After Spiel-Essen I mailed with different jury-members about this, and the ideas by them about games for the jury differed much. Very much but I will not quote emails here. I tried to get an unaniem jury-view on this which became: all jury-members must get a copy from the publisher before it can be considered for the SdJ, and if it isn't a rule then it is practice so an unwritten rule.
About other things like nescesary things in respect to language of rules, packing, about sales-network, about term in which the jury must have the games, the rules are still unclear. But I mailed about the Cwali-games in Essen so if there was any problem with the games, then they could worn me about that.
So the copies-for-the-jury-issue is quite clear (or I mailed with persons who are not really jury-members).
And that polishy is not strange in my eyes, as long as it is clear and straight.
I didn't complain last year about a free-copies-polishy but about the unclear or not excisting polishy and the fact that a part of the jury runs from booth to booth in Essen and says that they need a free copy for consideration for the SdJ, while that makes no sense when all jury-members need to have a free copy. While other jury-members don't ask for free copies and a part of the jury-members buys games for the normal price without asking for free copies.
And that approach of getting free copies and saying that it is for the SdJ-jury while that in fact turned out to be not true, is what I didn't like at all (and some jury-members with me).
So what I did is sending the Cwali-games of last year to all members (so no matter if they bought a copy self or not) of the jury in februari, which must be early enough. I think I hold that polishy in the future too.
I know that I'm not populair at the SdJ-jury, but I don't want to give them an excuse by not attending for the SdJ.
So I suppose the same happened with the 13 games in the list, otherwise the jury-members should send me back their copies. (In fact, for one of the 13 games I can hardly imagine that the makers send 10 copies to the jury ...)
Maybe my complaints about the attitude of the jury helps to make that the jury will think about their position. From other publishers I hear bigger complaints but the polishy of 'all' publishers is to handle the SdJ-jury as the royalties of the games-scene. And I understand that well, but it doesn't lead to improvements.
