So the voting deadline has passed... Do we have a winner? How many ballots were received? I see no reason to extend the voting time-- deadlines mean nothing if they always push. Also, I have a strong opinion about what should win -- and a minor rule change to suggest. Can I talk about it yet?

Hello.

For your incoming judging forecast, I shall be submitting a ballot with feedback on Sunday. There is still one of the games that I have not tried, but I shall have the opportunity to test it Sunday. At least one more player who playtested with me will be judging before the deadline. Perhaps a couple more players with whom I play-tested will also email their rankings, though I am not sure.

For my humble opinion, we should probably delay the ballot deadline. We have had regrets about too few judges in previous IGDCs. On the other hand, delaying the judging deadline each IGDC discourages taking the deadline seriously. The gripping hand is that more judges are better: the entrants get more feedback. I shall be emailing my ballot Sunday whatever is decided about the deadline. That's my $.02.

============================================

Theorem:
All numbers are equal.

Proof:
Choose arbitrary a and b, and let t = a + b.
(a + b)(a - b) = t(a - b)
a^2 - b^2 = ta - tb
a^2 - ta = b^2 - tb
a^2 - ta + (t^2)/4 = b^2 - tb + (t^2)/4
(a - t/2)^2 = (b - t/2)^2
a - t/2 = b - t/2
a = b

Folks, we have less than a week left in
the judging period for the Spring 2009 IGDC!

I must say, however, that if I don't receive
CONSIDERABLY more rankings, it will be extended one month...
then abandoned. Call me crazy, but there should be more
judges than entrants.


Has anyone drummed up at Board Game Geek or any other strat
game sites? I've covered those local to my area
(Triangle, NC).
