The Big Lp Round

Organiser: John Metcalf

Round 2 inspired a smaller turnout than the previous round, with 9 authors submitting 17 warriors in all. The warriors played round robin in a large limited process core, with a total of 10000 rounds per battle. 63 hours, 11 minutes and 20 seconds later there emerged a clear winner from the afray, boasting an impressive 61.4% wins.
Janeczek's FragPaper has top spot - being a stone/paper similar in principle to Tempest. A stone/paper also holds second place, this time being Gunnell's Hov Test, closely followed by the first of Hillis's evolved warriors.
A little further down, we find Ford's scanner and Wainwright's paper in ranks 6 and 7. Thorne's vampire takes 10th place. Macrae holds 12th rank with a bomber, however much more interesting is his other entry, a triad of mutually repairing scanners. Finally we have Moore's clear at 14th and WFB's bomber at 16th.
