Overview
You will be given the name of someone in the war that you must eliminate by getting them wet. You may get him/her wet by any, non harmful, means you choose – squirt gun, water balloon, hose, cup of water, etc. Elimination means that you are out of the game. When you eliminate your target, he/she must give you the name of his/her target and that person becomes your next target. When you eliminate your target, you will get credit for all of that person’s eliminations. At the Ward Party on August 23rd, a prize will be given for the last player standing or the player with the most eliminations if not all players are eliminated. The game will start on August 4th at 12:00 AM and end August 23rd at 12:00 AM.

There I was pushing the stroller home from picking plums and the Sills wanted to chat. I looked around but didn’t see anyone suspicious and I suspected the Sills were not participating in the 12th War. After a while I noticed the Hill kids coming down the street…one with a water bottle in hand. What was I to do? If I ran the Sills might feel bad that I left so abruptly. On the other hand little Jenna Hill might have felt bad that she was unable to capture her target when I was out in plane sight. Travis Hill had a bottle of root beer which I suspected was a bribe to let them squirt me with water. In an effort to make the moment fun I thought about grabbing sister Sills hose which she was using to water her plants at the time, drench the kids, then walk away with the root beer in hand unscathed…but I had second thoughts. I ended up doing a little two-step dance move I learned in college to dodge the tiny stream of water squirting out of the bottle about 3 feet. After about 20 seconds of that I couldn’t take any more and let Jenna the sniper take me down. They did give me the root beer though which was very kind of them. I worn you all to watch out for the innocent looking children or those bearing gifts…it may all be a facade to take all the glory!

Apparently you don’t have the killer instincts that it takes to win the prize, Dan. But that was very magnanimous of you.
