i have a feeling that this is going to be a very big discussion point..
if a person is in the lobby/common room of his/her dorm, what would happen? say a person was in Byrnes on the first floor, playing a game of pool on the pool table. would he/her still be protected, because he/her is in their dorm, and what if the person is in a different dorm than the one he/she lives in? is it protected territory, or what?

Yeah, I worded that really poorly. The way I see it, you can go to somebody's room and ask to be invited in. You cannot force your way into a room. Halls and such are a grey area, and I'm still trying to figure out what to do. I'm open to any suggestions. I'm thinking that you should be protected if you're in your own dorm, but not in others. I think it might even be best if you could not assassinate inside your own dorm at all, even if invited into another's room. This would cut down on quick eliminations of those in the same dorm.
Again, suggestions?

I think that dorms should be off limits. IE: some people like to chill in a freinds room, and whatnot. I think that theres plenty of other areas to kill people in, such as on the way to classes, dining halls, concerts, etc.
Err, that is, i think that the dorm of the attacker and victim should be offlimits. So if the attacker invites the victim over, he wont get killed in the attackers room, just on the way out.

Yea... me and my friends were trying to figure this out...
i spend alot of my time in their room (4 person apt) and they all might join. i dont even get invited in i just walk into their room.
i think there would be many quick eliminations if you randomly assign the targets and say ... roomates got picked to kill one another.
dorm hallways would be pushing it since they could just wait at the door and shoot me as i walk down the hall, though i would see it coming...
trying to figure out what grounds the dorms count as (safe or hostile) is a very important thing to figure out before the start otherwise there will be alot of appeals to assassiations with some unclear rules.

Dormrooms should be left alone, there's too much gray area. Hell, I could just knock on the door and shoot inward. This is going to be too easy as it is. I'd to say no dorms at all (unless you can lure them outside), especially since that evens it out with people who live off campus, or in the aparments (lightsey, etc.). It sucks, especially since I have some sweet hits in mind for in a dorm, but it's really unfair to allow assassinations in dorms at all.

How about this? If you live in the same dorm building as your target, you can't hit them in the building. If you don't need to be invited into a room (you live there, or are a regular guest) you can't be hit there. But, if you are invited in, and are from a different dorm, kills are legal, and if you are out and about in your dorm building, some one who lives in another building could get a kill. Just my suggestion.

So what do you guys think of the idea that kills in the target's entire dorm are illegal, but any other building is fair game?

I think that the smaller the safe zone the better. That would mean that we have to be on alert at all times, which is after all, the spirit of the game.

Is there going to be any rules on roomates being assinged each other? Im sure its bound to happen, but i feel that perhaps some interesting twists would be called for to prevent one from being shot on the way to the bathroom. Although, allowing the target not to be killed in his dorm would solve this.

Although, allowing the target not to be killed in his dorm would solve this. These are the two main conflicts with this problem. I think the best solution is going to be to have the mark's entire dorm off-limits, as that's not really that big an area when taking the entire campus into account, but it allows for a safe zone between roommates and friends. I'm also going to do my best to not pair those in the same building during the initial matchups, but after that the game is out of my control.

That sounds fair, but here's a question:
What about shooting into or out of a safezone? Is that allowed. For example: If someone (who belongs in my dorm) is walking by, could I shoot them from my window inside the "safe" dorm room?
Just a little confusing matter. Personally, I think that if you can nail someone from a dorm window like that, it should count as a kill, but I'm more concerned about the return-fire issue here.

I see no problem with sniping somebody from a window and them returning fire into your dorm. If an assassination attempt is made, return fire is legal.

So about the assigning of targets:
Don't know how much thought you put into it, but a definite list should be made prior to assigning targets. Then, one continuous chain needs to be established so that a scenario as such will not occur.
A must kill B. B must kill C C must kill A.
D must kill E. E must kill F. and so on and so on.
Cuz eventually, one person will kill 3 or 4 people down the chain and it gets complicated if they are now forced to kill themselves (I don't support suicide). Just thought you might want to take that into account.

The way I have the list configured, it shouldn't happen. I will take care of any issues should they arise.

Alright, here's my proposal for the change to the rules.
1) The only neutral zone where no assassination can occur is inside the target's apartment/dorm building. This, however, does not apply to defense. Shooting your assassin anywhere, including in your own apartment/dorm building disables them for 24 hours. Hallways of other buildings, bathrooms, classrooms, and such are fair game, although we ask that you do not disturb other classes or students by running through their classrooms or hallways. If you do so, you will be held responsible (i.e. don't blame me.)
Basically, that keeps dorm buildings safe on a limited level, and also makes defense slightly more applicable. Note that even though you cannot be shot in your own dorm, you are able to put your assassin in a coma.
That should take care of all the roommate/same dorm/same apartment problems, even though it is annoying that dorm's are taken off limits.
I also propose the following.
"Once the playing field is narrowed down to eight assassins, ONLY the victim's room is safe quarter. Once the eight person mark is reached, an e-mail will be sent out to all players indicating that dorm buildings are no longer safe havens."
