The senior class’ tradition of playing Assassins, a role-playing game, during second semester is now online at nchsassassins.com, said senior Ben Dunn, the Web site’s co-creator.

Assassins is played by assigning players a victim to “kill” and continuing to kill the victims of your victim with waterguns, until there is one winner.

Senior Eric Simons, the organizer of this year’s game and the Web site, said that the game is more efficient than in previous years.

“In years past, students had to carry around cards,” Simons said. “If you make your assassinations, you take their card, but it can be inefficient because you can lose your card.

“This new approach is accessible everywhere.”

Dunn also said the Web site lets the game become “user run,” and he and Simons rarely have to get involved unless “there is something that needs to be mediated, or if there is a problem.”

“[This year] is the largest game of Assassins at NCHS, and the numbers are just below 400, so it essentially doubled from last year,” Simons said.

Simons also said the Web site allows the creators to not receive any of the funds, which is a change from previous years.

“We have received a lot of revenue from the ads on the Web site, and all the money is just from ads,” Simons said.

More prizes will be awarded because of the increase of money, Dunn said.

The large success of the Web site has lead many students from other schools, such as Waubonsie Valley, to ask to use the same software for their game, Simons said.

“Everyone is saying thanks for running it,” Simons said. “It’s been pretty well-received.”
