It has to be a troll though, right? The “member of the group” that claims to have been assassins is just screwing with some idiot news rep who didn’t bother looking up the game in question. Right?

No, they “played assassins”. It was literally just an Among Us discord group of college buddies during the pandemic lockdown. Like 90% of the nation’s youth played assassins lolol

You don't "Play Assassins" in Among Us, though. That's the point they're making.

You mean the game where the entire point is to either be the person assassinating people or avoiding being assassinated?

No, there’s a school game that was popular a couple years ago of kids who would get in teams, each be given a classmate as a target, and they would try to eliminate all of their targets without everyone in their group being eliminated. Rounds literally were meant to last months.

It was a huge thing for a while and got some people actually fucking killed because it turns out following people while brandishing gun-like objects can cause some people to be trigger happy.

No, I mean the game where social deduction is the most important skill in between rounds where a player, playing a monster, kills people.

Assassination means something very specific, and it isn't random killing. You're using that term specifically to make someone look worse than they are.

if it doesn't take place in the Assassín region of France, it's just sparkling murder
