The idea of this round was to be fairly standard, but to be different from all the Q^2 scanners and large pspacers which were dominating the '94 Draft Hill at this time.
I think that this was fairly successful, with the top three components being Beppe Bezzi with his old favourite, Tornado, and Edgar with his "depressingly ineffective" Silver Talon 1.3 and a simple pspacer from Ilmari Karonen. The most complex pspacer of the round, Paul Kline's Kiss the Fish Babe!, didn't do that well, despite similar warriors doing very well on the Hill.
This round was generally a success for the established players, with the newer players coming in towards the bottom. However, this round was perhaps the most conventional, and so the beginners may well do better in later rounds.
