February 22nd marked the official start of 2008's CU Assassins, a game "of espionage, stealth, and resourcefulness" (according to sponsor ESC's website). With nearly 4 days of gameplay behind CU's most resourceful/stealth, the death toll keeps climbing. ESC keeps a record of all deaths that include a description of the deceased at the time of h20 ex machina. Bwog has anthologized a collection of this year's most colorful and most violent death certificates.

Deceased: Xinsuide
Time of Death: Monday, February 25 at 11:02 PM
Location of Death: McBain 6
Summary of Death: Xinsuide, a fierce assassin and maiden in gentle youth, who glows in the midst of thousands of enemies, female warrior, who had laid down her arms for the evening. Faith of friendship her vulnerability exposed, her brilliant form welcomed the sly acting villain into her abode, the enemy. And she [Xinsuide], virtuous amazon, while in gentle trust of the serpent she harbored, turned to offer noble hospitality, the fiend, cruelly, struck her from behind. Cut down by water, all lament, and even her killer is moved to regret.

Last week, B&W staffer Brendan Ballou sat down with Dan Okin, commissioner of CUAssassins, to talk about deceit, cunning, and how assassinating targets can make you a better person. Also, Tao Tan's early years.

Should we be teaching people to assassinate?
I mean, life isn't always about what you see in front of you. So I don't see anything wrong with teaching students to use of all of their wits in trying to sneak up on someone. Sometimes it's the best business strategy. Sometimes it's the best strategy in life.

A Blue and White correspondent was killed today during the game of "assassins" when she received a fake flower delivery call. Dubious but curious, she was shot in the back with a water pistol when she went to verify.

Don't mess with the Bwog. The hearts of first-years are not fair game. You'll pay.
