StreetWars players stalk with squirt guns

LOS ANGELES, March 13 (UPI) -- A large-scale combination of "Hide and Seek" and murder is being played on the streets of major U.S. cities with water pistols.

"StreetWars: Killer" allows grownups to play out fantasies of being assassins, the Los Angeles Times says. The game began in New York, where Mayor Michael Bloomberg said that one of the founders, Franz Aliquo, "could use some psychiatric help."

Unlike paintball and other war games, "StreetWars" is played on real streets. Combatants are encouraged to use ingenuity -- including designing squirt guns that can be hidden. But they are supposed to stay within the law and opponents' workplaces and bars are truce areas.

For an upcoming game in Los Angeles, participants pay $35 and provide basic information, including their address and a photo. They get a card with their target. The game goes on until only one person survives.

Critics like Nancy Ruhe of the Parents of Murdered Children says "StreetWars" makes a game of tragedy. Others suggest that participants are unwise to reveal details of their life to strangers who could turn out to be real-life bad guys.</blockquote>

Sounds fun to meh...

Ridiculously retarded on a whole nother level.

If all of this was controlled by a central body who did background checks and what not - then sure. . .I'd not mind giving up my address (I dont know why they have to do that honestly) - but not just posting it on a website. . .sod all that.

Fake address. Problem solved.

....yeah, until you get the details of a real criminal and you go to the house to "assasinate" them only to find them in a paranoid mess ready to actually KILL their "attacker."

If you don't know the person, then it's just fucking stupid and you're putting yourself at risk over a stupid game.

lol yes, I was just thinking about the movie version of this and how things could take a nasty turn.

lol even if it wasn't a criminal though, if I saw a stranger acting strangely with his eye on me, I'd immediately be suspicious...and if he pulled out something that looked anything like a gun, I'd fear for my life.

....Some people will do some wild shit if they feel their life is in danger...

lmao, there has to be some funny pic for this
