sounds cool, but can it be held in INTERNATIONAL district? Makes a bit more sence.

Derrick the Nomad · Jun 18, 2006, 05:52 PM // 17:52

I checked that district and it's dead -so unless a lot of europeans sign up (and they will have to specify that they are european) -This contest will stay on the US server.

Mr_eX · Jun 18, 2006, 05:58 PM // 17:58

It makes more sense to use International district since it will be empty. That way you won't need to compete with normal PUG formation in the American district.

Just my two cents.

How about signing up guys. I want to see who does well in this.

My in-game name is Dwelled Uponu.

I believe I'll be the Last Assassin Standing because I move fast with my character. I'm good at judging when its time to move out before dieing. Hope my judgement is great during the contest. And because majority of the assassin out there think they can tank, let them do their stupid crap and die, while I win.

Hope this helps get more players signing up.

will we be entering the Temple mission?? or going out into explorable area near temple?

I believe i will be the last assassin standing because I have never played a Warrior so I know how much abuse a 70 al char can take before its time to get out. Also because i dont try to tank like a wammo

i might not have read well, but last assasin standing in a group of 8, with one person most likely ressing?

i dunnno but if i had an assasin i would have a self heal build with minimal dmg

I believe that I will be the last assassin standing! After killing hoards of Afflicted, I feel that I can keep alive against those crazy people for ages. Finally we can find out that assassins can charge and won't die like a frenzied healsiging warrior.

Ure Maker · Jun 19, 2006, 01:25 AM // 01:25

WTF is the point all you will see is a/me, and them arcane echo'ing Shadow Form,

I'll be the LAS because I'm great at dancing in and out of danger. I've also had a couple of practice runs with decent results.

Jedediah Strong · Jun 19, 2006, 01:32 PM // 13:32

In game is Jester Vile. A/E20. He will obviously be the last Assassin standing. Because his master studies this game and has played this game top to bottom, bottom to top. Over and over.

Derrick the Nomad · Jun 20, 2006, 11:04 PM // 23:04

Thank you for helping me see my errors and the rules have been edited accordingly.
Please accept my apology for alienating the International community.
Plenty of spots still open.

Shantel Span · Jun 21, 2006, 04:35 AM // 04:35

Pity I can't join...six character slots all maxed out and all that jazz...no assassin but I do have a R/A that i've been doing Assassin builds on.

Alathys Tylderaan · Jun 21, 2006, 05:14 AM // 05:14

Khintaa Tylderaan A/N 20 - Earliest time slot please, I'm a euro

I expect I wont be the last assassin standing, but I'll give it a damn good go anyway ^_^
