Community Voting starts on March 1st, and will continue for 2 weeks, ending March 15th (inclusive). The form factor this year is slightly changed. As usual, voters will be given a pool of 50 points to hand out to their most favorite games, 0 to 5 points. New twitch is, voters will be able to write a short sentence/feedback about the game they are giving points to. This will be kept at minimum, twitter-length, but benefits both the game maker (getting feedback) and also the voter (giving feedback). Giving feedback is optional, so those lazy-horses out there, no need to worry about a dreadful form to fill out  |

Community voting has started! http://java4k.com/Once again, you need to have an account. I'll add an " Oh man I forgot my password" feature tomorrow in case you forget your account password from last year. |

Yea, I can reproduce, need to fix it. But until then... I've added a link on the main page as well, so you should always be able to access the voting page from there as well. |

voters will be able to write a short sentence/feedback about the game they are giving points to Any reason that we cant give feed back on any submission? or is my understanding not correct? I gave a few entries 0 score... but that can only be achieved by leaving the score field blank... so how do you determine between a 0 score and a non-score? I did leave feed back for all entries as i tested all entries. |

If you give a game 0 points and feedback, that will still be saved, but have no weight in the results. |

That is fine, i am sure the authors would appreciate any and all feed back... i know i did when I had participated in the past. I was a little bit worried that my multi-hour effort of playing each entry and giving feedback would have been wasted for those which did not get a points ( I ran out of points  ) |

I'm seeing a flaw in the voting system - the games are sorted alphabetically. With a fixed pool of points go distribute, I find it very likely that games starting with numbers or an A will get significantly better scores than games later in the alphabet. I'd suggest doing such a comparison after the contest to see if this is the case. It might even be possible to calculate a curve representing this "multiplier" and normalize the results - perhaps not to use as actual results, but as interesting experiment.
For next year (and probably even for the remainder of the current year's voting), I suggest making the list sorting randomized. The best way to do this would probably be to randomize it once for each user, meaning each logged-in user will see entries in the same order each time they look at the list.

I have generated a randomly sorted list, and I'm working through the games in that random order. (I did the same last year when I was a judge). But yes, we can't expect everyone to do that. |

Last year, I played all of the games, ranked them in order of descending awesomeness, then awarded points from my favourite downwards. I'll do the same this year. /makes a mental note to write a game about aardvarks next year |

Yeah, I think it is more a moral issue than it is anything else if you just give the first 10 games 5 points and don't check the rest. I think the random thing is a good idea. I played all the games and did my points depending on what I considered great getting the points in general. I was disappointed that it was only 50 points, I think a lot more games deserved some points... but that is just me  . |

You're more likely to spend 50 points than 500 points. There's a whole lot of reasoning behind the scarcity of points. |

HURRY.... UP.... NOT.... MUCH.... TIME....  Can you keep community voting open until the judges are finished? That will provide more time for community feedback. |

That's actually a deadlock. As most as I am curious to see the community voting results, I think the voting process would benefit from a few days more, since now the site seems way more stable than it was the past weeks. |

Ok, then, I was actually going to ask this, but community voting stays open until Wednesday. That way we get both results at the same time.

That's actually a deadlock. Not really, while on wait judges will review again his sheet and community votes might be increased. Just no passively waiting. |
