| [BUREAUCRACY STUFF, typed in by Eric Cote (cotee@jsp.umontreal.ca) | |
| There are some things missing from the instructions of the game | |
| Bureaucracy in LTOI2 that were included in the original package. | |
| Among them, some stuff from the Popular Paranoia advertisement, | |
| and also the Beezer card application form in triplicata. | |
| Here is what you've been missing: ] | |

| [From the instruction manual] | |
| A NOTE ABOUT MAPPING | |
| In most text adventures, players are advised to draw a map of the game's | |
| geography as they explore its locations. Mapping is a useful and sometimes | |
| essential way to to learn how to get from one place to another. | |
| However, ther are two places in _Bureacracy_ where mapping will not help. | |
| One such place is the Airport; like airports in real life, the airport in | |
| _Bureaucracy_ is a cartographer's nightmare but a bureaucrat's dream. | |
| The other location where mapping is pointless is in the numbered rooms | |
| in the Jungle. (Don't ask what numbered rooms are doing in a jungle; | |
| just take our word for it that you don't want to map that area.) | |
| Players who throw caution to the wind and insist upon mapping the Airport | |
| and the Jungle will miss the entire point of those areas. Such players | |
| deserve the fate that awaits them. (Everyone else does _not_ deserve | |
| the fate that awaits them.) | |

| Fillmore [Fillmore Logo] | |
| Fiduciary | |
| Trust Est. 1907 | |
| Dear Bank Customer, | |
| As a valued credit cardholder and customer here at Fillmore Fiduciary | |
| Trust, you are well aware of the advantages and convenience offered by your | |
| Beezer card. | |
| Now that you're moving to a new home, we invite you to move up to a card | |
| that offers even more. A card that is recognized in every major city in | |
| the world, where it immediately marks you as a person of distinction. I'm | |
| speaking, of course, of the Fillmore Better Beezer card. | |
| Before we go any further, I should mention that this invitation is not | |
| extended to most people - only to those special few who are successful, | |
| confident, and deserving of extra courtesy and personal attention. People | |
| like you. | |
| Just think of all the occasions you'll find to use your Fillmore Better | |
| Beezer card as you settle into your new community. It will make an | |
| eloquent impression each time you present it to settle a bill. And the | |
| $10,000 credit limit will provide you with the financial flexibility you | |
| need - a flexibility that Fillmore Fiduciary Trust is proud to provide. | |
| To accept this offer, simply complete and sign the enclosed application | |
| form. Please use only the pencil provided and bear down hard as you will | |
| be making three copies. Do not separate the copies. You can trust | |
| Fillmore Fiduciary Trust. | |
| When you have completed the form, deliver it to the branch office where | |
| where you originally acquired your Fillmore Beezer card. To better serve | |
| you, we do not accept applications through the mail. There is no need to | |
| include the $150 annual fee with your application, since it will appear on | |
| your first Fillmore Better Beezer card statement. | |
| We thank you for your continued association with Fillmore Fiduciary Trust | |
| and look forward to serving you in your new community. | |
| Yours truly, | |
| Mitch [signed] | |
| Mitchell O'Connor | |
| Vice President for Financial Services | |

| [Also included with the package is a really tiny pencil, (1/16 | |
| inch wide) and the triplicate form that follows. LTOI2 only prints | |
| the first page of the form. BUT, in the original package, all three | |
| pages are different, and really funny. | |
| Questions 3, 7, 11, 14 (first part), 16 and 17 are shaded | |
| on the three forms. (The signature space is also shaded out.) You'll also | |
| notice that the form is full of inconsistencies. (Not my errors, but theirs.) | |
| Remember that when you filled out quesion X on the first page, it also | |
| printed your answer X on the two other forms, since it's made of carbon | |
| paper. Enjoy the humor!] | |
