Imitate Jack Ruby with a super-soaker

There’s an event going on in NYC that’s a city-wide watergun assasination tournament called StreetWars.

At the start of the game you will receive a manila envelope containing the following:

  • A picture of your intended target(s)
  • The home address of your intended target(s)
  • The work address of your intended target(s)
  • The name of your intended target(s)
  • Contact information of your intended target(s)

Upon receipt of these items, your (or your team’s) mission is to find and kill (by way of water gun, water balloon or super soaker) your target(s).

You can hunt your target down any way you see fit; you can pose as a delivery person and jack them when they open the door, disguise yourself and take them out on the street, etc.

If you are successful in your assassination attempt, the person you killed will give you their envelope and the person they were supposed to kill becomes your new target. This continues until you work yourself through all the players and retrieve the envelope with your (or your team’s) picture(s) and name(s). Then you win. Cash…but first live in fear.

This is highly recommended for people who feel they have insufficient stress in their lives.

    I played this my first month in college, and was out by the second day, i still remember running away from the guy who ambushed me coming back to my Dorm. Now, i’m sure you’d get tackled by security for waving a water pistol at a freshman.

    I would like to play this at my workplace, but only if the targets are completely uninformed. There are plenty of people here who need an unexpected dousing.

    Someone should try to sabotage the instructions, and say something like “Fill the gun with urine.”

    That would be the Best Joke Ever.
