[Icehouse] IGDC Winter 2008 Game Pages Being Modified

[David Artman]

This is a heads up to the list that the Win08 IGDC game pages are being
modified to use a Winner Box which lists all below 3rd as "Other Entries".

This was done based on a "poll" which resolved (sort of) as 4 to 3 in favor.
Looking more closely at the "poll" in terms of those affected (i.e. actual
Participants), the results would be 2 to 1 against (two Participants against
one) with three non-Participants offering input (in this case, in favor of
an obfuscatory Winner Box). It is my considered opinion that those whose
pages actually are changed by such a "poll resolution" be the only ones
whose preferences matter, as their pages are the only ones affected.

Those of you with a stake in this "issue" might want to confirm that you are
happy with the changes being made to your game pages.  I believe that this
is in keeping with the general modus operandi of the IHG.org wiki: as a
community, we respect a designer's right to present his or her game in
whatever manner he or she wishes, and to accept (or hide, or reject) any
kudoes or recognition it is given. Apparently, there are folks who believe
the IHG.org wiki should conform to their particular preferences across all
pages....
