==About bouchercomp==
The sixty-third Speed-IF, called bouchercomp, informally ran from May 27th to June 1st, 2008.
katre [ John Cater ] 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 [ Tyson Boucher ] tells us that his disconnect was inspired by this sketch
[ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drv7zZuruxg ] 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.
