I've been playing Assassin's Creed.
-----
In an obscure Island, far from any recorded history and just a footnote to the history books of conquest, Farthen hold four cities(Duren, Hearth, Catre, and Ire) withing a half a day's ride from each. Not acknowledged by many people, three secret Strongholds lie in the more... obscure... regions of the Farthenlands, housing the three Assassin's guilds. The guild of the Owl, built on peace by blood. The guild of the Eagle, built on peace by justice, and the guild of the Hawk, built on peace by strength. But they all follow the same creed, and all show their ideals the same way. By the death of the guilty.
Each guild is at odds with the other, rarely striking truces to take down a common enemy, so there's competition. Every time there's a mission for someone to carry out. there's at least another guild with a man on the same mission, trying to beat you too the target. The guild will send out a two to three members on each assassination, and each will be given an Eagle's feather, a Hawks feather, or an Owl's feather. If the members sent to get the kill do not return to their Bureau with a blood-whetted feather, they are punished. If you do, however, you gain a rank and a piece of equipment.
-----
If you've played a Assassin's Creed, you'll understand how this works, because both the Assassin's guild there and the Assassin's guild here work alike. You get a job, you go to the bureau, get the feather, kill the man, return the feather, gain rank, wash, rinse, repeat. The only difference is, there's competition. You have to get to the target before the others. How do you get to the target? Interrogation, pickpocketing, informer assassinations, and eaves dropping. There's a requirement of 3 of these for th bureau to give you the mission, and only 8 of these to chance per mission. That means whoever gets to the informers first, wins the kill and the rank. The losers? Punishment, in the form of beatings, ranks getting stripped, and spite.
-----
This is the topic that will give each guild member the mission. There'll be one topic per guild on each mission. If someone from Owl and someone from Eagle are on the same mission, they're both in different topics in the Random Encounters forum. If they come near each other, say, within each others view, I'll put something in each topic, stating whether or not they're seen. If yes, the members can either turn and fight, or ignore them. If you ignore them, you'll likely get assassinated, or maybe they haven't actually seen you. If you turn to fight, and they, as in the other guild, don't see you? You can try to assassinate them, or just fight. if you fight, one guild will go into the other guild's topic, and roll play it out there.
Once someone gets three informants finished, which you will learn of in the Bureau, and you get the feather and reach the target's area, I'll make another topic in Random Encounters, and that will be the scene of assassination. If your guild gets there first, finish the target, and get out of town. If you're still in the works of assassinating the man(or woman) and another guild arrives, they'll end up ruining your plan or taking your kill, so get out quick.
If you have any questions at all, feel free to PM.

Things I should mention: You will only roll play around guards during informer missions and the final assassination, and on your way to the Bureau. If you die, make a new character or suck it up and find another RP. If you can't get any missions, expect more severe thrashings when you come home a failure. Eventually you'll loose your sword. No matter who you are, you absolutely hate the other two guilds, but at times you may choose to speak with them. Use OOC in your topics, or something, not here though. If you have questions, PM me to the max.
