My BKZZT

Ando · Post by **Ando** » Mon Feb 13, 2006 5:10 pm

I will be holding a BKZZT this Saturday at 10:00 am Pacific Standard Time (so like 5 pm or so for you GBers out there). The topic will be announced on #rawr at the said time and all participants will have one hour to make and complete their entries. I'll probably be the sole judge of the contest.

Hopefully after this BKZZT I will continue to hold more every so often, but we'll just see how it all plays out.

So uh yeah take care peeps

I'll see if I can be in. For those of us who have never been in one (i.e., myself) what exactly goes on in a BKZZT? I assume it's similar to any other ZZT contest (topic, time limit, etc...).

It's pretty much like an abbreviated WoZ compressed in one hour. Topic choice is the same, submission is the same (it will be at my e-mail address ande9108@uidaho.edu COUGH*don't sign me up for spam ever again YOU ASSHOLES*COUGH), etc. The only real difference is that it's only one hour and there is only one judge (although there could be more than one I guess).

So yeah.

I'm in purely because you've told me what time it is in the UK! However I won't be on #rawr, so could you put topics here on teh forums too please?

Otherwise I'll make a random entry and hope it conforms to one of the topics.

Sure, I can post here on the forums as well. Although it might be a little late.

haha, i remember what happened the last time i joined one of these crazy contests.

anyway ando, you're probably getting spam because you're giving out your email address in the wrong way. try it like this:

adrian at hillofants dot com

people know what it means, but at the same time crawler bots can't pick up your address and add it to their list as easily.

Looks like I was wrong about the time for the GBers; it would be 6pm for them.

Anyways if no one shows up for the contest I can hold it tomorrow, easily. That's the best thing about BKZZTs I guess.

I can put in a 30 minute entry now, or if you wait for tomorrow, I might not make it. But whatever really! I'm feeling particularly uninspired at the moment.

It's going to be held tomorrow at 10 am PST (6 pm GBer time). Hopefully no one will miss it this time ^>^

In any case TTTPPP yeah I could allow you to send me a quick game if you really want, in all fairness. I assume that you already know where to send it.

Ok, fine, I'll do my best to be back tomorrow!

Until next time... Stay safe kids!
