[QUOTE="Orcus, post: 305748, member: 1254"] I just am not sure that I want to peek behind the process. That gets us into a whole realm I dont think I want to go. I'm not familiar with EarthShadow (sorry :) ), so I dont want to speak for him or her. But I dont think ES meant to attack Morrus or the judges, Colonel. The tone of the post was more frustrated than distrustful as I read it. And I dont think anyone here is attacking Morrus or the judges. I think everyone did a great job. But back to the question of showing the results... I can certainly see WotC winning all the categories they won for. I can see WotC running away with all but one of the categories. MoP is great. CoC is really great. LotIF had a great cover. Dungeon/Polyhedron is pretty hard to beat. So all those make sense. To me, the tightest race should have been Setting. Both Rokugan and Scarred Lands should have really given OA a big run for its money. In my humble opinion, both SL and Rokugon are better than OA. But regardless of that opinion (and even if opinions differ on this) I would imagine most people would agree that based on quality of content the votes should have been pretty close in this category. So if the results were tight, that would reaffirm my belief that this is not a popularity contest (or not a runaway popularity contest). But if the voting in that category is all WotC by a landslide then that would concern me. But then again, maybe my choice of this award as a "litmus test" of the voting is not universally agreed. Hmmm. I still dont know about showing results. Clark [Colonel: I applaud your edit of your prior post. Well done.] [/QUOTE]
