... and how on earth would we go about judging your own entry to that 
round? :-)

In the previous times I have made this suggestion I have also offered to 
sit out the round, and I supposed I could sit out the round (or at least 
make it an entry not to be voted upon).

John

Perhaps what you could do, is be a panel judge for the round, and maybe enter an
animation using other non-rusty characters(Kind of odd for a rusty round, but
it's not a perfect idea, I admit).  I think that the best thing will be seeing
how your own models are used by others, and how you like what the entrants
present.  If it is a round, I look forward to the comments you give me...

Great.  The first IRTC topic I've been remotely interested in I don't know _how_
long, and my production schedule is hopelessly backlogged.  Grrrr...

I recently mailed out the rusty.inc file, and found that it relies on 
several of my other macro files, so to get things in a sane 
configuration will take some advance warning.

John

The official answer will come from the IRTC admins, of course.  If they 
tell me it's a Rusty round, the .INC files will be forthcoming; 
otherwise, I assume otherwise.

John

I think right now, David et. al. are busy coding the entire system.  But IMO, I
see no problem with a Rusty Round, and I'm sure they won't either.

The system development is well underway.  I have the structure in place 
for much of the system.  There's still considerable work to do so I will 
ask for your continued patience as the development continues.  We also 
have a graphic artist volunteering his time to do the design of the site.

Personally, I don't mind what the topic of the first round will be and 
I'll leave that decision to others.  We'll determine who those others 
are as we get closer to release.
