I didn't expect to see Hectochess featured this soon
We're running low on eligible games that have been nominated and seconded. If more are not nominated and seconded in the future, I may start featuring games that have already been featured.
Especially Jean-Louis Cazaux is frustrated by this process of featuring variants.
Inventors can understandably get frustrated with their own games not being featured soon enough, but games are not being featured just to please inventors. They are being featured to provide visitors with curated options.
Perhaps during the holiday months we could step back and make some improvements to this system rather than feature a variant through the current system.
It seems fine the way it is. We mainly need more participation in nominating and seconding games and more work taken toward making games eligible that are not yet eligible.
No voting system is flawless, but given what some are saying about the voting system, improving the voting system for featured variants, even in a small way, would be a good idea.
Requiring a nomination and a second is already a very lax voting system. The main reason this is not stricter is that games also have to meet eligibility requirements, and this involves people putting in the work to support the games on multiple platforms.
That being said. I might make a case for Seireigi in the future, once it gets a few more years under its belt.
As the inventor, you won't be able to nominate it, but you can work on promoting it. Although I didn't initially find anything in the Play menu or the tags about it being playable, I updated the database to show the Game Courier preset in the Play menu, and I added a Ludii tag to the page to show it can be played on Ludii.
