A hundred?! That's certainly true. I counted over 3000, and that's not even including some of the more recent addtions. Or are you only converting the creatures? I think that would still be more than 500. Still, it looks like a fun project. :)
I can certainly award medals in accordance with whatever game jam rules you come up with. I doubt there would be an issue with OGA being a "co-host" either, though it would be helpful to see the whole plan before giving an enthusiastic "yes, lets do this!"
By whole plan, I mean what are the rules for winning? what art can be used? Is the code required to be open source? how do contestants submit their game? How are the submissions judged and by whom? The discussion is already going in the right direction, but the answers still need to be ironed out. I don't think the answer to any of those questions would prevent me personally from being on board with this. It's more about making sure nothing is being promised on behalf of OGA that can't really be delivered... like prizes.
I think farrer's mention of the LPC is a good model to imitate here, but I'm not familiar with the pitfalls that may have run into. I wasn't around when all that was going down. "...was too much work for those envolved in judgement, money raise/sponsoring, etc..." tell me more about that.
Copying text from other applications can change the encoding. The forum has trouble with a lot of extended ANSI symbols, many if which look identical to UTF8 symbols (like left quotation marks looking like neutral quotation marks) if the text you're pasting contains those encodings it will give you the error above. Sometimes it helps to click "disable rich text" before clicking save.
I've been deleting spam (and deleting the spammer's account) and not just unpublishing it. However, I'm seeing a lot of spam being unpublished by another admin and the spammer's account is left undeleted and unblocked. Should I not be deleting spam or spam accounts?
dead? I don't know. I'll have to check into that. public domain photo? obviously that falls into the "permission to use it is explicitly granted" category.
Keep me posted.

We classify it as a bug as well. It just hasn't been resolved yet.

Weird. I thought I got both of you at the same time... anyway, you should also be good to go, now. :)
Yeah. In that photo's case, they make it a little more clear-cut:
"murky"
