Maybe some quote from Genesis could be used as a motto here. It is probably a bad idea to start with LOS and end with PC, but maybe it is a good idea to spend the seventh day on testing and generally having fun.
There is also 7HRL, which is a rogue-like game made in 7 hours or less. KING is one of them. Can you mention that? --Zzo38 04:48, 15 July 2008 (CEST)
It's already February, and no plans of a 7drl challenge for 2011? Or are we still using the newsgroup for planning? I haven't followed newsgroups lately; they're just so awkward to access these days! I know newsgroups are nice "for old times sake" since roguelikes are retro to begin with, but perhaps we could be a bit more flexible with the rules for announcements and planning of the challenge!

- I agree that the newgroups are pretty hard to use: many of them are plagued by incessant spam. This wiki is probably a better place to plan things like a 7DRL challenge.
- I suggest March 5–12 as the official challenge date for this year. That would give us a bit of time to get organised. —Thomas Larsen 01:09, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
