Re: 6th PIECEPACK GAME DESIGN COMPETITION

["Benedict" <boycat_oh@...>]

An intriguing and highly original contest theme, Clark, I'm 
impressed.

I imagine that this contest could produce some of the best 
games yet for the piecepack, based on the premise that there 
will by synergy between the authors of each game.

That's also an impressive list of sponsors - some very nice 
prizes in there as incentive beyond the alleged fame and glory...

(think I'll just hide out behind this here rain barrel and hope that 
when the dust clears we'll find that the Brothers Schoessow and 
the Hale-Evans Family have finished each other off...)
