How can LV win the war in three weeks

Details, details! This is why I never became a professional 
programmer. This thread does demonstrate, however, the potential of 
open-source code. In one week we could probably design between us the 
ultimate, fail-proof, world-conquering Imperius virus. <snip>

Correcting all these bugs that you and others were quick to point 
out, I can see that the elegance of the original 3 directions in my 
Imperius Virus v.1.0 won't last a day. What we need is a sub-program. 
We could write all the complex directions on a peace of parchment, 
and put also a picture of LV in it, and of course pictures of all his 
henchmen. Then all we need to do is to give this parchment to the 
first imperio'ed wizard and order him to follow the directions in it. 
The directions in the parchment will look something like:
 ----------------------------
 1. Be a good servant of the Dark Lord (see Fig. 1).
 2. ...
 3. ...
 <a long list of directions and conditions here>
 .
 .
 37. Photocopy this parchment, give it to the wizard you imperio'ed 
 and order him to follow the directions in it.

I doubt that LV owns (owned) a photocopier and besides, he died (will
die) in June 1998 (the end of Book Seven). Either that or the WW has
been destroyed and we Muggles are next. <wicked grin>
