Rules Update

Hi jammers (Jamoweeners?),

Yesterday, we had a new entrant to the jam who immediately submitted a game. After further investigation, this game has also been submitted to a further 50 other jams (and counting). Whilst not explicitly breaking any rules, we have made the decision to remove this submission from our jam, as we feel it wasn't really submitted in the spirit of the jam.

When making a game for a jam, it is your game, you own it and may do whatever you wish with it (including submitting it to other jams). You may even be so proud of it that you submit it to 50 different jams! However, we are a small (growing) community, and although we have prizes and vote on a winner, the whole idea behind the jam is to have fun and take part in the community, play each others games and just generally have a good time.

Going forward, we will amend our rules to cover such a scenario as this, which we will be referring to as a spam entry. We are also open to discussion on this topic, both here and in the discord, if anyone feels this is unfair or wants to challenge this decision.

In the meantime, there are still     2 days left! Good luck with your games, we can't wait to play them!
