UEA Assassins Society

 If you want to kill your friends for fame and fortune, then the Assassins society is for you! Using Nerf blasters, home-made weapons, or any other safe, fun method you can think of, we run week-long games across campus where the aim is to hunt down other members of the society and "eliminate" them. In addition to this, we run action packed minigames on weekends and evenings outside (weather permitting) or inside, along with weapon creation sessions and occasional socials and an end of year varsity trip.  We’re a relaxed and welcoming group to all play styles and abilities.

Weapons

Almost anything can be used as a lethal weapon! Nerf guns are our most common weapons of choice, but kills have previously been made with light-sabers, spatulas, pens and a banana, amongst other things. We run melee weapon creation sessions for making cardboard swords, foam daggers, sheilds, or anything else you can make - we even provide the cardboard!  The only restrictions are that your weapons must not actually hurt anyone, and they must not make a mess, so no BB guns, and no water pistols! Feel free to bring your own, but the society has an impressive arsenal open to everyone!

Games

We run a variety of game types at different events.  Our week-long games take place across the whole of campus, where players can take down opponents in between lectures.  Game modes include the likes of the classic Team Deathmatch, the momentum-based Warlords (your victims join your team on the following day), the inevitable Zombie Apocalypse, and the nail-biting Guild game. In these games, you can typically expect to join back in on the next day if you die, and you can identify the other players by looking for a green or yellow armband on their arm. In some games, rather than a team of players to take on, you'll be given a single target and their timetable with which to hunt them down. But watch out - another player will be hunting you too!
Our minigames take a more fast-paced form and usually happen on Saturday afternoons. We get out our bigger guns (and often lend them to newer members if we think you're outgunned) before engaging in call-of-duty-style nerf wars in Earlham Park, outside the Ziggurats, or in Congregation Hall. We often head to the bar afterwards, and this is a great opportunity to properly meet and make friends with your fellow assassins!

Social Events

We run a variety of socials throughout the year, including quizzes, barbeques, parties, and board game nights.  At the end of the summer term, we also take part in the Assassins Varsity competition in which societies from around the UK meet up for a bumper session of minigames over a weekend. We get to hang out with other large guilds such as Sheffield, York and Durham, check out the host city and have a lot of fun!
