Well, only three months after the fest, I have posted a page on it:
http://www.ozbricks.com/portblock/stud/201.htm

Nothing really auspiciously new.  Just a bit of an archive I guess.

It includes the hopelessly draft text of the Maritime BrikWars.  Email or
post your thoughts on what I have missed out, and bits I have shamelessly
made up that you can shamelesslier make up better yourself.  I have named
some stuff best named by others (James?  Pete?  Richie?  Anybody else?) and
I am entirely open to improvements.

Now, to get on to the April fest sometime...

Richard
Still baldly going...
