Hi, it probably seems like I'm complaining, so please don't flame me, but I noticed that "Mommy" is now on the top games list, with only 10 ratings, and a score of 7, while Ulysses has 12 ratings, and a score of 7. I liked "Mommy", so I'm not complaining about it being on the list! But there are games on the Top Games list with lower scores than 7...

actually, being on the Top Games list isn't really an issue, but does my story have a high enough rating to at least be shown under Sci-Fi category. (I think you guys call it featuring or something?)

and user plays

And total ratings, apparently. I just looked and yours has less ratings than mine, that's probably why. Of course, I have no idea what's happening with ratings if you average them. As far as shown under the Sci-FI category, I think that's only "featured" games, which yours (all of yours, probably) will no doubt become once March or whoever adds it.

Oh, I see what you mean. Ten are counted for me, twelve for you. No idea. I still cannot figure out how/if the ratings system works very well. I want to know what the code thinks is a standard deviation.

if they tell you then they'd have to kill you.
