Can someone please explain why the rule about allowing updates to submitted games has been applied?

I must admit that I personally feel it's a bit like cheating. Which game is to be evaluated, the game that was first entered, or the game that has been altered as the competition progresses?


There's already a thread addressing this.

Just out of curiosity, is this going to be a rule that's included in every IFComp from now on?

Hmm, looking at the news at ifcomp.org it seems a lot of IFComp games have been updated recently.

Quote:
Welcome to IFComp 2011, the competition for short text adventures.

News

06 October: The games Calm, Death of Schlig, The Hours, Fan Interference, Kerkerkruip, Sentencing Mr Liddell, Blind, It, Dead Hotel, Andromeda Awakening, Tenth Plague, and Vestiges have been updated.


I've also found a topic by Stephen Granade where he talks about it.

Quote:
The games are all up and available from http://ifcomp.org/ or your
friendly local IF Archive mirror. One change this year: authors will be
allowed to update their games during the competition. I'll be posting
updated games at least once a week during the competition.

I don't want to troll or criticise Stephen, but I'm not sure if that new rule will work out as he expects. I mean a lot of people have already reviewed, played or are currently playing the original games. So who's going to play the updated versions of the games during the competition? Eeeh, how is that supposed to work? Stephen said he want to allow updates each week? So what, we gonna play new update versions of the games each week? How is that supposed to work with the 2-hour play rule where judges have 2 hours to play and judge each game? So now it's 2 hours per update? I'm confused.

What the heck? Why is there a new thread for this topic on each fucking subforum on this site? Can't we discuss that in one place?
