----------------------------------------------
Game hosts (also 'Umpires', 'Referees') begin by advertising that a game is being set up, and instruct potential players to send in their personal details. Once enough players have signed up, the game host assigns targets to the players. A player is usually told the personal details of their target as collected by the game host. The aim of the game is for players to track down and eliminate their targets until only one player remains. When a player eliminates his target, he gets his victim's target(s). If only one player remains, the game is over.
Players are only allowed to eliminate their target or their killer (self defense). They may not take actions that would kill anyone else (including non players) if they were real (such action are null and void, and eliminate the one that takes them instead.) A simulated bomb is therefore a risky strategy, because if anyone else is near the bomb at the time it goes off, the kill is usually voided, to prevent griefing.
Eliminations (also known as kills) occur when a target is removed from the game because of his targeter's actions. Game rules always list the actions that cause elimination. For example, an elimination could involve wetting the target with a water pistol. Targets that are eliminated tend to remain eliminated.
A safe-zone is a place that protects a player from elimination. Safe-zones are declared by game hosts. They are picked to maximize fairness and minimize disruptiveness. Safe-zones that increase fairness are places players are required to go, and places players live. Safe-zones that decrease disruptiveness are places where formal activities happen (e.g. classrooms, religious buildings, and workplaces).
Eliminations made in the presence of a witness (or witnesses) might not count and might result in the publication of the assassin's identity.
Game hosts might assign certain items to be worn or actions to be performed that protect the wearer or performer from elimination. These items or actions are called Safeties. The safety can last for one specific day or last for the duration of the game. By wearing silly items or performing outlandish actions players have more fun and can spread knowledge of the game to people not currently playing.
Some games have "police forces", often composed of eliminated players, whose job is to track down rule-breakers. Some have time limits on eliminations and penalize players not eliminating. Some allow non-players and eliminated players to participate; acting as informants and bodyguards. Depending on the set rules an assassin may even be hunted by a group - this is a good way to keep the finalists busy and ensures that all those in the group remain interested as well.
