Club Deportivo Zapata

1. The assassination must NOT be visibly witnessed by any Casa Zapata resident other than the assassin and the target (even if the witness is not participating in the game).
• It counts as "visibly witnessing" the assassination if someone sees the water gun at the instant the trigger is pulled OR if someone sees the water as it travels through the air.
2. The water must hit the target, or any piece of the target's clothing.
3. The assassin must use a standard-issue water gun, which will be distributed to assassins before the start of the game.
4. The target must have one or both feet outside of the following SAFE ZONES:
• ANY ZAPATA RESIDENCE!!!
• ANY Computer Cluster on Stanford Campus...this also includes the RCC's room.
• the target's own dorm room
• a bathroom or shower inside Casa Zapata
• the target's current classroom (only while that class is in session or within 10 minutes before or after)
• inside Stern Dining during meal hours
• breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner at Stern are all safe
• however, Late Nite is NOT safe
• after official meal hours end, Stern Dining is not safe even if you are still eating
5. It is prohibited to use physical force to remove an assassin from a safe zone.
6. It is prohibited to take an assassin's gun when the assassin is touching it.
7. The assassination must not occur during, or within 5 minutes before or after, a house or hall meeting, unless the victim is outside of Casa Zapata (the shortest paths to house meetings are safe during the specified time frame).
8. The assassin must not be neutralized when the assassination occurs.

When you have successfully assassinated your target, take their card with their codename and next target (if this is lost, have the victim make a new one), then both you AND the target you eliminated must report the kill by emailing zapataassassin@gmail.com in the following form:

Assassin <your codename>: Killed <victim codename>, next target: <target 1>

(ie Assassin Akhenaton II: Killed J-Ro, next target PHE@large)

or if you died...

Victim <your name>: Killed by name, previous target Codename <target 2>

(ie Victim Jessica D.: Killed by Aton, pervious target Cuata)

If time permits provide an interesting story about how you managed to outwit your opponenet.

 

II. NEUTRALIZATION

At any time, if your target shoots you before you successfully assassinate him/her, you are NEUTRALIZED. When you are neutralized, you cannot kill anyone for 120 MINUTES. Your target may neutralize you at any time, even while you are in a safety area (with an exclusion of all zapata residences that are not your own and the computer cluster).

Your target may not neutralize you while you are already neutralized. However, your target may re-neutralize you after the 120 minutes has expired.

If you attempt to exploit the neutralization rules by shooting everyone in a blind attempt to neutralize your assassin, you will be marked for termination.

III. TERMINATION

If you fail to assassinate your target within 36 hours after your target was assigned, your name will be passed on to one of the elite invincible super-soaking commandos known as TERMINATORS. You will not be warned if a Terminator has been assigned to you. Terminators cannot be neutralized, and they can shoot you with any type of water gun, even in front of witnesses.

TERMINATORS MAY GET YOU ANYWHERE...YOU ARE NOT SAFE IF YOU ARE TO BE TERMINATED. YOU MAY EVEN BE SHOWERED!!!

Table III.1a : Conditions under which you may be terminated

Why the Terminators are After You	How to Save Yourself from Termination
You failed to assassinate your target within 36 hours after the game started or since your last kill.	Assassinate your target ASAP.
You failed to report your kill immediately (i.e., your target reported the kill before you)	Report your kill ASAP.
You attempted to neutralize a large number of people to avoid assassination.	Beg for mercy.

Assassins who have been eliminated from the game may be enlisted to become terminators.

When only two assassins remain, the terminators will be called off.

IV. AUTO-TERMINATION-WITH-PREJUDICE

Assassins who do not assassinate their target within 72 hours will be automatically removed from the game.

V. ENDGAME

When only two assassins remain in the game, they will be assigned each other as targets. These assassins are automatically immune from termination and auto-termination.

The standard assassination and neutralization rules continue to apply, with one exception: If both assassins shoot each other at the same time (or cannot come to an agreement as to who was hit first), they are both neutralized. Ties are not allowed.
