Uneasy Alliance

In assassins games, players often must target their friends. It's a tricky situation that can result in uneasy alliances, as seen in this story.

'Dr. Zoidberg' killed 'masterchief'

After a week or so, I finally killed masterchief. He knew I was coming for him so we had an epic battle before our history class this morning. He can explain it better so I'll let him do it.

This is the tale of the kill; it is a story of deceit, alliances and the battle of the century. Last week as I was studying for my midterm for history, my friend came over to study with me. He sat down and i asked him who his target was for the assassins game. He hesitated...I turned to my computer and continued typing, I had a midterm tomorrow. I then felt a tapping on my left arm; I looked and he was holding a spoon in his hand. I was surprised; he was in the other game and couldn't possibly be my killer. He took out his card showed me and I immediately stabbed him in the chest with my spoon. He looked puzzled and stated that he killed me already, but in reality he hit me on the arm [default rules say that the hit must be on the torso]. As a result of this misunderstanding and stuff (and me being a nice friend) we made an alliance such that this world has never seen before. I was to kill a person every week, and he would not kill me.
This worked at first, I killed barney fife. Everything looked great. But then I got my next assignment and I just got lazy. A week passed and it came to today at 7:50 in the morning. I knew today was the day. I took my duel nerfs and put them in my front pocket of my sweater and went downstairs. He was standing on the other side of the street (we have the same class on thursday) and i tightened my grip on my weapons. He had some weapon in his hand, and i warned him to keep his distance. His other hand shot out of his pocket and revealed a nerf gun. He shot and I skillfully dodged this, but in doing so, I made it so I couldn't get my guns out. He then took out his spoon and half a millisecond before I shot him with both my guns he stabbed me in the right shoulder. I will have my revenge on u wind guy and you will feel my full wrath.
