How about I answer them now, being the best qualified?

>How do you play the game?

>Where did you decide to start up the game?
I, personally, first started the original assassin game by myself because I figured it'd be a fun little event. After my first game happened, I realised I needed to expand it due to popularity, so I hired another 6 posters to help me out.
>How did you decide to start it up?
I decided it in my head, just because of fun. When I decided to expand it, I held a somewhat open invitation in the original thread.
>Why attack with shovels?
Ah, now THIS is a story I've told a few times.
A poster called Axel posted a thread called 'Why did you throw that stick at me?' so I responded 'Damnit, my shovel missed then!' because random. I decided to try attack him again, but rather than just do it by telling him, I decided to turn it into something he could respond to to block it. So I posted an edited image of Applejack throwing a shovel, and gave him 50 posts to respond to it (this was when /oat/ was in it's haydays). I can't remember whether he won or lost, but I started going around and doing it to other people in other threads at random. Then I decided to turn it into an organised event. The rest, as they say, is history.
>Who are the assassins assassinating? Each other? Other ponies?
Just the posters that sign up to the game threads, pony or not. They argue, but they don't kill each other.
>Why are they assassinating whoever?

>Why do they have red eyes/features? Does that represent their intent to assassinate? Is it just to distinguish them from normal pictures of ponies?
Originally it was just that - to make them look evil and distinguish them from the actual mane cast. Over time this developed into an actual story. (see above response)
>Have they been possessed by some malevolent spirits hell bent on assassinating something?
Read the above story XD But no, they aren't possessed, they were created out of soul fragments from the mane cast by Bafflejack (who was, originally, just me going around posting Applejack, but he turned into a unique, individual character once the group games got started).
>Assassination indicates a high value target. Why is this assassination and not murder?
Assassination is not necessarily high value target, but the planned and well executed death of a person. In any case, Assassination sounds cooler for the game thread (even though Massively Multipony Mass Murder would be kinda cool too, but the title is already established.
>Is there communication elsewhere other than on the board?
When we're running games, yes, we do have to co-ordinate ourselves and get everything to run properly, especially me - I have to ensure this all stays organised. We usually go to a separate free-to-create chatroom, however I do regularly talk to a few of the assassins via skype because we were friends beforehand anyway.
