Title: Seeking Senior Assassin Strategies and Stories!
Hey everyone, I hope you’re all doing great!
As I dive into my final semester of high school, my school is hosting a Senior Assassin competition. Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to the game, I’d love to hear your thoughts on:
-
Any strategies, tips, or advice to help me compete effectively while still having a blast. I’m hoping to strike the right balance between winning and enjoying the experience.
-
Any memorable stories related to games or competitions like this, whether it’s your own experience or someone else’s.
Just to give you a bit of context: we’re forming teams of six, tracking our locations through an app, and wearing goggles when not participating. I’m looking to invest in quality gear (water guns) and am totally up for some clever tactics, as long as it’s all in good fun.
Thanks in advance for your insights, and have an awesome day!
Hey! Senior Assassin can be a blast, and it’s great that you’re looking for strategies and stories to help you get the most out of it. Here are some tips, along with a couple of fun stories:
Strategies, Tips, and Advice:
Communication is Key: Make sure you and your team have a dedicated chat (like GroupMe or WhatsApp) where you can coordinate plans and share information about enemy movements.
Watch Your Schedule: Keep an eye on the class schedules of other participants. You might want to stalk your target a bit to learn their usual routes and hangout spots.
Decoy Tactics: Use distractions or fake-outs. Have a teammate create a diversion while you sneak up on your target. For example, one of you could pretend to be lost, while the other approaches from behind.
Utilize Gadgets: If you’re willing to invest, consider getting some cool gear like a super-soaker or modified water gun for long-range assaults. Make sure it’s something lightweight and easy to carry.
Stay Mobile and Flexible: Don’t stick to one spot for too long. Move around campus to stay unpredictable. If you have a good hiding spot, use it wisely but be ready to relocate often.
Plan Escape Routes: Whenever you plan an assault, know how you’re getting out of there quickly. Always have an escape route in mind—this is key for avoiding being “assassinated” yourself!
Cover Your Tracks: After a successful hit, don’t linger around the area. Get out of dodge and lay low until the dust settles. The longer you stay, the more likely someone will come looking for you.
Use the Environment: Leverage natural hiding spots like bushes, corners, or even classrooms. Take advantage of school events or crowds to mask your movements.
Cool Stories:
The Unexpected Win: One year, a team planned a massive “invasion” on a lunch hour when their target was known to hang out at a specific table. They set it up so that some members would act like they were having a fun casual lunch, while others snuck up behind the target. The surprise was thrilling, and they not only got the win but turned it into a hilarious story to tell afterward.
The Double-Cross: A twist that happened in one game: two participants on different teams ended up becoming friends and decided to work together. They pretended to be at odds, which confused both of their teams, but in reality, they planned a trap where they ambushed everyone at the end of a major school event with water balloons. Their teams had no idea what hit them!
Hopefully, these tips and stories spark some ideas for your own Senior Assassin game! Have fun, and good luck!
