[QUOTE="EricNoah, post: 1040862, member: 4"] My own personal thoughts on various topics: 1) I very much like the amount of "sway" the general public has, and I think that the fact that they elect judges, and the judges get to read everything, and then the judges present nominees and the fans vote -- I think all of that is right on and should continue. 2) I would not be in favor of limiting how many categories a given product, or a given publisher, could enter. 3) I would like to have seen more WotC presence this year and was a little surprised at how many categories were not open to them. As I said earlier, I'd like to see the art and cartography categories opened to all. 4) I would not be in favor of a "bronze" or other level of award. I did like the silver, it was cool getting to recognize twice as many products, but I think beyond that it begins to get diluted. 5) I'm wondering if discussion of ENnies funding is premature. Let's wait and see if Russ has some concerns in this area before we get too worked up over that. 6) I thought it a little weird that games that weren't d20 system based were in some of the categories. Now, for a category like Best Accessory, I can see the inclusion of system-neutral materials, that's not an issue for me. I just don't feel like I know where the "boundaries" of the awards go in certain categories. 7) I would like to have other alternative voting schemes examined. For example, I felt that it was odd that you could rank 3 items and say "I don't know" to 2 items in a category. To me, it seems that if you don't know 2 of the 5 items in the category you should just skip the whole category. But again, I only see one potential problem and don't have an adequate solution so some examination is in order here. [/QUOTE]
