Thanks for the nice things you said about my game.

I also like reading your criteria for games.

Thank you for rating so many games.

D = 50 + Ratings – 5*SQRT(MIN(Coolness, 100))

After 50 is where it becomes very difficult to get any notoriety.

D seems to equal something along the lines of 50 – Coolness + Times you’ve been rated (sort of) UNTIL you have been rated 50 times.

Once you’ve been rated 50 times, D simply equals number of ratings you’ve received. Since it’s nearly impossible to show up on the front page with a score of 54 or higher, once you hit that number the ONLY way to get further ratings is to either promote your game aggressively or to have it go viral among the community.

Well…under the 20 default pick is the list of the games I’ve already rated and aside the author is the number of ratings (Well…I suppose it is)
You got 46…close to 50, that’s already great
