Uh\u2026 Yeah. I don\u2019t really get this formula. Seems like a rather simple subtraction, but still\u2026I\u2019m not sure, if I\u2019m *supposed* to play and rate as many games as possible, or if I rather aim to have more votes on my game than I vote others\u2026 There\u2019s something in the legend about a \u201closer\u201d badge, if you are trying to reach a high coolness rating ( = rate a lot of games by him\/herself?) Is \u201ccoolness\u201d a bad thing? I mean I played a lot of games, voted approximately for 20 others (as suggested by the LD website) and now, I\u2019m not really sure\u2026 am I supposed to vote or not?<\/p>\n
As I understood it so far, you shouldn\u2019t vote for others too much, if you don\u2019t have many votes on your own submission. Reason: Submitting 1 star on every other game to downvote these? I would never ever do that, it\u2019s just that while I love playing a lot of games and submitting comments and\/or ratings, I don\u2019t want to \u201churt\u201d my own ranking, but I don\u2019t want to not rate others at all, since they need a certain count of votes in order to even be taken into account anyway.<\/p>\n
I know that there\u2019s another post about this topic, but I still don\u2019t understand. IF the coolness thing is good, then a low default score would make sense, but then what is that \u201cL\u201d thing all about? And if coolness is a bad thing, why would people vote at all?<\/p>\n
