EnvComp results and reviews

[David Fisher]

EnvComp was a small IF competition with a focus on interesting settings; you
can find out more from http://www.ifwiki.org/index.php/EnvComp. The two
entries can be downloaded from
http://www.ifarchive.org/if-archive/games/mini-comps/envcomp.

The final scores were:

8.0 for Dead Like Ants (C. E. J. Pacian)
5.6 for La Seine (Derek Sutcliffe)

For the curious, the individual scores were:

Dead Like Ants: 7 7 7.5 8 8 8 8 8 9 9
La Seine: 3 3 4 5 6 6.5 6.5 7 7 8

StalinComp isn't 'til later in the year, though I can certainly
understand your eagerness for it!

My own entry will be "Holodomor Honeys," a comedic AIF romp of sexual
morays and political satire and tough moral quandaries set against a
backdrop of Ukranian starvation.

When there's a big vicious eel
Wants to make you its meal
