OK after more discussion, the fine folks at Fair Play Games have decided they do not have the time to devote to judging a game competition. So I think we need to go with Doho

The theme idea seems very sound - indeed, my feeling is that extra weight needs to be given to games that emphasize the theme (shades of a sort of "anti-Knizia" award here!)
However, I

I like the "doomed civilization" thing. Although that is still pretty broad territory covering anything from Rome to Altantis to the depths of space.

Off on a tangent thought: Sim-Pompeii: to live and die in the Roman empire.

Hi! How about a comical gemre or an anti-heroic theme? You could make fun of a well-know character, like Saddan Hussein, or even a cross over with them?
By the way, about doomed civilizations, how about OUR OWN??? Nostradamus said it would end around 1999, besides theres an error on theyr calendar. How about an End of the World game, but not so much serious? Maybe Bozo saves the the day and avoid the WWIII? Maybe Ronald McDonalds were behind the plans to finish off civilization? HAHAHAHA!!!

OK, so having solved #2 on your original list (once the vote is closed, anyway!), how are you proposing to handle #1?
And, more importantly (from my POV), what sort of limitations are going to be imposed on the game? (beyond making a playable one, of course!)
For all that I would be in favour of epic all-day affairs (I don

Chris,
You can feel free to volunteer my time whenever.
I would certainly consider acting as a judge. And if you wanted I could post a message to some of the industry lists I
