Rule #1

• The first rule of SXSW Assassins is that you do not talk about SXSW Assassins... unless you want to.

Rule #2 - Body Guards

• You cannot be assassinated if you are with at least two other players (not including the assassin, of course). They must be within sight! Strength in numbers.
  
  Dead players do not count as body guards.
  
  

Rule #3 - Weapons

• Allowable weapons are any NERF/dart gun. It's going to be cold, so no water guns. If your gun sucks, you will be laughed at.

Rule #4 - Panel Speakers

• No assassinating someone while they are on a panel / presenting.

Rule #5 - Self Defense

• You may kill someone trying to kill you in self-defense, but ONLY if they are holding their gun.
  
  The new command for this is "d assn fail @[twitter name]"
  
  The person who makes the kill always sends the message, not the assassin who was killed!

Rule #6 - Disputes

• Do not register a kill if there is a dispute. Unresolvable disputes will be settled by drinking contests.

Rule #7 - Dead Players

• Every day or so (i.e. whenever I feel like it), I will take the dead players and reassign them targets amongst themselves.
  
  This way everyone can keep playing until a winner is determined.
