Judge Alpha,
Thank you for your detailed and honourable response!
And yeah, I don't really want to be the guy that opened the floodgates for score-wrangling. If it will help address the problem, don't re-score my game. That way, it becomes all about the dialogue again, and there's no precedent for harrying judges into awarding higher marks.
Besides, the main point of the competition isn't who wins, it's about making cool games. Isn't it? The winning part is icing on the cake: if it becomes the whole cake then we have a problem.
Doug
