The funny thing is, if you blockjack both assassins in a close vicinity to each other, the mission will still fail. On the stats screen, it shows that a body was discovered by an enemy. :) This is the old bug where if two guards are knocked out quickly next to each other, one will notice his friend (while unconscious) and say something like "Oh my God! They've killed him!"
It is funnier to just take one of them out. The other will keep walking back to the hideout and saying things like "Did you hear that?" even though his friend is no longer with him.

I think I've seen this bug being used in a video, once. Not sure were it is, though.

There's a video on Youtube showing how to do a speedrun of the "Undercover" mission in Thief Gold. He blockjacks a few Hammers.
Here's the video - (

I've noticed that the blocking action can make your weapons interact with the environment, most frustratingly because I have a tendency to tap my middle mouse button which is keyed to the block function. Therefore when I am hiding from the guards, I unconsciously tap the mouse, and my blackjack hits the metal door and calls the guards my way. So darn frustrating.
But I didn't know that you could spin while swinging your sword to deal extra damage. That's awesome. Makes me wonder if you can do more damage while doing the run+jump bug to go super fast.

I think this is true in System Shock II. I swear if I run at a hybrid and wrench him it does more damage than if I am standing still...

I did a video of the exploit. You only need to KO the rear assassin and just let the other one go on his merry way.
