Yep, 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.
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?
Is it like those people trying to get some rewards by tricking me into clicking their v14grA thing? or like phishing?
Are you trying to destroy the reputation of bit.ly with this?
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,...
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.
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.
