CYOA competition
judges and participants for my Choose Your Own Adventure competition wanted! every participant receives a freebie!
you don’t have to enter a completely new game as long as long as you wrote it and it hasn’t participated in any competition before. don’t be a cheater! [emote];)[/emote]
length and genre of the game doesn’t matter - the only important thing is that it’s CYOA.
the games will be rated by a jury rather than public voting, judges are supposed to have completed at least one game of IF (any style, not only CYOA)
so if you scribble down a game in 5 minutes that has only one branch you still get a prize - how can you lose! [emote]:)[/emote]
winners get nice Metallica stuff!!!
PM or email me!

full rules:
- Dates
I must receive your game (source code not required!) by email or pm by 17:00 GMT on Sunday, May 30, 2010.
- Game
Your game must be a Choose your own adventure game playable with an interpreter, preferably Frotz. In the event that the CYOA-ness of a game is disputed by at least one jury member, the jury (see below) will decide whether it is eligible to participate in the competition.
The game must be written in the English language to an amount bigger than 50%. There is no required length or any other requirement. A game of any nature can participate.
All games that have never before participated in any competition of any kind are eligible to take place in this one. In other words it is not important when they have been written. Just be honest!

I have the final say on any aspect of the competition.
