Revving up for '06

[itaigreif]

Hi.
Do you need to register somewhere, or would there be another post on Friday?

Hiya,

Short answer: no, you don't need to register anywhere, that I know of.

Long answer:

The special ingrediants and conditions, as well as the years theme (right? we have a theme this year?) will be posted on Friday. All that it takes to enter is sending in your entry to the email address that will be posted by the deadline, which is a week from Sunday. In general, entrants tend to post thoughts and progress here in the forums, which gives a general indication of how many people are participating.

Also, new this year, entering the contest means you need to commit to reviewing and scoring four of the other entries. If you don't do that, your entry gets pulled from consideration. As far as I know.

[Edit: Dang, Andy beat me to it! Sorry for the double-post]

Thanks, both of you.

About playtesting; am I allowed to run play-tests for my game during the week?

We will have to watch this one, fellow chefs, this Israeli is a cunning cook indeed!

(Yes, you can playtest. Or at least you could in previous years and I've seen no new rule banning it. Such a rule would be silly anyway as there is no way of enforcing it).

We have to be cunning; I am just a sole Israeli cook, surrounded by sharp knives...
Luckily for me, we have two days off next week, so I got some free time for playing.

If you've got the time, make of it what you will and face the envy of your fellow chefs.

Entering the stadium now is Michael O'Sullivan. Standing at a towering five foot ten inches and weighing in at 236 pounds, Michael is an imposing sight to be sure. Perhaps best known (if known at all) as the creator of the heist movie RPG Criminal Element for the first ever 24-hour RPG project, Michael is no stranger to grueling RPG development trials. Hailing from the land of Cheesesteaks, Wooder Ice, and Gravy on Spaghetti, Michael is also very familiar with simple, delightful recipes that that can be fantastic if cooked properly, but ruined if attempted by amateurs.

Michael will also be entering the stadium with a posse of fellow creators. The Tuesday Night Fighters, of which there are at least three. We are all from the Philadelphia area and will be working seperately on different submissions for the game chef competition, with the final goal of securing the trophy for the City of Brotherly Love and using it to hate on all of those out there who would stand in our way!

Hyperbole out of the way, myself and at least two of my friends are going to be developing games for this. We all live in Philadelphia and, while not working together, are acting as a mutual support group, getting each other psyched up and all of that. Anyone have a problem with this?

Also, Chairman Andy, since this group is all a part of the same gaming group, would it be easier for you and/or us if we were all assigned the same games to review? that way we're not trying to cram fifteen games into one month's worth of gaming sessions.

My First time in this kitchen.. But the boss here says we fight.. so I'm ready...

The trophy will reside here, on MY mantle.. next to my favorite Terry Pratchet Book...

Wow, sure is a lot of posturing going on at the moment. Perhaps I should take the opportunity to plug Vanishing Point (out next week from Esdevium Leisure in limited edition hardback) but no. The wise chef is humble and knows that he always has something new to learn.
