I'd like to give it just ONE more week, in the hopes that folks have finished exams and haven't yet gone on to summer vacation (Memorial Day: one week). Also that would give me Memorial Day to do the actual math work.
We have eight ballots, which at least is more than the number of games! :) I think I, alone, could rummage up three or four more, if I have another week to arrange too play with folks I know. (No, I don't have a dog in the race.)
I see no reason, however, not to be able to go to any or all games' Talk pages and start up discussion right now, if you're burning to do so. Another thing I'd like the time next Monday to do: copy all commentary from the ballots to the Talk pages of the games (along with the various other bookkeeping to do to wrap the comp).
Fair enough? Not a whole month, but just an itty bitty week. Tell all your friends!

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).
