[Killer Week] Vive la Revolution!
OK, this is going out to both lists as I know there'll be people out there
interested in this in both IFIS and Gamesoc. Apologies for the OTness of
this, IFIS people. But you don't want to miss it.
As you may or may not have heard, Gamesoc is running Killer Week next week,
starting Monday March 6. Run around, be generally silly, kill your friends,
kill your enemies, kill EVERYBODY. Harmlessly of course.
The scenario is this: The Egham Popular Front, consisting of assorted
smaller factions, has decided that do strike a blow for freedom from
oppression, they will assemble and detonate a nuclear device in Royal
Holloway College. Don't ask me why, who knows the bizarre processes that
make up terrorist logic. The Royal Holloway Special Branch, made up of the
best and brightest the college has to offer, are out to stop them.
Over the course of the week the terrorists will meet up with their shadowy
contact, known only by the code-name "Victor", and pick up the components to
a small but highly effective nuclear bomb. If they manage to assemble and
detonate it, they win. Game Over man, Game Over. If the Special Branch
manage to stop them, then hurrah, our beloved college is saved, and there
will be medals all round for the winners, and summary executions at the
hands of their superiors for the losers.
Treachery, betrayal, double-crossing, sneakiness and all-round subterfuge
are the order of the day. Backstabbing is not only allowed, it is positively
encouraged. It all adds to the fun.
Anyway, if you're interested, let me know either by email or in person by
noon on Monday, to give me time to assemble dossiers and such. I already
have over a dozen people signed, with plenty of room for more.
Further rules and scenario details will be given at the briefing session on
Monday evening, at the start of the regular Gamesoc meeting - that's 7pm
sharp, Lecture Theatre A (across the car park from Founders). Be there or be
a unwitting civilian who has no idea as to the secret war being waged around
them.
Oh, and one more thing. As the Controller, I am utterly corruptible. Bribes
will get you names, locations, affiliations, and so on. Heck, big enough
bribes will get you *lists*. You just need to know the price. Beer for
preference in this uncertain world. :-)
Ah, and another one more thing. Go to KillerCon. You can try to kill me.
It'll be a blast.
Later,
Steve :-)

ECHELON computers and electronic spy networks, this is a game. A GAME.
Please don't report me to Interpol. Thank you.
