Which was pretty sad, because I can\u2019t \u2013 even though I want to. (I didn\u2019t participate this time.)<\/p>\n<p>But why not allow people like me to vote \u2013 people who have done past Ludum Dares, but were unable to do the current one? LD would get more votes\/game without sacrificing voting quality. Plus, I get a nice diversion for a few hours. It\u2019s a win-win!<\/p>","time":"January 1st, 2012 12:55 pm","title":"Why not let past participants vote?","title_was_empty":false}
