Week One

Thursday 21st January 1999

As the clock struck twelve, a particularly weird sheep decided to go "boom" and the Lemming was no more... so I guess The Lemming Award goes to the Lemming... What a surprise...


As Mr. Teatime watched the minute hand flick from the vertical, he thought, "Now's the time... Time for Teatime!". The Tigress was checking her targets from a computer and did not suspect the malevolant figure waiting behind her. With one whizzing slash Mr. Teatime swung his light sabre and decapitated the striped feline. No more pussy..
As Mr. Teatime swung his trusted light sabre at his side, the mice started to feast on the Tigress' body...


This report, just in from one of the undead:

Jon Keeling of Jesus College, just killed two innocent bystanders for no particular reason. He came storming into my room, spraying poisoned gas like a madman. In the process he killed both me and my neighbour (John Booth & Graham Bell, also of Jesus College). I think he's a dangerous criminal on the loose without control of the urge to kill. He must be stopped.
Yours deadly,
John Booth
(I was unable to reach the soul in question because it had already joined that of Graham Bell in the afterworld)

This report from the killer himself:

Upon learning that John Booth was claiming to be an accomplice, I decided to make sure that he wouldn't be a problem by assassinating him before he could drag people into my lectures and ensure my rapid death. The fact that he wasn't actually playing may prove to be a minor problem in this regard. In any case, judicious usage of poison gas left him gasping on the floor alongside Graham Bell, another innocent.

Things are becoming interesting already.
That's what I think. Jon Keeling now finds himself a member of the Wanted List... That was quick!


This report from the Hologram:

It was too easy, really. After popping up to Mr Glister's room and finding him not in, I returned to the Robinson e-mail room to rethink my strategy. Then who should walk in to surf the Web than Lunar Jimbo himself!

He proceeded to ask me, "Hey Alex, are you playing Assassins this term?" He saw my light sabre lying on the table, and as I responded in the affirmative I offered to demonstrate the deadly action of the weapon for him. I doubt he expected the demonstration to be so quick, or so final...

His corpse refused to believe what had just happened to him, for several minutes, until the last blood ebbed away. I now await new orders.


Another kill... This one in the daylight::

I'm afraid The Persian Perv of St. Johns is no more. His mistake was to become a celebrity among 1st year NatSci's by running for class representative. Outside the chemistry labs I engaged him in a conversation about his role as maths representative all the time harbouring a deadly weapon in my pocket. After I had confirmed his name, The Perv met his death at the hand of a trusty, yet lethal, rubber band.

Donboy
And from the victim whilst lying on his deathbed:
Ah well, 'tis the price of fame...

On the first day of battle I was slain must cruelly. Being Maths B rep, my identity was known to several hundred people, and one of those was bent on my destruction. My guard was up because of this, however due to the failures of the most cretinous lecturess ever to walk the face of the earth, I have been swamped with students approaching me in the role of representative to complain. In such a way was I caught off guard yesterday, and with a quick flick of an elastic band in the stomach I was instantly and mortally wounded. Carried off to the hospital, doctors struggled for minutes to save me, but due to a decreasing number of deaths in the script, the writers of Casualty dealt me the cruel blow of death.

The Persian Perv


After 6 hours another kill... At 6:25:

Tormos woz asked by Eve Jacques if she could borrow a gun off of him. He consented, but then asked whether the gun was loaded. As Eve checked, holding the weapon, Tormos thought a knife suited Eve better and so sneakily plunged one into her chest. Eve did not appreciate this gesture, and as two large red butterfly wings appeared on the floor as she lay writhing, gurgling shouts of 'brat!' and 'you evil man' were returned to Tormos, as were gunshots from an unfortunately blank gun.

To the CCM Crimeboss: Your secret agent is dead, killed by an even more secret agent. What will you do now?????
Tormos

And the story from the victim's ghost:

Oops... My first day as a fully paid up assassin has turned out to be my last. I met my nemesis where I least expected it. Yep, I was really convinced that 'Tormos' had given up the killing game and would be happy to lend some medium calibre to a friend in need... and er, I did *mean* to ask him yesterday but I sort of didn't get round to it...

When he slipped me the pistol I hid it instantly under my coat for fear of being spotted 'bearing weapons'. Little did I know.

"Um. Have I given you the one with the thingy in it or the other one?"

There being nobody about, I revealed the gun. He grinned, and stabbed me in the heart.

"You were bearing weapons," he explained as the floor came up behind me and hit me with a thud. As far as I can remember it was something stronger than "You brat!" that I screamed as my lungs filled with blood. With the last of my strength I levelled the pistol at him - revenge in the throat of death - and a series of pathetic little clicks dribbled out from the empty barrel. Then great clouds of crimson and black blossomed in front of my vision and mercifully hid from me the floating gloating face of the one man I thought I could trust.

And then I stood up and plunged at him with fists flying, shouting abuse, but I had left my body behind me on the floor and so I fell straight through him and into the waiting arms of Death.


A slice from The Scythe:

Falling to a complete lack of paranoia today Jonathan Amery was lured out of his room by someone claiming to have a phone call for him. He forgot to take his waterpistol with him. Like D'oh! Man...

Blood bar

Friday 22nd January 1999

The Kobra 3050 strikes!:

This morning, after several minor failed attempts, I found the ruthless butcher of innocents as he was walking out of his room. He spotted me, and despite my attempts to resemble an innocent passerby, he immediately knew my intentions, and just before we walked past each other, he greeted me in a friendly manner, pulled out a two-shot Derringer and fired a round, which missed due to the weapon's poor inherent accuracy and power. I threw my razorblades at him, which also missed (yes, I admit I had not practiced much with them)... his second and last shot inflicted a minor flesh wound, but I was able to quickly recover one of my razorblades from the ground and this time it went right through his torso, cutting him in half. Phew.
And so the souls of those two innocents are put to rest as Jon Keeling's body gets dragged off to be used by the IA Medics...


And now for some taunting from a lady:

Lady Diamond regrets to inform Doctor Death that his poisoned letter was successfully opened without any harm to herself or innocent bystanders.


And some more from a Russki:

I believe that somebody may have just tried to kill me. I use the word try advisedly - as it was certainly the worst attempt of which I have ever heard!

I have in my gloved hand a letter, signed by a Mr A. N. Assassin. Claiming to be from the Cambridge Workers Alliance, this letter claims that I should currently be slowly and painfully dying. As no bomb was contained within, I must assume that this effect would be due to a contact poison, of which I can see no sign on the letter. Still, the relevant precautions were taken - namely wearing gloves, opening the letter with a knife and removing and unfolding the contents using tweezers, and so I am still in perfect health. Either my new friend forgot to add his contact poison, he decided that the letter alone would suffice - perhaps scaring me into having a heart attack (PAH!!!) or it is only a threat, in which case his is a strange choice of words. The writing on the envelope, which appeared to have been written by a five-year-old, and the Cambridge postmark had, I feel, absolutely no bearing on alerting me to the suspicious nature of the letter.

Vanya Michaelovich
Death comes in many forms, but the best are slow and painful. Prepare to die, scum of the Earth. We know how to deal with your kind back in Russia...


The Wildthang dies...

Dear Umpire,

I felt it important to be prudent in warning you of a most grievous assasination and murder of an innocent. A "Mr Flibble" disguised his mail by claiming to write on behalf of the Cambridge University Library. The envelope and letter head both contained the logo of this great library. The letter read as follows...

To [my name]
Trinity College

FINAL WARNING

According to our records, the following books are overdue on your account:-

Psychopathy 4 Beginners (C. Baylis)

The penalty for this is death and has already been carried out with contact poison,

lots of love,

Mr Flibble
Unfortunately, not only did "Mr. Flibble" misspell my name and claim that I was from Trinity College (far from the garden of Eden which is my fair Trinity Hall), a mistake not made on the envelope, but as I was so taken aback at having a book from the Cambridge University Library, despite having never found need to use it's services, that a friend (an innocent) touched the letter as I showed it to him. He too was then killed instantly along by my side as the white powder poison entered our bloodstreams.

The end has not yet come for Mr. Flibble, but I am sure that when he is put onto the wanted list, he shall be saught after by the appropriate authorities immediately.

Wildthang (one m in [my name]!)
Trinity Hall (not college!)
All I have to say is that I didn't quite like the sight when I saw the chalk marks in the plodge today. My college has always been a peaceful place. The bodies have since disappeared into the bowels of the ominous Tit Hall Kitchen.

But Mr. Flibble is yet to be found...


Mr Flibble strikes again, but fails!

I realise that humans have been poisoning the Earth since the beginning of time, but I feel that Mr Flibble has taken it too far. He tried to kill Gaia via contact poision. I mean there wasn't even any style to it!!!!!!!

I got back to my college from outside, and checked my pigeon hole (as one does!). There were quite a few items, including a letter, supposedly from the University Library! Considering that I've never been in the library, and only have a vague idea where it is, I was most suspicious. Anyway, the letter was taken back to my room, and was opened wearing a gas mask, gloves (which had been bought only five minutes earlier, they were damned expensive too!), a penknife, and the letter was fished out with a pair of tweezers and opened. When I read the letter, I laughed, what a ludicrously tried attempt. Did he not think, that after having to cope with Humans trying to kill her for the past few centuries, Gaia would not be suspicious, well she was!!! And Mr Flibble failed!!!!

Now Gaia is angry.
She is upset.
Mr Flibble will feel Gaia's wrath!!!!!!!

Gaia


Mr Flibble strikes again and kills!

The Cambridge University Library is in fact the KGB, the Secret Police Of Cambridge (SPOC).

I, Fireball the Furious, cry from my grave in prostest, to alert the City to the corruption, userption, desertion, absorption, and other such crimes that are filling that darkest of towers!

I hereby testify to Poison, of an unearthly nature, and deceit. When, wishing for some love-letter or such like I checked my pigeon-hole, I found a CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSTY LIBRARY entitled long white envelope, therein. Ominous it looked, but out of duty to this (righteous?) institution, I slipped it open, caught hold of the long, white paper within, and....

O!

My fingers felt a little tingling, a little heat, a little steam and smoke, a little sizzling. The POISON caught my body, SHOT up my arm, to my head and heart, which entered rigours. In my BLOOD stream, it filled my whole body, and, standing beneath the great bell I stood, rooted! I agonised! I writhed! I cried out in pain, but nobody heard me! 'Fang!', I cried, but he did not come! And as my flesh melted, my bones crumpled, my skin fell away like a molting lizard so that, within seconds, there was just a mirky pool beneath the bell - still burning, AS ONLY FIREBALL SHOULD!

Therein is my devious death at the bloody hands of the Universty Library. Who knows what tortured prisoners may be in those hallowed halls? Who knows what hunchbacked rulers do tread the stairs and haunt the desks of THAT Tower of Cambridge. I, I know. The half has not been told.

So when you have a note from our esteemed establishment in your pigeon-hole - do not open it. Rather - return it unanswered, and entitled: 'For the attention of 'Flibble''.
yours most truly,

the late Fireball

I wonder what I'm having for dinner tonight? Hmmm.... Fireball Curry and Coronation Wildthang


Another failed poison letter... What is it with these assassins nowadays... Nobody wants glorious kills anymore... How boring.

I wish to report a feeble attempt to remove me from the Guild of Assassins, by a poison-pen letter. Upon receiving a handwritten letter to my name I was naturally extremely cautious, and opening it using a suitable long implement and being careful not to touch the insides, I was able to read the contents without removing the letter from the envelope, which went as follows:

Dear [my name]

I spoke to [an associate of mine] recently, and she mentioned your name in connection with 'Freedom' [the current CICCU mission]. This is an event that fascinates me, as I feel that outreach is very important. Hence I am writing this letter in an attempt to bring you closer to the Lord (using contact poison).

Yours in Christ [!!]
Randall
I do have to admit a certain degree of grudging respect to "Randall", as the entire front half of the letter seemed completely innocuous and just an encouragement to a fellow Christian. Luckily I refused to touch it before reading the entire thing...

You won't get rid of the Hologram that easily!

And for another threat...

Brethren, the Godfather has been threatened:

"Ezekiel 25:17: The path of the riteous (misspelt!) man is beset on all sides by the inequities (misspelt!) of the selfish, and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepards (misspelt!) the weak through the valley of darkness for he is truly his brother's keeper, and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengance (misspelt!) and furious anger, those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers! And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengance (misspelt again!) upon thee!" SPLASH, SPLASH, SPLASH.....

I think he should be put on the wanted list for dyslexia. Absolutely. Right now. And he, too, shall BURRNN!!! (it's also a misquotation - only the last sentence of the quote is from Ezekiel 25:17).

And totally unrelated...
Mr. FLIBBLE WILL BURRRRNN!!!

The Godfather has spoken.


Some more smelly stuff..

My staircase stinks of vanilla, in particular my door stinks lots

I'm not dead due to my general paranoia and always wearing my coat-incorporating-gasmask when i return to my room.
The UNCLE


They keep coming in... The blood flows freely today...

I used a fiendishly clever plan to kill Mr. Rejal. I began by going to his staircase, and finding his neighbour's surname and initials. I then used a series of computer checks to determine the neighbour's first name and subject of study. I picked a time when my target was in and his neighbour was out. Prepared with a plausible cover story concerning some vital notes for Mr. Rejal to mind until said neighbour returned, I knocked on his door. But before I could say a word he opened it and I shot him. What a waste.
Yours, 'The Ominous Pseudonym'


The brotherhood actually get serious... Watch out Flibble...

The Brotherhood has struck!

Chacal, one of the brethren, sent the Mouse up ahead to scout (an accomplice, affiliated to the brotherhood) who successfully located the target, overhearing him quivering in his boots in the bowels of the monstrous monolith known as Trinity College.

When the target opened the door to the CICCU reps he was expecting, he was met with a barbed blade in the guts, which Chacal twisted and brutally used to tear the life-essence from his victims' body...

The victim,
Donboy writhed in agony for minutes, as blood poured from the wounds...

Let this be a warning, to those who would tangle with the brotherhood... Mr. Flibble, you're NEXT.
And from the victim...
There is always a price to pay for being the new kid on the block and frankly getting in far too deep. Relaxing in blissful ignorance, I heard a knock at the door. A voice told me it was the CICCU reps. (What is the CICCU anyway?) Not wishing to be antisocial my door is always open, a fatal error I know, and I became increasingly suspicious when close to 20 people filed through the door. I dived for a weapon but not knowing who to shoot first was horribly overpowered. As a knife was plunged into my chest I heard cackling laughter and the last thing I saw before everything turned red was a blonde haired figure with a slighlty remorsefull expression.
Thus ends the short career of Donboy.


The end of some more nice gloves...

The Kelpie got a letter addressed to her today, at the JCR and she was very excited. Being a cautious and careful little assassin, however, she opened it with a pair of gloves on. It had white contact poison of the powdery kind in it. The gloves, sadly, were ruined, which is a pity because they were a lovely purple and they weren't hers. Their owner has been very forgiving.


Tasty food...

Just happened to be passing the room, of Yunus Sajad-Hussain, when I noticed the door was open. Well, how could one resist!! I knocked on the door, and asked if he had seen Matt, one of his neighbours. When he said, NO, and knelt down again, to contiune cooking his curry, in a large pot on the floor, I pulled a gun, and executed him, with one shot to the back of the head, at point blank range. But to leave him like this wouldn't have been fun. So I then found a meat cleaver in my back pocket, and proceeded to add a little Sajad spice to the curry!! I don't know if anyone ate it, but, it smelt quite nice when I had finished. At least the rotting corpse isn't going to get anyone's attention.
The Lynx Effect


The killing of innocents? I got this report from a nonplayer.

Dear Umpire,

I got a poisoned letter in my pigeonhole this evening. Not being the overly paranoid type (not any more!) I opened it without regard for my safety... My ghost types this verbatim, including the murderer's spelling mistakes:
"Dear Mr. Younger,

It has been brought to our attention by the electrical maintenance staff at Gonville and Caius College that you are drawing significantly more main current than can be safely delivered to your room through the ring mains.

The penalty for this is death.

Check your fingers for the contact poison.

Thank your for playing Assassins. Try again harder next term.

Yours sincerely,

Artemis Venturis"
Time of my death, by the way, was about 11:30 today (Friday). Those leaving the bar at the time had the unpleasantness of having to move my spasming body out of the way. The message was computer printed, on a high quality paper & envelope, so not your everyday assassin! The ink on the envelope was slightly smudged, suggesting an inkjet printer. The paper was liberally sprinkled with a flour-based contact poison.

Regards,

Ross
Who's done this? Hmmm.... The plot thickens...


Another Flibble attempt

This evening I returned from my supervision and checked my pigeonhole, in which I found an envelope with "Cambridge University Library" written on it. This immediately aroused my suspicion, seeing as I have never once visited the building (and I'm not too sure that I could tell anyone where it was located without consulting a map). Assuming it to contain either contact poison or a bomb, I just left the envelope sealed.

A good few hours later I checked up on the Assassin's news, and found out about the attempts of Mr Flibble. Having carefully opened the letter (using a knife whilst wearing gloves), I found out that the book "Fragility of life" by "U R Ded" was overdue, and that the penalty for such a crime was death. Well, my gloves might have disintegrated after touching the innocent-looking white powder contained in the envelope but I do appear still to have my life, something I intend to ensure is taken away from Mr Flibble within the next few days.

I hope the demon librarian enjoys the final few hours of his life,

The mighty Gul'dan
Come out, come out, whoever you are...

Saturday 23rd January 1999

A proper attempt (although useless)...

[knockknockknock]
Them: 'Ummm.... hello, we're looking for [insert first name + surname here]. Is he around?'
KB's girlfriend: 'Errrr.... yeah, I'll just get him' [slams door]
She to me: '[first name], it's those assassins you told me about.'
Me: 'Hmm, you'd think they'd be more subtle really'
[goes to door]
Me: 'Hi there; you're, oh you are assassins. Bye.'
[slams door, goes for tea]

Killer Bee
Pathetic... The current assassin worthiness is going down rapidly... Tsk tsk...


Another innocent... What the fuck's going on?

OK I had a assasination atempt which failed today, which was strange as I'm not playing... Luckily I was wearing my claw so used that to open my mail and noticed white powder fall out onto my sleave which was as always black...

Lord Nhudri
All I can say is, "?"


Attempts, attempts, attempts....

Mr Bond had a civilised evening. A friendly gold-penned poison letter from Alison Farmer was safely opened by the laser in his watch
And a small piece of advice to Alison... Put some poison in your letter next time...


And another (yawn!)....

Just in from Margana-le-Vets' Nose-Kit:

Have just dissected three rats and a most impressive poison letter attempt from the Tyger. What's a Fay, anyway?
Beats me...


A proper kill... Finally!

I am sorry to report the sad death of one Ooid...

On opening the door to a friend asking directions she was lulled into a false sense of security - only to be coshed from behind and then shot through the heart.... by the man known only as "Fred"


Another kill of an innocent (late report)

Misfire had just been released from Addenbrooks after being brought mysteriously back to life following the fatal injury he suffered in the final of Michaelmas '98. A bit shaken up by his traumatic experience, misfire vowed never to kill again, and thus avoid any further injury from assassins after his blood...

Thoughts of the future were playing in the reformed killers mind, when, only too late, he noticed the world was revolving, and slowly going purple. Misfire collapsed, a poisoned letter from the senior tutor of trinity hall escaping his grip, and with his last breath, cursed 'The Auntie' whose signature appeared on the bottom....


Paranoia saves the day...

Well, I finally checked my pidgeon-hole after a couple of days, and found the expected letter in there. Paranoia has its virtues, as I discovered on opening the letter with gloves on, as the letter read:
Dear Paranoia Personified

As president of the Cambridge University Star Trek Society it is my reluctant duty to inform you that you are now deader than a doornail due to the contact poison on this letter,
Goodbye,
The Baius Kraius
The gloves had a slight white mark on them afterwards, which can only suggest some form of talcum powder was used, or something.


And here's one to teach those who tempt assassins!

Orcsinyourknickers would like to report the tragic demise of the renowned author of "Pychopathy 4 Beginners" and infamous champion of the previous badminton tournament.
During a brief conversation, the great writer deliberately left ambiguous the matter of his playing status, causing great suspicion. The next moment, he reached for a weapon, firing a shot directly towards me. Was I dead? Thankfully no, it was a blank. But COULD I have ben dead? Was this man a killer, or an innocent?
Soon after, the gun fired at me was tested once more, this time firing a live round. If the suspected assassin WAS playing, he could have killed me. This was too great a risk. The moment he raised the gun once more, he was gone.................
Whether the great veteran had died, or was never truly alive, no one could say. Either way he was now finished, and the world can breath easier knowing he is deceased....................

Orcsinyourknickers


Attempt on Lady Diamond...

A dumb blond forgot to report a poisoned letter from the Llama People that she got.
But she's still alive... And another pair of gloves goes down the drain...


Marek joins the Wanted List...

I admit killing a civillian, understand that I am now wanted, and I believe Mr Midgely will confirm that his killer had purple hair and used silly string (I hope that the silly string came out of his bathrobe). There was more than one person that went to Midgely's room, and although someone else was present, I did the killing. Apologies to Mr Midgely.

Sunday 24th January 1999

Today, I have finally been able to piece together the puzzle that has been forming since the killing began. I now finally know the identity of Mr. Flibble and can therefore attribute the following to him:

The whole fiasco climaxed today as the most bloodiest massacre in ages occured in Clare College this afternoon. [Gives a totally new phrase to "Sunday Afternoon"].

Since this is a long an interesting report I have fused together the reports of both teams involved in this battle. The light purple colour will be those comments made by The Brotherhood. The light green colour will be those made by the CU Mafia bunch (or whatever they call themselves). As always, my additions will be in white.

We have come to understand that there is a web of treachery which surrounds the Assassin's Guild. We will tell it like it is.

Today was a sad day for the brotherhood.

Setting off on a Sunday afternoon, after one of the brethren tracked a translucently deceitful email which was designed to entrap the brotherhood into a quick and easy death. Having found this out, we were fortuitous in finding that the Sultan of Sex had the occupant of the room in Clare as a target anyways.

Several brothers went to make the hit.

The hit was meant to be made on M. le Blanc, and Mouse went up with the Sultan to try a pathetically constructed ruse.


It was 4:45 (Teatime) when there was a knock on the door of Monsieur Le Blanc's room in Clare College. When asked who it was, we got the response "It's a petition about the guy playing trombone too loud downstairs". This would have been a good improvisation had it not been a French Horn.

After this failed, The Sultan attempted to infuse their room with Toxic Gas. Unfortunately, the letterbox of the room had been sealed, and thus the Sultan gave up on that tack.
They knocked again and the door was opened half an inch. The evil occupants of the room, however, then began to torch the Sultan, who dodged the flame by ducking into a cupboard.

30 seconds later, they knocked again. The door was opened to reveal Mr Teatime wielding a nerf gun. The guy in the kitchen (Mr JK Birchall) was swiftly locked in using 5 pieces of string (mwahah).

I'd like to point out that on examining this cupboard/gyp room I discovered that it would take a real idiot to lock themselves in... Pity the Sultan didn't lock his harem in as well... He could have survived for ages on the food and satisfaction...

The brothers were stricken! We had to release our comrade!

We then moved out to occupy the landing. Mr Teatime fired a medium calibre repeatedly down the stairs killing Mr Simms-Williams (oh sorry, it's one M isn't it? :-) and one other.

Following this, Mouse returned safely (which is good). Bouncy poisoned baby rubber hedgehogs were lobbed down 2 flights of stairs killing Wildthang (again - what is the man playing at?!) who figured he was just watching anyway. They covered the door with poison darts and a big gun, preventing us rescuing our comrade.

The evil Flibble made a sortie from his room, during which he fired straight down the stairwell, tearing off the lower half of Gul'dan's body and got the spectating Wildthang (again).

Several of us tried to flee the building at this point.
Upon hearing the window of one of the rooms above the exit to the building open, The Brotherhood ran back into the building for fear of being shot at from above, and continued their negotiations with the enemy. Talks with the enemy concerning the release of the Sultan seemed to be going well. The Sultan was fairly prepared to give his life in exchange for his freedom (after about 20 minutes in a cupboard).

The guy in the kitchen was only released upon his signing of a note to say that he surrendered. He was shot upon exiting the kitchen. We take no prisoners.

I then gained access to the BOFH's room (he was out of town and had trusted me with his keys). Inside, what should I find, but a BFG-9000 (big fsckoff gun). It turned out that it was already loaded and pumped (the BOFH is *just a bit* paranoid). I strapped my newfound plaything to my arm and wandered around the staircase doing a fairly passable imitation of the first few levels of Quake.

After a long Siege, some of the brothers ran out (weapons sheathed) and Flibble brought out the BFG-9000 and fired down the stairwell in the hope of hitting anything that moved. And a lot that didn't.

The BFG-9000 then proceeded to rip through CMOT in the kitchen downstairs (splattering his body all over the kitchen walls).
Snooker took the bullet (in the shoulder) for the Godfather, and CMOT's entire left side of his body was blown off. Then three guys who's pennies had dropped and decided to tuck tail and LEG IT down the lower stairwell. They too met an untimely end all over the stairs.

Walking away from the battle, Buffalo Soldier approached the Godfather and informed him that the target was terminated! This had been accomplished when Buffalo Soldier fired on him as Flibble came out to fire upon those fleeing the scene of the battle.

Unfortunately one of the two remaining alive people (Buffalo Soldier) then shot me with a truly inspired shot from a small handgun (muchos congratulations). The BFG-9000 then ran out of ammo (the directions for use do say "use same technique as when watering flower garden"). Just when they thought it was all over and they had won...

Like all good villains, the Godfather returned to the scene of the crime to gloat triumphantly! At this stage, Granny came down, with a smaller gun and soaked the left leg of the Godfather!!!! The brotherhood let out a cry of woe!

Buffalo Soldier and Too Short were still under siege (with foam & water weapons & poisonous gas, which Buffalo Soldier evaded by wearing Wildthangs jumper as a mask), with the dead Flibble directing his fellow assassins on the floor above, as to where our brothers stood. Too Short escaped immediately after, but Mouse remained to photograph. Wildthang was enjoying the show, and seeing if he could die again.

Mr LeBlanc and Granny (not the original one...) "suddenly" emerged from Mr LeBlanc's room also. At this point there was a stalemate between Granny and the two who had taken refuge in a secluded section. Mouse was shot through the letterbox of the door he was hiding behind (NOT into a room, but into another section of landing). He then claimed to be innocent despite having taken LOTS of photos and being a member of the shady possie of around 10 people.

Buffalo Soldier called for backup. In the meantime, Mouse was hit by a stray 'bullet' through a letterbox which he was inspecting for targeting possibilities for Buffalo Soldier. Having made clear his lack of affiliation to the guild (only to the brotherhood) he was terminated AGAIN by the triggerhappy bloke upstairs, at which point Mouse left, meeting the reinforcements Vinnie, Mr. Miyagi & Taxi Driver Man, who left immediately, deciding the situation was too perilous.

Mouse stayed (dead though he was), Wildthang was still trying to catch another bullet in the teeth. After further deliberations AND A LONG siege, Mr. Flibble picked up all his crazy ball hedgehogs and delivered them to Granny who then began throwing them again (woman style (eh!)). No casualties here, though Wildthang did try.

The siege showing no sign of relenting, Buffalo Soldier was ready for suicide, but wearing rubber gloves, was handed a porcupine, which Mr. Flibble informed him had killed him, and goaded Buffalo Soldier out of the room.


Accompanying the Camera wielding fool in the seclusion zone was none other than Mustapha's right hand man. Buffalo Soldier who made the mistake of picking up a poisoned baby hedgehog thinking perhaps foolishly that the spines would not stick through the gloves he was wearing. He was also stabbed as he left the building, as he seemed a bit reluctant to believe that he was dead.

Feeling that trusting these evil men was unwise, an attempt was made to persuade them to lower their weapons, but all they gave was an assurance of a peacefire.

And that was it.

It is important to note that Wildthang was a totally unarmed zombie, except for his beard, and Mouse had only his Digital Camera (and a very nice camera it is too!)...

I only hope that justice is done.

Let the brotherhood stand eternal, and let the allies of Mr. Flibble BURRRRNNNN, as he did.


Dear Mustapha, Godfather of the Trinity Hall Mafia, next time you want to take out a decent player it is best not to count on a lucky shot fired by one of an enormous possie of inexperienced ones. You are a fool, and one more attempt as bungled as the last one will render the pathetic remnants of your mafia destroyed. P.S. I do hope it wasn't you that got wasted as you ran down the stairs in a brown trouser funk abbandoning your people to swift anihilation, coz it looked a bit like you and if it was then MWAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAA!!!!! Mr Flibble laughs last and loudest.

Yours Sincerely,

The UNCLE ;->
To summarise:

Brotherhood toll: Buffalo Soldier (killer of The UNCLE - Killed by a porcupine), Snooker (killed by The UNCLE), Mouse (killed by Granny), CMOT (killed by The UNCLE), Gul'dan (killed by The UNCLE), Sultan of Sex (killed by The UNCLE), Wildthang (killed repeatedly in classic style). The Godfather is injured by The UNCLE but he shall be out of Addebrookes by Monday morning as it was only a flesh wound... He should be able to be walking to lectures. Too Short escaped unharmed...

CU Mafia(?) toll: Edd Pringle (The UNCLE) is dead! Granny survived and Mr LeBlanc was nesting cosily in his room.

Another thing I'd like to mention is that both teams at some point used Zombies but since it was such a short time scale of use I shall ignore this occurence...

May it also be know that all poisonous letters from one of Edd Pringle's pseudonyms shall be considered void attempts since he is now dead. (There is also another reason behind this but this shall remain a secret between The dead UNCLE and me).


The bee stings...

Just a few minutes ago, The Scythe received a knock on his door by the Killer Bee posing as an undergraduate with a view to looking around his room for the ballot. After foolishly confirming his identity, he jumped slightly too late to the single shot to the chest that was fired. Maybe he'll be more paranoid in the afterlife?

Killer Bee


The BOFH kills another innocent...

Believing that I was being tailed by The Hologram this evening and also believing that by now I was wanted, I decided to kill this suspect who didn't comment and bemusedly wandered off.
Unfortunately, it wasn't The Hologram... Another innocent bites the dust...


Cambridge beware! A Bastard is on the loose!

Maz The Wanted (justabit) Bastard Operator From Hell (BOFH) had a bit of a fun time today. He poisoned the outer door of 37 Green Street, abode of The Lemming and Ben Noakes. Ben Noakes walked out and was presumably gassed. The true motive for this seemingly random act of violence was that there was a "Shiela and Her Dog" meeting in Lemming's room and the following guests also died as a result of the gas:

Innocent: Alex Cumber (a vicar from Ridley Hall who was there to marry Alan the Penguin to Eleanor)
Innocent: Alex Cumber's wife, Kat
Innocent: Mark Harman
Playing: Mark Snellgrove
i was on my way to lemming's room last night, and had just entered green street, when out of the shadows behind me emerged the ghost of the uncle, floating slowly down the road. he explained that he was dead, and made friendly talk as we walked down green street. as i pressed the the buzzer (the one with the teddy bear on it) he suddenly remarked how the door smelt of vanilla, and i smelt it too, then dying horribly at the bottom of the stairs.
Mark Snellgrove's last words: "oh dear, i think i feel faintly"
Ah the fine art of treachery. As the time of Sheila beckoned, Tormos alias Casby the friendly assassin marched forward, heeding the call with friends. (One of whom knew what fate awaited me *miff) Twas then that tragedy struck. I should have payed more attention to the situation. I should have seen the corpses of all the members of Sheila (killed by Vanilla-sprayed door) outside the appointed meeting place. I should have armed myself for a war, but alas, a sword was my only weapon, as I turned and saw two skulking shadows in the alley as I passed. I ran (the wrong way) drawing my sword as before me two more monsters stood before me, brandishing firearms. Honourably, I threw myself passed the first, as shots wounded my leg. From behind the first pair emerged, shooting me as I tried to deflect the shots with my trusty weapon. Then suddenly, I felt the deathblow. A small poisoned Hedgehog to the leg.........
Tormos was no more. However, his ghost strongly protests at the killings of the Sheila and Her Dog Society meeting, including the Umpire of assassins, and a police officer who didn't even know he had been enrolled yet.

Tormos the Policeman.
My law-enforcing ghost lives on. I am the Crow, the deaths of Sheila will be avenged. Justice will be served.
That was the work of Maverick, The BOFH, and another random assassin.

Hence we have more innocents to add to The BOFH's kills and Tormos' death. And to continue with the BOFH's way of painting the town red...
I then proceeded to tastefully murder various suspicious characters with poisoned baby hedgehogs. They were:

PC Alex Cairns (guess I'm a bit more wanted)
Timothy Logvinenko (a former player form Trinity)
Maria Voronsova (girlf of Mark Snellgrove and close friend of Cristian Asby, therefore elligible as an accomplice)

We then came across the following people who played last term:

Fred Sharrock
David Dowsett
+ the suspect Ed Hicks
+ three friends from Burrell's Field (this gang had given death threats to an associate of mine)

Three of them were killed by me (BOFH) by flame thrower, the other three by some more hedgehogs.
Warning: Please do not pick up any stray hedgehogs on Bridge Street... No matter how cute they look.
More report:

Me (BOFH) and Ms. Farmer then lay in wait on Malcolm St. outside the Rattle and Hum. Sure enough Kelpie walked along the street with a bike in one hand and a boyfriend (Puma) in the other. The Ninja distracted the couple (who were also walking with a friend) with a martial arts cry as he drew a machine gun. At this point, Ms. Farmer (who has both of the couple as targets) shot them behind with a still larger machine gun. On one of their friends becoming objectionate to being left out, I (BOFH) removed him with another hedgehog, thus adding to the bloodbath. The former player Markus "The GarageFlower" Eichhorn was then also hedgehogged to oblivion.
And a little luv report from Ms. Farmer
I saw the gestalt entity Kelpie-Puma walking hand-in-hand with itself tonight and snuck up behind it and blew a hole in each of its backs. I thank my accomplice the Ninja for distracting them with some impressions of Bruce Lee.
Anyone else who turned up to Shiela and her Dog will have perished, as will any assassins hanging around outside due to copious amounts of vanilla spray on Lynnette Dray's door/frame/handle/step/etc

Mr Teatime's death, although regrettable, has not stopped the kill rate. Maybe it even increased it :-)

The Bastard strikes again! Vanya and Gaia fall... Someone get him... Get THE BASTARD!!!

I was being very paranoid and suspicious (given just how wanted I am right now) heading to my lectures this morning.

Once in my lecture, who should I spot but two more members of the Godfather's henchlings. I knew they were assassins because I had tailed them to the previous lecture, overheard their conversation and even chatted to them, asking one of them whether the practical I was about to head off to was going to be difficult.

Feeling a bit "hung over" from all the kills I did last night, I decided that some "hair of the dog" might remedy my aching head. I packed my things quickly and left the lecture in a hurry. I managed to catch up with them just before they crossed the road. Calling out "[insert name here]!" as I approached, I put a bullet through each of their heads from point-blank range. They were dead before they hit the floor, a bloody but neat hole in each of their foreheads, a slightly bloodier and messier one at the backs of their heads where the bullets had emerged. And that was left handed too.

To the Godfather: KEEP 'EM COMING.

The (VERY VERY wanted) Bastard Operator From Hell
From the Russki...
Comrades, today is a dark day. The forces which move this world have been dealt a cruel and heartless blow. It is my sad duty to report that Vanya Michaelovich is dead - shot from point plank range with a single bullet to the intestines. The strike was carried out just after Physics at the traffic lights on Lensfield Road.

Where others have failed. This person, working as an operative of the CU Mafia learned the name of my companion, who was a target of the Mafia. In order to prevent witnesses from reporting what had happened, he also shot me. At this time he was not aware of my true calling in life. As his silenced weapon stole the life of my friend, he turned the gun on me before I could realise what had happened and fired again. Comrades, I beg for your forgiveness. My error was unexcusable - and from beyond the grave I call for my death to be avenged. The Bastard Operator From Hell must die. To all fellow students of B course Physics Bastard Operator From Hell must die. To all fellow students of B course Physics

I issue this warning - beware of this Bastard. Beware of this killer who is willing to send innocents to their deaths in order to further his aims. No-one is safe where this man is. I call for his death.

Yours in death,
Vanya Michaelovich

I will be back.....
And from Mother Earth...
Today was a sad day indeed. After numerous attempts to poison the spirit of the Earth, to which she was resilient, Gaia's life was finally brought to a close.

Gaia had just left her Physics lecture at the Chemistry Laboratories on Lensfield Road, and was about to proceed to her next lecture, when, suddenly out of nowhere, BOFH shot her in the head, leaving Gaia writhing in agony as she died on the pavement on Lensfield Road. To ensure that there were no witnesses, BOFH then shot Vanya Michaelovich, who was with her at the time.

It seems that brute force will always win in the end, even the spirit of the Earth cannot survive against such force.

I call for the surviving members of the Brotherhood to ensure that BOFH, aka Marek Isalski pays for the murder of two of its own. Marek must BURRRRRRRRRRRRRN in HELL like the scum that he his!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gaia

The Earth Spirit walks no more.
There is no one to avenge the crimes that have been committed.
The Earth must wait once more for another spirit to avenge the wrong - doings.
Until next time...


Vinnie makes an attempt on Tom Tot!

I obtained entry to the den of villains with cunning deception. The thug who opened the door then had to answer the phone whilst I gave a small talk on the Christian Union. Naturally assuming that the one who opened the door and answered the phone would be the one whose head I was after, I lunged my trusty cosh at him. He fell to the floor in agony saying 'its not me you're after'. Standing laughing beside him was my real target, who I quickly finished off as well.
There was a slight problem with this report before as it has come to my attention that Vinnie never stabbed the target... Oh well...


The Bastards! They killed Steve!

A body has just been found slumped on the steps to Mem Court, Clare. Clare residents, used to arbitrary killings after last year's bloodbath, were gingerly avoiding the corpse as they went about their daily business.
The report from the Bastard
My associate Edd Pringle and I were heading over to buttery, given that we were hungry. Personally I had had too small a breakfast (Vanya and Gaia) and was thirsty for more blood too.

On the way to buttery I spotted my college dad (awwwwwwwh). Steve Kitson was a player last term. Edd and I split up and as I approached Steve, I machine gunned him on the steps in front of Clare. Yet another crime I have committed: patricide.

I then rejoined Mr Pringle and we continued to mosy on in to Clare Buttery. Edd went ahead to talk to a
Smiley T about how Edd was dead and there was a gang of Tithallers after him. He also reassured him that no-one else in Clare was alive. Thus Smiley was rather confused when the BOFH turned up 10 minutes later and proceeded to add his brain to the buttery meal he had before him. (We couldn't tell the difference it made to the meal - buttery bolognese is a *bit* dodgy...)

After finishing my meal I headed back to my room. As I approached the courtyard, I spotted a figure who had a striking resemblance to a Mr. Ben Parker - CORRECTION - *had* a striking resemblance. The *REAL* Ben Parker has less holes in, something which may need remedying (assuming he's playing that is...)

The (more than ever before) Wanted Bastard Operator From Hell
That's ok BOFH, but I'm just wondering where this police force has gotten to? Hmmm....


Some late news from Saturday... Why tell me so late?

On Saturday morning I was the proud recipient of a miserable letter, complete with reference number and letterhead from the superintendent of my college informing me that I was drawing too much electric current. As I gasped in disbelief, I read the next line informing me that my fingers were covered with contact poison, courtesy of Bob Friendly. This had the effect of causing me to begin swearing profusely. This uncharacteristic behavior resulted in a friend of mine who was standing nearby to snatching letter from my hands, only to encounter the same fate. As he was not playing the game, Bob Friendly is guilty of the death of an innocent person.

Dr Death
(the real one not the Pringle one)
This was another of Pringle's kills but since it happened before his demise I shall allow it... sorry Dr. Death.


Another innocent falls victim to the BOFH... (yawn...)

I decided that I'd had enough from last term of constantly being brought back from the dead, only to be knocked to the ground again by some club-wielding maniac, and that I would rather spend this time rotting away peacefully.

Well, there I was, strolling through the streets when I saw someone whom I recognised as the long-haired assassin I hit with my bunny rabbit-cosh last term. Despite my disguise of Lemming's hat and dressing gown, he had noticed me. Oh well, I thought as a grenade entered my bodily regions and proceeded to accelerate the decomposition.

A Double Whammy! Two kills within ten minutes...

Christ's College, 19:07

The Shadow left his room, probably to visit his next door neighbour... but he never made it there. As he closed his door, he noticed two strange men walking towards him, and in true assassin's style, instantly recognised them as potentially lethal. Unfortunately, he had made the fatal error of not arming himself, and payed the price. He died with honour, asking to be shot, and did not complain as the bullet pierced his heart and he fell to the floor in a pool of blood.

Tit Hall, 19:14


Ramulus heard a knock on his door, got up, and opened the door, only to find a bullet fly and embed itself in the back of his skull. The two men smiled to eachother, and left, leaving the body in the doorway, with a thin trickle of blood oozing out of the centre of his forehead.

Zordok
A decent assassination... Congratulations!


The old methods work the best...

Aaaargh!
For the SECOND TIME IN A ROW I have been assassinated by a member of my own department within seconds of leaving the lecture hall. This time,
The Giggler was indeed early and barely waited for me to leave the Tilley Room before plunging a dagger into my stomach. Apart from the fact that I feel a little unlucky that out of the four 1B geologists in the Guild, 2 of them have had me as a target, I am a little diappointed by the uninventedness of the attacks. Oh well.

I will go away and decompose in peace and alcohol...

Overkill has taken up a lucrative new job as head of the Andorran Secret Police, a suitable institution for him/her? to propagate further megalomania without killing this term's Killer game or the Umpire's inbox.

Burns...

Following a formal meal in celebration of a famous Scottish poet, one Fred was seen leaving the dining room rather hurriedly.. Worried friends followed him as fast as they could, but not fast enough; for outside they found NFG holding an extended lightsabre over Fred's body - lying motionless in a pool of his own blood. The victim was caught in the motion of pulling his gun out of its holster; the weapon appeared to have gone off while still inside, and become stuck.

Nfg has now returned the bequeathed weapon to its owner's grave, its purpose accomplished...

A little tip...

Build your bombs at home so that they are ready to stick without waking the victim up with the heavy-calibre sticky tape. That way I'd have had a decent night's sleep, you wouldn't have been shot at and there would have been a chance I got blown up :)

A classic kill...

Agent Orange was strolling along without a care in the world when he espied the tall, dark figure in the distance. (Enough third person already) A strange intuition stole over me so I casually slipped into the College Computer room which as it turned out was a mistake since it is a deadend and I wasn't armed. Inside the building, desperatly trying to find my College card to slip through the security door and give myself time to think, a deep voice from behind me asked me my name. I turned and for some reason told him. A rubber band was then drawn and fired but lightning reflexes parried with the everso handy shopping I was carrying. I then ducked, twisted, rolled and grasped the elastic band from the floor. My foul foe made a grab at it as I fired and the band misfired. Again there was a scramble for the band and again my Nam reflexes won through but the foe turned tail and fled. Since the effective range of even a heavy calibre band is only a few metres I sprinted after him, past bemused tourists and finally shot him in the back as he tried to flee into a labyrinthine College building. Tom is dead and the Agent LIVES ON!!

Regards,
Agent Orange.
And from the poor humiliated victim...
It was painful and humiliating. In an attempt on the life of Agent Orange my vicious elastic band was deflected by a plastic bag and then used against me after a hot pursuit around the front court of King's. I died at the foot of the stairs by the bar, and surprisingly enough do not remember much of it.

Oh my head.

My brothers,

As you all must be aware, these are troubled times. For some of you they are over, but the rest remain and we must be ever more vigilant if we are to avenge our dead brothers' deaths - this is one thing that cannot be done from beyond the grave.

This afternoon at around three o'clock, there was a mysterious knock at my door. When no reply was given to my demands of "check it out now", or even the slightly less subtle, "who's there?", I worked out that it must be one of my would be assassins. He went but came back five minutes later. So now I was trapped. What could I do? The only thing that came to mind was to attempt the latest linear circuits paper. (Desperate situations call for desperate actions.)

Let this be an example to you all. The forces of darkness surround us all, and it will only acts of extreme bravery such as this that will keep us alive.

Your ever loyal brother,

Week Two

Thursday 28th January 1999

Another cop bites the dust!!! Some extreme action is required to keep this Bastard at bay...

Today was another good day for the Bastard Operator From Hell. Gradually he is decreasing the number of police that are after him. The BOFH approached PC Gul'dan from behind, having been hanging around outside a maths lecture to get him. The BOFH shot him three times in the chest at point blank range, just before he left the New Museum Site. His body shall remain there, being stepped over and on as countless other police and innocents and assassins walk to their morning lectures. May it be a warning to all those who oppose the will of the BOFH. Tit's usually come in pairs, but whether they come on their own or as a group of ten, the CU Mafia shall reign supreme.
Well, this police officer practically committed suicide today...
When walking away from my lectures this morning, I was approached by this person asking me if I was a member of the police force. With my brain still immersed in a mathematical state, I was not really thinking and as opened my mouth to answer (with words, that unfortunately, would not have sufficiently disguised my identity) I was shot at point-blank range by the Bastard Operator. I may have been foolish, but on reflection I guess that he knew who I was anyway and I would have met my death at that moment whatever response I gave.

All I can say from my grave is "Somebody stop this bastard before it is too late..."

The dead Gul'dan


Another innocent and another cop... No need to guess who's done this.

A shady looking character was hanging around on my staircase today as I returned from lectures. He refused (at the end of a machine gun) to answer whether he was an assassin. He was shot in both legs and will have bled to death by the time you read this. I believe that he was from Clare College.

Also, in an attempt to keep the number of police down,
PC Smiley T was again shot (this time in the torso, not the head) three times by me today in Clare Buttery.

The Bastard Operator From Hell


The Ace of Spades???

Received a death threat today, with compliments from the bursary. The only sign of any possibility of contact poison on the letter (not even in an envelope!) was the fact that the word "Die!" and a spade-shape were written in thick black soft pencil, which would have left a black mark on any fingers unfortunate enough to touch it. The rest of the letter was photocopied.

Pretty pathetic really.

Dud bomb...

Full marks for effort, 0/10 for skill I'm afraid for whoever it is who's out to get me. This afternoon he/she taped a bomb to my door whilst I was in the room. However on opening the door, the detonator failed to go off as the tape pulled off the door.

Hence I am still alive enough to write you this.

A failed attack on the Bastard's stronghold...

At 15:25 today, a friend of the BOFH knocked on his door. Unbeknown to him an assassin was waiting on the stairs for just such an opportunity to enter the BOFH's morgue. The door was opened for the friend and as it was shutting he charged and got his foot in the door and really put his foot in it. As we could not shut the door, we opened it. This revealed Penelope Pitstop with a blowpipe. He then retreated to the far side of the landing whereupon the aforementioned foot (ankle) was hit by a poisoned blow-dart. He attempted to fire off hideously inaccurate shots with a cap gun (about 8 metres away), but then the poison coursing through his veins caused him to collapse and he SHOULD have fallen down the stairwell, onto the accumulating pile of bodies that decorate Clare College. HOWEVER, he didn't realise/believe/think that he'd been hit and so came back. BAD move number 2.

Susan of St John's attempted to blow up the BOFH's room, with a bomb on the door. Sadly, the first person to open the door (completely unaware of the bomb) was Edd Pringle (recognise that name?). The bomb blast radius was too small to kill anyone else in the room. Once the door was fully open, the BOFH shot Susan with a dart gun. In summary, he's most definately dead.

Honestly, all this wasting of people is like shooting fish in a barrel. With an elephant gun. In the head. Twice. At point blank range. When the fish swim towards you in eager expectation. Daily.

This has been by far the best attempt so far however on the CU Mafia although given the nature of the previous attempts, this isn't saying too much.

An intersting confrontation...

Made an attempt on Ominous Pseudonym's life at 11:45 on Friday. He was exceedingly paranoid, only opening the door a crack, and closing it very quickly again. He was very polite. Nice chap. Had a little conversation through the door with him, before disappearing back into the shadows...

Paranoia Personified
And from the ominous one...
Last night, just before midnight, I heard a knock on my door.
Assassin: "Can I come in".
Me: "Who is it?"
Assassin: "It's me".
Having had my suspicions aroused, I stood behind the door, and opened it a crack. He fired a pellet into the room, I shut the door again, and he eventually went away. I thought about chasing him, and shooting him in the back as he left, but frankly I wasn't feeling sober enough.

The Ominous Pseudonym

Snore... I can't believe noone's been killed today... I can tell you that I had a fun day and a really good dinner and... (what am I doing...) I've decided to ignore the isolated attempt of someone trying to hack into my account because I couldn't trace the perpetrator... And just a small note for those of you who didn't know... The Trinhall mirror remains online only during the day... So don't check for updates on that server at night... (Unless it mentions that it's been updated recently).

The BOFH tries again...

The BOFH has struck again. Or at least he has tried to.

Comrades, This morning I received a letter from UCAS. Certain aspects of the letter aroused my suspicions, and so the letter was treated with appropriate care - namely the letter was held at arms length and opened with a knife whilst wearing gloves. On studying the letter I found that it claimed to be a questionnaire. The last question read 'Did you just die from contact poisoning?' and had been answered 'Yes' for me. My heartfelt sympathies to you, BOFH, but I am afraid that your hopes were misplaced. Still, at least you did better than the last poisoning attempt on me - at least you did remember to add the poison.....

Comrades, my life is by no means over. The BOFH must hope that I never meet him on the streets of Cambridge for there are many both in the Penguins and in the Guild who would gladly kill him. A nine millimetre brain haemorrage would be his fate.

Yours in anticipation of his death,

PC Vanya Michaelovich


Know that I am Vanya. I walk on the dark side of the path, so that others may walk in the light. I am Death, against whom no door is barred, no portal held. No lock or chain will hold me or protect you. Your life is forfeit. Your dreams smashed. Your future on hold. You will breathe no more, and the foul air you exhale will cease its poisoning. Your deceitful tactics will perish along with yourself.
Strong words... But will they help? Time will tell...


The BOFH strikes!

I was killed for a second time today by a very clever poisoned letter! It was in my pigeonhole, with a stamp on it, typed address, postmarked Manchester with the UCAS logo on the envelope. I opened it and as my fingers touched the letter paper, I got a brief glimpse of a white powder before the contact poison kicked in and everything become blurred as I keeled over dead on the floor of the plodge.

The signature on the letter?
Congratulations to BOFH whoever that may be.

PC Ooid


Blatant overkill...

As previously reported, a couple of days ago, my police career was terminated prematurely by the BOFH. Well, despite having slaughtered me then he obviously decided that a simple shooting wasn't good enough, and so this morning I received a letter allegedly from UCAS (a little unusual, since I already have a place at uni and so have no need to apply again). Anyway, being no more than a ghost I was unable to open the letter myself nor stop my friend Katie from doing the task... As soon as her fingers touched the deadly posion on the letter she was killed instantly - yet another innocent victim of the Bastard. I would like to point out to BOFH that I am actually dead, and if wants to boost his kill count it would probably better to target people who are still alive.

The very dead Gul'dan


Another UCAS letter...

This morning whilst checking my pigeon hole in a perfunctory manner for the hope of a letter, what should I find, but a letter from UCAS, addressed to myself...Interesting, I thought, and my suspicion was aroused. The letter was opened wearing gloves at arm's length, with a knife.

Upon reading the letter, held with a pair of tweezers, of course, I noticed the bottom part of this, which incidentally took the form of a student. Well, BOFH, I hate to dash your hopes, but I'm still alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You made far too many mistakes, and I saw straight through another abysmal attempt!

I was surprised this afternoon to find a letter in my p/hole.

It was addressed from UCAS

Now this made me suspicious, and using the many helpful materiels available in TH-Plodge I opened it.

The big giveaway was the letters BOFH at the bottom, and the words in italics "contact poison".

Lacking suitable disposal facilities I dropped it in the bin :)

And another one...

I just recieved another letter today, also convincing, this time supposedly from UCAS. It had a Manchester postmark. Several things made me suspiscious, like a) what have UCAS got to do with me I'm a 2nd year? b) I thought they were in Cheltenham not Manchester, c) Why have they used such a scrappy printer for their emblem this time? and d) Why did it have written on it 'This is almost certainly an assassination attempt by BOFH. Beware. Rich'?

I would like to inform the BOFH that his pathetic attempt on my life today has failed. The letter claiming to be from UCAS was obviously a fake & I opened it without harm to myself or inocents. I intend to ensure, however, that the BOFH will not try this again...

A kill not from the BOFH...

With an impressively realistic letter from the UCAS agency was I today duped. A short lived policeman and even shorter lived assassin, this has not been my finest hour, or term to put it in a broader sense.

Bomb time!

One fine Sunday morning, BOFH decided to put a bomb outside my room... The bomb would have worked, but BOFH made another serious mistake...

BOFH.... Bombs are supposed to go BANG!!!

PC Gaia

Revenge is a dish best served cold...
BOFH beware.....


Bomb Squad at work

I feel you should know of an attempt of BOFH to assassinate PC Vanya Michaelovich of the police force. When waking this morning and leaving my room to have my shower, I found an unusual device outside the door of my comrade... PC Vanya Michaelovich. At further inspection I realised that it was a bomb. I immediately got in contact with the nearest member of the police, which just happened to be me, and convinced myself to become a bomb squad official for that moment. So like some sort of wild person, as I am, I approached the bomb carefully and disconnected the detonator, then I removed the bomb and detenator very carefully, to ensure that no explosion would take place. It was a good attempt by BOFH... but to try and bomb a member of the police force is very unwise. I call on all members of the police force to form a strike team and destroy this creature now, before any more innocents or police are killed. We shall uphold the peace at all cost, and you BOFH will be terminated.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHHAHHAH.

PC WildThang
Bomb Squad
And this report from the trapped PC...
I feel that it is my duty to inform you of a failed attempt on my life. The Bastard Operator From Hell has tried once more to kill me - this time with the aid of explosives. Were it not for the brave actions of PC WildThang, I might not be alive to write this. Comrades, early this morning an explosive device was attached to my door, primed to explode when the door was opened. Following analysis of the device, it appears that the amount of explosive used would have affected a radius of approximately 6.3 metres. This would have killed not only myself, but destroyed much of the corridor. Analysis also showed that the bomb had a fatal flaw in its design - it is unlikely that the bomb would have detonated. The bomb relied on simplistic gravitational triggering, whereby a small object would be dropped from a height when the door was opened. The energy that the object contained when it hit the ground would cause a small explosion which would then trigger the bomb itself. However height of the detonator above the ground would have been insufficient to guarentee a good trigger action, especially when the detonator is falling onto carpet. BOFH, your plans are flawed. BOFH, your life is soon to be over. BOFH, you cannot hide for ever.

PC Vanya Michaelovich

Your hourglass runs low, mortal. Your hour is near. The forces which move this world have been personified in me. Your death will be my greatest pleasure. Your agony will be my narcotic. For you should know that I am Vanya. The name should strike fear in your heart, for that is the name of your killer. It is by my hand that you will die. No cell can contain me, no plea lead me astray. There is no escape. For Death is coming. For Vanya is coming.....


The police force is slowly depleted...

I am dead - again :(.

Killed by a bomb (which given its radius of 6m actually brought the entire staircase down)...

The bomb radius should've been 6.3m, not 6m as marked on the bomb.

As if it mattered, at least one innocent was killed in the process.

PF, and rather dead, Y.


Just like yesterday was letter day, today is bomb day!

Yet again the BOFH has made an attempt on my life and yet again he has failed. Early this morning, the BOFH attached a crude 500cm3 bomb to my door. Thanks the the brave actions of my neighbour, the bomb was disarmed before I opened my door. Upon closer inspection, it appears the bomb would have failed to go off anyway, since the detonator wasn't very sophisticated. Is the BOFH afraid to show his face? You bet.

PC CMOT


Another failed attempt...

BOFH attached an explosive device to my door in the early hours of this morning. However due to the remarkable courage of the ghost of the Sultan of Sex who defused the bomb before I opened the door, Taxi Driver Man lives to drive another day...

Where to please??!

Kaala kaala kutta, kutta kutta, ay oh, ay oh!!!


The BOFH takes a break from bombing and does some real killing...

I decided that Mr. Potato Head had been far too inactive in this term's game for my liking, and that he should either start killing people or be removed. I put a test to Mr Head by entering his room (saying that I was from the CU - almost true - CU *Mafia*) and waiting a few seconds being generally very suspicious. He did not proceed to use the Black and Decker Sander on me, so I proceeded to grenade both him and a friend in his room (I was unsure as to which was him). They are both dead, needless to say.

Seeing as I was in the vague area, I decided to pay a visit to an assassin from my college, Mr Bleasdale. Gaining entry to the Colony was not difficult - I was practically begged to come in when I asked to see Mr Bleasdale. I found his room door open, knocked and shot him.

I would like to say (on record) that these two kills could not have been possible without the help of two accomplices, namely FireBird and The Squirrel. Not only did they help in totally confusing the targets, especially in the case of Mr Bleasdale (who asked, "are you here to kill me?" to them, before I pumped his torso full of lead from a shotgun - his body is now slumped over the computer terminal where he was working) but they also aided in the bombing of Trinity Hall this morning. Many thanks FB and RS. They have now disappeared back to the ether from whence they came, to the Land of The Penguin and the NeuNet, to the world of three letter acronyms. Perhaps they shall return again to serve more death to pathetic assassins in Cambridge.

The BOFH


The BOFH is under threat!

Someone (I have suspects) posted the following in my boarded up/boxed up letter box:

1) letter (hand written) signed by "Mr Illegible Signature, A Spokesman from Serial Killers for Social Order". It also lists 3 "targets" - "should you survive and wish to kill me, my real name is..... [3 people]" - I assume someone wants me to kill their targets

2) one black piece of card with "killall -9" written in silver (in my handwriting) on it. I used an innocent (taking sensible precautions, ie mask/gloves/tweezers) to open the letter. It turns out that the card was identical to the one that Mr Pringle sent to Pembroke (can't remember the name - Thomas peters maybe...), covered in Vanilla (so the now dead innocent's ghost tells me).

This was a failed attempt I'm afraid. Apologies to the innocent, Firebird who died in the process. May his soul live forever in the grace of God.

The CU Mafia has lost one of its henchlings.

A valiant attempt by Vanya...

I was wandering home after my lecture this morning when, as I entered Clare, who should I see but my beloved cop friend, Vanya. He was leaving Clare. We passed each other exchanging nasty looks (if looks could kill, there would probably be two more bodies in/around Clare College). To my surprise, neither of us drew a weapon - how out of character of me! (I believe that this was due to a particularly boring lecture I'd just been to - maybe I was still a bit asleep).

Upon returning to Ashby Court, who should I see again, but Vanya. He began slowly approaching me. I pulled out a sawn-off shotgun and ran at him firing. Another police body now rots in Ashby Court.

The "i-just-cant-wait-till-all-the-police-get-me-at-my-java-lecture-tomorrow" BOFH

And a few words from the deceased...
Comrades, today is a sad day for the forces of law and order. PC Vanya Michaelovich is no more - shot by an elastic band fired from a gun belonging to BOFH. Whilst on an information gathering trip to Clare, I saw BOFH walking through the porter's lodge. After I had passed him by, I returned to my own college and, once armed, gave chase. Comrades, I nearly succeeded. However in this world nearly is not good enough.

I remain eternally

PC Vanya Michaelovich

As the fanfares die away at my funeral let the world know that PC Vanya Michaelovich is dead. Shot whilst in the pursuit of his duty. Whilst not a successful death, let the world know that I died in the pursuit of that which I hold dear. Let the world know that there are still people who are willing to give all they have to let the masses free. Let the world know of our cause. Let my death not be in vain.


Another Bastard attempt...

Once more the BOFH insults the honour of us all. A well constructed forged contact poison letter, perporting to be from UCAS, but in fact being from BOFH, was sent to me today. Fortunately, being forwarned, I opened with gloves and gas mask, disposing of said article in a safe fashion. Although I was not a policeman, such a blatant insult from my own killer can not go unpunished.

Tom "Susan" Voice


The Brotherhood is attacked...

You may be interested to know that the BOFH yesterday added another failed attempt to the long list of bombings against us.

After the last failed attempt against me, I have become paranoid about opening my door. So, after a long lie in on Sunday morning I was almost expecting to see the piece of string as I cautiously opened my door a few cms. From then on it was a simple matter of gently pulling out the drawing pins that held the crudely made detonator to the door. It was not difficult - he had not made a very good job of it (but then, what's new there).

For the more technically minded of you, the bomb consisted of a 2 litre orange squash bottle, filled with water with the word "BOMB" written on it. This sat in front of my door, attached with a piece of string so that it would fall over when the door was opened.

This goes to show that despite his persistance, BOFH is only an amateur. How long will it be before our patience runs out and one of us puts him out of his misery?

Yours as ever,

M. Chacal


A late UCAS attempt...

I am disappointed, but not really surprised. The BOFH has shown himself to be without imagination or skill, and lacking even the remotest amount of subtlety or cunning. I found a letter in my pigeonhole this morning labelled from UCAS and having kept up with the news I opened it with gloves on. It was from the BOFH and had contact poison on *yawn* and it followed the format of earlier letters precisely. Come on, I'm police now, and there is no point wasting contact poison on paranoid police, especially when they have work crises.

An assassin gratefully dies...

Unfortunate victim Will Wiles was all too eager to open his door. All too eager to lose his life as a single knife stabbed him in the chest. As his body fluids oozed out he seemed remarkably calm, noting that he did not really have the time to kill others. He wished me luck on my quest.

An interesting situation!

NFG proceeded to Q4 Trinity Hall in the company of Roy and the zombie PFY. Finding the door open, Roy asked the occupants of the room to direct him to staircase O. One of the said inhabitants duly emerged, and was stabbed in the hip. The uncomprehednding look on his face suggested that this was an innocent...

NFG and his accomplices then proceeded to stake out Q4. All the inhabitants duly emerged, and the one wielding a weapon was duly shot with dry ammunition by NFG, and also by the PFY for good measure. The
Taxi Driver Man's hand clutched the trigger of his gun, but he was already dead....

Arty bomb?

Note to wannabe assassin: Obviously you're an arts student, else you would surely know that the force required to detonate a tension-sensitive detonator is far greater than that which Sello Tape (R) can support. I'd go for alternative low-tension methods if I were you... in fact, you are welcome to pay me a visit this evening and I'll give you a quick lecture on bomb detonation and defusing.

Useless bomb...

I woke up this morning to find two things:

a) there was a bomb on my door
b) there only *was* one because my neighbour must have defused it

It seemed to lack:

1) detonator
2) something connecting the detonator to the bomb

The bomb had a blast radius of 6 metres which could have been quite nasty had I been anywhere near it if it had gone off. If it had gone off however, it would also have destroyed my neighbour's room.

Nice try, whoever did it. Betcha weren't counting on me having cool neighbours (I still gotta work out who defused it - there was a neat arrangement of small pieces of bomb outside my door when I opened it :-).

There was some kind of housing for the detonator, and it appeared that perhaps a banger in the detonator tube might have made things a little more interesting. This was even crapper than most of my "Class B" bombs on Tit Hall.

I believe that the electricians that came into my room this morning set it off. It turns out that I didn't leave *my* room this morning...

Mr. J. Stafford made a kill today that added him to the interesting Wanted List...

I was doing some particularly tricky physics questions when I heard a knock on my door. It wasn't locked, so I said come in, and politely opened the door for them. The suspicious looking type who had knocked was then joined by another, attempting to conceal a large water pistol beneath his jacket, and holding a small knife in his hand. I was stabbed before I could get my gun from my pocket. I attribute my dull wits and slow reflexes to the detrimental effect of doing physics.

Failed attempt

On their way to the Sidgewick Site Penelope Pitstop and Bandit decided to pop into the Brethren's gatehouse and leave a note for one of the surviving members a note to remind him to buy a calculator before it was to late in case he lost count of the number of brotherhood deaths in the past fortnight. Hopefully the contact poison on the note will add to the toll.


The BOFH fails to kill!!!!

This evening, around 7pm, Catherine Reifen wandered into M. Le Blanc's room while I was there and produced a venomous giraffe. The BOFH, terrified, ran to the other side of the room and sat, cowering in the chair.

Reifen then proceeded to launch the aforementioned rabid animal towards the wall, completely missing the BOFH. "Oh dear," thought the BOFH, "not another completely useless kill attempt on myself. Guess I'll just have to waste this pathetic assassin too..."

The BOFH rummaged around in his armoury (big blue jacket) and after a few seconds produced a large dart gun. The BOFH pumped the dart gun and aimed at Reifen's stomach. The LASER sight shone a small red dot at Reifen's waist. The BOFH squeezed the trigger...

>BLAM<

&*!£^%*!£^%&*^!£*%^!££%^ (lots of nasty swear words)

Unfortunately, due to one of those niggling little mishaps (probably induced by an over-exciting Maths supervision) that always seem to crop up from time to time, the dart had fallen out. A large volume of air proceeded to blow over Reifen, causing a mild disturbance to Reifen's hairstyle. Reifen decided to tuck tail and run like crazy the other way before the BOFH could reload.

The BOFH ran after Reifen, fumbling with the dart and gun in an attempt to get it reloaded to finish Reifen off. Unfortunately, the BOFH is a little fat and couldn't keep up with the sprinting lithe form of Reifen.

I guess that's the first person to have gotten away from the BOFH alive.


And Reifen dies so easily after escaping the cluthes of the BOFH... What a pity...

This evening, not 30 minutes ago, Ms Reifen responded to a seemingly innocent knock on her door. Upon being asked whether she was Catherine she replied yes, and was promptly stabbed through the chest.

Upon noticing her demise she said "Ah - you're an assasin. Hello. Can't chat, I'm fuck late for Choir."

The standards of language in the heavenly chorus have evidently changed since my day...

Dearly Beloved,

Oh ye criminals, hear ye and tremble:
"The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish."

Deuteronomy 28:22

Today, brothers and sisters, is a day of great rejoicing. Accompanied by PC's 'Hologram' and 'Puma' and a brother who shall remain nameless I staked out the dwelling of the infidel BOFH. After an hour or more of quiet contemplation (or boredom) the foul fiend sallied forth, heavily armed. But the LORD was with me and I shot him with the revolver of power and might (and plastic). Thrice was he punctured bodily whilst his own emanations scarce grazed my arm. And he was no more.

"For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me."
Philipians 2:18

(The congregation of St Richard's of CoP warmly extends a hand of forgiveness and friendship to Mr Isalski, and hopes he will bolster their fast-dwindling numbers. And any help with the Mothers Union coffee moring in aid of the Roof Fund would also be welcomed.)

Amen.

Treacherous brotherhood...

Several of my former brethren decided that, in view of the fact that I was technically an incompentent assassin, they would carry out my execution in a manner appropriate to one who had not yet drawn blood. Why they told me this, however, is absolutely beyond my comprehension.

Upon leaving the college super hall, I returned to my headquarters to retrieve my flamethrower, and, walking straight into the room of former clan-member current police officer CMOT, who I torched to the point where his charred remains stained the walls.

PC Gaia was next, as I covered myself from my traitorous brethren. Flamed, she was left as a pile of slag, to rot awaiting a worse inferno than the one which I gave her.

I did warn people, that those who messed with the brotherhood with burrrn. And traitors pay the highest penalty.

This event, however, has soured life for me. That such duplicity and traitorous tendencies could exist in a clan so close as we. I pity the fool who does not think this is shocking and depraved.

Thus I welcome my impending death - though I find myself off the wanted list for incompetence, I will surely be slated for the appropriate punishment for the torching of my former comrades.

To the inferno with all of you.

PC down... mayday... get the Zombie...

'After a sleepless night and a boring morning Tormos the friendly policeman found on the wanted list a person he knew, the evil Zombie, and thought it might be fun to pay him a visit. Armed with a few weapons, I found his secret lair, a maze of stairwells and corridors.

For a few minutes I waited outside the door of the Zombie..........

Suddenly, I felt a tremor in the force. Someone was around, and surely enough, I spotted a person walking around the floor above me, and heard him slowly making his way down the stairs.

Was this my prey? No, couldn't be, no one would be that paranoid. Not wanting to surprise this innocent person with my presence, I walked down the stairs in time with his footsteps......

Then, as I reached the bottom, my wildest prediction was proven correct. A stream of water hit the wall behind me from above, narrowly missing my head. I turned, calling to the evil Zombie that he had missed me.

Then, as soon as he had appeared, he was gone. "This is fun' I thought, as I realised there were at least four entry points around me he could appear from, and covered them all with a keen eye. In a flash, he emerged from the outside door (how??) and we exchanged fire with each other. He had greater range, but I had cover and variable pressure cannon that could fire without reloading..... The balance was tight, all I had to do was wait for him to reload.

And I would have got away with it if it wasn't for those pesky hedgehogs!!!!! I dodged three of the monstrous things as they ricocheted around the stairwell, each narrowly missing me. However, just as my gun's range looked to be improving (it is a very strange gun) the Zombie's aim also improved, and he hit me square in the chest with another hedgehog, and as I died from the poison I was happy, now my boredom and insomnia were cured..........*orange*'

A late report from PC Taxi Driver Man soon to be added to the Wanted List...

On Friday the 5th of Feb 1999 (a day that will long be remembered for the remarkable performance of the Tit Hall 3rd mens boat in the Robinson Head Regatta) Kieran Lawrence Carter Westley & myself (respectively stroke & bow of the aforsaid boat) felt it necessary to drown our sorrows in an act of sadistic pleasure unparalleled even in the long & bloody history of THE BROTHERHOOD.

Having plotted FRUITILY, our plan was executed with military precision. The Godfather & his select group of bodyguards were lured into H staircase (under the pretences of a pre-curry gathering), where we lay in wait.

As our unsuspecting victims approached the vicinity of Neema's room, they were massacred...some were shot down, some brutally stabbed, others poisoned with a rare toxin which causes instant death (this unfortunately led to a huge number of civillian casualties). The final death toll was as follows:

Da Godfather - Poisoned
Vodka - Poisoned
Vinnie - Stabbed
Snooker (innocent) - Poisoned

As a follow up, I also stabbed Rob Bacon (Too Short) earlier this evening.
Little did The Taxi Driver know that killing innocents in the process doesn't make you a better policeman... So he wiped out the incompetents and the wanted Godfather but he's now on the Wanted List for murder...


Revenge for The Godfather!

I discovered that my Bretheren had been assulted by two of their own! What deciept is this that had to be revenged. The killer of the Godfather, to whom I will always be loyal, A PC Taxi Driver Man was burnt to death on this Sunday the 8th of February.

I then collected what ashes remained and disposed of them in the Sultan's Dust bin. I shall not rest until the Bretheren claims it's power as I the Godfather's heir shall rule over his dimminished but somewhat loyal (beyond the grave) people. I shall not die again, for I AM IMMORTAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Long may the Godfather be remembered and loved for his great acts of kindness to his worst enemies, to have them destroyed before they could do any more damage to themselves or their friends.

DOH!

I am so stupid it's unbelievable, I Penelope Pitstop and my trusty side kick Bandit took a detour to Tit Hall this afternoon to see if we could take out a wanted criminal before we began our translation. Having discovered the name of one of his neighbours I knocked on the door and said that I was looking for her. The door was promptly opened and I started firing with my pistol, unfortunately the mystic powers of the brethren had emptied the first five barrels of my gun, so only the 6th and last shot fired by which time the criminal had closed the door and returned to his work. Having failed in our attempt Bandit and I left taking note that the criminals water weapons room looks out onto the court and his window opens, remember this my friends if you venture to his lair yourselves.

Half asleep, he survives...
Tuesday 8th Feb 12.15pm
I was rudely awakened from my slumber this morning by a knock at the door. As I was still half asleep and not very switched on I did not enquire as to who it was and even more stupidly neglected to arm myself.

I stumbled over to the door and opened it only to be confronted by a gentleman wielding a small but nasty looking pistol. I watched in fear as his finger slowly squeezed the trigger and braced myself for the expected shock of a bullet tearing through my flesh and ending my career as an assassin then and there. But it was not to be. Luck, once again was on my side!

The only response from my assaliant's weapon was a small and rather pathetic squeak. Quick as a flash, I slammed the door in his face as he cursed and struggled to get his gun to work. I had survived! Lucky for him too that I hadn't got my own weapon.

Better luck next time mate.

P.S: Next time I'll be ready.

Another attempt on the wanted Miyagi

Today, at around 6:15 pm a large police squad surrounded the room of a certain wanted Mr Kieren Westley. Attatched to them were an anonymous assassin and the notorious Bandit. Mr Westley was seen leaving his room on a sortie to his kitchen, but the death squad was interupted by a group of his friends. As he fled back to his room, a medium calibre was fired at his retreating back from about 6 metres off. The fate of the Assassin is unknown as his door was slammed and he refused to answer as to whether he had been hit. It is unfortunately probable, however, that the door provided enough cover for him to escape serious injury. Bandit covered the window after we had left but reported no movement. No matter - the police shall return.
Miyagi survives again, but for how long?


Time for some new medication...

I hadn't forgotten to take my pills. I'd lost the box. So I went to my psychiatrist, Gainya the Mighty Mouse, who gave me some more pills and just to see if they worked, went back to Christ's with me. Heavily armed.

I then shot a friend of Matthew Rose, so I guessed the pills didn't work.

Also, in this attack Matthew Rose (also an innocent) fell to his death...


Slakko disappears... (and 3 innocents)...

I was just milling around in Clare Old Court, like you do, when, to my surprise, a DipSoc meeting ended!!! And who came out but Slakko Warner! Well, I had no choice. Helpfully pointed out to me by Slakko's disapproving brother, Yakko, I forwent the opportunity to drop an anvil on him (in true WB style), and went for the time-honoured riddling-with-bullets approach. He attempted to lob some sort of projectile, but I easily ducked it and his lifeless corpse fell to the ground.
Oh yeah, I killed Johnathon Amery for the sheer hell of it, and a few innocents too. Naughty me.

Slappy Squirrel
And the ghost speaks:
On Monday night the DipSoc committee was mercilessly gunned down in the main court of Clare. A number of innocent bodies littered the ground, as did mine own. One Matthew Garrett was seen assisting the murderer, who quickly fled the scene.

The innocents killed were Martin Stribblehill, Christian Boltner, and Jonathan Amery (yet again).

Ah well, at least I made a kill this game.

An innocent doppelganger dies...

I saw some guy somewhere and he looked a bit like someone else and the upshot of it all is that he is dead.

Another cop down...

I entered the college computer lab at about 1.15am and saw the honourable PC George at a computer. For various reasons, foremost that I wanted to, I pumped him full of depleted uranium slugs.

A Leeking and a safeing!!!

The Leek Late this evening, the BOFH must have decided to come to Fitz college in an attempt to kill Emma Bennett (the incompetent criminal). He didn't bank on there being a Fitz Cooking Party (who were expecting the ingredients for BOFH casserole). He was stupidly carrying his BFG-9000. He was an obvious assassin from the moment he was spotted - either it was a CPS-2000 in his pocket or he was extremely pleased to see us.

The BOFH was knocked unconscious with a particularly nasty half-piece of leek by Lady Diamond. PC BOFH get's safed!The Fitz mafia then carried the recumbant body to underneath a second storey window underneath F staircase (come and get us - make our day - it's too quiet out here - this pathetic attempt is the first thing we've seen!).

A large unsafe was then hauled to the window, filled with large amounts of cheese (Scottish Mature Cheddar - on special offer at Sainsbury at the moment) and dropped onto the corpse-to-be-again by Tigger. There was a short whistling sound and then a loud but very short squelching sound.
And so, Agent Saphire (Emma Bennett) gets a promotion from incompet to a murderer... Whatever next!

Nothing happened today

There are less than 20 players in the game (in case no one knew that already)

Ok, so here goes... I never thought I'd be writing this but recent events have forced me to.

I've been playing the game since Michaelmas 97 when I first started out as a police officer and awent out on a criminal hunt with J Doe. During that game and that of Lent 98, I managed to thouroughly enjoy myself while playing the game. I got to see other colleges and meet new people while having fun about the whole killing aspect. This was probably the most important aspect of the game to me. I wasn't too worried when I got killed and I wasn't paranoid enough to miss lectures (I've only ever missed four in my two years here - and those were when I was ill).

This term's game has been REALLY FUCKED UP!

I need not mention the ammount of cheating and lies that have been floating around the game. Those people know thenselves. What I do want to take into account is the main underlying point of the game. FUN! Mafias are generally not too bad as you tend to find yourself trusting others who you really shouldn't be. Take the example of the Tit Hall mafia, the Brotherhood. They joined the game for the fun of it. They followed the rules and didn't lie to me. They got massacred again and again and laughed about it. And then their police got their incompetents. No corruption. No bullshit. That's were the fun comes in.

In umpiring this term's game, I never perceived how psychotic some of you are. you don't gain anything for winning. It's not that amazing. It's how you play the game and not winning it. I never would have thought that taking time between updates would create such problems. I would like to mention that I'm not a sad individual and I like to go out every night partying till 2a.m. and sleeping at some unGodly hour. I go to all my lectures and practicals and enjoy them. I love HTMLing and updating the webpage but I hat having to sift through 40 e-mail messages a day to sort out the lies and the fuck-ups that everyone is doing.

It has also come to my attention that this term's game has created enemies and not friends. This is fucking crazy and I'd like to put a stop to this stupidity, otherwise the Assassin's Guild will break down people's lives and ultimately itself. I have thought up a list of drastic modifications to ensure that future games are more enjoyable. I will post these ideas later on in the week and I would like as many replies as possible stating your opinions on these ideas.

I shall be hosting a party in my room sometime in the next fortnight or so. I would like as many people as possible to come. I want it to sort out the bickerings between you and to allow you to get to know each other, properly. Alternatively, I would love to stage an Assassin's Formal Hall which would even be better. If anyone is in a college that allows large bookins, I would love all the assassins (lots of you!) to come. It would be the first one of its kind (I think?) and may bring some new life to the game.

As an afternote I would like to add that I WILL update the webpage DAILY in the afternoons (anytime between 2 and 6ish). I like to go out at nights but may sometimes do a few updates in the evenings (or maybe even some mornings) depending on the day of the week.

And if any of you see me wandering in the streets of Cambridge, do say hello. I'm very approachable and don't know some of you by name (if you want to know what I look like then check out my website under the About Me section). And if anyone wants to join the band I'm in then do contact me. Oh... one more thing. My hair's shorter than in the photo on the webpage and I regularly change it's colour (daily) from metallic purple to dark blue to greeny blue to gold to copper to my natural colour... And I wear very baggy jeans... That should be enough info so you can recognise me.

All of you TAKE CARE and please ENJOY the game

Love,
The Umpire

Two down...

There has just been another bit of violence at Fitz. Lady Diamond is dead, killed by my sword as she charged up the 2000. PC Edd Pringle, bearing Jim Garrahy's vicious poison flavour razor frisbee fudge (tm) is dead, shot through the heart by my Silly String. I am not even the slightest bit wounded. Although my pride is hurt that nobody found my leeking of Maz or the humorous safe drop the slightest bit amusing. We here at Fitz certainly did. How we did laugh, ha ha ha ha.

You didn't think i could, did you?


Ritual suicide...

In the time honoured tradition of my Father's Kingdom, I ritually slit my throat this morning at sunrise, thus finallising my departure from this plane of reality.

Unfortunatly, since I have beleived myself dead since week 1, and thus have not been participating propery in this game I do not feel justified in beginning my attempts at assassination now.

Agent Saphire expires her last breath...

Emma Bennett lies in a pool of blood by the side of Huntingdon Road. I visited her room, and found it wide open, and a lot of chatting coming from the next-door room. I therefore waited a while, then left and came back. As I came back, I noticed a couple walking across the courtyard towards the plodge. Having passed them, I said to myself "I bet that's her", but I went up to her room to make sure. Indeed, the room was shut and the chatting had stopped, so I rushed out to the road, and trailed her all of 50 metres.

Walking up nochalantly behind her, I took out my weapon and said "excuse me" - she turned round, and I fired - and hit her leg. She then proceeded to inquire politely as to whether she was poisoned or merely legless, so I told her she was legless and finished her off with neat shot to the heart.

The boredom of maths lectures pushed him to the edge... The result? Another cop down the drain...

I don't know how these mathmos put up with, well, maths. After sitting through some boring lectures, enlivened somewhat by one of the lecturers openly bearing weapons as a "demonstration of flux," whatever that means, I followed after one PC Tom Voice and stabbed him swiftly and fatally in the back as soon as we had both stepped out of the sanctuary of the lecture theatre.

The corrupt cop dies at his former brother's hands...

I have died once more, and this is my final death. Kieren, one whom the world knows as a scum that will destroy this beautiful city of ours has killed me in the most stylish of ways. I had planned to kill him last night, and of this he must have known. Though how I do not know as I had told nobody. Finally as I was sitting in a College room, he picked up a hat, I had not noticed him sitting there at this point, and threw it in my direction. As it approached me I realised that it was a razor brimmed hat, but it was already too late, the hat cut straight into my chest, and as my guts poored out onto the floor, he stood there laughing at his win! It is yet another sad day for those who loved the WildThang, and never will another so great come again. Hats off to Kieren for a master kill!

PC WildThang is dead, when shall come such another!

PC WildThang
Died at the hands of as many people as possible!!!!
The surviving member of the brotherhood gloats...
I wish to report the death of corrupt PC and member of the bretheren Wildthang. On learning that Wildthang had been placed on the wanted list, I made it my mission to remove my former comrade from the world of the living before somebody else did. Hearing of a party in the former HQ of of the brethern, I instinctively knew that Wildthang would be there. I therfore made my way there and cautiously entered. My suspicions were correct for there was Wildthang deep in conversation with the Godfather.

Quickly, I seized my razor brimmed hat and flung it at Wildthang with all my might. Needless to say, despite his beard of immortality, he was severed in two and decorated the Godfather's room in an interesting shade of red. Groovy.

Have a nice day.

A double-Tim kill...

Just dispatched Tim Pike and Tim Norris in a cleverly planned attack. I looked them both up on the matriculation photo, and went up and lurked around their rooms, until a neighbour of theirs became suspicious, then killed Tim Norris. I then told Tim that I was now prepared to emerge from the shadows and meet his friends having a pancake party. As I was being introduced to Tim Pike, I cleverly drew my other weapon and shot him. He should have about ten holes in his body by now.

All good fun.

Ash Wednesday

Another cop down...

The Kelpie regrets to inform the umpire that today whilst walking along beside New Court she was shot from above by a foul assassin. As she lay dying she observed their gloating forms through a haze of blood and water. They were unidentifiable but the voice of one was clearly that of the odious Stuart Campbell of Jesus College.

Then her vision faded entirely and she was borne away on wings of night to meet her maker...

PC Kelpie
And a master assassin dies...
I was walking towards New Court, Christ's, trundling the Society TV along behind me, with the Kelpie (carrying the society video machine), when a large jet of water emerged from the balcony. Being the incompetents that they were, they aimed at me, forgetting that gravity exists, and succeeded in killing Kelpie, two metres ahead of me. Then, having gone under the cover of the overhang of the balcony, Kelpie told me to go back to my room, and that I would die if I came in. I should have listened really. A large jet of water then came under the balcony (which I cunningly dodged again), but I was still holding the (very big) soc. TV. I decided to go in, with large weapon drawn, *still* dragging the TV behind me. Needless to say, I was paying very little attention to people with water pistols, and lots of attention to the TV, so one of the punters detached from the crowd and shot me with a very small water pistol.

I can't say it would have been hard to recognise me really, with the great big huge coat, large dart gun, and huge TV, just waiting to be splashed with water.

Thankfully the large quantity of water splashed all over the TV did not disrupt it's vital functions although the video recorder was a little confused having eaten it's remote control /before/ the video was inserted...

The Captain
And the report from the Klingons(?)
A rainy Wednesday's night... and I and Stuart Campbell waited patiently for the Star Trekkers to arrive for their meeting. I had, of course, gassed the only entrance, but wanted the chance to inflict pain directly, preferably in a messy way.

As the time for the meeting to begin approached, Penelope Pitstop arrived, accompanied as always by Bandit. They took position inside.

Soon enough, PC Kelpie and Matthew Wakeling arrived. Wakeling was hauling a TV and was hence not a valid target. PC Gray however was not, and got her head sniped off for her troubles. Alarmed by the sudden nature of his companion's headless corpse collapsing to the ground, Matthew Wakeling abandoned the TV and drew a nasty-looking weapon. He attempted to cover the door, unaware that we were in fact somewhere *completely* different. He found this out when I shot at him. Unfortunately for me, my bullets fell short and he darted inside.

Unfortunately for him, bearing a large gun made it oh-so-easy for Penelope and Bandit to identify Mr. Wakeling and I am reliably informed that he died due to a single bullet-shot.

Foiled attempt

... Walking out of my room, 3 people standing there, ask me if I am me (one happens to show a supersoaker). They are very insistant. I was just on the way to the toilet, and as such, was unarmed (buy this didn't turn out to be a problem) These three fools, after repeatedly asking if I was the name on my door, and making it very clear what they were here for were fooled into looking for me in, what was a now packed college bar (which I had just left to get changed for the bop). I later saw them walking around Queens', clearly searching for me.

The Zombie finally becomes what he is...

"What a boring lecture," I thought, as I left my 9.00 and walked across New Museums, "the next one's going to be even more boring, but at least I have a can of coke and a Mars Bar. I'll still fall asleep though, so-"

-THUMP-

And as I picked myself up, it occurred to me that I am now *actually* a zombie - CoP Rich's dagger in my side was the give-away. Then several more police (who all had various reasons to want to kill me) appeared, and it was clear that even if I had been paranoid and put up a fight, I was still the victim of a carefully organised ambush.

Congratulations, penguins, I'm going to blame being half-asleep but we all know it's a lie.

Oh yeah, I should probably add some pretentious crap about my reign of terror being over, and all the people I killed, etc, but quite frankly, I don't think I was that terriifying. :)

But despair ye not. We are not forsaken and there is yet hope for the righteous of this land, for,

M. Le Blanc decides to wipe out an incompetent...

It was a lovely rainy day and as I wandered across the Sidgewick site I noticed a familiar looking figure leaving Classics.

"Could this be him?" I thought.
"Could this be the man I have been hunting?"
"Could it be that standing before me is Ashley Chisholm?"

Well as it turns out it was, having got a friend to confirm his identity, I proceeded to shoot him in the head, he didn't actually seem too surprised or bothered by the incedent so I thanked him for his co-operation and proceeded into the library, It's a shame that it wasn't more exciting, as all the stalking and espionage took up a lot of time and I had hoped for something a little more fun. Nevermind killing someone is still quite satisfying, I shall have to write home to France and tell everyone all about it.

A valid target is killed...

Hearing of a rumour of a murder in the heart of his college, PC Zordok sprung into action and was on the scene within the minute. However, even at this speed or reaction, he was still to late to catch the murderers. He was confronted by a body on the floor, and noticed one of the people was bearing some sort of gun. He shot him down on the spot. Unfortunately, the man bearing the weapon was an innocent (if you can call bearing a weapon innocent). The actual murderers had made a hasty exit...


The Lynx Effect exudes his last incompetent breath...

Deciding to rid the world of the incompetent Chris Croft-White, I, with a couple of associates, visited Queens' college late on Friday night. After a crucial tip-off, we were prepared to stake out the Queens' theatre, where we believed him to be carrying out important business backstage. Spotting him in the bar, however, summarily dispatched him as he attempted to return to the theatre. My associate made the first shot, but as he missed, the death of Croft-White was at my hands. Riddled with bullets, he expired in a seemingly nonchalant manner, crumpling with a carefree sigh. Apologies to any Queens' theatre-goers whose enjoyment of their play was marred by the fact their lighting technician was oozing redly in the middle of Cripps court at the time.

I proceeded to Michael Rayment's room and discovered it unlocked. Upon entering, I proceeded to take full advantage of the rules and contact poisoned everything in the style of the late, great, Captain Colgate. Deciding that the room could do with a more interesting colour scheme, I then painted his light bulbs with colourful evaporating poison. I trust that he has died or will do so soon upon his return. Or, at least, when he picks up his kettle, cafetiere, opens the fridge or drawers, switches on the lights or puts his shoes on.

The Orange influence dies...

Several police officers and myself proceeded to Market Hostel in order to remove the evil villain Adam Sibson. Entrance was gained easily, and we rapidly proceded to locate his room. The fool opened the door when PC Focus knocked, and several high velocity poison rubber bands were immediately launched towards him. Although near certain that one bounced off the wall and struck him in the face, Sibson appeared unharmed and began a protracted firefight. The disturbingly resourceful criminal launched several objects towards us, eventually culminating in an assault with a squeezy bottle. As PCs Focus and Sillence were cut down by this, the criminal took the opportunity to gloat. Whereupon his head was blown off.

Let this be a lesson to all.

Jonathan "Not in the slightest bit a criminal" Davies
And a more detailed report from the Agent himself...
This is a day of mixed feelings, Agent Orange perished to a lucky shot to the head after a long combat against superior numbers. I was innocently sitting in my room, reading a good book when somebody knocked on my door. Being rather tired and overworked I didn't exercise any caution so opened the door to say hello. Some varmit leaned around the corner and tried to pop a cap in my ass. No such luck, a hail of posioned rubber bands sailed past my head as I leaned slightly out of their path. With calm self control I told the would be assassin he missed and closed the door. I was up the proverbial shit creek without a paddle since as usual I had no weapons about. Time for some quick improvisation. The first weapon I tried was using a pair of gloves to pick up their rubber bands and fire them back but these didn't have the range against the four curs waterguns so I retreated and looked around again. The next weapon prototype was a lilt can filled with water which I attempted to fling water at them with, this was also somewhat lame so I again retreated after numerous rubber bands, darts and some odd hedgehog things which they assured me I couldn't fling back had been fired at me. I think that these police fellows need some target practice. My next weapon was a masterstroke but was used at the wrong time, had I saved it till my assult I might have killed all of them. The weapon was a small cardboard box filled with water, it sailed into the approximate area they occupied but they were damn lucky and din't die. More water and weapons of various forms flew at me to no avail. The next weapon was a winner, a cycling water bottle which when squeezed was as good as their silly water guns. I snuck along the corridor to where they were, (look out?) none of them any the wiser and killed two with a sweep. Another tactical withdrawal took me back to my room (a deadend incase I hadn't mentioned it). More fighting followed, I once more entered the corridor to see someone carefully collecting the weapons fired at me, gave the blighter a good squirt but they were already desceased and then got hit in the head with a stray blast of water, ahhh well, a good fight. As a last vindictive payback I would like to accuse the guy with the rubberband gun of killing two innocents since two of my friends picked up the bands to have a look. Well anyway, there is always next term.

A final police attempt on the Wanted Miyagi...

Four men, who offered forceful resistance to the police entering Mr. Miyagi's room and who then threw grenades and fired upon the police from his window, were killed in the ensuing firefight. Of signifigance one, substantially believed to be Miyagi, was shot in the chest at least twice. One of the four shot through the window had already been killed by the police for forcibly blocking the door with his body, so it seems that, since this guy admitted to being double-dead already, Mr Miyagi had spent his last few moments committing Necromancy repeatedly.
Miyagi's report:
Once again I have survived an attempt on my life. Today at around 6ish, someone came calling at my door. However, due to the fact that there were in fact several people in my room, it was my ex-comrade Taxi Driver Man who opened the door. He was confronted by two gentlemen (assassins or cops, i'm still not entirely sure) bearing heavy caliber weapons. After enquiring as to whether I was in, they then tried to gain entry on the pretense of official police business (ie by trying to force the door open). In the meantime, I seized my dispenser of toxic gas and sprayed over the top of the door. The only effect it seemed to have on my assaliants was to make them run away. They walked out of the building and proceeded to lurk very conspiciously in full view of my window (no doubt hoping to shoot someone through it). For me and my fellow comrades, this was too good an opportunity to miss, and so we spent the next 15 or 20 minutes enjoying ourselves by making rude gestures and hurling verbal abuse at them. I think a water bomb may also have been thrown. Taxi Driver Man then took things a little further by opening the window fully and then sitting in front of it, whilst taunting the assassins to "come and have a go if you think you're hard enough". In the meantime the rest of us were pissing ourselves with laughter. TDM's a little wet now but he's dead anyway. The mini siege finally ended when Taxi Driver Man threatened to climb down the wall and kick the crap out of them. They scampered away in fright leaving us with the parting shot, "I'll be back." I'm sure you will be. Anyway, apologies to the two cops/assassins involved, if they did take offense to what was being shouted at them. I think one of them looked as if he was about to cry. Sorry. Anyway, I'm sure they'll get through the trauma of it all. Eventually. With the help of lots of alcohol. (Speaking of which, if you're ever in Tit Hall bar, I'll buy you both a drink)

Cheers, Mr.Miyagi

PS - ex PC Wildthang was instantly recognised after he shouted, "come on then, I like to die!" Just thought I'd tell ya that.
