your target may be out-of-bounds.

A computer room is, in general, defined as a place where the public (or any
clearly-defined group, e.g. members of a college) are permitted to use
computers. Computer rooms which occupy a completely separate room inside a
library count as computer rooms and so are in bounds outside office hours. Rooms
which function as both computer rooms and libraries count as libraries.
A Player's room is usually only out-of-bounds for supervisions, society
meetings and sports activities, as described above. If you believe your room
should be made out-of-bounds for any other purpose, or are unsure as to its
status, you should ask the Umpire.
Players should not abuse no-kill zones. You may not take a suspicious letter
into a no-kill zone and open it in safety.
If you are not sure whether a given time or place is out of bounds or not,
please contact the Umpire. Similarly, if there is something not mentioned on
this list you think should be out-of-bounds, ask the Umpire to consider it.
