Poison Rules

Since this has come up a couple of times, I'll clarify poison rules:

Contact poisons, in order to be lethal, must cover aabout the area equivelant to 2 fingers. Huh? As in, if you coat a dude's coffee cup's inside handle, that ain't gonna fly, it'll never transfer. Cover the side of a coffee can, so that when he picks it up 3 of his fingers are pretty covered, then yeah, he's fuckin' dead.

Life savers dropped into drinks work, as long as no one sees you. Note: This is a great way to get arrested or beaten to shit at a bar.

I'm not the biggest fan of contact poisons, I'd say it'd take a really, really clever use of them for me not to say "Laaame". In fact, best text me the way you're going to do it first.

Comments? Suggestions?

"Device" updates

Since leaving boxes around that say "Bomb" would be a bad thing, bombs must be designated with bright green tape, at least 2 inches visible, or the words (very easy to read) "Storage Solution".

Calling in a kill or a death

We're on the honor system 'round these parts. If you're in your house and you get what looks like a package from Amazon.com, you open it and hear a "THUNK" or electronic buzzer or whatever (You'd better not be that easy to kill), you're effin' dead. Text me, email me, email my phone, whatever. Let me know you're dead, I'll contact your killer. Be sure to give me a time, place, method to be sure.

If you kill a guy, again, text me, email me if you can. Again, give me the time/place/details. If you watched your dude drive off with a big bomb in/on his car and it's "Gone off", you may not be able to let the guy know he's dead. Especially if you don't know who he is, what his phone number is.
Get me the info, I'll let the dude know he's dead. He can contest it, but if it's been, oh, 8 hours since I attempted to contact him, he's presumed dead and I give his killer the new target. It shouldn't take that long, and I don't foresee there being any real contesting of kills.
This shouldn't be a big deal, you guys get text messages/email pretty regularly.

Speaking of, since I do have a job, it may take me a bit to respond to text messages, but my longest delay should be less than 4 hours. That's max. Same goes for email, but if I'm sleeping I'm more likely to hear the phone than the new email noise. I'll be sure to always have the phone.

You'll want to note these down:

Update on the camera kill rules

The camera kill, or "I take a picture of you instead of using a scope'd rifle" rules are as follows:

There can only be one person in the shot. (Should cropping be legal, guys? As long as the other parameters are met, I mean)
You must have the entire torso or the whole head of the target in the shot as well.
I had better be able to recognize the guy.

There must be an indicator of time in the shot as well. This means a clock, a calender, a newspaper stand, etc. This isn't just about verifying time of death (making sure you didn't kill the guy during a no kill period or whatever, we're on the honor system here) it's about making a tremendously powerful attack more reasonable. I could have said "A cat must be in the picture" but indicators of time make more sense. Note: The watch the dude may be wearing does not count.

"How the hell am I going to pull that off?" you say. Well you could wait for them to stand near one of these objects, or you could go and attach a clock to their car or outside of their house, something ridiculous like that.

Bombs

I was considering the bomb related rules, and what do you guys think of requiring a mechanical component to any bomb? I'm not saying they all have to have, say, gears or whatever. I'm saying that you shouldn't just be able to go up to a target's car, stick a magnet on it, hope he doesn't check and call it a day.
Now, if you attached a magnet with a box to his car, and when he attempts to drive away a cord you attached to the ground pulls a pin out of the box or some such, now that works.
Another example, say for whatever reason you have access to a dude's house (Remember no breaking and entering). Just putting a note that says "BOMB" over his light switch is foolish. Hooking a noisy tape recorder or something to the outlet that is controlled by the light switch by the door, that's swell.

Another example, you can't just leave a box next to a guy's door, and so when he comes out he's "dead". A trip line (it'd better not actually trip him) or a motion detector, whatever. To avoid accusations of cheating or being unfair, might want to give the guy a bit of visibility on the bomb before the detonation step. I.E. the rope that is pulling the pin out of the bomb that is attached to the door allows the door to open at least 2 inches before HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Feel free to debate this.

Here's a couple of ideas from the book:
