    So, what have you tried to tell us ?

    PS It's ranger capturing Sam.

    I think she tries to tell that can be the new assassination image and maybe the video can be removed.

    Yeah i know. I just think it would be good for the image that appears after a sucessful assassination. Or maybe a retinue for diplomats like "swordtip diplomat".

    Good idea, maybe add a bit of blood, realistically though. Or cartoony in a good way, (thinking TF2 not Looney Tunes).

    Not good enough for me. Too much going on and a bad depiction of assasination. How often do hobbits get assasinate, save getting involved in world affairs!

    I dunno, from that particular shot you can't really tell it's a hobbit. Since you can't see his face, you certainly can't tell it's a famous hobbit. What it does show is a nice shot of a sword going into someone's neck, which is usually ideal if you want to assassinate that person. I think it's pretty good. If it were in some dimly lit area, like an inn or a dark alley, of course, it'd be ideal. But it's still good.

    Well M2 images as well as TA are relatively generic. Saruman shows up on good campaigns and good guys appear in images in evil campaigns.

    This movie clip would be great for failed (evil) assassination but with some editing. The part I'm talking about is from 4:25 to 5:35 but the shots of the "fellowship" would need to be cut out.

    Basically the vid should consist of the Wraiths entering the room in the Prancing Pony, stabbing the beds, discovering the beds are empty, screeming/wailing, riding off on their black horses. All other shots should be cut.

    This one could work for a successful assassination (again for evil factions) 00:38 - 00:44. Orcs shoot "Isildur", his arrow filled body floats off in the river.

    The problem is I don't think such vids can be applied only to certain factions.

    As far as pics go this familiar scene could also depict a failed assassination (would need a better pic of course):

    The same movie clip could also be used, namely the part where they manage to distract the Nazgul.

    Well it's a good clip, it's far too long.

    Perhaps any images of Smeagol (as himself, not pseudo-Gollum) strangling Deagol? Just a close in shot of his hands throttling him?

    Shagrat with Sting sticking through his back in Cirith Ungol?

    Grima stabbing Saruman?

    Merry stabbing the Witch King?

    Eomer getting punched by the Kings Household troops? (As he bends over under the blow).

    I'll think of more as I remember

    Too long? 8 seconds, between 0:38-0:44? Really?

    Maybe he means the 1st one which is 4:25 - 5:35. With the cut parts it would be significantly shorter, maybe still somewhat long but definitely not longer (or even as long) than the vanilla m2tw spy/assassin vids.

    Indeed that is what I meant, assassination clips should only take 10 - 15 seconds at most in my opinion

    No, they are optional to watch so they should be looooonnnnnggggg........ and enjoyable. Otherwise they are pointless.

    I think movies are region and/or faction specific but could be wrong...

    A new assassin/spy event picture would work best if the videos were also changed.
