FWoZZT

[Dr. Dos]

\m/

I think I'll actually accept the tradition and agree to host the next WoZ. Hosting isn't really my thing, especially because I'm so freaking busy and I much prefer actually making games, but I think I have some ideas that might boost participation a little next time and I don't trust other people to implement them.

First on the agenda!

Holding a WoZ seconds after another WoZ is stupid because everyone's tired of making ZZT games for a while now, but disappearing and then suddenly appearing with "Hey WoZ in two days" is equally bad. Therefore, I am announcing RIGHT NOW that a WoZ is coming in the FUTURE.

Actually, I'm going give exactly one month for people to discuss and come to some sort of agreement on when a good time in (when you kids get your Winter Breaks and stuff.) That doesn't mean that the next WoZ will be in a month. It means that I will announce the date for the next WoZ in a month. The next WoZ will actually happen somewhere around two months from now, but that will change depending on what kind of feedback I get.

Also I need two judges who weren't going to make anything good anyway. If you're competent with ZZT and actually have the time to do so, please compete instead.

Edit: Maybe someone with super mod powers could make this post its own thread and give it a sticky or announcement or something, just so you people know that KJORTEO WOZ IS COMING

Topics are: feet, family members, and/or dogs

The F is for furry. or future.

I'll compete this time. Will this be hosted on kjorteo.net?

I also have a suggestion, if you've not already thought of it. Don't release the obvious joke/junk entries in the zip, and don't enter them for judging. It's not been funny since the 24HoZZT died, and it cheapens the effort that actual participants put in.

Good luck with this, Kjorteo. Just don't do it too soon ;_;

Awesome, and no. Slither's server (where kjorteo.net lives) is basically a piddly little thing he sets up as a favor to friends of his who get very little traffic. It's like, if you're actually a friend of Slither's, and no one cares about you but you want a webpage just for the hell of it, he can hook you up. It's very much not meant to handle the kind of traffic that hosting the WoZ there would create.

I had an idea to cull junk entries a little, but that wasn't it. I'll release the actual full set of rules and changes at the same time I announce the contest date. This announcement will be close to exactly one month from today. I will take this idea into consideration as well, though! Thank you.

Good luck with this, Kjorteo. Just don't do it too soon ;_;

I'm not even announcing the rules and date for another month, and there will probably be at least a month between my announcement and the contest itself. I tentatively predict the contest will be somewhere in mid-December, but that all depends on what kind of feedback I get before I make the announcement.

I guarentee you 5000000000000 entries if you offer a FREE COMMISION to the winner.

[MadTom]

best prize ever

[Kjorteo]

Uh, have you seen my artwork? If anything, promising to draw a picture for the winner might accidentally scare people away. :(((

I guess I'll take it as a suggestion and think about it though. Thanks!

That last zombie picture reminded me of a pizza.

It made me hungry.

I just now fully realized how disturbing that is. :(

so you want us to make furry incest porn zzt games in which all family members have foot fetishes?

Of course not. That would totally degrade the very concept of the Weekend of ZZT. I have a legacy to live up to here, you know. Geez, grow up a little. Instead make that RIGHT NOW and give it to me before the contest. Don't forget the zombies.

Actually in the very first Weekend Of ZZT there was an automatic 100 from Dos if your game had furry Respite porn. So it'd fit right in.

[Kjorteo]

Wow. Considering that WoZ scores are regularly on a scale of 10, that's quite a deal.

mid december might be bad, that's when semseters end and everyone's going mad over finals. I'd suggest after christmas if its in december.
