Hi Jason,

Actually, voting for a game that is not nominated won't always work. Given GAMA
and its leadership, its safe to say, IMO, it would rarely work. Last year there
was no best new PBM game. They didn't nominate one. But the fans of our 1483
Online game came out in force to vote for it using the blank submission option
on the voting form.

Amazingly, still no award was issued. Who wins and who does not win an Origins
award would thus appear to be 100% up to the whims of either Rick Loomis or
Charles Ryan. If they feel like letting you win, you get to win. If they don't
want you to win, then you don't.

Just ignore the damn things. They are worthless.
