* PRELIMINARIES
MJH22
Duncan Forsyth (the man so paranoid as to remove his college from his RNS
entry) has been showing anti-social tendencies recently to the extent of
wanting to blow up Trinity. The Organization feels that this is an
over-reaction and is likely to bring it into disrepute. Prevent this occurence
by any means you deem necessary.
>DF10003
I have a choice assignment for you. Jon Knight, known as JMAK1, has been
annoying people with his vacuous replies to groggs for over a year now. As with
all social assignments like this, you will sadly recieve no fee. However, I am
sure that the satisfaction of a job well done should suffice.
>JMAK1
The Organization has lifted its protection from James Bullock, who was known
as JB10010. He is a master of poison gas, you have been warned.
[This was shortly after the great tobacco rant last term.]
>ICB1000
It is understood that the man of many names, of which the most recognizable
is NL105, has organized a date. He must not be permitted to reproduce at all
costs. You are cleared to take any measures you see fit to prevent this.
>NL105
Paul Bolchover, codename PB10003, terminate with extreme prejudice.
>PB10003
The University Senate has decided that too many Computer Scientists were
admitted to Cambridge last year. You are asked to rectify this error in the
person of David Taylor, DJT1000 of B2 Garden Hostel, King's College.
>DJT1000
After an ill-advised attempt on the life of the groggs editor, The
Organization has declared RSC1004, codename Robert Carver, persona non grata.
>JC10007
The Organization feels that CURPS requires new blood. Notably, it's
chairman's (CC112, Chris Carr) spattered all over the User Area would be
appreciated.
>SM10009
Ian Wells (IJW11) has a silly pony-tail. Remove it. Use of unnecessary force
has been approved.
[This was before Colin made his own attempt on Ian's hair.]
>IJW11
Matthew Finlayson has been observed using a PC running Windows NT. He doesn't
deserve to live.
* THE GAME...
>MCF14
[Following request for clarification of the rules including the question of
what the precise definition of a computer room was and whether he could
designate his room as one.]
A place where the public use computers. Yes, I know they do, but your room
still doesn't count. 8-)
>SM10009
It has been brought to my attention that you committed an unprovoked act of
aggression upon the person of Ian Wells earlier today. Good show. The
Organization would like to see you continue your good work. Matthew Finlayson,
aka MCF14, is considering turning crown evidence. Silence him.
It has come to our attention that some unidentified group is attempting to
curb the Organizations activities. It is possible you have been scheduled for
termination. Be careful out there.
CPB1001
You're on the police as of now. Your targets are listed in jmb29.killer:wanted.
Remember, you only live twice.

We take off his make-up.

DUNCAN FORSYTH - PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE
The subject of this record is a first-year undergraduate at Trinity Hall,
Cambridge, studying mathematics. His approximate height is 5'11". He could
be described as shifty-looking, with a very roughly shaven face, collar-
length wavy dark brown hair, and a macabre smile which creeps slowly onto his
face. This impression is accentuated by his long dark herring-bone pattern
coat, which he perpetually wears, as well as metal-rimmed spectacles.
His residence is room N2, Trinity Hall (Latham Court). He can also frequently
be found in the Trinity Hall computer room, and in room S2, where he indulges
in the deviant practice of "role-playing". He has been observed by reliable
sources to travel secretly to Harvey Court every Thursday evening, where he
pursues this suspect activity further - frequently carrying a large black
rucksack.
His presence in his room can frequently be detected by the noise of loud
music (notably that produced by an American group of subversives known as
"Metallica") leaking from the hole in his door, a hole which he endeavours to
cover with a message pad. A booby-trap which Forsyth himself had placed in
this hole was responsible for the tragic death of Richard Fairhurst early
in February this year.
(ACCESS LEVEL: RED 5. NOT TO BE DISCLOSED TO PUBLIC: Surveillance of Forsyth
is possible by sitting in the toilet immediately adjacent to his door. This
has been used by police officers several times recently. DISCLOSURE OF THIS
INFORMATION IS CONTRARY TO THE OFFICIAL SECRETS ACT, SECTION 5, PARA. IV.)

Could you clarify?
==============
I have destroyed the nest of conspirers that were using Trinity, Angel Court as
a base.
Ha ha ha ha.
I'm logged on from Cockroft 4. 'cos I wasn't taking any chance with the amount
of explosive I used!
1 very large bomb outside Ian's staircase detonated by timer.
an intermediary bomb with LOS to both the 1st bomb and...
a 3rd bomb outside Paul's room.
When the first explodes it sets off the second and that detonates the third.
Bye, Bye Conspirers.
The redeemer has returned!!!!
[It's not absolutely clear I should have allowed this bomb but there are all
sorts of problems with the bomb rules anyway.]
