Nice to hear from you, Kjetil. Torbjorn Brenden mentioned you once - do you
know where he is nowadays?

Anyhow the big news is that KJC have apparently bought the licence for It's
A Crime! from ABM and will set Steve Fairbrother to work on it right away.
This is a good thing - as Quest players will know, Steve knows what he's on
about when it comes to PBM programming. Presumably they'll be spending time
fixing some of the bugs (negative guns and dope and all the bugs in the mob
level routines: those kooky charts, the +/- inversion of defence level
changes in NYCP reports after Terrorise orders etc.) then they'll get to
work on the new scenario. This is exciting!

Future KJC games of Crime! will feature a limit of 100 and not 500 players
and obviously a smaller map (with appropriate changes to the boss routines
with regard to number of loyal gangs allowed, how many bosses are chosen
etc.) I think this is an exciting prospect as particularly if they make the
boss start date sooner still Crime! could become a really snappy game once
more. Here's hoping that this will entice some of you Gulset PBM Club guys
from Skien for more "Rumbles in the Jungle" with PAul King and his posse...

Smiles! Chris.
