Announcing Geek-tastic's First Official Event: Nerf Assassin

 

We here at Geek-tastic are extremely happy to announce the first ever Geek-tastic.com event.  We're calling it Nerf Assassin, and it is open to any of you readers out there who happen to live in the Southern California area. 

 

What is Nerf Assassin you ask?  Excellent question.  Allow me to elaborate.

 

Nerf Assassin is an elimination tournament in which players will take on the role of an assassin who has been tasked with taking out select targets (other players) while at the same time defending themselves from possible assassination attempts.  The weapons available to you are everything that the Nerf company has ever made, including foam dart guns and foam swords.  To see the full rules of the game, you can go here.  Here's the basics though.

 

1. To apply to join the game, follow the directions here and send in a completed application form.


2. Once accepted, you will be emailed information on your first target (including their address, location and times they work, etc.).


3. Stalk your target and eliminate them by shooting them with a Nerf toy gun.


4. Take a picture of your victim to confirm your kill and send it in to us.


5. You will then receive a new target to take out, and the game begins again.

 

This will continue until only one player is left standing.  Beware though, once you sign up, you too are a potential target for other would-be Nerf Assassins out there who are trying to win as well.  This game is as defensive as it is aggressive, so constantly be on the look out for possible attackers.

 

Throughout the game, updates such as recent eliminations and possible rules updates or modifications can be found at the official Nerf Assassin Blog, and the highlights of the game will be posted here on Geek-tastic.

 

We apologize that this game is only available to those people who live in Southern California, but to make the game available to anyone would have made it too big to control (as well as almost impossible to coordinate).  But if you live between San Diego and Los Angeles and love Nerf games as much as we do, we'd love to have you join us. 

 

The cut off for applications is Tuesday, April 28th.  So get those applications in soon.  The game officially begins Friday, May 1st. 

 

The winner of the game will be given a small prize (to be announced), but remember that the main purpose of this game is to have fun.
