    1. @Art-Helper will be responsible for uploading any changes to badges or icons that pass through the gauntlet
      • If you are an active developer and wish to help finalize icon-gauntlet results, please DM gollawiz for our contribution tracking Google Sheet. You will need to verify and finalize your results there.
    2. 24 hour cooldown on repeat gauntlets
      • 24 hours must pass before submitting the same game to the icon-gauntlet. Note: Achievement badges and game icons are considered separate and may be run alongside each other. Future gauntlets are still subject to the 24 hour rule.
    3. Updates to your gauntlet
      • If you have any mistakes in your current gauntlet, let @Art-Helper know. Your original poll will be deleted and you must re-poll for accurate results.
    4. Multiple Icons
      • Completed Gauntlets for multiple images in the same set must be labeled according to the order they appear in the achievement list. (Do NOT use the achievement ID) A .zip for the badges must then be posted in the “Icon Gauntlet Uploads” thread found in gauntlet-discussion.
