Hey,

Before my computer dies a few weeks ago, I was intending on advertising a
mini- comp, similar to Adam Cadre's Chicken Comp of last year.

Of course I wasn't the only one to have this bright idea, hence the WackyComp
announced recently. But alas, it's the right time of year for this sort of
thing, any later and I'd be butting up against Comp99.

So here's my idea.

Submit a small interactive fiction game, that involves the paranormal. Yes,
yes, this sounds an awful lot like the x-files, and yes that's more or less
where the inspiration comes from. But don't limit yourself to the show. Use
anything relating to ghosts, demons, aliens, government conspiracies, etc.

Submit your game to me by March 15th. I'll have a web site up at
http://www.placet.com/xcomp tonight.
