Hi,

It's glad to see another corewar enthusiast. I recognized your 94 hill
entries.

Your idea for this round sounds quite interesting but the timing seems to me
a bit unlucky. There is actually the Redcoders Frenzy round 21 in
progress and I am pretty sure most of the player won't have enough time to
participate on both.

Hi Blake,

Would you consider allowing the results of BCT to be included in the
Redcoder's Frenzy ongoing tournament (if Christian thinks this is a
good idea)?

This would just mean you organise everything exactly how you wish,
then after the results are published, the scores would also be counted
towards RF rankings.

I'll have a look at how the components score against each other and
see what I can come up with.

Regards,

John

Oh, yeah that could delay things a bit, but the contest will continue
to remain open until I get 20 entries. Thanks for your feedback.

That sounds like a great idea and I'd be more than willing to do that.
What do you think Christian?

Hi,

I'm working on my BCT1 entry now RF21 is over.

Unfortunately, I was away and didn't have time to make a second entry
for RF21. My entry was a simple linear scanner.

Regards,

John
