Show HN: Sleepwiththefish.es "kill" your friends on Twitter
- dfischer 15y agoI don't want to type in my credentials without looking at an example of what this actually does. :(
- bemmu 15y agoIt 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.
- po 15y agoIt looks to be an online version of the real-life game Assassin but with bitly links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin_(game) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin_(game)
- nametoremember 15y agoYep, but in this online version you can easily just not click the links. If you know your friend is playing (and I assume only those that sign up can play) then you can just not click the links to avoid dying. In the real life version, you have no choice. You are being hunted.
- jsavimbi 15y agoHow does this work?
- bemmu 15y agoIf this is built in a week, where are the illustrations from?

- jonmarkgo 15y agoGreat 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,...
- drivebyacct2 15y agoI 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.
- alexgodin 15y agoHi everyone I am submitting a new change with an improved description of how the game works.
- spatten 15y agoThe 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. http://imgur.com/xNWb6 http://imgur.com/xNWb6
- damncabbage 15y agoSame in Firefox 3.6 on Linux.
- reemrevnivek 15y agoSame 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.
- tled 15y agoIs there any game like this for facebook? I don't use twitter much.
- alexgodin 15y agoMaybe in V 2.0 for now it's twitter only
- floatingatoll 15y agoHow 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.
- corin_ 15y agoMaybe 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?
- Luyt 15y agoThat's interesting. I used to use that slogan on my WoW forum banner. http://www.michielovertoom.com/pictures/wow-luytbanner2.jpg http://www.michielovertoom.com/pictures/wow-luytbanner2.jpg
- dusklight 15y agoi 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.
