All the positive response I got from the ARS community regarding
my visit to the Chicago org this summer (where I got the L. Ron
Hubbard mousepad) inspired me to try do my share to bring entertainment
to all the critics here on ARS.

So here it is -- Devised in Norway, far away from the nearest
org/mission, by Alvin "Lost Soul" Brattli -- for your entertainment:
The official ARS game [Drumroll] ClamBust v1.0!
The rules are easy:
1. IMPORTANT!  Make sure you are immune to Scientology propaganda and
   hard sell techniques by reading alot of material critical of
   Dianetics/Scientology.  A good starting point would be the
   following URLs:
     http://www2.thecia.net/users/rnewman/scientology/home.html
     http://home.pacific.net.sg/~marina/index.html
     http://www.tiac.net/users/modemac/cos.html
     http://www.xs4all.nl/~kspaink/index.html
   Remember, the more you read, the more immune you get, and
   the more fun you will have playing this game!
2. Go to your nearest org or mission.
3. Start a conversation with a scientologist, and count the points
   as they keep coming!

Enjoy!
