Ongoing testing and balancing, two preliminary rounds to establish

the start-up league table for the Gem Quest this weekend. Anyone

interested can type TABLE to see how the participants fared, and

RULES to review the rules and format of this Gem Quest. It is possible

we will be seeing two gems won, one of which will be the Ruby

of War.

The contest is open to everyone. It doesn't matter if you weren't

involved in the prelims, or if you can't be involved in every

round. What matters is how well you do in those rounds (30-45 mins

long) you DO contend in.

The next rounds will take place from around 10pm Saturday 15 January

by the Avalon clock. If anyone has any questions, ask me. All are

welcome.
