This will probably be the last I&#8217;ll talk about IFComp until after the judging period is over.  Rule 5 will be in effect, and although I&#8217;ll be writing up a more detailed postmortem of my development experiences, I won&#8217;t publish until [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s the nugget of wisdom for today: Possession relations can be confusing.  Reread Chapter 13 until you finally get it. Even after a year and a half of Inform 7 programming, and coming up on 130,000 lines of released (or shortly-to-be-released) Inform 7 total, I still found yesterday that I was off in the weeds [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t mean just implementation and technical issues, although the statement is true enough for that as well.  You really can never have enough time to root out obscure bugs and [...]]]></description>
