We decided not to submit our research paper again (the deadline is Friday). We’ve got a few useful results, but they don’t cohere well, and none of us think that they would make a good conference paper. I think we’re all getting kind of sick of this particular topic, and the best thing may just be to move on. It’s too bad, but I guess that’s how research goes. We are planning on submitting a few of the results to a games oriented conference – it won’t carry as much weight research wise, but at least we will have something to show for ourselves.
