4th Annual NetHack Tournament
fatquack writes "The NetHack tournament season is upon us once again. /dev/null's Fourth Annual NetHack Tournament has just opened. As with past years, the Tournament is open
to anyone who'd like to play. We're also open to anyone who'd like to volunteer
to run a game server since, though we have a T1 hosting the main game server,
play can be slow across the transoceanic links. devnull.net is a loose association of networking geeks,
unincorporated and noncommercial. We just do this for giggles; we make no
money from this other than what folks feel like donating. The prize structure going in, as we're always open to suggestions to change this during the Tournament, is:
Prizes
The "standard" prizes will go to:
Highest Score
1st, 2nd and 3rd Highest Score in each class
The "additional" prizes will go to:
Most Ascensions
Lowest Scored Ascension
This year's Tournament will begin with servers in California and Oregon, but
with servers in Colorado, The Netherlands and Australia hopefully coming online
in the first few days."
