Generally, I think it's better that new submissions not start out on top--it sorta leads to chaos, and makes the ratings less meaningful. I also don't think it's a good idea to make it a difficult process, because that will lead to people simply not bothering, thus perpetuating bad pieces staying on top. At best, you'd probably end up with a red-steckled elbermung sort of situation, where it just devolves into pointing at things and saying "No, no, no."
I was quite excited when this general idea was first brought up. I feel like this would be more useful, and does really have the potential to encourage the sort of collaboration which could add a lot of value to the site. I have, for instance, had a lot of fun working with Blarumyrran's and Antifarea's works, and it would be neat for that sort of thing to be encouraged.
I do wonder, though, whether there will come a time when hand-assigning art will become logistically difficult (though the results would definitely be better).
Well, similarly, a Windows user like me is unlikely to want to spend a lot of time on a linux-only project. It's certainly an important thing to consider, though, since I suspect a relatively large proportion of the population here are linux users.
Well, at least not random chunks of assets. If they could be gathered in such a way as to be generally useful to a variety of projects that would be good.
Yeah... I was about to comment the same thing. You really won the name lottery. Would you mind if I named one or more dwarves after you in the future?

not pictured: excellent and meaningful commentary
Hmm.... I like it! Hopefully I'll get a chance to do a 2.0, and that'll definitely be top priority. Great edit, there.
This is one reason I love pixel art. No formatting issues! Just don't ever use .jpg, and you're golden.
Yeah, this spider is an epic win. Fantastic work, Nubux!

If I were you, I would just tile four of them together and use the center rectangle. It should still tile fine.
Why do half of the FOSS type games I've heard of seem to be RTSes? It's a little frustrating for me, not being a big fan of the genre...
