Bouchercomp

The sixty-third Speed-IF, called bouchercomp, ran from May 27 to May 28 or so, 2008. katre declared his intention to write a speed-if game based on boucher's current ifMud disconnect message, and other people said "oh, is there a speed running?" and wrote some games too.

P.S.: boucher tells us that his disconnect was inspired by this sketch on The State.

Premise

</boucher> No one has ever escaped from Lowell Prison. Why? Because there's only two ways out of here. One is dead in a pine box, and the other is that big wide-open gate over there, which I ask you seriously to please, please stay away from.
