Ok ok let me try to explain again.

I will be CGG, someone else will be NEH
so CGG, makes a game, and NEH too, but NEH's entry for the competition will be CGG's game, IF neh wants to have a the worst game, NEH must try to make a game better than CGG's game, because NEH's entry is CGG'S game.

Yes the date is moved because I need more participants.

The logic makes perfect sense to me. But here's how it should go:

You make a game for your partner, but your partner is actually you.
Your goal is to make the most medium-quality game of the bunch.
Halfway through the competition, you must switch the game with the person sitting directly adjacent to the standard deviation of the person next to your chosen member.
After the game is finished, you are your game, only you are actually the game of your game, which is the game of your partner's partner.
The winner is the loser and the loser is the winner.

I had explained it, on yyg and people seem to understand it, so ill try again here.

Since your making the game of someone else, and you want to have the worse game. The game you make has to be amazing so the person your making the game for loses (because the game attributed to him is not the worse).

To win, you depend on the person making your game making it awful. Obviously since he wants you to lose he will try to make it the best he can.

In the end the winner is the person who's ''partner'' made the worse game, and by worse I mean the least best.

The twist is that you don't work to win, you work to make your partner lose (hence higher your chances to win). You also can't sabotage your partner, making an awful game garantees he wins and you lose. To sabotage him you'd have to make the best game and since everyone wants that, its easier said than done.

(also consider a real worse game comp wouldn't work: empty room and you win!)

hope this helps, its a great concept and changes things off, unfortunately I dont think I can participate.

Good luck to everyone!

I want to join, but first....

So we make a game for someone else. I have a question about this. Is the game you make that other person's game for only in this competition or does every right you have of the game go to that person? I don't want to make a game only to not be able to put it on my website because it's not considered MY game, neither do I want to take credit for something I didn't make.

I understand it, it just seems like it won't work. You have very little control over how well you do. It seems as if it is random who wins - whoever is teamed up with the worst person will win rather than the person who did the best. It's a nice idea, but it needs work. Perhaps, you have a two-stage jam. One where you make a concept based on the theme in the first stage, then you get someone else's concept to make for the second stage. Then two people win - the person who made the concept, and the person who turned the concept into the best game. Just my idea, feel free to rip it to shreds.

Of course will be your game, but in the comp it won't be your entry.
Sorry guys I'm not very active here, and looks like Joh explained it correctly so Ill put that in the OP.

@Ponies for peace
The theme is exploration.

Also your partner will be random.

EDIT: Actually, nevermind. My schedule is too busy for a month-long competition.
