movie about it where the best player went crazy after dying in an accidental shooting by the "geek". He got a real gun and shot the geek then kept playing (with the real gun).

In high school it was fun, until I shot my Social Studies teacher in error. He laughed about it but I was almost booted from school.

I think that is why I played paintball for so many years. Similar game with a bigger rush.
