Here is the updated version of The Pole Game that was released in September 2007.

The new release includes controller support for either the mouse or the XBox360 controller attached to your PC, and "achievements" which can be unlocked by stalling the frosh in creative ways. If you unlock all of the achievements, we definitely want to hear from you.

While you're downloading the game (40MB), here are your 'cooks,' which you should study while you're waiting.  Check out the LegendWeb when you're done. 

If you aren't a member of the Queen's University community, you've got some catching up to do.  Maybe you should try the longer documentation here, which contains more backstory and a glossary. Then again, no matter how much you read at this point, this all probably isn't gonna make much sense.
