List the important elements in the por-- trait bbitriitekribelheirsignificance. Be

specific.
Left to right. Bill Bunten. Jim Rushing. Alan
Watson. Dan Bunten. Little Rock Bill, Jim, Alan,
and Dan created this game. Little Rock is the
capital of Arkansas. The lady and the dog have
requested anonymity.

12ne1bek?
They live there, yes.
Explain the role of carp-in-the lives of
_ ._. .
these men.

The role is metaphorical. When they are

stuck for an idea, they fish in Broadmoor Lake,
tititss the street from their offices. It is said
big carp live there. Often, when these men fish, an
idea comes to them. The carp do not.
Are thin really carmin

If there are, they
are safe.

leader. When there were changes in the program,

only he knew all of them. This gave him a certain
advantage which he called the abilitylo play
logically. The others called it cheating.

What about the others?

Only bits?

Jim claims he would not condescend to

engage in the cutthroat tactics of his cohorts.
This meant he usually lost. Besides, as the programmer of the group, he often got nailed while
worrying about bugs.
Alan seldom won or lost by a large margin.
When he did win, he acted like it was an accident.
Bill? Well, imagine the game being played by.
Vince Lombardi in a bad mood. Relentless selfinterest. The others hated him. There are scars.

They died so that M.U.LE. might live.

This caused some consternation on the

part of the four men. What was it?
For a while, they feared they had dried the
well, burned themselves out.They have since
determined that this is not true.

Is there any proof of that?

You will buy the proof in a future Electronic
Ms publication.

Yes. Very well.

After all, they-made the rules.

Locate Slick Willy's and discuss its

importance to the development -of-MAKE:
Slick's. A bar. Lithe Rock, They hung out there
whenever they had to make a trip to the post
office. Or mayoe it was vice versa. Like the lake,
another magical retreat.

-----

Will these men soon be rich? Keep your

answer short.
Maybe. But then, this is Arkansas. There's
nothing to spend it on. Anyway, they know there
are more important things.

Examples?
Crystite.

Yourtime is up.
Slick's.

Thank you.
And carp.

Do these men play M.U.LE. themselves

A TYPICAL FRIENDLY EVENING OF M.U.L.E.

DAD:
The Honest Pigeon.

We pick up our players during their sixth development.

ThAv will nInv twAlvp If thpir (ninny isn't sunnAssfill
by then, they face the prospect of a long, cold trip back
to Mother Earth. Which is fine for 11-year-old Charlie.
But Mom and Dad have to go to work tomorrow.

CHARUE:
The Stalker.

PlalAng the blue, he's about to install

a second MULE. to farm his river
land. (That's the M.U.L.E.viewed
from the backwith the long legs,
just northwest of the black town
grid.) This will give him an overwhelming surplus of foodif pest
attacks don't get to it first.

Playing the green, he suspects Dad's

got secret intentions of getting into
mining But Chadie's ready for him.
Before Dad has a chance to make his
move, Charlie's going to cripple him
by letting lots of M.U.LE.s loose,
driving up the price of Smithore.
Guess who owns all the Smithore.

Playing the red, she's about to get

out of mining and into energy
development. She will tell the others
she just wants to provide everyone
with lots of nice energy to keep the
game lively Silently, she's planning to
quadruple the price per kilowatt
and bring them all to their knees.

Playing the orange, he's making

mistakes left and right. He's unfortunately forgotten that food
doesn't grow in the mountains. He's
obviously a little slow during land
auctions. And even with 48K of
memory, he isn't smart enough to
catch the Wampus. Maybe he's just
trying to get his new family to like him.

MOM:
The Stalker of the Stalker.
