Ivy reports:
Bloody misnumbered rooms!
Leader of the People's Democratic Kakistocracy reports:
I was out early, but only to Parker's Piece. On the way back I saw bryony coming round the corner, waited and then bang killed her. After there was much telling her off for being silly in not packing properly the night before.
Leader of the People's Democratic Kakistocracy reports:
I attacked a gaggle of geese out of sheer frustration at a certain person, in hope that somehow she would find out and come chase me ;). Sadly they seemed immune to my supersoaker, it was like water off of a er.. goose's back.
Leader of the People's Democratic Kakistocracy reports:
I am adding this event, as they can't, and I am fairly sure it happened.
The Dead Pirate Roberts reports:
This was at about 9:20, I think - since I was supposed to be there for 9:30, and was actually early.
Anyway, we both got to the same wrong place, and I stabbed him with Fluffy.
Leader of the People's Democratic Kakistocracy reports:
And so following Bryony to the LARPmobile location, I spotted Maz who benignly walked up to me. I didn't know how powerful is own gun was, so I got him rather wet.
It's Fathers' Day this Sunday reports:
Walking along the Backs to meet other people going LARPing, I see Bryony and my darling husband walking towards me, the latter carrying my CPS 1500. Surely he wouldn't shoot me with my own weapon just before I go on a long car journey?
At least I had my towel with me.
Leader of the People's Democratic Kakistocracy reports:
He was already dead. Bah.
Leader of the People's Democratic Kakistocracy reports:
Look who pulls up in a car. I kindly ask him to surrender. He throws a soft toy at me which falls at my feet. Bang. That finished off the LARPers..
The Dead Pirate Roberts reports:
Sooooooo close. Didn't quite wind the windoe down far enough to fit Fluffy through. Ah well.
Also, this bang-kill was made with an RBG, since I thought it reasonable to declare my car a no-water zone.
Leader of the People's Democratic Kakistocracy reports:
After phoning Rosie to find out where she was, I couldn't help but go to see her. And backstab her. My only chance to kill her ever I feel, so it was fun :).
The Revenge of the Second Coming of the Ninja Neo-Shadow-Teppic reports:
Bastard! No kill on Caius property indeed.
The entirely innocent Ric Brackenbury reports:
I was helping Kirsty get her stuff into the car, and was wandering back to get another load when I ran into Bjorn and Jenny.
Jenny suggested that 5h4k35p34123 1n 1337 shot me to get me out of the way, which after some hesistation he did.
I've got to say I think it's really bad form to do that, to have someone else take down potentially troublesome innocents to give someone else a clear run. Shame on them both-they're better than that.
Alastair Campbell reports:
As a potential accomplice for Kirsty the illegal non-player Ric was a potentially going to become a legal non-player soon when we spotted him. A brief discussion ensued as to whether I should shoot him.
The devil on the left shoulder reports:
He'll tell Kirsty where we are! Shoot him!
The angel on the right shoulder reports:
He's a non-player... It's just Ric.
The devil on the left shoulder reports:
Exactly, it's Ric!
5h4k35p34123 1n 1337 reports:
*BANG*
The Umpire reports:
Inciting violence towards non-players is rather naughty.
The inciter shall henceforth share the perpetrator's penalty.
Don't do it again.
The entirely innocent Ric Brackenbury reports:
I followed 5h4k35p34123 1n 1337 and Jenny, and they ran into The Tigerbunny of Dhooom!!! outside her room with a large box. To her credit she ran away. Respecting my not very alive status, I didn't follow, but it seems that she made a decent attempt to get away, but eventually got shot by 5h4k35p34123 1n 1337. I'm sure she can fill in the details later.
Her door had been open for over an hour, by the way.

The Dhooomed Tigerbunny!!! reports:
Alas, I fear this one may have been inevitable - I only saw the terrible duo as they entered my corridor so I quickly dropped the box of heavy books I was carrying, turned tail and ran!
5h4k35p34123 1n 1337 followed me to the next corridor where we had a bit of a standoff with me in a kitchen, after a bit I kamikazeed towards him and got a soaking for my troubles.
Ah well - at least my final hour in Cambridge this year wasn't boring! (I write this from the murky depths of Norfolk)

Victor Fries reports:
I saw Chris with his CPS 1500 and I saw Xanth with his XP 270. In retrospect it might have been best to kill Chris and get shot by Xanth, but at the time I thought I could kill both of them if I attacked them from behind. In fact that should have worked if it hadn't been for the subtle AbF, who was following them without carrying any big guns.

Ivy reports:
Damn, had to get out there killing without a necrophilia break.
Leader of the People's Democratic Kakistocracy reports:
As there was some debate on channel, during which I was not present, I shall explain what happened (not in l33t).
Xanth, Abf and myself were basically walking around town trying to find Jenny or Bjoern, and I figured that as my results had literally just gone up, going via the senate house would be a good idea. I was a few steps ahead of them, still a few metres from the gate when Bjoern leapt out, shooting Xanth and then Abf (after being hit by Abf of course). I was completely untouched, and as his run came to a stop it was obvious the encounter was over, however I feared that Jenny herself would be nearby, and I didn't want to have to be there long, so at that point I ran swiftly into the senate house, spoke to the dead/killers through the fence just to clarify who got whom first, and then got my result. I did not run straight into the senate house as soon as I saw Bjoern, and on his part, lurking *just outside* OOB areas is highly discouraged I believe? An attack down the street would seem acceptable, but right next to the entrance is most mean.
Can't Stop The Rock reports:
As reports for this seem to be somewhat important, I've been asked to put up something from my view.
I can't remember where the three of us were eventually headed at the time, but we decided to stop by the Senate House so that ^Nightwing^ could check his results, which had just been published half an hour earlier.
Enter Bjorn, quick firefight, kills and such. ^Nightwing^ was still outside the Senate House after Bjorn was killed, so I suggested that he went to check his results. The four of us had a short conversation, Bjorn left, ^Nightwing^ checked his results, and then I left AbF and ^Nightwing^ for TCR.
Ivy reports:
Saw her wandering up the corridor in front of me. She drew an RBG, I drew a Storm, she made to run off.
It seemed rather a waste of time to chase each other round the corridors we both know rather well, so we agreed a no-kill, had a chat and passed each other on the corridor instead.
The Umpire reports:
Bang kill with a CPS in a no water zone?
Controversial, but by weight of precedent I'm going to let it stand.
Also, I'm a muppet and I apologise to all those involved.
Leader of the People's Democratic Kakistocracy reports:
I will post the report I would have written before all the controversy, which I am very sorry to have caused. Perhaps in future we can make a strict ruling.
Essentially the plan from the very beginning of the day was to either scare Jenny into coming out to kill, and then hopefully getting her, or alternatively kill everyone I can find to overtake her. I figured the latter was more likely and had an elaborate pretend-Jenny-sighting setup in which I would be able to get the key players. Instead, someone actually saw her! So I met up with AbF, and after the events by the Senate House I was sure I had his trust. So we wandered around, realising that Jenny probably wasn't out and had just sent Bjoern to do the dirty work so that she could reap the points later. Eventually through some gentle coaxing I persuaded AbF to get to Simeon's place, where he let us both in, and with the pair of them finally together in the same room I took my chances and bang killed them (yes with the CPS but that point is now null). I apologised for being a complete bastard, felt really really evil and ran off to meet friends for lunch. Sorry again!
The Umpire reports:
likewise
Ivy reports:
I lurked above his room, on the stairs, listening to people talking in the room until I heard the door open. Then I ran down and shot the last person in the room, who was on the phone. He seemed quite nice.
Ivy reports:
Came round a corner at the same time as Adrian, saw his disc launcher, drew and we bang-killed simultaneously at near-zero range. So we duelled. The disc launcher was surprisingly alarming in its randomness, but it ran out of shots and I hit both him arms and killed him.
Ivy reports:
Adrian had been about to duel nikilla, who he said would be disappointed. I offered to take his place, having killed him, and so we did. Once again my firepower massively outranged hers, and she died. Then she kindly let me out the back gate onto the street (possibly I should have looted her corpse for the key, but that would have been most disturbingly impolite).
nikilla reports:
i am going to have to get myself a new weapon, the water pistol for all it's cowboy intricicy has a very short range.
The Prinny Squad reports:
There's not a lot you can do to avoid a kill when your roommate decides to let people into your room for the express purpose of shooting you, while you're half dressed having just gotten up. Morally, I don't count this as a death.
Leader of the People's Democratic Kakistocracy reports:
After executing Dave, Lauren eventually arrived on the pretence that I would wander around town with her. Sorry for more betrayal!
Ivy reports:
Queen of Cool had seen me go into Emma some time previously, and was lurking the front gate with a rubber band in a spirited attempt to catch me going out. However, after leaving via the back gate and idling down the side of Parkers Piece, I came out in front of her and her band missed as I charged her with my supersoaker. I was impressed at the effort though.
Ivy reports:
Swanky futurecareers garden party advertised in his online diary. I persuaded the suited doorman to let me check he was in there, then I had to buy a ticket to shoot him.
This kill came with free (and nice) champagne, and there was a Yak there who wouldn't let me leave without drinking. So I bought Bjoern a ticket, and on a completely empty stomach got mildly sozzled before moving out.
/and you realise you can't make it anyway/
Pavanne of Loathing reports:
Posh garden party! <insert sketch of stick person with champagne>.
You lose £10
You gain 7 points
You gain 14 drunkeness
Leader of the People's Democratic Kakistocracy reports:
Went to see if Kow/Carrie/Adam were in Mem Court. Only managed to find Carrie who wasn't being lame enough to just let me in for a chat. She did however kindly report on events on channel and with the scores, opening the window just enough to talk to us. Just enough was sadly too much as I leapt forwards and shot her muchly. Sorry Carrie!
The Revenge of the Second Coming of the Killer Ninja Neo-Shadow-Teppic reports:
Bastard again!
Leader of the People's Democratic Kakistocracy reports:
Went back to Rosie's, who wasn't being particularly cautious. Making a racket and then hiding resulted in a bit of a firefight on the stairs but I took out her arm and then finally got her.
Leader of the People's Democratic Kakistocracy reports:
He had been helping me all day, but I was stupidly desperate. As he left me in his room, heading for DDR, I held him at gunpoint to explain I was sorry he had to lose more points, then shot him. Sorry once again.
Leader of the People's Democratic Kakistocracy reports:
Just after betraying Xanth, Chronos was inevitably next. I am sort of alone for a few hours now though.. eek!
Deuce reports:
I was walking back through town after getting some last-minute supplies for the ball tonight when I spotted an oblivious, easy target and an Umpire across Benet Street. To be fair, this time I did actually see Lucie before Ed, but she didn't appear to see me. And so in a textbook manoeuvre I took out my gun, wandered across the street, waved it in her direction and muttered "bang".
It's Fathers' Day this Sunday reports:
Tom suggested we agree not to kill each other until we reached Ennerdale Scout Camp in Cumbria, so we didn't.
Bryony and Snapdragon didn't arrive until a couple of hours later, unfortunately.
Deuce reports:
I noticed upon my return that Wei Xu was still alive and killing him would raise my score to above fifty for the first time in ages, and wandered to Pembroke. However he revealed upon opening the door that he had been killed only a minute earlier by Simeon, which was a bit of a shame.
Ivy reports:
\Fires burn at midnight/
We staggered champagne-drunk through the streets in search of kills. Locky must be coming home from work soon, we must lurk heeem! So I did, in his garden, while his housemate made encouraging and understanding remarks and let me use their toilet. And Bjoern lurked Harvey Road.
Zombie Locky reports:
There are several reasons why I would be nowhere near my house at 5.45 on the last day.
1) Work nominally finishes at 5.30 but I don't usually leave until 5.45 anyway, and the cycle ride home takes 20 minutes when I'm not in a hurry. 2) My bike was broken and at work, so it would have taken nearly an hour to get back on foot or by bus. 3) As it was, I didn't leave work until 6.15 because the roller shutter at work broke and I stayed behind to co-ordinate its repair. 4) Why would I go straight home when it would be infinitely preferable to go into town and get assassins who are trying to win the game in the last hour or so?
As it was, I didn't get into town until easliy 7.30, where I bumped into Chris Field, David Birch and Xanth as soon as I stepped off the bus. They seemed disappointed that they didn't find me earlier.
Brian Eats Brains reports:
I just want the record to show I did survive one attempt this term. Though he wasn't really trying...
Leader of the People's Democratic Kakistocracy reports:
By survived, he means sat outside the door until I let him run off. But good diplomacy Phil ;).
Deuce reports:
Having given up all hope of even doing respectably by about Tuesday, I had previously asked the channel whether I should kill Dr.Evil. Channel said "YES!" I hadn't seen him around for a few days but wanted to get him before the game ended. Out of deference to his non-player status my intention was not to soak him but merely to shoot him with 24 rubber bands. Unfortunately, he was out, so my cunning, illegal attempt failed.
Leader of the People's Democratic Kakistocracy reports:
Dave was playing DDR in Flying_O's room, I shot off both his arms, then his legs and watched him slowly die of blood loss as he danced to the very end!
The Prinny Squad reports:
Damnit! While I was in midair?
Ivy reports:
Driven to it by backstabbing Caians.
Always foiled by their backstabs.
For surviving most of the game with a bounty on his head Christopher Eggleston gets 10 bonus points. Not exactly what I had in mind, but well done to him anyway.
