Hey Marcus,
I hope you understand our concerns about the legitimacy of this considering that such high prize pool never happened here before. Please don't be discouraged by that, after the first shock we went through we all just want to help you with the Jam so both you as s Host can get some great games about social justice and that we as a community can participate on fair and clear rules.
Could you please check your Linked In inbox for me? That would really clear everything up, and we could all begin creating great games together with you.
Cheers,

Hi fMooNek.
Thank you for your response. I'll head over to LI and respond to whatever is in my inbox there.
As I've said I am new to hosting GJs and am probably making a huge number of mistakes. I've been getting feedback that says: slow down. Work more closely with itch, do a better job marketing the jam so that more people can participate, and address the concerns about the Jam's legitimacy up front. I talk to Rob Hassett almost every day, and almost every day he tells me: slow down. I feel like things are moving at a snail's pace lol, but I may take everyone's advice and move the start date of the Jam out, in order to do a better job of enabling participation for others.
Thanks so much for your patience.
Have a great day,
Marcus
Hi Marcus, just in case you missed it, I've written a short suggestion here on what you should do moving forward: https://itch.io/jam/commercially-viable-game-social-justice-game-jam-1/topic/949512/a-message-for-marcus
