Forum Post of the Day: Assassination nation

I love what Kre's doing on the forums: he's calling for NPC assassination targets. And he's not all talk -- when he gets asked to take a target out, whether it be Katrina Prestor herself or the Ironforge bread vendor (who will not... shut... up!), he and his assassination crew get the job done.My choice for a kill has already been done (Die, Fandral Staghelm!), but there are all kinds of great requests in the thread -- unfortunately, due to the code of the assassin, Kre can't kill the little kid who stole that dolly in Stormwind, as children are not viable targets. But even Drysc has been sent to meet his maker by these guys. Hilarious. If an NPC has been giving you trouble lately, they'll make sure there are no more problems, if you know what we mean.
Not all the war in Warcraft can be fought on the battlefield -- some of it has to be fought in the back alleys and in the shadows. Glad to see that Kre and his crew (Aelas has pulled off some excellent kills here, too) are going a little guerilla in the constant fight against NPCs.

This is a great idea, I love "silencing" annoying NPC's. But it's also enjoyable to add Npcs (Archmage Vargoth) to random enemy areas for some attention.

It is time to stop the ever escalating war with the fruit vendor in Shat. For the sake of all members of the Horde waiting for BG's this war must end with one of them having an "accident".

This is one of those "I wish I'd thought of that" moments.

LOL Drysc killed in Exodar
As a Scryer rogue I liked going in Aldor rise with other rogues and saping the High Priestess and other guards or Aldor NPCs, especially when people were around to deliver quests etc :))
It was funny to interupt the Priestess' speech with a thud -> sap! lol

Aww, poor roach guy.
He always seemed really sad and lonely to me with his little roachy friends.

I felt so bad I had to buy a roach from him - Wasn't I suprised when it was just a bug...

He actually seems pretty content to me...
That's part of what is probably one of my favorite quest chains, if only because I loved giving a cockroach vendor and a confused ghost closure.

Ha! Very, very cool. Just wish I had a high leveled Rogue so I could do the same.

Cro Threadsong needs it bad.

The Cockroach Vendor wiped an Alliance counter-attack on my server *sigh* They killed him, but the actual defense was waiting in the Dark Lady's room. They never saw the Alliance.
I like assassinating things :) I can down the Stormwind Flight Master easy and live, but let's face it...the Alliance on my server don't seem to care. I can kill him 6 times in 15 minutes and they still won't kill me. In fact, I've killed random mobs and sometimes players in SW about 20 seperate times, and I've only died 3 times. Two at the start of my adventures, and once on the Deeprun Tram cause I /poked a Paladin on my way past and they attacked. Oh, and another time cause I stood on the foot of a Warlock I had just dueled outside SW to let him know where I was. Traitor.

This is the greatest thread of all time!!! I love it!!! Now we just need to setup an assassin guild on each server where we can higher assassins to kill actaul toons. Some toon that has just kept killing you and you just cant kill em, fins the assassins, and put a hit out... Someone of the same faction ninjad and item you needed, call the assasins.... come on know how great would that be!!!
