Subject: PCWC ?? announcement Expires: 3 weeks Reply-To: ??????? PEOPLE'S CLUE WRITING COMPETITION NUMBER ?? Welcome to PCWC ??, a clue-writing contest created by Guy Jacobson. Instead of just one judge, this contest is judged by everyone who wants to vote. The word: ???????? The moderator: ???????? The schedule: ?? ???ember 23:59 ??T Deadline for entries ?? ???ember I'll post the ballot ?? ???ember 23:59 ??T Deadline for votes ?? ???ember I'll post the results To enter, write a cryptic-crossword clue for the word above, and e-mail it to the moderator before the deadline. Please use the form for entries described below. One entry per person. Do not post any clues to the newsgroup. The moderator will post a ballot that lists all the entries, with the authors' names removed. Everyone then has a chance to vote and comment on the clues by sending e-mail to the moderator. You do not have to enter to vote. The moderator counts the votes and announces the winners. The winner of this contest is invited to moderate the next contest. The moderator does not enter and does not vote, except to break ties. ENTRY FORMAT Your entry should contain: 1) Your clue. 2) A detailed explanation of your clue. 3) Your e-mail address somewhere in the header. 4) Whether or not you can moderate the next contest. Note: the moderator's kit includes some shell/awk scripts for tabulating the results. If you don't have a Unix system, moderating this contest will be a little awkward. Some people have volunteered to run these scripts for moderators on non-Unix systems. Please use the form below for submitting your entry. This will make the moderator's job easier. ======== cut here ======== Here's my clue.
