[FUN] Assassins

    This is a minecraft version of the classic College game.

    The basic idea is that every player has a target whom they are trying to 'kill'. If they manage to kill their target their next victim becomes that player who was their original target's target. The game continues until there is only one assassin left.

    In the case of three players, the possible targets could be as follows:
    Adam -> Barry
    Barry -> Chloe
    Chloe -> Adam

    If Adam manages to kill Barry, then Adam's next target is Chloe.

    'Killing' another assassin typically happens by finding your victim alone, brandishing a weapon and telling them that you are killing them. Codenames are often given to each assassin so that you can be certain that the assassin who tries to kill you is actually your assailant. This might not be necessary in a minecraft version (as the plugin can do this work for you).

    There are a few rules that are common to have in the game.
    1. Your target must be alone when you kill them. Alone typically means no other assassins can be seen close by, or within earshot.

    2. You must use a valid weapon. Trying to kill someone with a piece of bread is frowned upon. A toaster is a much better idea.

    3. Different ways to speed the game up. One common method is to eliminate all players remaining who don't have more than a certain number of kills. The list is than regenerated after the bad assassins are removed. Only necessary when playing with a large number of people.

    ====================
    Obviously, there are many possible ways to implement this idea in minecraft. The easiest would be a straightforward kill list, a survival of the fittest style game where you must kill before being killed yourself.

    More complex options could easily be added as needed/requested.
