FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS* *for very small values of "frequently" SO HOW LONG/SHORT SHOULD AN INTROCOMP ENTRY BE? There are no strict length requirements. If you want to enter a complete game, or merely an opening screen or just a title, there's nothing technically stopping you - though given the voting rules, this may not be the best strategy. WHAT'S TO STOP ME FROM JUST ADDING "AND THEN THEY ALL DIED -- THE END" TO MY ENTRY AND THEN CLAIMING MY PRIZE? BWAHAHAHA! Nothing... except the ridicule and ostracization of your peers. Also, keep in mind that you have to send me your address in order to get your prize, and you'd be surprised how easily it is to acquire smelly, rotten salmon here in Alaska. CAN I SUBMIT A SECTION FROM THE MIDDLE OF MY GAME INSTEAD OF THE BEGINNING? No, that would be ExcerptComp. HOW ABOUT THE ENDING OF MY GAME? Next question, please. WHEN I FINISH WRITING MY GAME, CAN I SUBMIT IT TO IFCOMP? No go, my friend. It would run afoul of the spirit of IFComp's "no prior release" rule. You may be allowed to enter it in other minicomps, though - ask your local minicomp dealer. CAN I SUBMIT MORE THAN ONE ENTRY? You may enter more than one entry, but only your top-voted entry will be ranked and eligible for a prize. So, have more than one game you're working on right now and you're not sure which one to focus on? Find out which premise will be the best received by the community by entering them here. Of course, unless you wish to incite the wrath of the IF community and, more importantly, the competition organizer, any and all entries you enter should be well-tested and created in earnest. Please don't spam the competition with lots of half-baked entries. Need I reiterate that, as an Alaskan, it is really easy for me to acquire a high volume of rotten salmon and mail it to you. Please, don't tempt me. BUT I STILL WANT TO KNOW MORE! That wasn't exactly a question, that was more of an exclamation... Okay, I get your point. Maybe you should take a look the ifWiki to learn more on previous years' IntroComps: [LINK] If you still have a question after that, drop an e-mail to my gmail.com account: jacqueline.a.lott Thanks! What now? You can go back to the main IntroComp page, read the rules and download the games, or view your account.
