I think the one issue with that contest is that people can start writing NOW, rather than just take the roughly eight days they're supposed to. What should have happened was have the contest announced, then mention a "surprise" element that needs to be incorporated into the game on the 9th. This way it would ensure that at least some of the writing was done during the actual timeline given.
Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of creating new Rogue-like games - they're always fun to play - I just don't see what advantage there is to this particular ruleset.
