It seems to me we are saying the exact same thing, is there a something I missed?
The reason I think we see so much bitterness towards p2p games here on TMS particularly is that the listing is setup to be a competition. Bringing out the competitive nature of the various owners is bound to set off these type of reactions. In a way it was why I was (am) against adding restrictions as to how the votes are garnered by admins.
No matter how many restrictions you place on the way the votes are tallied, there is always bound to be some type of imbalance. The size of the pbase the largest variable, although most anyone who looks at the list can tell how this is factored in. But there are so many other, less-obvious ways that determine how often people vote. The location/size of the voting link and reminders from admins to vote are two things off the top of my head that if, used to the extremes, act in virtually the same manor as incentives, skewing the rankings away from the dedicated-player votes ( used loosely) towards the games that are using the list as a merely promotion.
Is it now immoral to ask your players to vote, to place any type of reference to the site other than the voting link? What exactly are people wanting the list to represent?
