This is said Siddarth Chandrasekaran. :) I proposed the first Stripe CTF, inspired by SmashTheStack (http://smashthestack.org/), but the resulting Stripe CTFs are the result of many, many hours of several folks' work (Andy Brody, Carl Jackson, Christian Anderson, gdb, Jonas Schneider, Jorge Ortiz, Ludwig Petterson, Nelson Elhage, Philipp Antoni, Steve Woodrow, and myself).
And yes, it's certainly a tradition that we hope to keep up!
