Well, gestures as in smacking the mouse into the corner of the screen can activate it.
I don't know about hotkeys, in OS9 you could set up the F keys to do whatever but maybe not in OSX.

So, the Penny Arcade writer submitted a module. This contest apparently got a lot of people's attention.

I can't figure out which one is his for some reason.

Bumpage, it seems like they are looking strongly at user votes for the contest, and I only have 5 votes so far, all in the 7-9 range out of ten (one idiot gave me a 4, but I balanced that out with a 10 from myself)
It seems crass to ask one's friends for positive votes (even though I'm sure that's what everyone else is doing) so don't just go and vote 10 because I said so, but if you've downloaded the module and played it please give me a vote. And not a 4, please, that's just mean.
Here's where to go:

I can't vote from work, but I played your module as well as three or four others, so I will vote from home later.

They weren't allowed to include combat in the module.

That's a good idea to keep the third rate out.

Well, they were interested in the writing only, and they didn't want to have to play through long modules, so the no combat stipulation went in. I wonder how many of the 300 contest entrants forgot that and put combat in anyway...

I would guess at least a third. My original guess was 1/2, but I thought that terribly pessimistic.

Never underestimate the ability of people to read and comprehend.
