The post about games that were created before the contest started gave specific evidence. You haven't listed specific project you feel have problems. Even if you had, you have no evidence. In that case, I think it would be better to message the contest organizers directly to ask to look into them. I'm personally more inclined to wait and see.

Don't resort to attacking people. It's not defeatist attitude to say you won't win. My game is too incomplete. While it has a good framework, I don't think people will see my vision. Others may have played other games and decided those games are better. I submitted my work because I enjoyed the contest and made progress on my game idea. If I win, that would be great but it's not why I submitted.

I said in my original post that I didn't want to call out specific projects because I could be wrong. I even wrote at the end "Look and decide for yourself". I don't have evidence, that wasn't the point of my post. The point is to raise awareness so people here in the community and the judges themselves will carefully look and reason if they believe a submission has fraudulent votes. 

I'm glad you could have fun and make progress on your game. But everyone has their own reasons for entering the contest especially when there's large cash prizes on the line. You basically attacked me by saying my concerns were invalid/pointless because the chances of me winning are low and I should just have "fun". If we're going to participate in this contest, we should all be concerned about whether or not things are running appropriately.

But no one can look for themselves. The only ones who can look at the information is itch.io and maybe the contest organizers.

I'm sorry if you feel my post attacked you by saying your concerns aren't valid. It wasn't my intent although in reading it again I could see how it might be construed that way.

It's all good. Ultimately I want to say good luck to everyone, and I'm sure whoever wins this contest will most definitely deserve it.

So what is your game? I don't see one under your account. I assume you are a member of group which submitted a day.

This is a throwaway account. I don't want anything I say here in the community during the voting period to affect my game. There's the danger of trolls, or perhaps someone decides to rate my game highly for the wrong reason. Good luck to you.

Well if it is a contender with significant number of ratings, I may not play it as I'm focused on trying those without a lot of ratings. Good luck.
