“Noor and I, being both in the class office, thought it would be best, as already being leaders in the class, to undertake the role as masters. There wasn’t a selection process but more of a first come, first serve. Noor and I are the Senior Masters, handling pretty much everything. However, when we disagreed about an issue or rule change, we brought in a Junior Master to be a tiebreaker and prepare to run Water Assassins 2024. Ben Mienert serves as Junior Master. Water Assassins is supposed to be a fun way to connect with people from all over the school and turn something purely just for fun into something that gives. At the end of the game, 20% of the funds produced will go to a charity of the game masters’ choice. It’s incredible as Masters to see the football players assassinated by the IB kids, and being able to facilitate this is something we will never forget. To run the game with a constant strive to get the next person out and a reward for the players to strive for, we had to ask for $5 per person, equalling $15 per team. We had also decided that to donate to charity; we would have to ask each person for money. It wasn’t a new way we chose, but it was set in stone for many years. Noor and I didn’t participate in the events because we believed we couldn’t provide an equal decision if we did. Ben, however, did participate but unfortunately got out on the first round. For the entire game, we’ve done our best to post videos on time and release targets before the round starts. However, we’ve had to admit that it’s been tricky handling both having part-time jobs, and the stress of college admissions and regular schooling, while also trying to maintain an entire game. When we started this, we expected to have at most 30 people involved. Next, people kept signing up, and we started to gain money. After the signups had ended, we had almost 200 people

“The way you enter the game is by messaging the Instagram account saying you want to get in. You also have to pay a fee to get in.” “The reason you had to pay to get in is because the winners would get 80% of all the money and the rest of it would be donated to a charity of the creators choice.” “My team consisted of Kwasie Warr and Danny Smith.” “I don’t remember the name of the squad we had to eliminate or the names of the people in it but we did eliminate them.” “ The way we eliminated them is by getting one of the girls at work and then the other two were set up by Danny Smith at Sheetz.” “The way he set them up was by telling them that the squad they had to eliminate was there and then we took them out when they got there.” “They still let people in but for $15 a person instead of $15 a team. It’ll probably be harder to get in now though since it’s been multiple rounds already.” “We got eliminated in the third round because we failed to eliminate our team on time.”

“I got into the game because my friends were talking about it and decided to make a team. My team had Robert Baldwin and Keagan. Being in the game was scary and kinda stressful waking up and worrying if someone was coming for you. We were the first team to be eliminated. The way we got eliminated was by going to the house of the people we had to eliminate. What we didn’t know was that they teamed up with the people who had to eliminate us. They eliminated us and we weren’t able to eliminate the team we were supposed to.”
