Many of us don't vote right now, and consider the results meaningless, specifically because of the attitude that it's not a level playing field. Voting might be a popularity contest, but that doesn't somehow mean that the current winners of that popularity contest are more valid than if WotC won that popularity contest.The ENnies have changed noticeably almost every year I've looked at them. The idea that last years model is somehow the RIGHT model, is a bit of a stretch.The ENnies enjoy a good measure of legitimacy currently because the RPG market is tiny, and they're probably the best of the otherwise worthless awards. The fact that they are barely important anyway is a result of the fact that RPG's don't have a solid core and the results are largely meaningless in regards to what people actually like or want.The best the ENnies can hope for is to represent those that choose to be represented, and perhaps give some notice to products that otherwise wouldn't have it. The latter effect mitigated simply by the fact that a product is probably already dead, long before it gets nominated for an ENnie.</blockquote>
