> 
> The year is 1565.  In Istanbul Maltese spies are hard at work 
> gathering information on the Turk's invasion plans.  Turkish spies 
> roam the streets in an effort to identify and eliminate the Maltese 
> spies.  Will the Turks succeed in eliminating all the Maltese before 
> they can report back to the Grand Master, or will the Maltese hunt 
> down the hunters and escape Istanbul?
> 
> This is a team game.  Each player will choose or be assigned to the 
> Maltese or Turkish side, and told how to recognize their allies.  The 
> winner of the tourney will be the player FROM THE WINNING TEAM who 
> personally assassinated the most other players and survived the 
> game.  The winning team will be the one with the most (or only) 
> surviving members.  The game will begin Saturday at noon.  Those who 
> wish to play should see the Master of Assassins, Aron the Dane, prior 
> to that time.  The game will end either when one team has been 
> eliminated or at the conclusion of court on Sunday evening, whichever 
> comes first.
> 
> At the beginning of the game each player will be given an arm band to 
> identify them as a player.  The arm band must be worn at all times, 
> until the player is killed at which time they will give their arm 
> band to their assassin as a trophy, along with any weapons or gold 
> they are carrying.
> 
> Each player will also be given 3 gold coins with which to purchase 
> weapons from our weapons merchant.  Only those weapons purchased for 
> the game may be used to assassinate other players.  Weapons may be 
> sold back to the weapons merchant later, perhaps at a slightly 
> reduced price.  (They are used, after all.)
> 
> Only players may assassinate other players.  While people who are not 
> playing the game may be used as accomplices, they may not kill on a 
> player's behalf.  The weapons of the game, whatever they are, may 
> only be used by players.  However, if a player has set up some sort 
> of trap for another player (poisoned food, snake in a feast basket, 
> etc.) a non-player may serve and/or deliver it.
> 
> A player may not be attacked in any way while they are in their tent 
> or cabin.  Wherever they sleep is to be considered their 'safe house.'
> 
> Players must report to the Master of Assassins when they have been 
> killed.  Some weapons are potentially dangerous to the user.  Players 
> are on their honor to report if and when they have inadvertently 
> killed themselves.
> 
> Above all, use common sense and stay safe.  While skulking about the 
> site shooting, stabbing, poisoning, and otherwise doing in your 
> friends, be careful not to hurt them.
> 
> Have fun!
