Re: And the nominees are...
It's a celebration of MUDs, not scientific research. Of course it's a popularity contest.
Quite a few games got nominated in various categories, but you might notice a trend in each category: We chose the top three nomination recipients in each category to put up as nominees. So, SoI, just as an example, got a lot of nominations as Best Overall, but didn't get enough to make the top three in Best Fantasy this time around. (Unsurprisingly, those who sent in votes didn't always vote in every category.)
In any event, you're not obligated to participate if you don't care for the methodology. Thanks for your interest in the awards, though.
And, I should probably tell people now that if they vote via e-mail, they're automatically entered in the drawing for the $50 Amazon.com gift certificate.
