I would consider that cheating then, it sounds like you’re instructing them all to rate it positively in a way that you can “game” the ranking system and have your game sit above others. The point of our rating system is not to see who has the largest family.
Thanks
Ooo... I see. The game that I promote to my friends is at the game jam and also in the voting period, and all of my friends and family were not in the game jam. So they're not in the position to rate my game, they're just giving the game comments. But, however, somehow the traffic kinda boost my game popularity so that it makes her (I mean the game) to be on the 1st row of the list on the game jam submissions list.
I also included my stats here, so we can see where the traffic coming in.
If that was considered to be a cheating activity, then I'm sorry and, I promise it won't happen again. But at least give me some advice on how to promote my game properly. Thank you.
I think if playing and feedbacking suggestions without having a profile (e.g. messaging in another way of communication), sounds fair and wont increase votes in that case. Just its "played"-number and stats about where players found your game (reference to its prev. section on itch-page)
It's just something that I had in mind to keep my game floating on the homepage list. But if I do have 10K family members, I'll run for the presidential election... XD
