3. SOME STATISTICS:
Forty-five different games were described (counting Shreyas's Whispers in the Door as a separate game from Snow From Korea).
Of those 45 games, the designers bowed out on only nine of them, and that's counting Raven's DawnFire which was more a "here's a game I won't have time to submit" post at the last minute than a bowing out.
No one "abandoned" a game. Every designer of every game either formally bowed out, or submitted substantial content (whether any given game is "completed" is of course difficult to define).
That leaves thirty-six hefty main-course games for our Chairman to sample and judge. Holmes-sama has reaped the whirlwind.
The steady geometric progression of numbers of entries (9 – 17 – 36, IIRC) with each Iron Game Chef raises interesting questions about the future of the sport.
Who is "Designer X"? A bit of intrigue in Kitchen Stadium this time!
4. INDEXING NOTES:
Last time I did an Iron Game Chef index, (http://www.indie-rpgs.com/viewtopic.php?t=6538) I listed the games in order of their first posting of "substantive content," but this time the line between teasers, cover copy, and short introduction text was just too hard to draw. So I listed them in order of their first mention in the thread (whether or not that first mention included the title, and whether or not the title was changed later).
Categorizing the short initial posts is a bit tricky. I hope no one feels too misrepresented. "Cover copy" means brief text consisting primarily of in-game-world description of setting, global situation, and/or the population from which the player-characters are drawn. "Intro" is a combination of cover copy (however brief) and comments about the game design (however brief). An "overview" is a longer (longer than about a page length) "intro." Preliminary comments about the game entirely on the design and concept level ("This game will use Cool Whip and cigarette lighters as the basis of its resolution system") I've linked as "concept description." A title or image alone, with no description, I've linked as "teaser."
Where posts are given their own titles besides the title of the game (such as "Part 1" or "Core Mechanic") I've used those titles for the link. Otherwise I've tried to characterize the main content of the post as accurately and briefly as I could.
In cases where later drafts were posted reiterating substantial amounts of material in previous posts, I put the "complete draft" (didn't want to call it "final draft" for obvious reasons) links at the top of the list, then "history:" to set off the original sequence of posts. This was to minimize the chance of readers reading long passages without realizing that revised versions of the same passages were available.
For contributors' names I used byline names or sig names where they've appeared on the posts, followed by the username in parens if different from the sig name. And of course, just the username for those who posted without bylines or sigs (even if I happen to know the real name).
My meticulousness doth blot out the sun, and yet a post with so many urls and so many fiddly little numbers in the urls must contain errors. Let me know and I'll post corrections and updates.

Walt;
I love you.
Dav
Quick reply to say: I double-checked my links for you, and they're good. Thanks a hell of a lot for doing this. Just in grabbing my own post urls for my final draft was a pain in the ass. Sheesh. You get a medal. In the shape of a chef hat. Or maybe a hat shaped like a medal. Something.
I too checked the links to my works, and they're flawless. Thanks for the work, it must have been grueling. We value you immensely for it.
For anyone else: I suggest that everybody need not start telling how great the index is. We do have so standards here in the Forge about filler posts, IGC or not. We have a couple of comment threads for people feeling like gabbing about the competition:
The After Action Report (http://www.indie-rpgs.com/viewtopic.php?t=10883), a general feedback thread.
The Lesson thread (http://www.indie-rpgs.com/viewtopic.php?t=10867), for what you learned from this.
