Let's Save the World...with KickBall?
Wednesday, June 30, 2004
Wow, good thing Franz posted that promised kickball blog later on that day, I was getting tired of holding my breath. I played a game similar to Killers in High School; it left me damp from a perpetually leaky water gun, and pinched from an angry teacher. PINCHED I SAY, IN PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL!!!
While I think this urban-stalker-game is a great idea I'll probably pass, I pretty much know where my survival/combat/gaming skills stand thanks to what has strangely become my father's primary occupation over the last twenty years. That and there's already enough stress and paranoia in my life. I am looking forward to partaking in other StreetWars, the possibilities are endless.
I think our league is a great combination of schoolyard athletics and adult art-project(s). Extra curricular excursions like Killer and the July 5th anti-Bush fundraiser should be embraced by us. Is anyone going to say kickball hasn't yielded a cool community? As such, sending Brooklyn Kickball delegates into the world; to represent at other kickball leagues, to throw kickball parties at clubs and bars accross the vast city (and as close as the Mark Bar), and to go off trying to assasinate one another with squirt guns, this is all seems like A Really Good Thing. My one word of caution is to just be careful out in the big city with gun-looking devices, even water pistols, its a scary world already and cops can get the wrong idea fast.
Hopefully, I'll have a car for the July 5th fundraiser and if anyone would like a ride and can get to Greenpoint/Williamsburg I'll try to oblige.

As it's for a really good cause, and there is no Kickball on this Sunday, July 4th, come play Monday, In Prosepct Park, from 12-3, for the....
$25 dollars in the SUGGESTED Donation. But as I asked for only $1 last Sunday and received a measly $33 from you cheap fucks, they should make it mandatory.
I hope everyone can go and represent, and most of us will be off on Monday, so let's do this thang. If teams show up, then the games are "official." I'll proudly be helping Amy in some capacity that day, because I know I want Bush the fuck out. So I'm willing to transcend any jealous competitiveness.
Going to the Parks Department today, I'll chime in tonight and let everyone know how it went. Any sluts want to come with?

And so it begins...
If someone put a hit on you, that you knew about, would you be slick and quick witted enough to survive? I mean, you never know who yer gonna piss off in life and how they're going to try to get back at you...so consider this practice for possible future events...
STREETWARS GAME 1 - KILLER -
KILLER
A round-robin, all city, 24/7 assassination tournament.
At the start of the game you will receive a manila envelope containing the following:
A picture of your intended target
The home address of your intended target
The work address of your intended target
The name of your intended target
Upon receipt of these items, your mission is to find and kill (by way of water gun, water balloon or super soaker) your target. You can hunt your target down any way you see fit; you can pose as a delivery person and jack them when they open the door, disguise yourself and take them out on the street, wait for them near Mcarren Park on Sunday, etc. If you are successful in your assassination attempt, the person you killed will give you their envelope and the person they were supposed to kill becomes your new target. This continues until you work yourself through all the players and retrieve the envelope with your picture and name in it. Then you win. Cash…but first live in fear.
Entry Fee: $6
To enter, email streetwars04@yahoo.com the following information:
Name
Home Address
Work Address
A Picture of yourself with (at least) your face clearly visible
Contact Information
A gang representative will contact you shortly thereafter.
RULES
Safe Zones:
1 block radius from work
Inside subway cars
Inside buses
Inside bars (not restaurants with bars, ONLY bars)
Inside the boundaries of Mcarren Park, on Sundays.
Weapons:
Water gun handguns
Water balloons
Super Soakers
Kills:
1 hit kills. Regardless of where you are hit, if you are wet, you are dead
If you are hit with a water balloon and it does NOT break, it is NOT a kill. If the balloon does NOT hit you, but you are hit with water from the balloon, you are dead
If the Killee hits the Killer BEFORE they are hit, the Killer is barred from another assassination attempt for 24 hours
You MUST make AT LEAST 1 assassination attempt per week. If you do not, you will be marked as Killed and disqualified
ALL KILLS MUST BE REPORTED within 1 hour of the kill. To report kills, either dial 917.331.3753 or email streetwars04@yahoo.com with the kill information and your new target.
Teaming Up:
If you have the balls to trust others and want to team up on hits, it IS allowed, BUT ONLY A HIT FROM THE KILLER SHALL COUNT AS A KILL. Other hits DO NOT count, they may be a fine way to distract the Killee while the actual Killer gets their shot in however…
NO TRUCES. If you have someone else’s card, you MUST attempt to kill them. If a truce is discovered, you will both be disqualified (marked as Killed) AND your team will be penalized.
Disputes:
If ANY dispute turns physical, you will both be marked as Killed AND your team will be penalized.
If you cannot settle a “who got hit first” dispute by yourselves, you can call 917.331.3753 or email streetwars04@yahoo.com and arrange a same day SW hearing. In that hearing a panel of 3 will decide your case – their decisions are final and indisputable. Regardless of your position (Killer or Killee), the loser of the hearing will be marked as KILLED and will have to pay a $10 penalty fee (fee to be added to the winner’s pot).
Winning:
The game will continue until there is 1 person left standing
If the game continues for 3 weeks with no winner, a sudden death tournament will be organized with the remaining players.
Prizes:
Cash prizes will be awarded in the following categories:
Last Man Standing
Most Kills
