in reply to Contest Ideas Quest
How will entries be submitted?
Entries can all be emailed to one person who will not participate (I'll volunteer if we need one, I can't obfuscate well). That person will post each submission for judging when entry time has expired (Vroom will need to ensure actual author's get due credit and XP)
Each entry should be accompanied by the authors PM username, and three sample runs, one of which must be without command-line options. Alternatively, Vroom can supply us with a private section to post code in that will become public at a certain time.
How will the entries be scored?
Community voting after posting, with a request (but not demand) that each person vote no more than 3 times. Scores should be based on how obfuscated the final code is, and how elegant the original script is. Voting period lasts for 1 week from initial posting. Votes can be acquired after that, but do not count for the "contest".
Who will score the entries?
Someone (who can see all the reps) merely needs to note the top-ranked persons. Vroom can award XP and titles to those people as appropriate.
When will submissions be viewable by everyone?
At beginning of voting date.
If you want hard dates, I propose that all entries be submitted by 12 noon GMT -0000 June 19. Voting begins the next day and lasts 1 week.
