Generally what I see around is either:
Assassin
Assasin (The above spelled incorrectly)
or Sin

I thin Sin will catch on in time.

people's stubborness is amazing.

do you call necromancers 'cers'?
do you call elementalists 'lists'?
do you call mesmers 'mers'?

no you don't. quit jerking around about a short form of 'assasin', we all already agreed that ASS is indeed the best. sin is just stupid and retarted.

Because too many people are either lazy or illiterate and can't manage to spell assassin correctly. Also making the announcement shorter, you use the shortened forms. I don't like Ass for obvious reasons. Asn, seems too much to be "Asian" for me. ASSN is short doesn't seem right either. Sin seems the best so far but not quite right either. Best to see what happens when they get a build name going. Until then I will go with the full word.

for Ignis - "Eles"

I write "assassin" two ways: Sin or 'Sin

My reason; donno, maybe I am asshamed of the class and I don't want to fully indentify with them until the n00bs loose interest in dying; I'm in class denial!

IMO Assn seems best. Sin seems rather stupid, ass makes sense but isnt quite the best.

Since 'hashishim' is the source word that 'assassin' came from, maybe we could just nickname assassins 'hashes'.

That's what I use. Only four letters, 2 are the same... easy to type in. And it avoids the annoying (all the while amusing) Ass/Me LFG!

I gotta say though.. "Mo'/Ass" had me cracking up.

Here's to taking that comment literally (although off-topic)...

I find Me/A a very effective combination, specifically the Illusion/Deadly Arts line. Using Clumsiness + Ineptitude + Signet of Shadows nets a quick 300+ damage with good timing, and leaves them blinded. Fooling around with spells such as Impale, Crippling Dagger and Assassin's Promise {E} is also very fun.

"Who ever knew 'sinning was so fun..." Is my new motto >.>

'sin, 'ssin, sin, or ssin ftw.

Vaga · May 06, 2006, 01:45 PM // 13:45

The short form is 'Sin' like in every other game that has Assasins

jonnybegood · May 06, 2006, 01:50 PM // 13:50

in D2 it was sin and that what it shall be (in my mind)

PrometheusG · May 06, 2006, 03:46 PM // 15:46

I call them Minion Fodder...MM FTW!

Reminds me of the old print ad for Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix.

"These two put the Ass in Assassin." (or something like that)

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any scans of that ad with that wording and I've long since tossed out all my game magazines from that era...

Sagaris · May 06, 2006, 04:13 PM // 16:13

I saw someone using 'azz'. Which I'm using now.

Da Cebuano · May 06, 2006, 05:17 PM // 17:17

ASS LFG! - yeah thats a good way to get into groups, as if assassins aren't already overpopulating GW that groups are already adverting *no more assassins!*
