There are a lot of promising games in this contest. Would anyone like to
play some of them by e-mail? If there are Zillions implementations, we
could even arrange a time to play online in real-time, assuming the
players aren't behind firewalls that prevent Zillions from connecting. I
was able to use Zillions last I checked, though I recently got DSL and
don't know whether that will affect it.

The judges will have plenty of work ahead of them to give adequate
play-testing to all of these. If a lot of us volunteered to play the
judges in e-mail games, would that be permissible and helpful? I'm
assuming that none of us who entered games would be playing our own
entries, and that we would all be good enough sportsmen to play seriously
in whatever games we were assigned. Also I'm assuming that there would be
at least 5-10 contestants participating in such a program, besides others,
so that each judge would have several opponents in any game.
