KILLER, EASTER 1993: HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE MAIL
Entries preceded with ">" indicate a message from the umpire to the user
concerned, those preceded with "<" one from the user to the umpire. The
entries aren't meant to form a conclusive story, but should be read in
conjunction with the news or, better, the inquest (when I get round to
it!).
Richard Fairhurst, RJF1001 (umpire, Easter 1993)
THE PRELIMINARIES
<DF10003
Oh - hell. You twisted my arm. Everybody was just going to shoot me on the
off-chance anyway. I'm in!
<ATF1000
I wanna play killer! Name: Tom Forsyth. User ID: XJOBCON. Address: Clare
Memorial Court. Alternatively, Clare Mem Court computer room, where my
camp-bed is set up. I've got an exam on the 9th, so I'll start playing
then, please.
<ATF1000
I have my eye on a vicious little pistol. You know those air-pressure ones
that you pump up beforehand? There's a keychain version - it's miniscule!
Yeah, I'll start on the 10th is what I mean. Should give me enough time
to get pissed after my exams.
>ATF1000
I know the air-pressure sort - I use one myself. Or rather, I did. I don't
think it's really on for the umpire to start shooting participants :-( !
...One of the reasons that Killer is starting on the 5th is that my last
exam is on the 4th, followed by a large ASNaC piss-up :-) ...!
<JC10007
...Can I have a decent target this time - I got Chris Carr last time and I
couldn't get near the bastard. How about a nice easy one like Nir 8-)
<JMB29
It's probably best to leave 'scores' well alone - there are so many random
variables that the outcome of any given game is pretty uncertain anyway.
For example, one of the major causes of death in the last game was being at
Trinity Hall, rather than someone shooting at you (I am of course ignoring
Duncan's bomb in this analysis.) I'd advise just sticking to honourable
mentions.
Of course, it's your funeral/ Killer game/ what's the difference? 8-)
<NL105
do you do aerobics at all?
<ATF1000
How about swords? I fancy a bit of Highlander-style slaying. Especially in
the User Area. :-)
>ATF1000
Real swords permitted. Only against members of the CS...
<JMB29
I suggest you put your CD collection in :killer:bribery
>IJW11
Playing Killer could be quite a good move: you get to shoot all those
people who've been messing up Zinque items and have a perfectly valid
excuse for doing so. Probably best to keep the location of Zinque 3
development HQ secret, though, unless you want armies of water-pistol-
equipped loonies interrupting progress...!
<IJW11
Progress? A bit unlikely, methinks...
<MAC18
Is there a file anywhere in your filespace with the names of all the people
playing killer and their user id's? If there is (with the id's all in the
same column) then could I use it to make up a killer who proggy from it -
Ive got this library that could construct it very easily if youvr got such
a file...
[Nice try Mark, but no cigar!]
<CRJ10
I wonder how they'd feel about non-students playing in the next game:- it
could be quite tricky to kill someone living in Swaffham Bulbeck. (-8
THE TARGETS
>JMAK1
Chris Carr, CC112, has been judged by the Organisation to have gone one
step too far and offended one too many people. We cannot afford to have a
dangerous lunatic like this roaming the streets of Cambridge. Eliminate.
>CC112
The Organisation has decided that Duncan Forsyth, DF10003, must be removed
as soon as possible to avoid the carnage seen all around Cambridge
University last term. You have been chosen as the best man for the job.
Your progress will be watched with interest.
>DF10003
Adam Cohen, ALC1001. We trust that you will carry out your assignment with
customary efficiency.
>ALC1001
Prince Charles has contacted the Organisation, through an intermediary
known only as "Squidgy", to protest at Mark Cheverton's outspoken and
controversial views on architecture: "It really is appalling". You are
asked to ensure that MAC18 (as he is also known) is silenced.
>MAC18
The Archimedeans are unhappy with the performance of their Secretary: he is
felt to be devoting too much time to non-mathematical activities, some of
which (last term) were suspected to be illegal. The Society cannot have
links with such a shady character. Paul Bolchover, PB10003, kill.
>PB10003
The Southern Liberation Front has asked for your help in reducing the
percentage of Northerners in Cambridge. Your first assignment is David
Walker, DJW1004.
>DJW1004
Residents of Clare College have been complaining about the cacophony heard
in the area around the room of JC10007, Jim Cameron. You are asked to solve
this problem.
>JC10007
Marc Harris, MRH22. You know the rules, you know your victim, what more is
there to say?
>MRH22
Colin Bell, CRB11, is felt to have too many Grognames. You are asked to
resolve this problem by making sure he is not around to Grogg any more.
>CRB11
The Women's-Collective-Anarcho-Spartacists-Against-The-Bomb (Cambridge
division) have made a formal complaint to the Organisation about the
outrageous behaviour of Nir Leuchter, NL105. Please ensure that he never
gets to use the Groggname "Sweet 21!".
>NL105
JMAK1 wastes too much central Zinque filespace. The Organisation has
requested that you solve this problem by removing the userID of Jon Knight
forever - as well as the persona of JMAK1. Have fun.
THE SLAUGHTER BEGINS...
<CRB11
I've just killed Nir, with a garotte, under the brown stairs near the User
Area. He turned up, logged on, we had a brief chat and then I followed him
down the stairs and garotted him. Nice and easy.
Jon Knight might be harder to kill though.
<PB10003
This evening David Walker was found dead in Angel Court, Trinity. He had a
bullet wound in his back. Estimated time of death is 7pm
I had some pens of his in my room, because he didn't want to take them to
the pub after the exams, and couldn't be bothered to take them back to his
room. He came round to get them this evening. I passed them to him through
the window, and shot him in the back with a water pistol as her walked
away. He was not very pleased, especially as he did not realise that the
game had started yet.
<JMB29
Ooops. I was almost certain I'd play. Oh well, I'm sure I can think of
something else to occupy my time.
>CRB11
I'm impressed. A couple of hours after the game started...!
As you figured, your new target is Jon Knight (JMAK1). Judging by the
last game, he probably _will_ be harder to kill than Nir. I'm sure you'll
have fun trying, though...!
>PB10003
The Organisation is most satisfied with your handling of the Walker affair.
The upper echelons of the hierarchy have assigned you a new target, in the
person of Jim Cameron, JC10007. Be warned - he may not be so easy to
eliminate: he has had more experience than Walker.
>NL105, DJW1004
The Constabulary's newly-acquired PR management company are most concerned
with allegations made a few months ago about unfair police tactics. A
strong line is likely to be taken, then, with any alleged breach of police
rules.
<DF10003
The wanted list is surprisingly bare.
>DF10003
Not for long it isn't. The Umpire has adjudicated that you are to go on it
:-)
[After he shot Jonathan Colvin for playing with an elastic band!]
<MCF14
Just a warning Richard - Mark has just advertised two commands from his
library in :KILLER:GOSSIP - they are KILLWHO and KILLWAN with the expected
results. HOWEVER - he's 'forgotten' to point out that anyone who uses them
will have their names logged.
Up to you to decide whether to warn people about this....
Matthew
(Sorry Mark!)
<CRB11
A certain Mr Roddis has just tried to hit me over the head with a cosh in
the User Area. He missed, though did brush my left ear and shoulder.
<IJW11
[After a report in the News file] Since when is Colin not a dangerous
psychopath? My hair has something different to say on that score...
<IJW11
War is hell. 8-)
>IJW11
But a fun kind of hell! :-)
<JC10007
BANG! Little tiny bits of jc10007 all over the New Museums Site! Mark
Cheverton - knew he was after me & was somewhere on the site, so I was
prowling around, and I found him. Couldn't see a big enough weapon on him
to beat my range, so of course Mr. Berserker here charges the bastard.
Whaddayaknow? Grenades. Boom Splat. Porter's going to have great fun in
the morning clearing up the mess.
Can I be a cop and go and kill Duncan? Please?
<MAC18
[This one rivals the Norse sagas in its complexity, but I thought it should
go in]
Well last night I made my first kill hehehehehe, In the dead of night
(bout half oneish to be precise). Paul was spotted online from a terminal
in the user area. Me, about to go to bed and having a last minute mail
check from my dial-up notices the blatant PB10003 logged on from Computer
Lab public console 17! Quickly I ran to the scene and logged on in the
Mond. Settling down to do info find till he moved I waited patiently, and
then he moved, quickly I ran to the building and hid in an opportune place.
I waited, and waited some more. Nothing happened - I began to think heUd
outwitted me - uncertainly I made my way to the UA. I logged on - he was
now on from Telnet - I telnetted to where he was logged on - it was the
Telnet gateway. I looked around the room - there wasnUt many people there
so I made a guess, walked up and fired.
It turns out after examining the body that he wasnt actually armed - sigh
some people will never learn. Anyway I moved fast - my next target was
jc10007 and heUd been warned. I moved to an opportune place in hiding and
waited for him to pass, he stood undecidedly just a few metres away but
then went in - I went on the chase. Confrontation happened in the doorway
at the bottom of the stairwell - I looked at his massive water pistol and
at my puny one and made a retreat. Quickly I headed for the toilets - my
last hope to fill the bombs Id been carrying. Quickly I filled them my
hands shaking and crept silently round the building. Suddenly there he was
standing at the end of the tunnel at the left side of the NMS, he charged
thinking he had advantage on range - I threw the first bomb - it missed!
then I carefully aimed and threw the second at the wall just in front of
him - the grenade exploded and the blast got him full in thestomach before
he was in range to get me. I sighed with relief realising the night was
truly over.
<DF10003
Poisoned Paul Bolchover's door handle.
Near miss with Cameron. He has staked out Clare bridge!
Looking for superior firepower now!
<DF10003
Phew!
<Sound of dripping sweat>
Couldn't find a larger weapon.
Decided to booby-trap Jim's room while he was out.
But when I went via Garret Hostel failed to see him on Clare bridge.
Thought - where least obvious place to hide.
Answer - stake out A Cohen (also at Clare).
Peered through window - no sign.
Listened at door - no sound.
Ah - time for the old contact poison, I thought.
Then if I get bored I can always take a walk.
So I went to the kitchen to prepare the poison.
I was a mite surprised to see Adam walk in with a gun!
Fortunately my reflexes were the faster.
I dropped the poison and reached for my own weapon, whilst at the same time
diving for cover.
After his first miss he dove for cover also, swinging himself behind the
same door. He poked his gun round swiftly firing at where I had been only a
moment earlier. Now crouched low, I had finally balanced my pistol & let
loose a torrent of bullets.
Adam died. A bullet passed through his brain.
He was a brave adversary & a worthy opponent.
Next, please.
<ALC1001
'E deaded me the dirty rotten swine...
I was sitting quite peacefully in my room when I caught sight of a mad
compsci-looking person walking past my window. Naturally I went outside to
investigate (armed of course - you never know WHO prowls around Clare
college these days...) and was pounced upon from behind the kitchen door. I
managed to get a shot in before I was brutally slain and my remains
splashed all over the hallway. Unfortunately the shot missed...
After being shot I enquired as to my assassin's identity and discovered
that I was only the latest in the serial run of Mr. Forsyth
>ALC1001
Bad luck. Oh well, you've got another chance to get him - this time as a
policeman :-)
THE KILLING FIELDS
>JS138
Your target is Mark Cheverton, MAC18. He has gained a fearsome knowledge of
weapons and ways to use them. The Organisation requests your help in
"disappearing" him before he may cause any more trouble. Speed is of the
essence.
>DF10003
You are asked to eradicate Puneeta Mongia (PM10000). The Organisation is
relying on the truth of reports about your accuracy and efficiency.
Progress is expected to be quick.
>PM10000
Your target is Stephen Mawhinney, SJM1003. Use any fair means to wipe him
out: water pistol, poison, you name it. A report on your progress is
awaited with interest.
>SJM1003
The University has decided that Magdalene College is a dangerous subversive
influence and is corrupting the left-wing image of campus politics. You are
asked to help them in their efforts to remove every member of the college
by disposing of Giuliano Procida, GPP10.
>GPP10
The Organisation have issued a demand for the killing of John Sloan, JS138.
You have been assigned to the task to measure your efficiency. Do well and
you will be rewarded with further employment. Fail and you are dead.
<JC10007

For interest, the first game run after Paul typed in the rules was run by

about computer rooms/libraries etc.
<MAC18
Managed totake out on of the sleezy cops today - Nir while at Addenbrookes,
but seems someone beat me to him, I hadnt realised I was in the morgue.
(sound of hand hitting forehead)
<DNA1000
Have you given my name to an assassin already? I received a possible death
threat by NOTIFY this evening! (From DFRB1) Or perhaps this was just a
general threat.
>DAB13
Your target is Mark Cheverton, MAC18. Many have tried to kill him but so
far none have succeeded. The Organisation considers him a dangerous menace
to the fabric of Cambridge civilisation (or would do if it used those sorts
of words). You will be rewarded with a place in the history books.
>GPP10
You have been rewarded with another mission. David Brown, DAB13, is showing
dangerous signs of a rebellious spirit. The Organisation cannot tolerate
this and requires his execution immediately. If you succeed, the world will
know your name.
<DAB13
Cheers! Mark's going to be a toughy but I can do it.
THE MASSACRE
>ATF1000, JC10007
I would like to propose that, in the light of the inconclusive and disputed
shoot-out in Clare earlier, another contest is staged. This would be
refereed by the umpire.
It would happen tonight, and it wouldn't be a direct shoot-out, but
people would be set off from different parts of the area and would have to
use their native wit &c. Normal Killer rules apply, of course.
All people NOT dead before tonight would be allowed to play. As far as I
know, this is MAC18, DFRB1, JC10007, ATF1000, ALC1001. Remember that some
of the above may _not_ be playing _at_the_moment_. Therefore, if killed,
they are innocent bystanders (and only count as accomplices in any murder:
"Targets cannot be assassinated by an accomplice", rule 1.2.3).
MAC18 is a bit miffed about not having any weapon, therefore if no-one
else objects, he can borrow my Super Soaker 100.
Suggestions? Questions?
<NL105
the news for the 9th of june fail to mention that I was murdered
*at*ADDENBROOKS*
[Yes, and they also failed to mention that I had steak-and-kidney pie for
dinner that day. Silly me.]
<GPP10
Hey, dead men cannot talk, so how is my name known?
[Names were "made known" in this game because it was intended to be more
of a fast game than usual, especially with a load of people joining in
later that week. Normal service will be resumed in the next game!]
<CRB11
...I've come round to see you on about four occasions now but you're never
in. Oh well.
[Usually because I was involved in some particularly involved shoot-out!]
>JJC1001
Andrew Martin, ACM1001. The Organisation hopes that your career as a killer
will be more successful than that as an innocent bystander.
>ACM1001
The Organisation has decided that Chris Brown, CPB1001, poses a dangerous
threat to all non-Amiga-owning computer users everywhere. You are asked to
eliminate him at once. Upon his death, his Amiga will be taken into safe-
keeping to prevent such a problem reoccurring: please notify the
Organisation when this is possible.
>CPB1001
David Allsopp, DNA1000, is rumoured to have certain photographs in his
possession which may endanger the whole future of the Organisation. These
must not be allowed to be published. Remove him using any fair means.
>DNA1000
Julian Birch knows too much. He has an understanding of the finest points
of the legal system relating to assassinations, full knowledge of the
extent of the Organisation's involvement in the deaths in Cambridge of last
term, and is pretty handy with a water-pistol. This is a tough assignment,
but someone's got to do it. Be a hero.
>JMB29
Trinity Hall is showing dangerous signs of becoming an assassin's paradise.
The University Senate has decided that the more "subversive" elements of
the first year are to be eliminated, one by one. You are requested to
commence this operation by removing Jonathan Colvin, JJC1001, from the
college, the university, and this life in general.
<JMB29
I thought J Colvin had already bought it.
[Yes, but as an innocent bystander before he joined in the game.]
<DNA1000
Julian Birch successfully terminated. Shot repeatedly on X staircase Sidney
Sussex.
["This is a tough assignment". Ahem.]
<ACM1001
There was an attempted attack on my life this afternoon. Contact poison was
smeared on my door nob, but I can open my door without turning the knob in
the usual way and so I avoided it. The killer left a note signed Wolf.
<JJC1001
Duncan has just chased me through Trinity Hall.
As I was leaving the room of my friend Ben Jameson, Duncan espied me from
the wall by the river and drawing an automatic pistol began to chase me.
Fortunately, I spotted him doing this, so I ran and thankfully made it to
the safety of the crowds of people in the Dining Hall. When I emerged he
had already made his getaway.
I wish to lodge a formal complaint with the police force about the lack
of policing in and around Trinity Hall - known to be a favourite haunt of
this infamous criminal. If nothing is done then I feel that I shall be
justified in taking the law into my own hands.
<SJM1003
Alas, I have been got by the radioactive toxic poison on my door handle,
but by the assasin's own admissiom the poison takes 1 or 2 days before I
die, so I shall seek my revenge ..... (Moronic meglomainiacal laugh)
>DNA1000
Congratulations. The Organisation is most pleased with your handling of
this case. Your next target is JJC1001, Jonathan Colvin of Trinity Hall. Be
warned: he is frightened of little, as suggested by his attempted kill on
Duncan Forsyth earlier today. Progress reports are awaited with interest.
<JMAK1
One failed poison letter, looked sort of like pritt stick when I cut the
end off the envelope. Don't know much because I did not risk taking the
note out of the envelope. Who writes me a letter addressed to J. M. A.

The Organisation is most impressed with your termination of the subversive
boatie Chris Carr. Your next target is ACM1001, Andrew Martin. Progress
reports will be awaited with interest...
>ACM1001
You are asked to fulfil the contract held by the late Duncan Forsyth. The
Organisation requires the death of Puneeta Mongia, PM10000, of New Hall. If
you can succeed where Forsyth failed there will be rewards.
>DAB13
Your new target is MRH22, Marc Harris, of Selwyn College. You are requested
to ensure his swift demise.
<MJS1006
To: His Greatness The Umpire <RJF1001>
Please could I join the Killer game, starting from midnight i.e. 45 mins
time?
[Like the nickname...!]
>PM10000
Unfortunately, your target (Stephen Mawhinney) has died after a prolonged
illness caused by radiation poisoning. Your new target is Ben Jameson,
BFJ1000. He is showing signs of dissent from the line pursued by some CUCS
committee members over the issue of the new CUCS machine. They have asked
the Organisation to ensure his death, and you have been chosen to carry out
the contract.
>BFJ1000
Your target is MJS1006, Matthew Slattery. The Organisation is worried that
he will become a dangerously individualistic assassin and has consequently
asked another dangerously individidualistic assassin to solve this problem
- you. Have fun.
>MJS1006
You are asked to fulfil the contract on the life of Guiliano Procida,
GPP10, which Stephen Mawhinney was unable to carry out due to his tragic
death from radiation poisoning. The Organisation hopes you have more luck
than Stephen did.
<JMB29
Oh, I'm dead again btw.
<MJS1006
Subject: Tragic (hahaha) death of 2 police officers
I have had a fun morning so far... I have killed 2 police (SCUM!!!)
officers... Snigger snigger snigger... Adam Cohen was shot in the head
while walking through Clare college at approx. 9:40am and Ben Jameson was
also shot in the head after my impersonation of his friend Alec Gunner
tricked him into getting out of bed and opening his door.
Nowhere is safe. I will continue to kill police officers wherever
possible.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
<MJS1006 (again)
Subject: Another death [SNIGGER]
I have claimed the life of another scummy police officer, Duncan Forsyth,
who was blown up while sleeping(?) in his room at 10:51am by a 9000cm3
bomb. I was safely out of range, but I think that a fair bit of N
staircase was blown up. Also killed was Nick Reed (who witnessed the bomb
going off a few microseconds before his tragic (NOT) death).
I'm also not sure that I've reported the death of Jonathan Colvin yet -
he was garotted in TH computer room at approx. 12:15am.
This killing spree is a great laugh, you should try it sometime...
<MJS1006 (what a surprise)
Another police officer [grin], Chris Brown, has been killed by none other
than myself. The contact poison left on his door at approx. one minute
past midnight was his downfall - he returned from Robinson May Ball in a
state of inebration and put his hand right in it... 8-)
- Matthew 'Terminator' Slattery -
<CRB11
Nobody seems to have noticed anything, although in real life I would have
expected LMT to scream or faint or do some ladylike thing.
<CRB11
Isn't carnage _fun_?
<PB10003
I regret to inform you of the death of Colin Bell.
At 4:30 today, as I was crossing Trinity Street, I was accosted by Colin
Bell, who tired to garrot me. Luckily, the garrot caught in my protective
gogglers, totally ruining them, and thus hit me on my upper lip, not my
neck.
I then grabbed the garott, but Colin fled into N staircase Whewell's
Court, Trinity. Having observed this, I proeceded back to my room for some
extra weaponry, and went up N-staircase, wher found Colin waiting to ambush
me with his co-conspiritor, Robindra Bhattacharyya. I surprised them, and
seeing that Colin was armed with a poison-tipped umbrella, I killed him
with two shots, one to the leg, and the other to the head. In the ensuring
chaos, Robin unfortunately fled.

On further inspection, I have discovered that N3 Whewell's court, Trinity,
outside which Colin Bell was hiding, is the headquarters of a secret
organisation know as the PGR. It is possible that members of this semi-
masonic lodge might cause a danger to the public. Known members, with their
code-names include
Colin Bell (CBR11)
David Jones (DRJ11)
Eva Myers (ERM1001)
Richard Brooksby (RPTB1)
Michael Greene (MTG??)
Michael Fryers (MJF??)
Gareth Rees (GDR10)
Robindra Bhattacharyya (RB10005)
Robin Michaels (RM10006)
Colin Yakely ?????
Adam Chalcroft (DAC11)
Mark Wainwright (MAW11)
David Moore (DSTM1)
Julian Birch (JMB29) [Former PC Birch]
I will attempt to investigate further.

I have killed Puneeta Mongia (PM10000). Just before eight o'clock I was
waiting in her corridor contemplating how to kill her when she come the
other way and entered her room. I knocked and went in where I calmly shot
her after a brief discussion where she pleaded for me to not shoot her
balldress. I quietly left the scene of the crime.
(I have also discovered who tried to blow me up this morning, it was
Marc Harris, now a policeman after I killed him last night, he had no care
that he would kill innocent people, including me.)
