You could propose to ask for a replacement jury's vote... But then this person's voting wouldn't be consistent with the other votes. So all in all I thought it was easier/better to have jury members not being able to take part.

I'm not sure exactly what system you have cooked up but I feel confident in saying 100 points less than the possible total is still more than 0.
That aside, if the number of judges looking at a piece changes the value of it I'm immediately skeptical about your scoring system.

The scoring system is explained in the post. Please tell me what's weird about it so it can be improved.

Is there a time limit on this?

There is:

The contest will be open to new submissions until Sunday 2014/08/10, 23:59 GMT+2 (CET).

You just say 3 people will judge based on certain %'s
Given that the 100 you mentioned before isn't a % then there's more to it.

Going by that though if you get 4 judges then any judge could submit a work as well since you could exclude the maker from judging that piece without issue.

Looks like I won't be able to get my submission in on time.

If you make a sum of each percentage, you should come to a 100, which are the amount of points/percents a judge can give. Divided over each category individually.
If you make a sum of the scores of each judge, you come to a total over 300 points.

We could have four judges, but that would mean all of them /have/ to submit a work... In which case you wouldn't need a fourth judge anyway. Or some works would have their score on a base 400 instead of 300, and it would still not make for uniform voting behaviour. You could add even more judges, eventually ending up with a poll instead. But if I thought that would be a good idea, we'd have a poll already.

There are plenty of people out there who have all three games already and would like to jury. Perhaps they'd still even submit their own work, just to up the ante, even if it can't contend.

Aww, that's too bad.
I didn't want to drag out the contest too long. A little over two weeks seemed fine. Sorry!

Sorry, I can't really... It's that "je ne sais quoi" that makes something special.
For me, it's about feeling something. For others it might be something else... If a piece of work could have charisma, I'd compare it to that.

I also have an idea, but I'll have to see if I can get it done in time. Ah well

If the consensus is to move the deadline, I'm happy to oblige.

In case the contest would be extended, what would be a good deadline for you guys?

When the beta comes out would be a good deadline.

I'd suggest a month or so.

That means I have more time to procrastinate and do my entry at the last minute!

Posted an entry. Don't know if it's valid or not, though...
