I don't want to type in my credentials without looking at an example of what this actually does. :(

It seems to involve "killing" other twitter users by sending them certain tweets or defending you from kills by guessing who is trying to kill you.

The layout of the site is a little messed up for me (Chrome on OS X). See the bottom where the "built in a week" text is over top of the description.

Same in FF4 on Windows. Additionally, "We" in "Welcome" and "We've" in "We've got a job" are behind the bearded dude with the briefcase.

If this is built in a week, where are the illustrations from?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but from reading the brief description, my initial thought is this: surely, once I had signed up, I would either avoid clicking bit.ly links, or always add a + to the links, to avoid being "killed". Am I missing something?

How do I opt out? I don't want users who send me these links to receive any sort of reward in-game when I click them.
[+] alexgodin|15 years ago|reply
That's the point of the game. They have to trick you in to clicking on the links.

Great game, though there's a weird bug where when you die you don't get a new target, so 2 people end up with the same target and identical bit.ly links,...
[+] evan_|15 years ago|reply
if it's staying true to the real game, when you die you're out and the person who killed you takes your target.
[+] dusklight|15 years ago|reply
i would suggest replacing the word "killing" with something a bit funnier and less likely to be taken out of context. eg "boffing", "thwacking", "clowning", in the best case you come up with something trade-markable that suggests what the word means from the sound alone.

Hi everyone I am submitting a new change with an improved description of how the game works.

Is there any game like this for facebook? I don't use twitter much.
[+] alexgodin|15 years ago|reply
Maybe in V 2.0 for now it's twitter only

I don't know what this game is or how this is going to use my Twitter account. My only options are to grant access to Twitter or "Get back to work! There's nothing to see here.". Guess which one I chose...

I understand the attempt at humor in the auth_failed error message, but it's unhelpful for users and could seem rude.
