Hello!

To beggin with, I don't think there should be that much of a controversy over the rating/ranking matter. The point is to just have fun.

Someone could say that I speak from a safe spot because I ranked #10, but that's just not true! I had as much fun this year, as I did last year that I ranked #206!

What really matters is to have fun making games, meet with new people and learn stuff. Then just rate, not in order to criticize, but in order to give honest feedback. That is the only way the rating system could work 100%, because, in my opinion, no-matter the mathematical formula there will always be enough space to cheat. It's is up to us, not to the algorithm.  In the end, your life won't change if you end up in the 100 finalists, neither in Mark's video. It is awesome if you manage to achieve that, but should not be the purpose for taking part in the jam.

I hope everyone had as much fun as I did!

See you next year!!!
