- The contests we've been having on LOADSTAR 64 have gone over so well we
- decided to have a contest on LOADSTAR 128. BLOTTO seems to be perfectly
- suited for one so here goes.
-
- Read up on BLOTTO and play it a few times to get the hang of it. Then
- load the TOURNAMENT named "trn.00.lscontest" and see how many words you can
- find. This is a specially created file that can be totally solved. In
- other words, it's possible to get a perfect score of 18 words out of it.
- How do I know it can be done? Because I created it manually and put in 18
- of my favorite five-letter words. There are no plurals and no odd-ball
- words! Since this is a contest, only words found in the dictionary are
- allowed. The decisions of the judges are final, even if wrong.
-
- However, it's entirely possible that the winner of the contest will not
- have a perfect score of 18 words. I'd be surprised if anyone found the
- exact same words I entered into the grid. The winner will be the person
- with the most words so you should only send in your best score. You may
- either send (1) a disk with your saved games on it, or (2) a printed list of
- your words. Sure, it's possible to cheat, but we're going to check to make
- sure that the winning lists are possible, and anyway, LOADSTARites don't
- cheat.
-
- I like contests with lots of winners so we will be awarding prizes to
- the top 10 entries. All will receive one-year subscriptions (or extensions)
- to LOADSTAR 128 and their choice of a back issue. Be sure to include your
- name and address and which back issue you want on your entry. Address your
- envelope:
-
- BLOTTO CONTEST
- c/o Fender Tucker
- P.O. Box 30008
- Shreveport LA 71130
-
- All entries must be postmarked before June 1, 1993. Winners will be
- announced on LOADSTAR 128 #20, our gala Fifth Anniversary issue.
-
- That's simple enough for a LOADSTAR contest. Have fun playing BLOTTO!
