They are, right? Please...? ;) An assassin has taken up residence in my room, and far from being a willing accomplice, I'm quite innocent. Now I can hardly be accused for opening the door to my own room every morning, right? Should I be blown up, the evil wrongdoer who did it should be punished, yes? And even if I would then be killed as an alleged accomplice, I would by necessity still have to keep on opening my own door - that so? So no bombs on me door, right? :) Good luck, Paivi "Concerned Citizen" Pasi Ps. If the thing about the bombs and non-players is still in the rules, feel free to 'RTFM' me...

Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2004 23:27:05 +0000 From: #####@cam.ac.uk To: assassins@srcf.ucam.org Subject: fake fake wallet-bomb Hi! [Note: this is not intended for publication in the news] My fellow assassin Vilhelm and I found a wallet in the King's computer room an hour ago. It turned out that it belonged to Philip Bridge, another King's assassin. If we had had him as a target it would have provided the ideal excuse for knocking on his door. Since was not we decided that it would be too risky to deliver it him personally as we might get shot anyway. However we felt that it would be a shame not to make anything out of the occasion. So we prepared it as a fake fake wallet-bomb by putting a cap-detonator in the coin compartment, together with a note signed by "the minister of minions" declaring it to be a fake wallet-bomb. Which it was not, since the cap in the detonator was already detonated, making it a fake fake. It should still wind him up a bit though. I hope that you don't mind that we did this without consulting you beforehand, but it would after all have been unethical to hold on to his wallet for too long. I also hope that Philip doesn't get suspicious enough about who might have sent it to him to shoot me on sight. Perhaps I should send him an e-mail afterwas explaining that it was not a serious attempt. But then again how sincere will that sound... Johannes
Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2004 14:35:23 +0000 (GMT) From: "P.O. Bridge" <#####@hermes.cam.ac.uk> To: The Umpire <assassins-umpire@srcf.ucam.org> Subject: No rest in peace for the wicked I went to the post office today to send a letter home, and when I opened my wallet to pay the man, what do you think fell out but a cap-detonater? I assumed it was a (weak) pratical joke played by one of my friends, but on closer inspection later, I found it was in fact armed, albeit with a dud cap, and someone styling themselves 'The Master of Minions' had left an all too familiar disclaimer in my wallet. Poor old Master. Not only did his ingenious attempt on my life fail, but I was of course already dead when all this happened. Still, I would like to thank him for graciously not stealing all my money when he had my wallet - a true gentleman. There aren't many people as honest as that in the world. Well, certainly not in the Assassins Guild anyway.
Subject: About that attempt I reported on Sunday... From: Alex Labram <#####@cam.ac.uk> To: assassins@srcf.ucam.org Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2004 22:25:58 +0000 You know I said that someone knocked on my door? I now know exactly who it was cos she did it again. One of my friends had decided to mildly torment me at moments of greatest tension, i.e. on the first day and immediately after I've been made wanted. I hope she signs up to the guild and ends up on my kill list. Grrr Oh yes, and after I shot James I went to try and kill a target, Jack Berk. Needless to say, he wasn't in. I find this slightly ironic in a dark, fin-de-siecle kind of way. Alex

They hang around together, are both in my lectures, so leave at the same time, their staircase isn't easily lurkable in a way thats not blatantly obvious, they are friends with the Jonian mathmos who know me quite well so its difficult to hang around close and hope for name dropping. My tractable Jonian who I was relying on to tell them apart for me is ill and unavailable. I know which two they are.. just not who's who!

Subject: Re: Jar-Jar From: Jonathan Hogg <#####@cam.ac.uk> To: paulsmith@##############.com Date: Tue, 03 Feb 2004 09:41:00 +0000 I'm afraid that official police policy percludes police officers from neither confirming nor denying the status of suspects in ongoing murder enquiries. However, should vigilanties take the law into their own hands and kill someone without reasonable cause they will be made wanted for murder and then shot.

Also, can I register a hook. The squirrelly thing has large rusty nails sticking out of it at strategic points and is supposedly 99% aspestos. The real evil kind. The hook is extremely sharp and can rip cows to shreds with one sweep. It is coated with poison made from Amazonian frogs and is made from a highly unstable isotope of plutonium - guaranteed to cause you cancer if nothing else. So yes, they're both safe. Cheers, Michael

Firstly, in case anyone hadn't spotted what happened last night, trusting Ross Edmonson is hazardous to your health. Be wary but he can't actually do anything to you unless you're baring weapons, so don't worry about him for the moment. The following need our attention Lee Lewin Girton A32 Studies Natural Sciences (biological). Michael Mann Christ's C4 Ariane Standing Girton F3a Studies Natural Sciences (biological). Now for those new to the list, I will allow police not to be declared corrupt if they tell me immediately of any allegiances they have with wanted/inco/corrupt people, and they're helping with other stuff. Some people have requested this; however Michael Mann has no friends it seems. So any info you have about him, share here.

Adam Baird Fraser is considering taking him out with a poisoned pint; unfortunately police aren't allowed to do that trick. On the other hand, Kat can't kill anyone who's not baring weapons. That said, I'm not sure I trust Adam. If he wanted to go wanted, taking out a SWAT team would give him a good chance. For anyone who doesn't know what Kat looks like, see http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~odb22/ (he's not the crazy guy with the hair in the bottom picture, believe it or not he's the sorry excuse for an umpire we have round here <fx: remembers Adam is on this list> and a very good job he does too :) Anyone interested?

We didn't see any we liked so we decided to go visit my targets. I left notes for both of them (not poisoned). Then we went to Selwyn and crashed their Halfway Bop, at which I shot an innocent for waving Kat's Joe Devils around. We then crashed the Kat/Cats and drank alcohol and ate pringles. Then we came home. Reports follow: ---begin: note for Victoria Kowolkolski??? (Report as "The King")--- (22.30) My target appeared to be asleep so I left a note for them. Hopefully they'll die of fright. ---end--- ---being: note for Lauren Grest (Report as Michael Cripps)--- (22.50) I was getting bored of so little assassin-interaction in my life that I decided to visit one of my assassins [am I allowed to say that?] in the hope of making them fight me. I pushed a letter under their door and waited 10 minutes but no sign! So I ran away. ---end--- Thanks, mate Mike

Bryony is known to be a mathmo. She is known to do Treasure TRap [LARP] which is on _tonight_, starting about 7-8pm and finishing 10.30-11.30pm description: Bryony is quite short, with long brown hair which is quite feral in nature. We have recieved reports of contact poison and bombs being used by her. Be careful while approaching her house, it is a buzz in system, she can probably shoot you from a window above. Also on her street is Chris Field, a lazy but competent assassin. Her girlfriend is coming to visit this weekend I believe, and they will probably be going out to a curry restaurant on saturday, though these plans may now change. -- Assassins' Guild Police Mailing List Queries: soc-assassin-managers@lists.cam.ac.uk

I suppose everyone runs into bad luck now and again. I hope the brevity of your criminal career was enough to convince you that you prefer being nice. Otherwise you might have to be the evil one and I'd have to be the good one. Wouldn't you hate that? I know I would. I'm very sorry not to have seen you recently, but you must know as well as I do how busy we've both been. I'm sure you haven't forgotten me though. I certainly haven't forgotten you. Love as always, Byrony xxx ____ *grin* Don't know if its worth putting it up on the site - its not directly relevant to the current game, and its hard to tell if someone is cackling wildly to themselves on IRC. I just need a cunning way to discover everyones handwriting... main suspects currently are J Doe, then Simon Ford (simply because he was in the right place at the right time..) gah! I will hunt them down!

What are your thoughts on this matter? I am a tad bit worried: Is he likely to go corrupt? Am I likely to explode? Cheers, -David

Subject: Open Season suggestion
A suggestion to speed up the game- how about we all meet up under safe
conditions? That would probably increase the chances of deaths occurring,
as we could recognise one another.
Of course, it might remove a serious advantage to some of you, but I don't
think any of you is really totally anonymous. In my opinion the game comes
into its own when you know what everyone else looks like, and what is left
is to be the most alert and quickest on the draw.
What do you think?
Happy hunting to all of you,
Jenny
