This kind of stuff disturbs me.
I know it's just a game and all in fun, but I think it's creepy.
An intricately planned version of hide-and-seek, [StreetWars] uses the city landscape as the “playing field”; basically, you’re not “safe” anywhere. Players sign up at the StreetWars website; they then receive a packet containing the name, contact information, home and work addresses, and a photo of their intended target. The mission: to “assassinate” them with a water gun, and ultimately, to be the last dry person standing. Players are cutthroat: we know one who thought she was going on a job interview at a movie studio only to get to the lot and be “killed” by her “assassin”.
The game has already been mentioned on CSI: NY, and the game’s co-founder is reportedly in talks about a StreetWars reality show. With people craving childlike games and a little “danger” in their lives, this safe form of fear could be a mass hit. (Trendcentral - 3.27.06)
