[QUOTE="BigFreekinGoblinoid, post: 732839, member: 5988"] In earlier threads on the topic, I was in favor of adding some categories this year, but OGL would definitely NOT be one of them, for the simple reason that there are not enough products published in the category. My suggestion for including more .pdf nominations was to add a "best product under $10 USD retail " category. This idea may merit some further refinement... Prediction: WotC will win LESS ENnies this time around ( looking at the ENnie categories and the WotC products from the last year leads me to beleive this), so I think the "WotC Issue" will become less of a problem. Having the "Don't Know" voting option will help a bit too. Ooooh - as I'm typing, a light bulb started shining above my noggin. Here's the good stuff: Inspired by Aaron's idea - Why not have voters rank EVERY nomination on a 1-5 scale in the standard market research survey manner? Winners would be selected by the highest score per vote - an AVERAGE - NOT the "popular" vote. (The popular vote could still be captured/tabulated of course...). If the voter is not familiar with a product in a given category, A "don't know" vote would not hurt the nominees chances of winning, as the "don't know" votes would not be included in determining the average score. Obviously this adds a lot of complexity to the survey creation, and it will probably need to be hosted off the messageboards... No resgistration required, but cookies would dissalow repeat voters. ... light bulb off now... I also agree that a "Judges Choice" is WAAAY redundant. The responsibility they have in agreeing on the nominees is enough representation of their favorites. The BFG jury is still out on the "publishers award" idea. Sounds like it would be difficult to arrange. [/QUOTE]
