Part of organizing is that you get to put on the tournament that you want. If I were organizing it, it would bother me if people tried to put every aspect of the tournament to a democratic vote. I would like to see stuff settled before I get plane tickets though. I had some concern that people would try to ban Alphas during the player's meeting at the Paris event, and this would have bothered me greatly, considering that Seattle to Paris was a pretty substantial plane ticket. >So we are talking about a "nearly uniform platform" event, WMCPC, which could be >organized without any sponsor, as we already have a place to do it. > >Would you like to enter WMCPC with Ferret? I think this is too weird, but I might still show up. I don't like the idea of trying to handicap programs running on different hardware, there is no way to get it exactly right, and in some cases it might be hard to come anywhere close. I don't think it makes sense to even try. If there is a uniform event running on provided hardware I am more likely to show up than if there is a strange time handicapping system. bruce
