Are you stuck with the same target until they are assassinated or can you request a new one at some point?

I foresee sitting in line to play a game and while I'm bored and waiting I tweet the numbers of everyone that's in line :P Come take these guys out and maybe they'll leave so I don't have to wait as long! haha

Also, when you are assassinated are you out of the game for the rest of the weekend?

You have the same target until you find and assassinate him/her, at which point you take your victim's target as your new one. Once you're assassinated, you can't make any more assassinations yourself, but you can write down badge codes to submit as 'intel' for additional points. I recommend reading the rules on the site; they're very in-depth and cover just about everything you need to know.

The target on your mission card will actually match up with more than one player, about 4 in 24 players will be a target for you at the beginning. Some of those will match your mission more specifically than others though. Conversely this means that that same ratio of players will be looking for you as well!

If you you are eliminated you cannot assassinate other players but there is another way to gain points called Gathering Intel where you collect players badge codes and enter them online for points.

Here's an update on the faction counts so far!

Faction Populations

• Kingsport Raiders [6]
• Robot Ninjas [5]
• Varsity Dead [0]
• Cowboy 'Verse [3]
• Sparkly Ponies [3]

Edit: Looks like Robot Ninjas just got a shot in the arm! Are we going to have another Pirate/Ninja battle like at East?

[MarsChelios]

Here's our Robot Ninjas button concept! Let us know what you think!

[Ruby PMS]

Those look awesome. I might make some just as a reminder of East. And to prep for NEXT East...

Thanks! I can pass one along to someone if there's someone who's going near you!

[MarsChelios]

The Kingsport Raiders and Robot Ninjas buttons are ordered and in production. Here's the proofs from PureButtons for those:





I'm working on the Varsity Dead button now and will be putting together the Cowboy 'Verse and Sparkly Ponies following that one. Let me know what you think of these and any suggestions you have!

[Ruby PMS]

Those look fantastic!

[MarsChelios]

The Varsity Dead button has been finalized and ordered (Rush, Rush)! Check it out!



I'm committed to getting the remaining buttons ready for ordering this weekend (also Rush, Rush). I've got some ideas for them but shout out if you have any suggestions!

Also the current player count and faction populations are now up to date in the OP.

Faction Populations

• Kingsport Raiders [16]
• Robot Ninjas [12]
• Varsity Dead [14]
• Cowboy 'Verse [12]
• Sparkly Ponies [14]

Hi everyone! Lots of new content in this post, let me know what you think!

First off is the concept button design for Cowboy 'Verse! All you browncoats out there will get to represent in style!



Next is the Sparkly Ponies! I received a message from the Sparkly Ponies yesterday and they are pissed! They do not like having their faction page blank and demand restitution. Luckily I was able to talk them down from stampeding but the price was high. They want two buttons, one for boy and one for girls! Check out the boys version below, girls to follow soon!

AHAHAHA the HAY team. Love it.

Sweet! No worries!

Late night allowed me to complete the Cowboy 'Verse and boys Sparkly Ponies buttons! Along with these buttons comes the taglines for Cowboy 'Verse and the boys version of Sparkly Ponies. The site will be updated when time permits but not any later than this weekend.

Cowboy 'Verse
Out of bullets, out of time, and out of luck? Welcome to Cowboy 'Verse.



Sparkly Ponies (Boys)
If you have a problem, if no one can help, and if you’re sparkly then maybe you can hire... The HAY-Team.



Let me know what you think.

Still plenty of time to order though!

[MarsChelios]

Been a bit remiss in updating the player totals here, so wanted to let you guys know we're at 103 confirmed players for this game!

Faction Populations

• Kingsport Raiders [21]
• Robot Ninjas [26]
• Varsity Dead [22]

Shipping is now closed but ordering is still open until the 31st for pickup at the convention. If you'd like your badge branded with your clan please make sure to check the checkbox labelled "Check if here if one or more of your badges needs to be branded for a clan or group." so I know to contact you.

If you've already ordered your kit but neglected to get branding PM me your badge code (5-letter code on the top of your badge) and I'll print you a branded replacement.

BOOM

Robot Ninjas leading the way
