Seeing as there are 21 Hallowe'en Masks and it would be more work to change all those names, I thought it would be easier to change the name of the 'Assassin's Mask' to something else (How about 'Porcelain Mask' SMILEY or more likely 'Assassin's Facemask'SMILEY this would in turn prevent confusion between the two items and also prevent people exploiting this similarity.

(Keep this civil)

I'm fine with that, as long as there is a strong distinction between the two and no confusion can be caused.  But to keep the 21 Hallowe'en masks similar, all the other should have 'Hallowe'en' entered in the middle too, so they all match.

Changing the Halloween version to the "Halloween Assassin Mask" sounds a winner, anyway im sure that tourney was a one off waste of devs time imo

I have to agree with Endo, In normal situations those who have the masks know that they have them and will be able to tell the difference (aren't the icons different too?) those who don't are unlikely to see an assassin mask on the market. It's like recycling or selling items, if you pay attention to what you are buying/selling/recycling/trading then you won't have any problems, although I guess the people who may have this problem are newbies who don't know any better...

In situations as recently seen... I guess a name change would be appropriate...

If you read the thread it showed every single detail about the Assassin's Mask.

Yes, I'm sure it did, quite unnecessarily so if the winner was to win the Assassin Mask. The only reason why the details on the Assassin's Mask was in there was to encourage people to take part and to enforce the illusion of what was on offer. Yes there is the highly important "'s" in the name but people do tend to make spelling/grammar mistakes on the forums.

That was a lesson to everyone about checking the fine print and a good example of how to *CENSORED* off a big section of the games player base.

Maybe people should just read more carefully.

I don't think it should be changed to accommodate those who lack the time to read things properly.

People should read between the lines, however posting images of the Assassin's Mask IS false advertisement since you obviously had no intent on giving it up.

I could really care less about these mask's. However, I CAN appreciate the plot and situation at hand -- it's not fair to trick people out of such !Info. If it had happened to you, you would be acting the same way, feeling taken advantage of and wanting something to do about it. You can sit there and reply No, I would Lulz and say GF blah blah, the truth is you would be pissed.

In the end, the !Info should be given back to the player's since this was a CLEAR case of fasle advertisement.

here here, to Assassin Halloween Mask.

Clearly, people cannot tell the difference between the Assassin Mask and the Assassin's Mask. Therefore, I propose we change the Assassin Mask to the Assassin's Mask and the Assassin's Mask to the Assassin Mask so that people can tell them apart.
