I think we should only acknowledge new ideas for games that are yet to start. EI was running for some time before I announced this contest. I can understand Hurin's desire for it to be included as it's a new format and one that started relatively close to the announcement of this contest.

What I would suggest however, is to grant Hurin a special extension in which he can submit a new idea. Would that be satisfactory? I don't want to change the rules too much as that would be disrespectful to the other candidates.
