Re: [piecepack] Next Design Competition

I personally feel there is no need to rush right into another contest. I think a good game theme and a  nice amount of time to create and then test the games is better then putting a time requirement on the contests. IMHO I  think having one or two good themed contests per year is a lot better then one every quarter.

P.S. Congratulations on winning the contest Mike. I will be sending you an email about your prizes from tjgames shortly.

  Subject: [piecepack] Next Design Competition


  Hello all,

     I'd like to solicit comments and suggestions regarding the dates 
  for the next piecepack game design competition. If we keep it as 
  aquarterly event, then the next one should end around the beginning 
  of November. We could extend the time though and have the competition 
  end sometime in January. A longer time would allow for more leisurely 
  game invention, play-testing, and rule writing, and hopefully to 
  garner more entries, but some people may not wish to reduce the 
  number of contests per year. Either way is fine from my point of 
  view. It also occured to me that a compromise would be to just extend 
  it 3-4 weeks, however I don't want to be doing lots of play-testing 
  right before Christmas, partly because of my own schedule and partly 
  because I'm worried about finding sufficient co-testers to play with 
  around the holiday season. So my preference would be to have the 
  closing date for the next competition be either around the beginning 
  of November OR sometime around the first two weeks of January.  

     I welcome all comments and suggestions!

     And, I encourage you all to think about game design! Once a date 
  is set I will post the "official" rules of the next competition, 
  including the new theme.

  -Mike
