As I started this posting, it is probably right that I finish it, so on \
behalf of everyone interested..... LETS DOOOOOO IT !!!
Sorry, I didn't mean to shout, I'm just a little excited.
May I suggest that the first entries are in by the end of June, or do you
all think that is a little too soon ? I suppose I have a slight advantage of
having a piece almost completed, but it has only taken me about four days
so far (and not full days at that), so I personally don't think a month is
asking too much.
Most of the rules mentioned so far seem very reasonable. I know I first
said it was to be an Inform competition, but that was primarily because I
write using Inform rather than TADS, but mainly because of the freeware and
portability aspects, but I now think it fair to let you any entries so long
as they can be executable on the main systems. It may be worth mentioning
that it is your own interest to get as many people playing your IF as
possible. That way you have the chance of gaining more votes.
Which leads us on to scoring. May I suggest setting up a competition thread
where anyone can place their top (say) three votes. These votes can then be
added up after the voting period expires (say one month after the closing
date). I personally think aprize isn't really necessary; the exposure and
fame resulting from such a prestigeous event will be reward enough !!
Before we (I ?) ask Volker to go ahead are there any questions/problems/
objections ??
