I know, I know. A year is waaaay too long to wait between killing.
But you gotta admit, it makes the thirst for blood that much more intense. For those of you unfamiliar with the annual SoSG ritual of Assassins' Circle, read up on the rules here.
So far we have 22 folks signed up. Circle '09 Champ Fred's Brim is thusfar missing, but Circle '10 Champ rbnlaw is in. Circle '11 Champ is, by definition, in. And Dusty Baker is trying to beg out because of a conference next week. Not sure how to react to that, so please help by answering the poll below.
We have open spots available, so for those not yet signed up, do so by commenting here. Here's who's in so far:
- Quad
- Neeebs
- Spank
- Sax
- Mr C
- Jason
- Jen
- Steve K
- EK
- Fernie V
- Josh S
- Pistol PR
- Keven C
- Mr F
- Paul
- rbnlaw
- DK323
- MLASC
- Orel
- el montanero
- Meanie-B
- Greg Finley
- DB (pending vote tabulation)
Make sure you enjoy the weekend. After all, you might be dead by Monday.

Bang!
I just voted No.
I'm just happy LoneyFan hasn't signed up. He killed me in the '09 and '10 Assassins' Circle.
(Runs and hides)
Dusty will be a zombie at the conference, so why not be an early corpse here in AC?
I'ma get a bunch of computers and keep voting yes.
I am also seriously considering zombiefying a few computers in our data center to stuff with yes votes.
yesYesYES!
Come on DB, I start school on Tuesday, just do it.
This didn't get any clearer, don't tell me you are going to make me wait til Monday, bloody Monday to find out.
NO!
We could make this The Assassins' Bicycle Wheel and just put Dusty at the center of the radiating spokes.
@FV
Behold, the rules for the uninitiated.
Thanks Mr C, sort of, I was thinking about going back in time but my flex capacitor is broken.
Well, until now I'd been a commenting pacifist...but look where it's got me. killKillKILL, bitches!
Wouldn't have done you much good anyway, FernieV, a flux capacitor will take you backward or forward in time...a flex capacitor will only take you to muscle beach, gold's gym or the factory where they make pregnant women's stretchy-waist pants.
Aw, shit - it's 11-3. I need to do some campaigning.
Do we lose tonight? I haven't even checked the sched.
@DB
Yes.
(I haven't checked the schedule, either)
Sidebar!
Shit, now it's 12-3. All those attack ads must be driving up my negatives.
My exit polls have it at 14-1, Dusty
Db you going to game developers conference in Europe?
14-3?? This is some Florida lookin' shit up in here.
#AlGore
I wish, FV.
Is it up for a vote as to where DB is in the circle?
Dusty, if it were a referendum on SoSG individuals in particular, we would ALL be dead
I'd probably be dead first
Can't argue with democracy. DB is in, bishes.
Now, again, where's my Brim at?
I respect the will of the people.
Looks like no faberuben this year, rbn.
Sure it's 14-3 in the popular vote, DB, but what about the electoral college?
I was hoping on the Tea Party candidate would take away some yes votes.
Alas, the people have spoken.
I did not vote for you,White Chocolate. Just making sure the minority vote is represented.
killKillKILL
I guess I should of kept reading, k read the initiator can't be killed and I figured if I was first in I would advance. Shit I have wait til next year for my do over.
Who's going to protect MB? Not I. BwaHaHa.
Come out, come out, whereever you are.
I'm not taking the bait.
Whoohoo! Got a clear line of fire now that Sax has already jumped.
*Perched in a tree with my sniper rifle ready for Neeebs to come out of hiding*
It's nice having a free round with DB not being able to comment.
Did anyone notice we leap frogged the rockies. We are in 3RD PLACE.
Spank: Sax is a sitting duck. Whacha waiting for. You think I'm going to kill you with Quad sitting up in that tree? DB has that tree wired with explosives, btw.
DAMN! I knew those pinecones looked suspicious!
DB put your pants back on.
Anyone seen Paul?
*goes back to clocktower*
*waits*
Never trust pinecones in an oak tree.
Also the title of on of the Flaming Menudos least known folk songs.
On the import, that song was "Never trust a girl who won't show you ID", but was changed to appease the PMRC on the domestic track.
Spank sax is calling you
I guess It is going to be a shoot out at 2:55
I think I might be able to hate Man City as much, if not more than, Man Utd.
Especially with Nasri coming in.
Go Swansea!
The look a bit out-matched at the moment.
Spank afraid of Neeebs?
Neeebs' mom? Maybe.
Fuck (City)!
Hi.
I predict at least 2 suicides by means of 3:01pm or later.
Probably more suicides by "No show".
Imabout ready to fire all my guns at once and explode into space.
#borntobewild
Did DB just cover sax?
Q7 you're in the clear.
Wow! I thought DB was going to be MIA. Now I'm really in the clear.
*chambers one round with Neeebs' name on it*
The way I see it, if Q7 waits too long, he could die by Suicide.
If I were him, I'd comment now to avoid any "mishaps."
At least, that's what I would do.
But then again, Q7 is a gambler.
I most definitely am a gambler. And I won $70 playing poker this weekend. I like my chances.
Are you a gambler Neeebs?
Buy me a Steel Reserve,Kenny Rogers.
I really hope Paul was hitting the wine early today.
Where my Brim at?
Now, if I was Spank, I'd post about now, knowing that Q7 is just waiting to kill me if I decide to take you out.
That's how I'd play it Spanky. Good chance of survival, unless you want to wait for the 2:55 blitzkreig.
Actually Neeebs,I've got something more daring in mind.
Looks like the pressure is getting to some. Oh Noooo!!!
Q7 covered.
Now spank come out.
She lives to see another day. *decides to have a skinny margarita in celebration.
Day 2 has begun. The sacrificial lamb is out roaming the streets.
Heh heh!
(pokes head up)
(in other thread)
Very interesting...
Blood in the streets.
*sips coffee and waits for his target*
Seven dead every year. It was already written, I had no choice in the matter.
Seven dead every year. It was already written, I had no choice in the matter.
Bracing for carnage...
Finally, FB invokes the Faberun. I've got time.
I wish they'd disable the bells in this clocktower. I heard the owners of the strip-mall wouldn't think of doing it.
Time please.
Closer.
Come on out kiddies.
and so it begins. . .
killkillKILL!!!
Wow! Death comes before lunch!
Keven C. with the gambit; Neeebs stumbles out after one too many mimosas.
Q7- deadly aim.
*checks tripwire perimeter*
And now I wait...
Had to be done. Got meetings today and won't be here to take a shot.
Or will I?
I wonder if Neeebs thought he would be the initiator with his post.
I believe so, Q. Hence, the "Balls" comment.
And 6 hours in a clocktower is hell on my joints. I should smoke one.
Hey, question for the AC crowd: how do you think a 'Blind Assassins' Circle' would play out?
In other words, nobody knows where they stand in the circle, so initially everyone's essentially randomly firing shots and seeing if they hit anything.
But as people get killed, their position in the circle is revealed, so slowly the picture is uncovered.
I also ruminated over the idea of having each player, in the order they signed up, pick who they want their stalker to be.
Thus, there is an implied diss if someone picks you as their stalker, making the game more personal.
I wish I did that this year. Oh well.
What about a random order each day? Or have it set by the order of the previous day's comments (essentially killing the faberuben strategy)?
Actually, I'm on the road all day tomorrow, so my strategy was to post as early as possible and see if Q7 would risk getting killed for a kill. I assume the odds of getting killed were 50/50. Didn't really matter if I was an initiator or not. Early plays with a big crowd can pan out. Waiting until noonish, not so smart.
Neeebs - Your comment reads like a well thought out tournament poker strategy to me. Maybe I just have poker on the mind.
I took my chances with the kill because I was hoping that MB would be tied up with work again today and someone would cover me.
C'mon, Marla. Take out MB. She's got that empty death stare.
Just one shot.
C'mon.
There's minimal cover left, but I know Spank is lurking.
cross-hairs getting blurry.
"I know that Spank is lurking."
A universal statement if there ever was one.
*sharpens axe*
Take him down like Nicholson did Scatman Crothers
Easy there, cowboy. One kill per round. That's why we've outfitted you all with single-shot rifles only.
But if you feel like taking a pitchfork to some zombie's head, go for it!
Rifles? All I got was a rock. . .
and a slingshot.
dieDieDIE!
I've got a spork.
*wakes up*
*stretches*
*has to pee like Secretariat*
good morning
Collusion!
Confusion!
Contusion!
Conclusion!
*stalks*
*hides*
Initiating!!!!
(my legs to walk down the hall and get a cup of coffee.)
Why you wanna dis me like that, EK?
