Based on what has been released most recently, recent comps, vague feelings,
etc, and to get some discussion moving, here's a list of possible variants for
the next comp (interpret the order as you will):
Gumband
Ironband (still in beta, but still probably as stable as anything else)
Steamband
Hellband
FAangband
Angband (maybe wait for 3.1.0?)

I want to have a go at FAangband, and this would be a good incentive to actually
put the time aside

I would *very* much appreciate a Steamband competition.

You've already had one.
I'm still waiting for a CatHAngband competition. That was a brilliant
variant, but since the demise of Clockwork I've no idea if it's still
available anywhere on the web. The Fury has permission to interpret the
above as an official request.

Not for the new release of 0.4.1.
Even if there isn't a Steamband competition this time, I'd certainly like to get
onto the list. Just let me know where I should send the savefile.

By 'on the list' do you mean the OP's list? Because I think you might
already be on there.

I'd quite fancy an FAA comp too. I'm sure it would be keenly contested. I've
never really played a priest or paladin (in any variant) - so how about that?
Possible races: Beorning, Dark Elf or hobbit (!). >> Stay informed about: Next comp |

Maybe hold off a bit before doing Ironband. Playable and fun, but a
bit more work will do it good...

Hmmm, unless the competition is about reaching post Dis first, I
wouldnt advise it. 2 serious fixes will be in the next release that
will make the end game much better/faster ( no more rebuilding
dungeons because of monster overload / the mage guild where dungeon
books can be traded with spell book collectors ). Maybe I will also do
some more classes and definitely steal the shadows realm from Entro.
Oh yeah, 2008 should be good 
Cheers,
T.
