I'm a bit late, but I'm enjoying the games in the newest iteration of TALP. I stumbled on it mid-comp last year, and with Spring Thing, I put off judging until now. I'm glad I Was able to test a few games that were already in good shape, and it's good to see even more entries this year.

I want to do what I can to vote on all the games I didn't test. I also hope to write reviews at http://ifdb.org and encourage others to, too.

Unlike IFComp, there are no rules that prevent you rating a game that you play tested. So, go for it. I will certainly be rating the games I play tested, but only after I've played the final versions. I'm leaving that until I've played all the other games that I didn't play test.

It's quite nice to know this is okay--I confess I'm worried I'll be biased more towards the games I beta-tested, because I understand their workings more, and I more totally understand what the authors wanted to do.

That's my current stance, though I may rethink it. Not that I want rethinking it to get in the way of finishing all the games I can.
