Good luck to everyone :)

Short question: the voting results are always displayed as "4 - 6%" and similar. Where does that uncertainity come from? :P
Wouldn't it be simpler to have one decimal place, i.e. "5.3%"?

It is 4 votes and 6% of overall votes.  ;)  And yes, adding some decimal places would be a good idea. - Done  :)

Also for the record there was a tie for first place of the theme selection. To break that tie we did coin toss using a random number generator.

<zsbzsb> ok guys, here is my trouble now
<zsbzsb> there is a tie in the theme voting
<zsbzsb> me and Jebbs talked and we can do either 1) flip a coin 2) have you guys pick one here 3) me just pick a theme 4) do something
<zagabar> flip a coin seems most fair imo
<eXpl0it3r> zagabar: Yeah, mostly time.
<eXpl0it3r> zsbzsb: coin
* kim chants
<kim> game! jam! game! jam! game! jam!
<zsbzsb> ok, since the theme gets announced in <2 mins lets flip a coin
<zsbzsb> 0-49 == Electricity
<zagabar> :D
<zsbzsb> 50-99 == Puzzle
<zsbzsb> Marybeth, will flip the coin
<zsbzsb> .py from random import randint; print(randint(0, 99));
<Marybeth> 81
<zagabar> :D
<zsbzsb> well Puzzle it is
<zagabar> puzzle then it is

I have a cool idea but I don't know if I've got time to implement it :-\

Even if I don't make the deadline I might carry the idea forward anyway.

Good luck to all participants!

It's a pity "electricity" has not been chosen. I personally like it if topics are a bit specific, "puzzle" is a very broad category, especially for a jam ;)

It's also interesting how many topics have gotten zero points. Apparently a lot of people discarded their ideas when they saw the others.

Yeah indeed :)
Why not combining both themes then?
Well... you probably already started working so nvm :D

Good luck to everyone and have fun! ;)
