One account of the scene at Saddle back on the fifth of May (this one of the murder of Kristen S aka “The Killinator”):
The night started off safely enough, out to dinner at a Japanese place in the company of trusted friends (including the now also deceased Greg H, aka “whitman") and equipped with a stealthily disguised weapon, home-made and concealed in an old McDonalds bag. The food was good and the drink was sake.
At first there had been plans to avoid the Saddle, in spite of its somewhat renowned revelry on the fifth of every month, _especially_ on the fifth of May. Such a large and varied crowd would surely draw a large group of ready killers, after all.
However as the meal continued so too did the flow of that delicious Japanese rice wine. It should come as no surprise that so too did concern about getting shot diminish.
The group departed for the Saddle, but having not yet completely lost their sense of self-preservation, did briefly scout the courtyard for obvious signs of carried water cannons before entering. Their fears allayed by the brief survey from afar, they made their way first to and then through the courtyard of the Saddle.
Soon after, it was over. In the hot Beijing night, the splash of water was at first refreshing, but quickly that relief was replaced with the cold realization that she’d been shot. She turned to see her assailant standing victorious, if only for a moment, since minutes, maybe even seconds, later Mellissa A, aka “Ender” was cut down with the abandoned weapon of “The Killinator”.
“Art Vandalay” emerged from this sequence of kills alive, and as I later heard, also witnessed some of the other kills that night. I imagine those to have happened under similar circumstances, not yet having had any details provided by witnesses or participants.
The other deaths, all in Sanlitun if not the Saddle itself:
Hernan L aka “El Columbiano” being killed by “Martin Q. Blank”
Carey N aka “Martin Q. Blank” being killed by “Melosa”
Greg H aka “whitman" killed by “Augustus”
Cassie W aka “The Other Woman” killed by “Smith”

Death Report: Gavrilo Princip
Last night, Matt R aka “Gavrilo Princip” was betrayed and killed.
Orchestrated by “The Other Woman”, Matt’s roommate and one additional (former?) friend conspired to lure him away from the safety of his home.
On the evening of May 4, 2009, Matt’s roommate called to say that she’d left her keys and needed to be let into their house. This seemed innocent enough and so Matt politely agreed. This was quickly turned around when his roommate invited him to go grab a drink nearby first. Not yet suspicious about his looming demise, he accepted the invitation.
Shortly thereafter, Matt’s roommate contacted him again to ask if he was still coming. In retrospect, this might have tipped him off but alas he continued unaware towards his death.
He arrived at the nearby bar to find his roommate and two other people waiting. Knowing immediately that there were other players present he demanded that all guns be taken out and placed on the table before he’d join.
The more cautious player would have walked out before even getting that far, but not Matt. He continued either undeterred by or unaware of his peril.
His intent was to pick up the gun on the table, thinking it would afford him some modicum of safety but “The Other Woman” realized this and was upon their weapon too fast.
Matt had turned to flee and was moving for the door as “The Other Woman” opened fire from across the room.
At first he thought he had made it out dry, and consequently alive. After running a safe distance away, he stopped to check and discovered there were a few water marks on him. They were faint, maybe it was only a glancing shot, maybe they had faded during his flight, but they were marks nonetheless.
And so was ended the brief life of “Gavrilo Princip”, whose time in this game was too short to do justice to the name.
A roommate relationship ruined? With his trust betrayed, Matt never did end up getting those keys to his betrayer.
