Not a UA game hopefully? ;-) But yes, the period is quite interesting.
Should you need any information on it, I'll be happy to help.

That just reminds me of a story I've read somewhere (you started it ;-)). I
have a feeling it would fit in with the disturbing nature of UA (well it's a
nasty little tale, let me tell you). I personally was very "unconfortable"
reading it and my girlfriend, wouldn't you know it, found it hilarious. I
guess it's something only a man can freak out about. And sorry if it was
already discussed.

It happened in Germany if I remember correctly. A 28 year-old man was
accused of trying to cheat an insurance company into paying him twenty five
thousand DM. His story? - he was in his appartment one night, reading when
all of a sudden his door was broken in. A band or infuriated women barged
into his room, shouting obscenities and swinging knives. They grabbed the
poor guy, tied and beat him up and then... castrated him, flushed his
private parts down the toilet and dissapeared into the night.

Very disturbing.

The judge (why do I have a feeling it was a she? ;-)) ruled against the man.
He/she decided the story was bogus, and it was an act of self-mutilation.

Right. Well I don't know about you but I would never do "that" for measly
twenty five thousand. No way, no sir.

Still, I find something could be made of the knife-wielding, man-castrating
bunch in an UA setting.
