I hate this game.
I hate that my kid decided to participate. I hate that some kids know where I live and were camped out at the edge of my yard (and came up to my garage before I asked them to leave my property) waiting for my kid to come out to go to school. I hate guns and gun culture. I hate that in my UMC neighborhood maybe no one would blink an eye with kids running around with plastic guns but in other neighborhoods kids are getting shot for real. I wish I could listen to those who will invariably repsond here telling me to lighten up. But I can't. The world is heavy right now and this game of assasin isn't helping. I hate the hate I am feeling. Water balloons? Tag (like the movie based on the real life game of tag friends played for decades)? Keeping it at school (evidentely, you cannot play at school at all)? Keeping it to the daytime? Is there something that could change to make this work? |

| It's such a dumb game of privilege and parents need to put their foot down and stop it. It has no part in the schools or anywhere and did not exist in this detail ten years ago. Stop your kid from doing it and work to get all of the parents to do the same. Waste of time for police, school officials, etc. to manage this stupid game. |

| Yeah DD just started this today at her school, seems like competitive but fun social networking activity as opposed to something bad |

Assassin game is at least 25 years old. I don't blame the innocent kids with fake guns for the horrifically violent world their parents created. |

| I really got tired of opening my garage door every morning and having to move the trash cans they put in front of my doors so my husband and I could leave. We also got tired of going out the front door and yelling ‘it is not x’ so not to get a face full of water. Though it was funny when my neighbor texted me to say there was a guy in my bushes. The neighbor did not know about the game and got a good laugh. |

If you hate it, solve the problem for your family by having your kid quit the game.
I have a senior and they are having fun with water guns and friends and play at the end of their childhood. |

| First world problem. Get therapy if you can’t handle your kids playing a game. They will engage in far riskier behavior at college. |
