Given: three “assignments,” your goals;

· Remove them, and in doing so acquire their “assignments.”

· Protect yourself, mostly through paranoia.

· Outlast all other players.

Pre-Game Matters:

· Return the attached “information sheet” to whoever gave this packet to you, unless otherwise instructed. Do this no latter than March 14^th.

· You will receive your “assignments” prior to spring break. It has yet to be determined if this will be done electronically or physically.

· The game will start the first Monday after spring break (April 3^rd).

· The game will end at sometime near senior graduation; an exact date will be announced in the future.

Ground Rules:

· All decisions made by the Umpire are final.

· You are “out” if you are dampened by your unknown opponent with H₂O.

· Once a player is “out” both parties must report the “out” by email to liquidator.umpire@yahoo.com ASAP. Any complaints that the “out” player might have should be filed at this time.

· A player is also “out” if they have not gotten an “assignment” “out” in a 10 day period (their assignments may be redistributed according to the Umpire’s judgment).

· You may not get an “assignment” “out” in the designated “safe zones.”

· If the “assignment” hits you (outside a “safe zone”) before you hit them, they are safe until the next day begins (for the purposes of this game every day begins at 12 AM).

· There are no rules against contacting your “assignments.”

Safe Zones:

· Everything that is considered part of the LOHS or LHS campus, as well as a 100 yard buffer area around each campus.

· The “assignment’s” place of business if applicable, as well as a 100 yard buffer area around that.

· Churches/places of worship and their grounds. (Assuming that the “assignment” is attending a service/function, they cannot run onto said property and be proclaimed safe.)

· Sporting events of which the “assignment” is a part of (on the team, or must attend for some other reason) no matter if it is on a school campus or not. Thus, spectators are not safe, with an exception of the athletes they have come to support (spectators can get each other “out” but spectators cannot get athletes “out” or vice versa) assuming in this case the event is not at the LHS or LOHS campus.

· Medical facilities (assuming the “assignment” has an appointment/is in need of treatment, emergency or otherwise.)

· Mutual agreements can made between two or more parties and must be honored with honesty and integrity (don’t set your friend up) however they are only safe for the parties that made the agreement, should an outside party intrude they do not have to honor the agreed upon safe zone.

It should be noted your residence is not designated a safe zone, however please use your best judgment if you do decide to target your “assignment” at their home.

Legal Arms:

· Water guns of all sizes*

· Water filled balloons*

· Buckets of water

· Hoses*

· Water Bottles*

· Any other apparatus that expels H₂O*

*Only the H₂O inside may be used against (touch) the “assignment” (no pistol whipping).

Miscellaneous:

· Information pertaining to game such as; who got “out,” who got them “out,” or any other information will be updated daily at http://liquidator06.blogspot.com/. This information will be more general and thus will lack the need of privacy provided by email.

· In all likelihood a “second tier” will begin two to three weeks into the competition, anyone who got “out” will be allowed to enter this “tier.” Also people who get out after the first two to three weeks will be eligible to enter the “second tier.” So the longer you stay alive in the first tier the better your chances are in the “second tier” should you get “out.”

It is important to realize that the spirit of the rules are more important then the rules themselves. Bear in mind it is only a game, and the ultimate goal is safe harmless fun. If an issue does arise the Umpire’s word will obviously be considered final.

Important: Communication will be conducted mainly through email, thus it is important that you continually check your email to learn of all game developments. If you do not respond to email in a timely manor the Umpire reserves the right to disqualify you.
