The games are all zipped together into a single file for convenience.  The file should include a readme file (which is basically the message you are reading now) and a separate directory for each entry.

Voting will run from now, until Tuesday, June 23^rd, so you have two weeks to play the games and get your votes it.  The actual voting will be done using an online ballot similar to how we did the last Erin Awards.  Here is the link to the ballot when you are ready to vote.

Even if you don't get around to playing them all (although they are short enough that I don't think that will be a problem) you should still go on and vote for the ones that you did play.

During the voting period we request that you refrain from asking questions about, or commenting on any of the games on any of the forums, including AIF Archives, and AIFGames.com.  If you have questions or hint requests please send them here:

Aifsubmissions AT gmail DOT com

I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.  I also encourage you to give the authors some feedback, as that is really the only `payment' they get for writing these games.  If you would prefer to do so anonymously, then you can send your comments to that address as well, and I will pass them on to the author. Without further ado, here are the games.  Have fun.

• Sex is Mental by Rabbi
• BSG: Twenty Two by Madquest8
• The Mechano-Menace by A. Bomire
• Obedience by Rip_CPU
• **Prosperity of Cheaters by Rip_CPU
• In Darkness by GoblinBoy

 ** Please note that Prosperity of Cheaters actually has one extra character than is allowed in the comp rules.  Because two of the characters are fairly minor, I have decided to allow it to participate rather than disqualify it outright.  However, this fact should be taken into account when casting your vote
