Is the contest going to be in #idiots-club?
...if so, can someone please un-ban me so I can enter? What's the theme? I don't know what's going on in there since lemmer went on a kick-nick spree.

theme = topic = subject = underwater stuff. Make a game about underwater stuff. That's it.

i had work. then I tried to do the thing with the underwater sidescroller like in the encyclopedia cause I though well I'll get an engine and then it'll be easy to fluff in some content. too bad.

And my essay took longer than I thought it would. I'd say this one was a bomb all around.
...
so, when's the next one? I have a long weekend next week and I'm less likely to be busy.
And why am I banned from #idiots-club ?

because you're not idiot enough. maybe if you behave more like an idiot you'll be allowed in.

Nadir, no it's not. There's nothing to see. Go away.
And even if no-one makes any new good games for ZZT, i'm still making games. And Quantum still works on his... language thing. Though he didn't really do much for the time being, he started working on it again AFAIK.
EDIT:
(nps, directed to nupanick)

nps, i'm not an idiot but i'm still being allowed. Maybe it's because i'm not [myself] an idiot, but all my games are more stupid than every person posting in this thread's stupidity COMBINED. But sadly, i'm slowly moving to the coherency path. Sorry, no more randoms. Half-randoms rule!
EDIT II:
I recommend Christmas. Preferably 27th-28th as at this time the DoZ wouldn't happen for sure.
It'll be good.
...
24th-26th: freetime
27th-28th: 24hoz
29th-30th: DoZ
31st-1st: freetime

What we need is an official 2008 Weekend Of ZZT (it would be hosted by gingermuffins, right?) and start generating a lot of hype maybe a month before.

I plan to host another nanogame contest!
This time, it'll be different though. A LOT.
1) The contest will be:
Main contest (0% off) - 8 hours
Grace period 1 (5*minutes amount% off) - 10 minutes
Grace period 2 (100% off, just if you want to "still show yer work") - 20 minutes
2) Nanogames can be in 2 variations:
a) One board, both title screen and game
b) Title screen board and the game board
3) Only one theme (yay!)
4) Scoring (may be revised):
10 points - Graphics
OR
7 points - Graphics
3 points - Title Screen
5 points - SFX/Music
10 points - Gameplay
5 points - Compilancy with the theme
5 points - Final thought
Which is 10+5+10+5+5=10+5+10+10=10+5+20=15+20=35!
Up to 35 points for each nanogame.
You decide. I can start Saturday 8 AM-12 AM (whatevtimezoneisinpolandnow) or Sunday 8 AM-10 AM (whatevtimezoneisinpolandnow). Not any other time. Sry. I want to stay the whole time for this one.
I will then later maybe make a 36oZZT - 36 hours of ZZT. Yes. 36 hours. Weird. But it may work out as a compromise between 24 and 48.

I'll participate if I can. Time doesn't matter that much for me -- given the Polish times listed, I figure I can fit in a few hours either by staying up late or waking up early.
