Howdy, howdy, howdy:
First of all, it's been a great year for the competition. A whole slew of
entries, and most of them really good. We had some really bizarre entries,
which I always love to see, and we had a good voter turnout (60 votes, 8 of
which were for the Miss Congeniality vote.) Promoted! was the only game
that did not receive enough votes to qualify for prize competition,
presumably due to its choice of OS.
I haven't done the prize picks yet, preferring instead to get this posted as
soon as possible. SPAG 10 will contain those, as well as interviews with
some of the authors, and all the other usual rigamarole. If you want to
submit game reviews (contest entries only) now's the time. Reprints of
opinions posted to r.g.i-f are perfectly acceptable, but I may ask you to
spruce up things or something. When writing out the results, I may have
forgotten an alias that someone used or something of that nature, so I'll
apologize in advance. I'll email their scores to the authors, but other
than that I believe that the scores might just set some folks fretting
about how close they were, blah blah blah, so no public posting of scores,
just the raw place finishes.
I had a blast, guys. I hope next year's competition is half as good.
