The ideal killing round is an odd mix of dirty tricks, flamboyance and good sportsmanship. The following are some of the things that fall into the last two catagories.

Dead Men Tell No Lies

If you are killed you must identify yourself truthfully to your Assassin (a good death scream and some squirming around on the floor is not inappropriate either). This stricture applies even if the kill turns out to be a void kill.

Dead Men Tell No Tales

It is poor form to reveal the identity of the assassin who killed you or to talk about the size of their waterpistol.

Die With Your Boots On

Be honest and accept death gracefully. This is only a game, anyone taking it seriously will be executed or promoted onto the Politburo (and they don't get to have any fun at all).

Style Over Substance

One flamboyant kill with a carefully positioned refrigerator will add more to your reputation and chances of being elevated to the status of `Master Assassin' than ten boring backstabs with a chuck of yellow foam rubber.

Bribes

The standard bribe to Q to find out a piece of information, or to ensure someone's silence, is the traditional chocolate fish. Any bribe greater than a can of coke is considered excessive and will result in confiscation of the bribe by Q. Probably.

Mutual Death

If you kill each other at the same time (which is quite possible with waterpistols), then you are both dead. You should not fight a duel to decide who dies first.

Don't Be a Rhino

While it may improve your immediate score to ignore hits scored on you by other players, word soon gets round about people who don't play according to the spirit of the rules. Such people will find themselves subject to the ire of Q or the secret police.
