So I'm tootling around looking at e-mails and stuff and I see this list of "most popular searches today" and lo and behold, number ten was "assassin's creed".Now I'm a literal minded person so I thought. Hmmm. Assassin's have a creed? What the heck kind of creed would a bunch of assassins have? Maybe like, "don't kill innocent bystanders" or "collateral damage is not acceptable". Or it could maybe be "if possible assassinations should look like an accident" or "don't carry out a mission when children are present".
Anyway, curiosity got the best of me, I admit! So I clicked on "assassin's creed" and... it's a game. Bummer. Who would name a GAME something like that? Apparently, the second version of it is coming out so there are all these posts and forums about the new game. Gah.
That's sort of like searching for information on fairy lore and only finding pages about fairy characters from Dragons and Dungeons type games. I was soooo disappointed.
So I've decided to put together my own ASSASSINS CREED. And I need your help. Put in your suggestions. I'll be drawing one entry at random for a free autographed copy of Carnal Camelot. So make 'em good.

ReplyDeleteAssassins Creed:
1) Only get rid of people who delight in hurting other people.
2) Never actually kill anyone, set them up to do it to themselves.
3) Never have a witness, especially a child.
4) Have three routes of escape and two back up plans.
5) Never use a gun unless it is in clear provable self defense.
6) Know who you are working for, and make certain they don't know you.
7) Never fall in love with anyone involved.
8) If you break rule #7, its past time to retire.
