RE: Contest. I will carry on setting things up and spreading the word.
I'll set up Two categories, TADS and Inform. If you want others, feel
free to organize them yourself. Finallized rules here in a few days.
The deadlines are still End of August, and Sept 15 for entering and
voting respectively. Anyone with prizes to donate let me know, so I can
compile a list for the winners to choose from. Also feel free to dictate
which 1/2 of the competition the prize is for. This list will be posted
to gmd sometime fairly soon.
There is only one rule now, as far as I'm concerned. Keep your game
under 2 hours long. Room limitations or whatever have been discarded in
favor of simplicity. No source is required, no walkthrough is required.
You may bundle anything you like with your game, just try to keep it
small. (and related to your entry, please.)
The judging will be people's choice, three votes, pick your favorite
three in each category where you've played all the games. An entry may
not be entered in both categories by porting it over. So nyah. Anyways,
that's it. I'm done. I'll just go have a lie down and a cold shower
now. Feel free to organize your own contest if you really hate these
rules. Just don't email me to tell me all about it, that's all I ask.
There, you have incentive. Now go write. Whee. (And there was much
rejoicing.) Yay.
