[MR] Advice to newcomers. Achbar's point of view

[Jim]

Actually, the game was a sideline to the event overall, just something else to help amuse folks thru the day.
 
And covered the game vs. persona difference in my opening sentence.

Hi there,
 
That event sounds like fun, and I like the pillow-fish thing.
 
However, being an assassin at an event with an assassination theme is one
thing, and being an assassin as your persona is a whole different thing.  (And I
don't mean to imply that you don't see the difference, only that
it's not stated.)

Overall, would have to agree with the general negative sentiments about
assassins and pirates as far as personas go (especially pirates....)
 
However, I must say I have seen the "assassin game" played fairly
successfully at my first Atlantian event, Dun Carraig's Challenge of the
Heart in spring of 2004.
