A link to download a newly created savefile will be posted to this site. I will notify people when this file is available and the competition starts. The players have 2 weeks to play. The winning criteria may vary from competition to competition, but will always be shown on the download page for the savefile.  To log your score just mail your savefile (not the character dump) back to me at aholmes@blueyonder.co.uk.

I actively encourage the posting the savefiles even if they are obviously not winners as it may encourage less experience players (or players with less time) to compete against each other.

You may mail savefiles of dead characters as well as live ones. I can extract information from dead (and quitted) savefiles, provided no new game is started on a savefile. If you die you may start again as many times as you want using the original savefile, but savefile scumming, debug mode etc are considered cheating. The player may change any user interface options to suit their style of play.

The savefile may be any variant. If using a variant not used before, please give me some notice. The variants used so far are:

When playing any variant where quests can be bypassed, if you bypass a quest you must go back and complete the quest before submitting the entry, otherwise you depth will be taken as the depth of the quest before the first uncompleted quest.
