firstly in addendum to the last post. The CONFESS convention is Sligos Games convention, we are in our fifth year. It is run by the Flat Earth Games Society, a bunch of former Sligo I.T. players who still game and meet regularly around the country. Our numbers have enlarged over the years with friends we've made at the previous cons from all over. The con runs on the 27th and 28th of September in the Southern Hotel, right next door to the Train and bus station in Sligo. A meet and greet booze up in Tobergal Lane sets things off on the Friday night, just go upstairs to the private function room around 9pm. Music, Beer and goodness knows what else... Secondly, just posting some info on one of the events.
We'll be running a special Killer Variant over the weekend. Players sign up and are then selected and placed into teams secretly. At the call up they recieve envelopes identifying themselves and other team players. Some wont make the cut each time, the pool of actual players secret to keep people guessing. An hour or so for the teams to hatch plots/tactics privately and secretly. 2 teams, assassins and bodygaurds, their identities unknown at game start except to other members of their own team. Team composition is not neccessarily balanced so again you wont know if you got all the assassins or all the bodygaurds until game finishes. The bodygaurds will be protecting a Designated Target the Assassins must try slay within a given time limit. The designated Target will be announced on Mike at game commencement. Kills will only be achieved via Stickers, placing a sticker earning a kill. The kills must be done in stealth, no overt attacks, a player spotted in the process of Sticker killing a target can be turned away by the witness saying "i See you". The would be killer is forced to leave the room to "reset" before he can try again though of course his covers blown and things can get more difficult. However strategy can be employed to try reveal who is bodygaurd etc by sacrificing team members and anonymity in this way. Opponents once identified can be hunted and killed under same rules. The Game will be confined to the main room, no accomplices allowed other than your team mates, no "idiots" and please employ common sense, the GM will have final say. The game will run during breaks in the day to avoid getting in the way of other events/players. The game will run on a given time limit. This is the basic set up. Anyone interested in signing up can do so on the morning desk at entry. any queries, please ask that morning. We look forward to seeing you guys if u can make it.
