SPECIAL EDITION

The Conclave, and other top players, are getting very angry with a certain Captain.

Cryptosporidium has been playing Fed for about a month. When he first appeared, 
everyone did their best to help him, as they do all new players - it wasn't long before 
someone made him up to Captain, and he seemed to pick up the idea of the game very 
quickly.

Then he started to make a nuisance of himself by shooting people for no reason. This 
was annoying, but not worth getting upset about.

The JPs started to find him more than a little annoying when he cracked the code for 
the GM puzzle and then demanded large sums of money for the answer.

And now this obnoxious pipsqueak has the temerity to claim that he is the reincarnation 
of Pegasus!

This is a patent absurdity - Pegasus was certainly irritating but he knew just how far he 
could go, despite his reputation. Crapto's actions have proved he recognises no limits 
for his despicable behaviour.

He wishes us to think that he has inherited the awesome reputation of the legendary 
winged horse, but sad to say he just doesn't have the style to pull it off.

It is quite one thing to be a pest - Fed has seen many and no doubt will always be 
plagued with them - but by claiming to be someone he is not, Crapto has attracted the 
anger of all players.

As executor of Pegasus' estate, Pugwash is out for Crapto's blood, and the other high-
ranking players are fully behind her in her quest for vengeance. The Real Pegasus 
himself is also extremely angry at this imposter and may decide to make a come-back 
to deal with him.

In the meantime, I can only urge all players to try and wipe out this blemish on our 
wonderful game, before he destroys utterly the friendly atmosphere that we have built 
up so carefully over the past year.
