I propose that we, the OHRRPGCE community hold another 48 hour game making contests
This time, I would like to run our 48 hour contest simultaneously with the Ludum Dare 48 hour contest, and to share whatever theme they announce. This allows anybody who makes a solo game to enter it into the ludumdare contest too.
=OHRRPGCE 2011 48 hour Contest Rules=
* Contest to run the weekend of August 19th-22nd 2011
* Entries are strongly encouraged to sign up for Ludum Dare too, if they qualify according to the Ludum Dare contest rules.
* If you want to participate in a team instead of solo, or ignore the Ludum Dare theme, you can still participate in the OHRRPGCE half of the contest, and in our own separate voting.
=Prizes=
* I will offer a bugfix/feature-request prize to the winner, in the same style as the FYDG contest
* If anybody else wants to volunteer any prizes, just say so.
=Voting=
If you are entering the Ludumdare competition, they have their own voting system, which you can read about here: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/rules/
The OHRRPGCE 48 hour contest will be voted with a simple alternatives vote. Rank all the games in order of preference, with your favorite one at the top, and your least favorite at the bottom, for example:
Example Vote wrote:
1) Airship 2600-2011
2) Lyte Snap Blackjack
3) Even More Of The Games By Barnabus
4) Don't Eat Hamsters
5) Potato Quest
6) Arfenhovel Redux Zero
1) Airship 2600-2011
2) Lyte Snap Blackjack
3) Even More Of The Games By Barnabus
4) Don't Eat Hamsters
5) Potato Quest
6) Arfenhovel Redux Zero
You are also allowed to insert "NONE" anywhere in your list, if you disliked the games ranked below "NONE", this prevents your vote for them from ever being counted. If you don't put "NONE" in your list, then "NONE" is assumed to be at the very bottom of your list.
First we will count all the #1 votes. If any game gets more than 50%, it gets first place. If no game gets more than 50%, then the lowest scoring game will temporarily be ignored, and the votes will be recounted. If a vote slot has an ignored game in it, then the next vote in that voter's list will be counted. This process will be repeated until the first place winner is chosen.
Although there is no second place prize, the voting process will repeat the same way with the first place winner ignored. Then the process will be repeated to find third place, with the first and second place winners ignored.
This counting method kinda takes a long time, but it should be extremely fair.
And yes, it is okay to vote for your own entry.
=Theme=
The theme was announced and the contest begins! The theme is ESCAPE
Interpret however you please :)
