Steph and Stu are back for another bonus episode of Control Panel! In this episode, we review the PBEM submission rubric for submitting PBEM games to OMEGA. We'll go through each of the categories on the rubric and talk about our rationale for including them, what we're looking for in terms of top scores in each category, and what made the accepted games for the first half of 2023 successful.

Pitching PBEM games for the second half (July through December) of 2023 is now open! You can pitch games here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdFPpjhBBuqpNpPFxasnSBH0YlKH3VmTJbzIKR9Q1NoUqf-vg/viewform Pitches are due by February 19th and you should find out within a few weeks if yours has been accepted!

You can review our rubric and successful pitch examples here:
