I don't have approval powers, though, so it's up to one of the real admins to actually put that somewhere!
I'd help you but I'm too afraid to touch the admin system for fear of doing something HORRIBLY WRONFG

like misspelling something

Sorry - I would never have entered if I knew how much trouble it would cause! The only reason I did enter was that I wanted to show some support to Kjorteo for putting so much effort in. The reason my entry was a load of carp was that my grandparents stole my weekend!

Also "HUMAN BEINGS WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!"

OK, new link now that it's not in unsorted uploads anymore:

http://zzt.org/?p=databas ... 006woz.zip

So now all the scores are compiled, the winner has been announced, the file uploaded and hosted on z2 for real, and everything else immediately coming to mind taken care of.

I am DONE

:keen:

You can maybe put this thread somewhere now that it's all over, and make an announcement/sticky/whatever for Quantum's whenever he decides to make a thread for his :D

Again, it was a wonderful contest that showed the world (well, people that cared anyway) that ZZT isn't quite dead yet.

Well done Kjorteo.

Thank you, Ando!

Yeah, I wasn't around for zzt.org or the old days when there were more submissions like that, but this is defintely the most successful of the three WoZs I actually had anything to do with (MadTom's, Ando's, and then mine.) Nine legitimate games, and that's after my friend Xaq (who said he might contribute) ran into time issues and dropped out. I think it's more a credit to the fine people who entered than it is to me as a host, but I'm definitely pleased with the results either way.

I would be willing to host again sometime in the future (assuming I win again in someone else's, of course,) but for now, I suddenly have a deep appreciation for why there's at least three months between successful competitions.

Uh-oh!

404 Error!!!

The link is bad.

YOU LIE.

It works fine for me.

If it's really a problem, type "2006 WoZ" in the search on the main page, and it will be the one and only result that comes up.

But I think you're wrong on the link!

Yes, the link is bad. It looks like there's a problem with the upload script and uploading files that begin with numbers... and that problem should now be fixed!

Unfortunately, the zip file was lost. It looks like I deleted the copy I downloaded a few days ago, so Kjorteo, if you could email me the zip file, I would be very happy to fix everything.

Also, you cannot simply rename a ZZT file; the name of the world is stored within the file itself. In most cases, the name of the world and the name of the file (minus the .ZZT extension) should be the same. You can edit the name of the world by opening the world in KevEdit, hitting "W," and editing the "World Name" field. I bring this up because you renamed SEWER.ZZT to FSFSEWER.ZZT; the internally-stored world name should be FSFSEWER, but it's not. You might want to fix that before you send it to me.
