UPDATE (2:46pm PT): New rule: no alliances/side-deals (i.e., agreeing with your stalker that he won't kill you if you protect him...or something thereof. I take nothing away from FB/rbnlaw for using that to their benefit last year...but not this year. We shall dub this the FBrbn (pronounced "Faberuben") rule.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As many of you deduced, yesterday's "white space" post (select the whitespace to see the hidden image) marked the return of "The Assassins' Circle," one of SoSG's more popular competitions which turned normally gregarious, intelligent, fun-loving Dodger fans into cold-hearted killers gunning for one another.
Here are some of the comment highlights from last year:
- "I hope you feel better :(" - karina, moments after killing Wicks
- "The view from the bell tower is awesome" - rbnlaw
- "I could kill you but i wouldn't hurt you" - karina, taunting her prey Paul
- "Can I sprint from behind the UPS van to the industrial park while Quad is at lunch?" - Mr Customer
- "I know what a French solider feels like now." - Dusty Baker
- "My first kill made me nervous." - Dr. Geek.
- "Do it, FB. DO IT NOW!!!!" - EK, long since out of the game but urging another to kill just so he can watch.
In the end, it was Fred's Brim emerging from the bloodshed as the last man standing. How long will he last this year?
Here's this year's starting circle:
For the newcomers to the game, or for those that need a refresher, here are the rules.
I think we closed most of the major loopholes last year (Dr Geek, anyone?), and if it still seems a bit hazy to the newcomers, it will become self-explanatory after the first round or two. Any questions let us know. FYI this thread will also serve as the safe harbor conversation thread once the game begins.
The game starts tomorrow with the first Kill Thread to be posted tomorrow, 9am PT!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 230 of 230Mr. C - why worry what others think? They may think that you're an asshole anyway (which btw, I don't).
Can I join you, Mr. C?
I fear no man. Karina, on the other hand...
@MB
I'm not worried, I just wanted a snap judgment. As for thinking I'm not a right bastard... give me a chance! I'm sure I can change your mind once you get to know me better.
I can attest to Mr. C being a right bastard.
That's why we like him!
@Mr C I'm going to get you,sooner or later.
Mr. C - No need to prove yourself. I have a lifelong track record of loving bastards. My friends can attest to this.
@Meaniebreanie you're pure hot stuff.Tip of the hat for you.
"sitting behind a mountain of Yayo all bright eyed and bushy tailed"
So. we wait.
Also, EK's chart is dyslexic.
Good day to die, eh Mr. C?
@Mr. C: I thought so! What do you expect from a guy who thinks numbers are letters?

I might go Dr. Laura on the AC thread as a distraction, then resign to regain my freedom of speech.
Whatever that means.
@rbn
Once more into the breach.
Loudmouth zombs out taunting the living again.
I cannot be drawn out by such feeble taunts.
We've got a runner.
Where's Neeebs at?
I still get my kill shot right?
Still a chance for a perfect circle.
@Spanky
Yup.
Yep, Spank. Except, if he's the last man, your kill will only be for personal satisfaction. He'll still win.
Of course, Spank could still have an effect on the game right this second.
Well, we stepped it up.
Only two possible outcomes now.
OK, three. I suppose rbnlaw could off himself.
My devious plan has almost taken hold
checkout my comment at 11:38
@Mr. C (11:52): You never talk about a perfect circle in the middle of a potential perfect circle.
Whatta Tool.
If I figure it correctly, the only way I could have changed the outcome would have been to let Paul scamper away, hoping that he would kill rbn in tomorrow's thread.
@Mr C 9:06 am it's NOW we wait
;)
