Re: Inform Competition ?!!

Actually, I think this would be a good idea. I don't know
what the prizes should be (perhaps a US$5.00 entry fee and the winner
takes the pot?) but if someone lays down the rules, it might be good as
a monthly sort of thing. Or it could just be for fun...

So what should the rules be? Lets think of a few -

-The Game must have at least three but no more than 8 rooms.
-There must be a "win" state - ie. a way to finish, not just
wander aimlessly.
-It must be able to be finished in under two hours by an average
player, versed with IF.
-It must be written with Inform.

And it should be judged on:

-Originality (of story, of execution, of puzzles)
-Amusement Quality
-Style (ie. writing quality, or ability to convey a mood)
-Something else quantifiable

Now we just need someone to organize it and run it. If anyone has any
suggestions or comments, post or email me. I'd love to hear Graham's
opinion on all of this
