    Does an imaginative assassin specialise in surprise endings?

    the surprise is on the assassinated, so yes! I d prefer to think of an assassin marketing themselves as meticulous rather than imaginative!

      Oh, I dunno. There are some people for whom a "normal" exit just wouldn't be enough! :laugh: The Imaginative Assassin could probably charge a premium for "special" jobs.

                With a meticulous assassin, you get "the victim is history". With an imaginative assassin, it's "the victim is geography". :laugh:

                      I guess if I m hiring an assassin I more concerned with the end result and a lack of breadcrumbs back to thyself; so meticulous appeals more to me! If the result is utter revenge I see imaginative as an ideal quality! I guess 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'.

                                      Oh, I dunno. There are some people for whom a "normal" exit just wouldn't be enough! :laugh: The Imaginative Assassin could probably charge a premium for "special" jobs.

                                        I'd slide McAfee and Symantec in near the top of that...and the f'tards that write RansomWare.

                                          Good candidates as well. Symantec and InstallShield deserve extra attention for taking once great product lines and making them suck so hard they have an event horizon.
