RULE #1: Above all things, this game is supposed to be FUN, the point is to have a good time!
Disclaimer: Do not hurt anybody!
Join the Game

To join a game, you must first be registered as a user with TheHappyZork. If you are not yet registered,
visit the registration page to sign up – it's quick, easy, and free! Once you have logged in, visit the
assassins page, find the game you wish to join, and click "join this game."
NOTE: Both these steps MUST be completed in full to successfully join a game -- registering with
TheHappyZork alone is not enough!
Once you click on the assassins link, submit the following information:
Full name and room number. This info will only be given to the person(s) assigned as your assassin so they
have the necessary information to track you down. Providing false or misleading information in an effort to
throw your assassin off the scent is not acceptable; the game admins will remove you from the game.
Choose an alias. While your assassin will receive your full name, you don't want it to be viewed by
everyone (or your target will know who you are!). Choose an alias that will be viewed by all others; it can
be anything from Smooth Stalker to George W. Bush – be creative!
Once this step is completed, all you have to do is wait until the game commences and you receive your
target information via email – you're ready to start stalking! Throughout the game, you'll be able to
navigate all game features from the assassins tab once you're logged in to TheHappyZork.
Report Elimination of Target

If you eliminate your target – You must log on to TheHappyZork and list your target as dead. To do this,
click the link provided in your targeting email, log in, and find the link "report my target as dead." Once
you complete the details of the elimination, an email will be sent to the target you eliminated. Once the
eliminated target logs in and verifies the kill, you will be emailed with your new target information.
If you are eliminated – If your assassin kills you, the assassin must log in to TheHappyZork and report
the kill. Once the report is made, you will receive an email requesting your confirmation. Please confirm
quickly; the game administrator has the ability to arbitrarily mark you dead, but it moves the game along
much faster if you take responsibility for your own death.
If you were reported as eliminated, but dispute the claim – If you've been marked as eliminated, and
you claim you weren't, follow the same link as above but click "no", rather than "yes." Any information
to put in the description box will be emailed to the game administrators, who will decide your fate.
I. ASSASSINATION
In this game, you are expected to assassinate your current target within 48 hours or face possible
termination. For an assassination attempt to be successful, the following conditions must be satisfied:
1. The assassination must NOT be visibly witnessed by any 4th Floor resident other than the assassin and
the target (even if the witness is not participating in the game).
o If someone sees the target as they are killed, WITHOUT seeing the assassin, or weapon, then
they did not “visibly witness” the assassination.
O It is prohibited to use physical force to remove witnesses from the kill scene (use brains not
brawn!)
2. The target must have BOTH feet outside of the following SAFE ZONES:
o the target's own dorm room
o the target's classroom (only while that class is in session or within 10 minutes before or after)
o inside the Cafeteria during meal hours
–breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner at La Roche are all safe
–after official meal hours end, the cafeteria is not safe even if you are still eating
3. It is prohibited to use physical force to remove an assassin from a safe zone.
4. It is prohibited to take an assassin's weapon when the assassin is touching it.
5. The assassin must not be neutralized when the assassination occurs.
When you kill someone, you must go to www.thehappyzork.com (or click on the link in your
targeting email) and report the assassination. Both the assassin and target must verify the kill.
Disputes will be handled by the administrator. (See details in above section)
Once you assassinate someone, you will be assigned his/her target, but you can ask them who their target
is and begin to pursue them before receiving official confirmation. However, you still have to confirm
your kill.
Example: You kill Target A and find that A was supposed to kill Target B. This makes Target B your new
target. You walk down the hall on your way back to confirm your kill and see Target B foolishly reading
in the lounge by himself. Feel free to eliminate Target B. But report your kill to TheHappyZork as soon
as possible.
Just to be clear, you will not be notified who is trying to assassinate you!
II. WEAPONS
Three kinds of items will be considered as legitimate weapons for this game:
1. A Balled-up Sock: The sock can be used as a projectile or close-range weapon. It

must make contact with the target’s body or piece of clothing.
2. A Plastic Spoon: The spoon may only be used as a close-range weapon (NO
THROWING). It must make contact with the target’s body or piece of clothing.
3. Post-it Note: A Post-it may be used as “poison”. In order for the kill to be
counted, a note labeled “You Lose” must be placed under the target’s
plate/glass/bowl with no witnesses present (though they may be present at the
time of consumption), and the target must take a bite of the food.
III. NEUTRALIZATION
At any time, if your target shoots you before you successfully assassinate him/her, you are
NEUTRALIZED. When you are neutralized, you cannot kill anyone for 60 MINUTES.
Your target may not neutralize you while you are already neutralized. However, your target may re-
neutralize you after the 60 minutes has expired.
If you attempt to exploit the neutralization rules by shooting everyone in a blind attempt to neutralize
your assassin, you will be marked for termination. IE, if you try to neutralize more than 2 people in one
day, you will be marked for termination.
IV. TERMINATION
If you fail to assassinate your target within 48 hours after your target was assigned, your name will be
passed on to one of the elite invincible commandos known as TERMINATORS. You will not be warned
if a Terminator has been assigned to you. Terminators cannot be neutralized, and they can shoot you even
in front of witnesses.
Terminators may kill you anywhere, even in safe zones i.e. if you are shot by a Terminator, you are dead.
Table 1: Conditions under which you may be terminated
What You can do to avoid

Why the Terminators are after you: termination:
You failed to assassinate your target

within 48 hours Assassinate your target ASAP
You failed to report your elimination

immediately Report your kill ASAP
You attempted to neutralize a large
number of people to avoid
assassination. Beg for mercy
Assassins who have been eliminated from the game may apply to become a Terminator. Each terminator
will be assigned one target at a time. However, one assassin may be targeted by several terminators.
When only two assassins remain, the terminators will be called off.
V. AUTO-TERMINATION-WITH-PREJUDICE
Assassins who do not assassinate their target within 72 hours will be automatically removed from the
game.
VI. ENDGAME
When only two assassins remain in the game, they will be assigned each other as targets. Terminators
will be dispatched if there is no winner within 72 hours.
The standard assassination and neutralization rules continue to apply, with one exception: If both
assassins shoot each other at the same time (or cannot come to an agreement as to who was hit first), they
are both neutralized. Ties are not allowed.
VII. MISCELLANEOUS
1•
Lying about your participation in the game is grounds for automatic elimination.
