Subsections

Administrivia

It is the responsibility of players to read their e-mail and read the news to see whether they have been put on the wanted list. Players are deemed to know that they are wanted/police as soon as these details are published on the website. They are not wanted/police before this, and you cannot kill someone just because you believe that they are about to become wanted. Of course, if they are trying to kill you or bearing a weapon, they are fair game anyway.

Website

The game website is at http://www.srcf.ucam.org/assassins; you are probably reading these rules there now. During the game, the news will be published on the website along with any updates to the rules, news of upcoming special events or social events, etc. It is the responsibility of individual players to keep themselves up to date with anything on the website which concerns them.

To avoid waste of bandwidth, game news will not be distributed by email.

Newsgroup

The game also has its own newsgroup (ucam.rec.games.assassin) which players may use for discussion, etc. You are unlikely to find news about the current game here, but you may find discussion of special events, proposed changes to the game or new mini-games, etc. This has recently fallen into disuse, supplanted by the IRC Channel.

IRC Channel

There is an IRC channel #assassins on the SRCF server (kern.srcf.ucam.org, port 6667). All assassins, potential assassins or ex-assassins are welcome to join and discuss the game or anything else. See Jonathan Hogg's Assassins FAQ at http://www.srcf.ucam.org/assassins/assassinsFAQ.html for more details on both the newsgroup and IRC, although bear in mind that it is quite outdated in parts.
