Last year I tried to run a game of Assassin but it never got off the ground for a variety of reasons. The big one was that I got a lot of very fast very negative responses claiming that because the Olympics were coming up and there was a very widespread sense of heightened security here in Beijing that not only would they be unwilling to play but that I should purge the thought of running a game from my mind.

In retrospect, I should have said “fuck all you haters” and run it anyway because I don’t think it would have caused any major problems. At the time though, I was cowed into pulling back on my recruiting efforts which led into the second problem which was just not having enough enthusiastically interested people to get a game going.

This year I went after it strongly and it’s come together wonderfully. I had 60 people on board on the starting day and though a few had to drop out for assorted reasons, the game is going strong and so far (admittedly only 3 days in) so good.

That said, it is eating up a lot of my free time and screwing with my sleep schedule (all kills so far have been made after 11pm which for a early bird like me is a little tough), but I’m enjoying seeing the game unfold.
