Ooh - that's a cool website.

Especially here: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?btnG=1&pws=0&q=cache:lmgtfy.com >:D

Nice!  That's diabolically recursive!

Also, how will the judging work?  Is it based more on the open poll, or more on the closed judging?

closed judging. I can even tell you how scoring is done:

Originality - 20% (If the author received too much help on his entry or if it was a team project. Also includes if the game is just a generic game you find on ticalc.org everywhere, with no innovation.)
Gameplay/Controls - 20% (includes speed. Is it too slow, too fast?)
Graphics - 20% (the bar is not too high there, but I'll look if they make the game hard to play and if they're too poor)
Entertainment factor - 20%
Useability - 20% (if game bug/errors hinders gameplay/usage, if the game is a major PITA to start, if it's easy to get used to it, if it crashes every second or so.)

As for how much judging will count for, it will depend of the final amount of votes on any entry that is not WFRNG. :P (if 36 people vote for WFRNG in the 37 votes we get, the poll will probably lose all its weight :P)

Hmm, let me check the rabbitsign arguments...
rabbitsign -g -k 010A.key -r -o AdvanceWars.8xk Advance.8xk
That should work, assuming you have 010A.key in the same directory.
Shouldn't you be using the 0104 key?

Yeah that got quite a lot more attention than last year contest, although last year the contest starting announcement had 202 comments, since ticalc.org stopped posting news articles after featuring our contest for about 3 months (our news remained on the front page for that long) and it was the first contest we had. The largest news article is the one about TI-Nspire OS 2.1, though, and by far.

Yeah true, although it seems people prefer communities and facebooks to sites with no forums nowadays, because even when ticalc posts a lot of interesting news, those news get few replies anymore. It seems people mostly go there to download stuff nowadays. Heck, check Omnimaga news section then go on Cemetech front page. Compare them with ticalc.org news list. On Cemetech almost every single news get 40+ comments and on Omni, while a lot won't go above 20 comments, there are some that goes in the 40-50s. That said, it did not help that Contra 83, Robot Wars and some newer stuff took so long to get featured, though. For years, people felt ticalc.org was biased against the z80 series, especially BASIC. I was happy to see that the two current file archivers are more open than the previous staff in terms of features. Back then, there were rumors that Michael Vincent did not feature xLIB because it was competing with his Omnicalc app.

wow... i see...
it used to be pretty bad then...
cause when i started using TIcalc.org i already thought it was like the official news and download central of the TI calculator world... and never really heard of any competition between xlib and omnicalc lol

very nice to know part of the history... thanks for sharing :)

Well in 2008 the community went through some bad shit. A lot of people turned against Omni because of our anti-trolling policies and because a lot of good people left around 2007, a lot of the people that remained around were people who did not care much about the communtiy and troublemakers. This lead to Omnimaga demise and then there was an increased amount of people losing interest for calc stuff since it seemed like it no longer mattered how much work you devoted on games/softwares for the community. All that mattered was if you advocated trolling behavior then you were considered as cool. In addition to that, Cemetech was still recovering from the Jatol incident so besides UTI, there wasn't much activity elsewhere. 2008 was the year there was no z80 POTY, btw.
