After the slaughter and all this voting I am beginning to feel like the Heron in Aesop's Fables. Then again when participating in an event where the tag line may as well be "The theme is eternally bad." why not be picky. Whats the worst that can happen I end up with a theme I don't like.

I must say though this years lot of themes I think was the poorest of any Ludum Dare I have participated in so far (which is only three). I would bellyache more about how bad the theme will probably be but at this point that horse has been beating not only to death but back to life then to death again. Fortunately I plan on giving what is in my opinion the single best GDC talk (Ralph Koster Practical Creativity) another listen through so I am ready and able to make the best of what I am sure will turn out to be a bad theme. :smile:
