Many thanks to everyone who turned out for the IntroComp awards ceremony on the ifMUD - I know the authors appreciated your applause, cheers, and well-wishes.

For those of you who were unable to attend, here are the results:

INTROCOMP 2007 WINNER:
  • The King of Shreds and Patches, by Jimmy Maher


FIRST RUNNER-UP:
  • Tin, by Jim Aikin


SECOND RUNNER-UP:
  • Jacob's Travels, by Anssi Räisänen


FOUR HONORABLE MENTIONS
(Listed in no particular order)
  • Jack in the Box, an introduction by Marius Marius Müller
  • Three Princes, an introduction by Alex Godofsky
  • Trainstopping, an introduction by Ben Collins-Sussman
  • Folkar Station, by Doug Jones
Any of our seven participants who finishes a game (which is relatively polished, tested, a free of major bugs) by August 4, 2008 is entitled to a cash prize in US funds, minus any currency conversion fee that might be required. That's right — everyone's a winner! $100 for first place, $60 for first runner-up, $40 for second runner-up, and $20 for completing a piece which received an honorable mention.

Good luck to everyone with finishing their game!

Thanks again to Neil DeMause, Eileen Mullin, XyzzyNews, ifMUD, authors, beta-testers, and voters.

See you next year.

Jacqueline
