While it's true that the chicken-comp has the word "comp" right in the title, this is not so much a competition as it is an exhibition. There is no judging, no averaging of scores, none of that. So why "chicken- comp"? Well, for one, as we all learned at the ifMUD comedy panel, Alliteration Is Funny. (We'll ignore the fact that "tš" and "k" are different phonemes.) But more to the point, I have no doubt that the games below will generate comparison, discussion of which ones r001 and which suck, and to that extent, the "comp" part is implicit in any event.
