This year we're playing by Double McStab with Cheese rules:
• Single country vacation this time. I leave tomorrow Dec-22. I return Dec-30.
• Clues will be a mix of Assassin's Creed and Real Life (scary, I know).
• I don't know how many clues there will be, but there will be about 1 per day (so about 7 or so).
• Clues not tied to a single answer, but will narrow down all the answers for you.
• First person to correctly identify any of the below gets 3 points. Any other correct answer at any point gets 2 points.
• You can change answers to any question at any time.
• If you had the correct answer and change to the incorrect answer, you get 0 points. Only your most recent answer counts.
• Send all answers to me in a private message. Timestamp will be used to assign the points.
• Final score tiebreaker will be most correct answers. (so someone with straight 2s can beat someone with two 3s and a missing answer). If there is still a tie, the winner will be the first person to correctly answer question 4.
• EVERYONE who plays will get a [-]cheap[/-] souvenir from my vacation. The winner will get something more.
• I'm going on a multi-country 2 week vacation (Aug 15 - Aug 28).
• I will have limited internet access on the trip (about 1 hour a day) to post clues.
It can be from any Assassin's Creed product ever made.
Formal Rules Courtesy of Double McStab with Cheese:
- Only one thing in your post. Bold it for ease of finding.
- Two people have to post something new before you can post a new thing.
- Conversation welcome on others' choices.
- You can "+1" comment someone else's choice (or "-1" if you're a dick).

The way Altair's sword or short blade would bounce off the enemy's "guard," in a choppy, satisfying manner in AC1.
Would anyone be interested in figuring out where I'm going on vacation this weekend through a series of clues?
It won't be as over-complicated as I made it last time!
(cheap) souvenir to the person that gets it right first!

How goes it, fellow members of THB? I just wanted to let you know that I just got back from a ten-day trip to Italy and, in true AC-fan style, decided to do my best to scale (and by this I mean I got my feet off the ground, but not all that much higher) structures we all virtually climbed in ACII and ACB. Once I get the pictures together, I'll post them here and we can have a little contest to see who knows his or her Italian architecture/AC the best.
P.S. There was one structure that I took a different route up than Ezio, but feel relatively confident I could have gotten near the top.
Final Round. This will likely be the only clue.
Stabguy has driven about 335 km to his next destination.
+300 points for making a guess.
-1 point (negative!) for each km of driving distance between your answer and the correct answer.
+150 points for the correct answer.
+100 points for the first correct answer.
