Just so everyone will know what's going on:
1) I've asked Asif for the Editor's Choice selection. I'll update this thread with that information once I have it.
2) I've asked itch.io if there's a way to detect votes from the same IP address. Those make sense to filter out.
3) I've got an eleven hour drive ahead of me today and a nine hour flight tomorrow. Assuming investigations are complete, I'll post final prize pool numbers and claim instructions to this thread once I hear back.
