[QUOTE="Rodrigo Istalindir, post: 4868663, member: 2810"] I completely disagree. First of all, you're making a your own value judgement as to what the 'best' is. It's true that there might be something out there better, but the same is true for commercial RPGs. If it's not nominated, it's not eligible, and the barrier for entry is remarkably low. If someone who's put all that effort into a free RPG that they think is a contender can't be bothered to enter, and if all the supposed fans of this wonderful product can't convince him to enter, why should the ENnies go out of their way to persuade him to do so? If you like a product, tell the publisher you like it and that they should submit it for consideration. Tell your friends that play it to tell the publisher they like it and they should submit it. That enhances the bonds between the publisher and their fans, and between the publishers and the ENnies. That's a win all around. And if it's a good product, it should compete on it's own merits, not some arbitrary cost/benefit analysis. If it's good, it's good regardless of what it costs. [/QUOTE]
