I like the ww2 idea, namely because we would have a lot of entrants unlike the paltry four this time.
I wouldn't submit Kyokujitsu because that wouldn't be very fair, anonymously speaking (considering my codename wouldn't very well conceal that scenario).

That seems like a good subject, and there's enough to make scenarios about; The Opium Wars, Kashmir, Chino-Japanese Wars, Colonial wars, Indian uprisings, The Chinese Revolution - and to broaden the subject, it could be named "South Asian historical scenarios".
I'd vote for that. It surprises me, when I think about it, that the above mentioned subjects haven't been covered...

Nick, are you on fire over there or what?

No - the fires are out at my end of town, though north Canberra is under a very real threat at the moment, and the government still hasn't canceled the state of emergency (though the radio has stopped playing terrifing siren noises every 15 minutes, which is nice!)
On saturday an offshoot of the main fire got within about 500 meters of my house, (the gale force wind caused it to advance several kilometres in a matter of minutes) but fortunetly the wind dropped before the fire could really take off, and the fire fighters were able to bring it under control. The only damage we suffered was that the letter box got scorched (from the wind) and all our clothes stink of smoke.
Alexander's Horse lives a couple of blocks away from me, and has posted some dramatic shots of our neighbourhood at 3-4 PM saturday at: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthre...&threadid=74506
At that time I was on the back balcony filling the gutters with water and hosing down the occasional burning ember (ash was coming down like rain for a short period!). We had the car filled with valuables and offical documents and were ready to evacuate at a moments notice.
The fires didn't cause any major damage in my suburb, but Canberra's western suburbs have been hit hard, with four people killed and over 400 houses being totally destroyed. The Suburb of Duffy (which is about 10km from where I live) got hit hardest, losing about 200 of those homes.

How about only one criterion: the winner wins by building something (e.g. spaceship) to arrive somewhere (e.g. Alpha Centauri)? By not having a warlust victory condition, it could encourage, but not dictate, a tech race. At the start of the contest, someone could donate expertise by explaining how to change the appropriate DLL's. This could get some creative designs!
