Austin Improv

a long long time ago...
i can still remember
how the music used to make me

KILL EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM

now now now... before you go thinking, "Oh no, Jay has finally lost it," (but some of you already thought that long ago didn't you?) I wanted to run something by all the improvisers that i think would be tons of fun and build an intensity to our mundane lives.

there was a game i played in highschool with some friends called KILLER (later in college it was called ASSASSIN) and finally, it evolved into TEAM KILLER. the idea is this:

you form several groups, each with their own name, and you have to kill everyone else playing the game. the last group "alive" wins the game. (or the "prize" for you highlander fans) you can "kill" another person by hitting them anywhere with a watergun or a water balloon.

the cool thing is you get to plot and stake out people with your team or troupe and creat elaborate ways to get people. now there are a few rules, like you can't get someone on their way to work/school, at work/school, or on their way home from work/school. the hideout would be a safe haven naturally, and other rules as well. we could all chip in $2 and the team divides the pot.

seriously, it's tons of fun. if not alot of people sign up we could also do ASSASSIN, which is the same thing, except you do it solo & you would have an assigned KILL. meaning you would get in touch with "HQ" and receive your next assignment after a completed kill.

i've hosted this event several times before, but have never done it with other improvisers, which would be rather.... interesting to say the least. i would like to host this again, and see the hilarity that ensues. if you are interested sound off here, and let me know your thoughts.

This sounds pretty damn interesting/crazyfun.
I'd be up for it.

Yeah, we used to play TAG (The Assassination Game) in High School sometimes. The way we did it, everyone had an assigned kill and when you killed them, you took over their assignment as your next assigned kill. That way we didn't have to maintain an HQ, the game ran itself (though we had people contact us after they'd been killed or made a kill so that we could "officially" take people off the game roster, but they didn't have to wait around as a target for us to hand out another assignment).

i tried that at first, and it worked fine, but it was really fascinating when you mix it up a bit. "checking into HQ" meant only that you call in, and a voice gives you your next assignment. i remember i assigned three people to assassinate one person. huge ambush infront of his apartment, but some how somw way, he managed to kill all three assassins. plus you get the fuck with people when you tell them the person after them has 5 confirmed kills, or something along those lines... HAHA good times.
