Now, Im a little confused. At first I thought that this was a great idea.
What fun you could have pretending to be an assasin and 'killing' your target by shooting them with a water pistol! You could be James Bond.
Your attack could happen at any time, and at any place..
The site gives out your phone number, email address, home address and even your work address, so that your assasin-to-be can find you wherever you are!
Which then made me wonder what would happen if a neightbour spotted a man holding what appeared to be a weapon, lurking in the shadows of a garden?
The police would get called, believing incorrectly that the man is armed, not only wasting police time, but also running the risk of shooting the man.
By there way, theres one in London between 4/7 and 25/7
Thoughts? Good idea? Bad idea?

I just read this its funny but i have just read in a mag that people mostly girls are paying BIG money to get kiddnaped and held hostage, how real you want it will be discussed in the interview. you don't know when they will do it. but its in the UK and it is the "latest craze". I mean they will beat you if you want to and there are websites. not for me.

We had something similar in my high school until a would-be target ran down an alley to avoid getting hit by a drive-by and was accidentally struck by another random motorist. Er.... it's now an illegal game in my hometown, especially considering it involved a form of underage gambling, but I hear it still goes on.
My, I'd much prefer to play Pie Assasins, but my birthday hasn't fallen on an appropriate day, so I can't pie anyone yet. Darn my luck.

This is absolutely true. My friends played in college and I specifically didn't play because I knew I'd get too obsessive and miss classes and sleep in ventillation ducts.
One of my funnier moments was trying to motivate him to get his first target. I remember yelling into a university phone "When I get home she'd better be dead, I don't care if you have to shoot her or stab her or whatever!"... then I turned around and got a bunch of very strange looks from the folks in the hallway.
But yes, I'm sure the most obsessive will win. Sounds like an absolute nightmare to me. In a fun way.

the best way to play that would be;
1. unemployed (no work place to attend)
2. get a new sim for your phone, tell your family that you're going on holiday for a few weeks or something
3. live in your car for three weeks (never at home)
damn, i'd so love that game.

Yes, let's go.

I so wish I was still at uni... *cries*
Dunno if I'd want to play in the wide world... I was all enthused and then realised how vulnerable I would be for ID theft, plain burgulary, etc...
