Glove Wars

The wildest and wooliest, bloody fingerless glove extreme knitting tournament in the world.

Sign-up, and you will receive a top-secret file containing your target's information. To "kill" your target, you must follow the pattern to make a weapon (a pair of fingerless gloves), and mail it to your target. Your target is "dead" when they receive your weapon. Your target then sends their incomplete weapon to you, along with their target's information, and you complete their weapon to kill their target. At the same time you are trying to kill your target, your assassin is trying to kill you. Join us and find out how exciting a trip to the mailbox can be as you open it each day to find out if you have killed, or whether you have been killed.

Deadline to register for Glove Wars is August 14, 2009
There is a $3 fee to register.
