Yeah I'm not really sure about the methodology of adjusting scores according to the median number of votes ? I suppose if there were a game that got only one vote but it was a 5.0 then it could win the jam based off of only one vote , yet some other game got 100 votes with an average of 4.9? However at a certain point many games will not get rated by all the participants so something like a 10/15/20% cut off for ratings participation might be an equally good method without lowering someone's effective score? /shrug I am not a math genius so I'll leave it to those folks :-)
In any case I think some of the initial gameplay bugs we had probably prevented more people from playing it at first and that's on us.
And finally - just came here to have fun and stretch my skills in a compressed time-frame so : mission accomplished!
