I think it's a bit odd that we always vote on projects - that there is no one person that can just do it all (and then people can complain here if they're dismissed

This strikes me like a silly little game that takes ~ 2 hours to do - and shouldn't really have a whole site/cvs/file-release system. So I voted no.

Totally agreed.

I'm also starting to think there needs to be a template for game submissions.. these short entries say nothing and imply the submitter just wants free space to start a project (which is fine of course, but there's no point voting on that).

Games published by our own members! Check 'em out!

Maybe he forgot to post the line saying you are controlling real ships and subs  

Hmm...come to think of it with the simplicity of SMS, that would probably only add another hour to the project

Could the OP post a more detailed project discription.

I feel that all game ideas should come with at lest a Game Design Doc, pref. with level seeds for at lest the first two levels.
Some light reading for the OP:

I think this is a good idea. I'll put something together and include it in the submission guidelines
