If you want to use that fancy and complicated database, remember that
Pentabarf has an Assassins modules. I have not even looked at it, but
it is available and can enable it if you wish.
I can only strongly encourage using penta for it, yes.
Yes, please. I have no idea how complicated it might be, but I can at

Simple. You might need to help people out when someone left DebConf
early (or isnt attending) and they have them as target, but otherwise
the module is doing *all* the work.
And, at minimum, it would help if ppl could have access to the "I want
to play the Assassins game" checkbox, and then /me get a list of
registered player beforehand.
You dont need that. The module does it, as soon as the game is open.
It assigns targets, it lets them confirm, ...
