Jun,
You might keep in mind the fairly inflammatory conversations in this
group last summer when the competition was first proposed. I suppose
we're a contentious group, but the competition went ahead successfully.
We all enjoyed it, too. And then the conversations heated up again as we
discussed what we like and disliked and why. We're a family and this is
what happens in a family.
There have been quite a few valid concerns raised that would need to be
answered before you or Jason or anyone else could go ahead with this kind
of a project.
On the other hand, something like this would seem to be a really good
thing (is that a (tm) to whizzard?) for spreading IF to a larger group --
people who have not heard of IF or think it died with Infocom. Perhaps
you (and Jason and anyone else interested in this type of project) should
stick around awhile and listen, answer any questions, correct any
misperceptions before going away in a huff.
