Deadline: Judging Criteria
Jason Morningstar posted his judging criteria for The Undead Software Engineers in Alaska Challenge.
DISQUALIFIED FOR:
1,201+ words
3+ pages
Not sent to email address listed as a text file
Not published or linked to from Story Games thread
Submitted after 1 January, 23:00 GMT
POSSIBLE TWO POINTS EACH FOR:
Undead
Software
Engineers
Alaska
Chugach State Park
Illiamna lake monster
Dena'ina Athabascan language*
World War Two Aleutian campaign
Just mentioning it, or using it as color, is worth one point. If it is central to the game or has a mechanical effect, you'll get two points.
*Zero points for Ingalik, Holikachuk, Ahtna, etc.
POSSIBLE THREE POINTS EACH FOR:
Playability
Uniqueness
Alaskocity
One point for eh, two points for probably, three points for hell yeah.
Playability means the judge's ability to easily understand, visualize, and play the game as written.
Uniqueness is tough, because you'll be judged against other entries. Similar entries will result in low scores.
Alaskocity is a measure of how well the design embodies the ineffable principals dear to Alaskans*
*The list is long, but you can't go wrong with freedom and self sufficiency, perseverance through adversity, the indiscriminate use of drugs and alcohol, and black humor.
I'll have to revise my concept a bit to maximize my score. ;)
