The Assassins' Guild: Socials
Assassins' Socials
The Assassins' Guild is not just about the termly games, it's about making new friends and meeting people from all over the University. To facilitate this, we run social events over the course of the game. You're welcome to attend any, all, or none of these events: don't ever feel that because you've missed the socials to date you can't attend!
If you don't know how to get to any of the events, want to have a chat about assassins, or feel that you could use police protection en route, then email the Umpire, and a policeman will meet you in college (or at another convenient location) and walk to the event with you. They will also do their best to protect you while travelling, but will not join you for attempts on other players!
Note to Live Players: We'd like to encourage people to turn up to assassins socials without feeling quite like they're walking into a trap. With this in mind, there will be quite sizeable OOB zones surrounding all of these events. There is also the opportunity for police protection (see the previous paragraph), so don't let fear of death put you off attending.
What's On?
The diary for this term is as follows:
- Wednesday 23rd November: Pubmeet at the Granta. 19:00-whenever. The main game is nearly over, let's talk about what's happened over the past 6 weeks!
- Last week of Term: Duel OR Post-Game Free-for-all. If there is more than one survivor of the main game remaining in this week, there will be an end-of-game duel to decide the victor. Spectators are very welcome. Alternatively, if there's only one person remaining, there will be a free-for-all, which all are again welcome to attend.
There will also be a post-game pubmeet in the evening of the same day: winner and runner-up of the game get a drink on the Umpire!
