[Icehouse] Winter 2008 IGDC Rankings!

[Jorge Arroyo]

Thanks a lot. I'm glad you liked the game. I do think the game is good, and
am discouraged about what I mentioned in the other thread. The fact that you
see the 7th position in the game's wiki page will probably make casual
observers avoid the game... As I said, I think we should remove the final
rankings as they're not so reliable and just publish the first and second
place (maybe third too). This way there's no "stigma" on the other games and
hopefully that way they'll attrack some attention (and feedback) after the
contest is over.
