[QUOTE="Erik Mona, post: 1038166, member: 2174"] Steve Creech said: >>> Green Ronin is very popular among EN Worlder's and gained substantial votes as a result every time one of their products was nominated. >>> I think that's absurd. Green Ronin is popular around here because, simply put, they're one of the best publishers in the industry, and consistently produce products that receive rave reviews here and elsewhere. They gained the votes because their products are worthy of those votes, not because people think they have a cute logo or because everyone just wanted to pull a prank on Trancejeremy. Your suggestion that products only be considered for one category is tantamount to the Academy Awards not allowing a Best Actor nominee for a movie nominated for Best Picture. I don't mean to be rude, but that's dumb. One of the reasons it makes sense to allow the nominations to fall where they may is because it takes _a lot_ of people to put together an RPG product. I was lucky enough to step onstage a time or two at this year's ENnies representing my freelance company, Super Unicorn Design Studio. Graphic Designer Sean Glenn and I dedicated most of our free time last year to contribute to M&M's success and make it the best game it could possibly be. We're enormously proud of our work, and are very pleased to have garnered a couple of graphic design awards that recognize our hard work as something valuable to ENnie voters. Under your solution, let's say that M&M still won Best d20 Game and Privateer's Monsternomicon still one Best Monster Book. _Neither_ the gold nor the silver winners would then be eligible for the graphic design or art awards, which seems to me a shame. It essentially means that the award goes to the third best product, which, while nice, is hardly as meaningful when the two strongest competitors have been eliminated from contention. "Yay! I won the gold award for third place!" Lame. --Erik [/QUOTE]
