"One Must Fail"

You awake one morning and find a ransom note for your love, who is being held captive in the underworld. You have the IBM 5100 computer the note asks for. The only problem is delivering it. In person.

"Dear_____,
I have captured your love, ______, and have taken him/her to the underworld. His/her only hope is if you deliver an IBM 5100 computer to me, personally. However, the only way you can get here is by dying, yet touching the computer, which must be unscathed.

Sincerely,
John Titor"

You quickly consult your Boy/Girl Scout Manual on how to enter the underworld and you discover that you need to kill yourself in 6 simultaneous ways (or nearly simultaneous ways), or 5 simultaneous ways if you have earned a Darwin Award.

Note: Darwin Awards are available in this game, but they are not set in stone. In other words, you have to be creative and surprise us with a way to kill yourself.

Not too hard of a task. You just need to find weapons and such. Too bad you live in Safety Town.

If only the computer could withstand falls, flame, and water. Where to go. What to do...

The map is currently set up for 7 players, but we can take a few more players. Sign up while space is available.

Special thanks to Lepton, who helped with organization and will still be around for me to consult with.

Aw, nerts.

Say, is this John Titor the same John Titor who showed up on the Internet, claimed to be from the future, and then disappeared? Maybe this is some sort of trap, something to alter our timeline to his liking...

Or maybe it's just hard to come up with good ominous-sounding names.

It's part of our joke. Not ethe computer he wants. Lepton came up with it.

In other news, we need more signups!

Chuck · Daedalian Member

Great! Now we'll have to wade through congealing blood.

MatthewV · Daedalian Member :_

remember- you can get a darwin award without killing yourself. All you have to do is remove yourself from the gene pool in a creative manner.
