normally I'd say just compress your files into .ogg or use simpler midis instead of mp3's, but as art/music is the theme to the compo I'd have to agree that you should raise the 5 mb limit. I'm going to use ripped music either way
Agreed with the filesize rule change, 10mb or so would be nice Also would it be possible to put everyone on an (optional) mailing list, so we can know when each round is starting / ending / finished judging etc, instead of having to wade through this thread?
Oh and also- how are you going to know if we have plagiarised code, especially since you won't be looking at the source file? Even GFX will be hard to check. Are we supposed to give some sort of disclaimer? Do library gfx count as ripped?
So, team up is still allowed now? If so, wanna co-operate BeamSplashX ?

Yeah, I forgot about that rule. Raising the limit up to 20mb. Get a good host because if it takes me more than 20 min to download I won't get your game.
I can't really tell if you copy code, but I can tell if your coding level makes suspicious jumps. I have a slight idea of what everyone's abilities are from round one. You can rip music/graphics/code and turn yourself in though if you want. Maybe some people will be honest!
Yeah there's still teams.
Oh and sometimes the compo is updated on the front page, but if it isn't this time then we can start a mailing list.

Making users trudge through pages of a topic is actually the worst idea ever. It took me ages to find the page with the results in, and there wasn't even a news post saying the results were in! I could've waited a month and missed the next deadline. Most people will not even know they are teamed up with anyone anymore and most people won't know their results.
Well Crapola, Splotches! fits this theme much better. Darg. I doubt I'd get enough points if I kept working on it instead of starting a new one. Now I must DC Mail Chrilley to see what he wants to do.
Really really-- we need to start a new topic or something. It freezes everytime it loads all 49 or 50 or whatever pages when I try to reply.
Just continue work on Splotches! then. There isn't any originality category so you can't lose points like that. Besides, it's likely that you'll get more points this time because the game would be largely enhanced.
