Rules


  • Each participant will be assigned a Target to assassinate with a rolled/balled up CLEAN sock (which MAY NOT contain other objects). The objective is not pain, but stealthy assassination. The Sock must be thrown through the air to hit the target. Only contact between the sock and the Target as a result of an airborne launched or thrown attack counts as a success, at which point the Assassin will be assigned the Target’s previous Target.

  • An assassination attempt will only be counted a success if there are no witnesses of the contact between sock and Target. A witnessed attempt counts as a failure and warns the Target, so be stealthy! This does mean, however, that a Target can be assassinated while in the midst of other people, as long as the actual contact of sock and Target is not witnessed by people other than the Assassin and the Target.

  • There are certain Safe Zones, in which a Target may not be assassinated. Any attempt to assassinate a Front Desk Worker during their shift at the Desk will be counted as an automatic failure (they are, however, fair game once their shift ends). All Bathrooms also count as Safe Zones, in which all assassination attempts will be counted automatic failures (naked assassinations are rude). A Target may be assassinated, however, on the way to or from the bathroom. Resident’s rooms are also Safe Zones, in which no Target may be assassinated (even if it is not the Target’s room).

  • ALL ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS THAT TAKE PLACE OUTSIDE OF THE RESIDENCE HALL COUNT AS AUTOMATIC FAILURES. Please respect the other members of our campus or those studying in the Library or other areas.


Target assignments will be placed in your mailbox. Check it regularly.
