Busan Assassin
Pweb - Fri, 2008-05-30 12:32
Welcome to a ten day street tournament to find out who has the sharpest aim and greatest stealth. Welcome to Busan Assassin.
Here’s a video to get you up to speed.
At the end of June the Busan streets will be filled with crazed foreigners, set on vengeance at all costs. Secretive assassins will roam the city, searching for their next hit without remorse. Fortunately, it won't be blood that will be spilt, but water!
To raise money for charity, the Sung Ae Won Orphanage , a unique event has been organized. "Busan Assassin" will run from June 18 to June 28, culminating in an awards show/party/final fundraiser event at Fabric, located in Kyungsung. Prizes will be available for the most prolific participants.
More prizes are to come but for now:
Top Assassin/Assassin Team: 100,000 won
Second Place: 50,000 won
Top Police Officer: 25,0000 won
Most Imaginative Kill: 25,000 won
The object of the game is simple, kill or be killed, using water pistols as the primary weapon. For a base 10,000 won donation each participant will be given a water pistol an envelope with the name of their single target as well as information regarding their whereabouts. They will then have to track them down, and slay them using their water pistol. Once accomplished they'll inherit their initial targets would-be victim, and the game continues until a final champion emerges. There will also be a "police force" (which one can join if they are eliminated from competition) to regulate the game rules, as well as to pursue slothful assassins. Workplaces (particularly given that most participants will be English teachers) are off limits, and restaurants and bars will be as well, to protect the innocent!
This event is the second in a series of events aimed to raise funds for the orphanage, while also involving foreigners more directly in the Korean life that all-to-often exists all around them. The first event, Busan Beer Olympics, was held Saturday, April 5, and raised almost 900,000 won from entry fees, donations, and commemorative t-shirt sales. The second aims to be bigger and better, not only in terms of entertainment (hopefully for spectators as well as participants), but also in regards to the money collected for the orphanage.
