Hello,
I'm one of the On-Line Consultants. One of our more recent duties has
been to enforce the Athena usage priorities. Mostly, this means that
when clusters are busy, we're supposed to ask users who are playing
games to give up their workstations.
Today, you were asked twice to give up your workstation by another
consultant, and you didn't do it either time. Personally, I think
this is quite rude. There is a reason the consultant asked you to
give up your workstation, and I can tell you without any doubt that it
is not because she's on a personal crusade against game players. The
reason is because many users have attempted to get workstations in the
m1-142 cluster while you've been playing Nettrek. Please remember,
games are a low priority on Athena.
If you have any questions about this, before I call Athena Hotline to
have them remove you from your workstation, please do not hesitate to
ask. I'm working in the cluster right now; there is a sign that says
"consultant on duty" at my workstation.
Sincerely,
