So, to make this question quick.

I want to add a scoreboard. We can't make postjam additions. Should I add it anyway?

The long story short is that I've been watching LD streams, and I really like seeing this trend of community high scores. Watching jitspoe and Adam C Younis the other day going to war over RexTGUN's game was a fun sight and made me realize just how cool it is to hold a scoreboard for an event. It reinforces the community aspect of the ratings period brilliantly.

While we got a scoring program into our final LD game, I only learned how to put together an online scoreboard after the jam rating period had commenced.

So, the question I have is this: would it be acceptable to patch this online feature into the game during the jam period, or does it have to be postjam?
