For the spectators, this is the generic intro text the players received via PM:
Quote:
The last thing you remember is the sudden panic, the struggle, the rag reeking of chemicals clamped over your mouth and nose. Then... nothing. Until you wake up here. "Here" is a 10ft square cell; a cage, hanging in darkness. You can't see a floor beneath you, it's hidden in shadow. There is a dim light in the top of your cage, a tiny camp bed along one wall, a bucket in one corner, and a small pile of dried foodstuffs and bottled water in the opposite corner. The walls of the cage are made of up inch-thick steel bars, cold to the touch, and a few inches beyond the steel are mounted thick plexiglass sheets. The plastic is scuffed and stained with dirt and a dark brown substance. Air comes through a small vent in the ceiling. As your eyes adjust to the gloom, you begin to notice other cages hung around the space, shadowy figures in them moving around. You are not alone.
A loud beep. You start, heart hammering, and look under the bed to find a brand-new Nokia smartphone with a full charge. "1 SMS received" says the screen. Mouth suddenly dry, you click through to read the text. WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY A GAME?
The phone has two numbers in the phonebook. One for the credit check, "TWENTY SMS MESSAGES REMAINING, NO CALLTIME REMAINING" reports the computer. The other is simply labelled GROUP CHAT.
Also, this is so much fun to watch, it makes me want to hire a disused warehouse and round up some civilians.
