Too right!!!  I would not only attend, but would be more than willing to help run it.  We had great fun with similar events years ago in 
Meridies and, as long as only those who want to play are "victims", there is really no problem.

BTW, a lot of the hostility towards assassination games in some parts of the Society comes from some really serious assassination games in 
them thar A kingdoms years ago where the stakes were actually your persona.  In other words, if you were killed your persona was (at least 
in theory) dead, and you started over with a new one.  There were some people of quite high rank who engaged in this in Atenveldt and 
Ansteorra and it inevitably took on some serious political overtones.  (Psigh. . .)
