Well that I object to completely. You don't need judges for that, just a formula!
The ENnies are democratic. Nobody tells the judges
how they should vote; nobody has the right to, and nobody should have the right to. They are democratically elected representives, who campaign for election with platforms. The community votes and elects these judges as their representaives. If their platform is "I will only vote for games with pink covers" and the community votes to elect that judge, then democracy has spoken, however much Megan or anyone else may disagree.
One person. One vote. Democracy. Nobody gets to say "the majority is wrong".
And THAT is the fundamental principle of the ENnies. Democracy. And anyone who diagreess with how it goes is more than welcome to run for election. If they have valid points and the
majority agree, they'll get elected. Everyone has the opportunity and the power.
