A brief pause…

Note: IntroComp is over. In a somewhat unsurprising turn of events, the author of this blog was unable to finish sampling the entries by the voting deadline. Because he is in the process of turning over new leafs, he will endeavor to carry on as if none of this happened, rather than quitting as if he had never started in the first place, as would be the normal course of action in these circumstances. Please do not contact the author to remind him of this detail as it may shatter his delusion and would most likely cause a major breakdown, further disconnecting him from his somewhat tenuous grip on reality. Oh, and congratulations to all the entries. We do hope that all the authors – whether they prefer parser or choice–based systems – continue in their fine pursuit of the revival or at least rejuvenation of this antiquated, yet timeless craft. Special congratulations to [spoiler alert:] the winning authors: Harkness Munt, Brittany Hague, and Joannes Truyen.
