Contributions My thanks to this issue's contributors: Dave Booth, Carolyn Brown, Steven Chapman, Peter Clark, John Ferris, David Froude, Julian Gregory, Stefan Herber, Bill Jenkins, Trevor Jones, Alex van Kaam, Keeks, Dorothy Millard, Julia Munday, Jill Nott, Jenny Perry, Graham Raven, Peter Smith, Bev Truter, Andrew Wielochowski Other files have been taken from the public domain, either via the Internet or from CDs. The original authors of these are given credit if known. The next SynTax Contributor of the Year award will be made in the NEXT Issue (72, May 2001). To recap the points system points are awarded at the rate of 1 point per published K of information in the form of reviews, solutions, hints, maps, letters and articles. Points are NOT awarded for graphic files such as screendumps and photos. The points are added when the data is published, not when it is sent in. Files are published as soon as possible but maintaining the balance of the magazine is also a high priority. The current points list is now: Dave Booth 224.5 Keeks 222.7 Carolyn Brown 220.5 Dorothy Millard 216.6 Neil Shipman 182.8 Diana Griffiths 179.6 Paul Hardy 165.7 Jim Johnston 164.3 Bev Truter 158.6 Alex van Kaam 150.4 Phil Richmond 126.1 Graham Raven 125.9 Dave Stone 116.1 MerC 108.4 Stefan Herber 96.8 Andy Stenhouse 93.5 William McCole 91.4 Nick Edmunds 87.4 Richard Hewison 86.7 Peter Clark 86.3 Richard Hunt 77.7 Mark Bradshaw 75.2 David Froude 75.1 Phil Darke 74.9 Alison Dunbar 70.5 John Ferris 69.1 Karen Tyers 68.5 John Betteridge 60.1 Julian Gregory 53.5 Richard Batey 51.9 Bill Commons 45.3 Michael Raven 45.3 John Wilson/Balrog 40.3 Jean Childs 35.6 Linda Turnham 34.3 Jill Nott 32.0 Laura Duncan 30.9 Jenny Perry 28.0 Kjell Robertsen 27.8 Nettie McCombe 25.7 Brian Burke 23.1 Ed Smith 22.2 Bill Jenkins 22.1 Claire Dyard 21.5 Jesslyn Truter 16.2 Mandy Rodrigues 16.1 Barbara Gibb 15.0 Theo Clarke 14.3 Christopher Teague 14.1 Neil Currie 13.6 Steve Provost 13.4 Andrew Wielochowski 12.8 Frederick Darlington 12.3 Charlotte Wolle 11.8 Lol Oakes 11.7 Vicky Campbell 11.5 Sue Roseblade 11.5 Keith Adam 10.8 James Judge 10.2 Steven R Chapman 10.0 Anna Bradshaw 9.5 David Hayward 9.1 Rusty 7.2 Julia Munday 6.6 Ann Potter 4.6 Tom Lorimer 4.4 Thommo 4.1 David Stocks 3.7 Kanga 2.6 Peter Smith 2.4 Amanda Oliver 2.0 Vic Horsley 1.5 Ian Gunby 1.1 Trevor Jones 1.0 George Jones 0.9 Norman Allan 0.9 Jim O'Keeffe 0.6 John Tobin 0.5 George Rawson 0.1 Alex Ainslie 0.1 Contributions are always welcome for old or new games, hints, solutions, reviews, maps, articles - anything! Ideally they should arrive before the 15th of the month before the disk is produced to have a chance of being included in the next issue. Second (or third) opinions of adventures are always welcome. Ideally I'd like contributions on disk or by email. But you can also send printouts, typed or hand-written contributions. - o -
