For the first three tournaments, I made physical trophies for all the winners. There’s a box in my workshop containing the ones that never got sent out; some were because I never had shipping addresses for folks, but many were because I’ve always been really disorganized.
An old post of mine from Kuro5hin.Org, dated “Tue Oct 31st, 2000 at 10:32:11 AM EST”.
Following up on an earlier News item which I posted here, the Annual /dev/null NetHack Tournament will be open at midnight Halloween (in Pacific [whatever] Time).
Thanks to the respondants from the earlier News bit, this year we’re starting with three game servers: 1 in California, 1 in New York and 1 in Australia. The new servers are volunteers from K5 readers, so I definitely want to thank y’all for that.
This is /dev/null’s second annual NetHack Tournament; last year’s had about 300 players from 4 continent’s and ended with winners on three of those four.
The “standard” prizes will go to:
- Highest Score
- 1st, 2nd and 3rd Hisghest Score in each class
The “additional” prizes will go to:
- Most Ascensions
- Lowest Scored Ascension
We’re completely open to adding new additional prizes (the Tournament tended to reconstruct itself as it ran last year, too), so feel free to suggest anything that comes to mind.
