For those interested in implementing a multi player rogue, I suggest you
look at the recent proceeding of the 4th conference on distributed systems
(held in SF, CA).  There is a paper by D. Cherlton and some one else (maybe
a spelling error as I don't have them myself) on a game called Amaze
which was implemented using the distributed V kernel developed at Stanford.
It was done using SUN workstations and the paper won the best paper
award for the conference.

On the holiday effect:  I play rogue (5.3) on 1 VAX 750, and three different
VAX780s.  One VAX780 (with an RP07) seems to have a particularly difficult
game.  I am frequently killed on level 1 by things like bats when just
starting out, more so than the other machines.  The disk and 8 MB of core
are the only things which distinguish this machine for the others
(the rest have RA81s or equvalents).  This happens any day, not just
holidays.
