I'll probably do some blogging of some sort, and post some details of the system I'll use to evaluate products (I'm happy to answer questions about it now, in fact), but I have to admit I'm unlikely to tip my hand to what products I plan to try to get nominated in my discussions with the other judges.......and honestly, that's the reason. It's because the nominees are chosen in discussion with four other people, all of whom may hate my favorite thing. I'm not suggesting that I won't try to call attention to products that I think are good (I will); however, I do understand that being too open can be a bad thing, especially when products that were publicly lauded disappear from the nomination slate in the long process of seeking consensus among the judges.There are a lot of products in almost every category, and narrowing it down to five that five people of reasonably disparate interests can agree on will be tough. Period.To that end, I'd really recommend that people really look closely at the games each of the candidates (myself included) have said they liked in their posted questionnaires - and then pick people whose preferences seem to match your own. If you want your interests represented, try to find someone who already plans to do so, and vote for them. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />In all seriousness, I hope that's me. After all - I'm trying to save you from a laser apolocalypse. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
