It looks like none of that stuff is coming, so I think it's time for me to stop worrying about it.  After all, if I come back next time then 22 out of 23 jams still isn't bad!  \n\nI also think that the competition has grown so much since I first entered in 2012, and despite it still being one of the best and least toxic communities on the internet, the sheer number of games has taken away a bit of the magic for me.
