The Umpire

This term's Umpire is Martin O'Leary of St John's College and may be contacted by emailing assassins@srcf.ucam.org.

The primary method of contacting the Umpire is through email, though players are welcome to visit. The Umpire's room is Room 3, 1 Madingley Road. No-one may be killed in the Umpire's room or immediately outside it, although the precise extent of this protection is yet to be determined. However, players are discouraged from running into the Umpire's house in order to escape an attacker. Should you burst into the Umpire's room gibbering about attacking assassins, he will sneer and call you a pansy.

Any queries about the game can be emailed to the Umpire, or you can visit (but you should probably try to arrange the meeting beforehand, since even the Umpire goes to lectures occasionally). Try to resolve any queries before they become a matter of life or death (yours or anyone else's).

Attempting to take items from the Umpire's pigeonhole or break into his computer account is strictly forbidden. Impersonating the Umpire is also forbidden.

Player-Umpire communications may be made public at the end of the game for everyone's enlightenment and amusement. If you do not wish a certain communication to be made public, please tell the Umpire.

The Umpire is immortal. Players attempting to test this proposition will be made wanted.
