Ludum Dare 15 Voting Is On!
Wow! At current count, we have a whopping 144 entries! To start voting on entries, go here:

For the rest of the world, hit this link to see the list of all the entries.

If you made an entry, but for whatever reason weren’t able to submit at the deadline (upload problems, used the old submission method), let us know (via IRC, or respond to this post).
Voting will last for 2 weeks.
Remember, this time you’re being rated on how many entries you voted for. Users that play and rate 25%+ of the entries will see a bronze icon beside their name, 50%+ a silver, and 75%+ a gold. There will be a final list showing the best voters, along with the rest of the results.
Windows Ports
Hurry up and get your Windows ports in! The longer you wait, the less time people have to play and vote for your entries. For more details on porting, see this post.
Also, some people need help porting their Python+PyGame games to Windows+Py2EXE. If you can help out, see the comments here. If you need a place to upload the ports, ask a moderator in IRC for the FTP info.
Timelapse Videos
Be sure to tag your posts with the tag timelapse. It’ll make it easier for others to find your videos, and for me to collect them all.
Suggestions
If you have any suggestions regarding the compo (things to change, little things to make things nicer, etc), post them in the comments here:

Thanks everyone for coming out and making Ludum Dare 15 our biggest and best compo yet! Now go vote!

I must thank you Mike and Phil for running the show with great success! Keep it on! This is so much fun!
May I ask what the # shown in parentheses after each name is on the voting list? I’m trying to figure it out. If my suspicions are correct, and it represents the amount of votes that person’s entry has had, then I’ll make sure to seek out the lower numbers to make sure they get voted.
Yes it is. And yes, it would be best to seek out entries with fewer votes. What we’ve done though is highlighted 20 random yet consistent entries per person. Many people will certainly dig through the pretty pictures to find cool games, but what were hoping is that a majority play and vote for the 20 assigned to them. That way, we can statistically get a good voting spread. Well, in theory.
Of course, anyone that decides to hunt down and try games with the fewest votes is extra awesome.
Ahh, I see! I was wondering why there was only 20 visible by default, but that’s actually a really clever setup! Great job with that, you guys
it will all pay off, I’m sure, especially considering the insane amount of entries this round.
So I’ll finish up my 20, then go scouting for ones with low vote counts
Peace out!
Heh.. maybe in future versions of this voting / social engineering experiment you can get rewarded more proportionally for later voting on entries with less votes…
Well done and thanks for the new voting system.
Also devilishly devised as I thought to simply finish the first 20. But somehow I never reached the end
