IT'S NOW A FREE FOR ALL SITUATION: EACH PLAYER CAN KILL ANY OF THE OTHERS. THE 2 NOT ON THE WANTED LIST ARE JON STAFFORD AND CHARLIE BAYLIS. IF YOU ARE A PLAYER AND DON'T HAVE EITHER OF THEIR ADDRESSES, TELL ME AND I'LL SEND IT TO YOU
THE THREE DAY SUICIDE RULE IS NOW ON, SO YOU MUST REPORT AN ATTEMPT BY THE END OF THURSDAY. IF THE DUEL ISN'T CALLED BY THE END OF WEDNESDAY I SHALL LET EVERYONE KNOW WHO OPPOSES THE DUEL AND WHO FAVOURS IT, SO THAT THE PRO-DUEL LOBBY CAN CONCENTRATE THEIR "ATTENTIONS" ON THE ANTI-DUEL LOBBY *MADLAUGHTER*
TUESDAY
NOBODY KILLED ANYBODY TODAY, BUT NEITHER WAS PLAYING... THE UMPIRE, DISPLEASED AT THE LACK OF AMBITIOUS STRIKES REPORTED TODAY, HAS DECIDED TO REVEAL PREMATURELY PEOPLE"S OPPINIONS ABOUT THE DUEL:
JON STAFFORD DOESN'T WANT A DUEL
BEN REDDI IS ABSTAINING FROM THE VOTE
GEORGE SAVVA, CHARLIE BAYLIS AND KIEN HOANG ALL WANT A DUEL
THIS KIND OF SUGGESTS WHO MURDERING WHO WILL SPEED THINGS UP...OF COURSE, THERE IS NO HURRY. IT'S HIGH TIME SOMEBODY DEVELOPS AN OBSSESSIVE WILL TO MURDER SOMEONE ELSE IN PARTICULAR...
WEDNESDAY
OH WONDERFUL. KEN JUAN CLAIMS THE DEATH OF THE CORRUPT WPC CHLOE SHERLOCK, BUT WHY DOESN'T ANYONE KILL A PLAYER? AAAARGH, THEY'RE TOO GOOD... JON STAFFORD AGREES ON THE DUEL NOW, WITH BEN REDDI MALICIOUSLY ABSTAINING. SATURDAY AFTERNOON HAS BEEN SUGGESTED, PROVIDED THAT BEN AGREES OR IS DEAD BY THEN. THE VENUE IS HARVEY COURT AND THE GARDENS BEHIND IT WITH PATHS AND BUSHES AND THINGS...COME AND WATCH, BUT BEHAVE YOURSELVES... THE POTENTIAL DUELLISTS HAVE BEEN INFORMED AS TO WEAPONRY. THE DEBRIEFING OF HARVEY COURT WILL APPEAR HERE TOMORROW.
THURSDAY
BEN REDDI MADE THE MISTAKE OF CROSSING JON STAFFORD RECENTLY. THIS PROVED FATAL THIS MORNING, JUDGING BY THE BLOOD-SPATTERED DOORWAY IN U STAIRCASE IN CAIUS. JON STAFFORD ALSO KILLED SOMEONE WHO CLAIMED TO BE KIEN BUT WASN'T, OUTSIDE THE EVIL THOMPSONS' LANE FORTRESS. THE UMPIRE JUDGES THAT KIEN PROBABLY PUT HIM UP TO IT; IN ANY CASE, ANSWERING TO THE NAME OF A WANTED CRIMINAL IS NEVER WISE. SO STAFFORD MAKES IT CLEANLY TO THE FINAL DUEL, LEAVING A TRAIL OF CORPSES BEHIND
THERE IS NOW A TRUCE UNTIL THE DUEL, SO THERE IS NO NEED FOR ANY MORE PARANOIA UNTIL THEN ;-) IN PARTICULAR, WILL THE POLICE STAY OUT OF IT NOW, OTHER THAN AS UNBIASSED ADJUDICATORS. BE ALL WELCOME TO WATCH THE DUEL. 2:00PM ON SATURDAY HAS BEEN CONFIRMED.
Duel Maps will appear by midnight in pigeonholes.
For the record, I Define:
Full combat zone: all weapons allowed except waterbombs over 1 litre and flourbombs over 50 grammes. Poison gas and indirect weapons (explosives, contact poison) are disallowed here and everywhere else, too.
Water with care: Small calibre liberally, medium calibre accurately. No heavy calibre (2-barrelled, cps or over 50cm in length). No water bombs or any other messy projectile or spray. This zone is to be cleaned up iof nescessary after the duel
No fight can move into: You may Walk through this zone, but not Run, stop and lurk/hide or fight/fire weapons into or out of this zone
No Play: Stay the hell out of, on penalty of disqualification. And liability to University authorities. You are entirely responsible for your own behaviour
I will take you round the edge of the rear play-zone to ensure you know the no play boundaries as these are deadly serious: Fellows accomodation and a Plant Nursery...
