I voted for the poetry as being unbalanced - but as I can see, you've already been discussing that, so just take this as an agreement that it is. I still find the idea of scoring poetry on word count incredibly problematic, but that could be personal bias because I write a lot of shorter poems, and we were always taught to whittle away words to make the poem better. But I don't think it's working like that any more, is it?

I will say about the eventsquare, though: I found all of the games really confusing, which is why I signed up for a few and then never participated. It might just have been me? But it felt really bombardy and sort of... overwhelming? I don't know. Maybe I just preferred the slower pace of the minigames when I had less time to look over and really understand the festival games.

Yeah I don't think there's a way we can not score by word count. There are similar issues with short fic too -- revising a piece repeatedly to remove words takes more time for less points, but that kind of work would vary from person to person.

And yeah I think the GF games were usually pretty complex so required a bit of reading to figure out what was going on. From the feedback so far I'm thinking it would be good to (1) tone down the complexity of the games, and (2) have fewer of them.
