[QUOTE="Roudi, post: 2633663, member: 12423"] I'm not voting for the judges this year for the same reasons I didn't vote in the last ENnies' poll: the awards aren't relevant to me anymore. I admit, I'm a pretty niche gamer. I play & develop d20 Modern alost exclusively, and my favoured publishers run the gamut of minor celebrity (RPGObjects) to small press companies. Last year, these areas of interest just weren't represented at the ENnies. The year before, that representation was minor. It almost seems that Monte Cook's blasting rant against the 3rd party small press "takeover" of the ENnies has reduced the number of small press publishers of whom I enjoy from entering the ENnies. I'm not implying there is a connection here, only noting the coincidence. I'll likely vote for next year's judges, mainly because I'll have a vested interest in the ENnies that year (ie, I will be submitting something for judgement). For now, though, there's just no reason for me to; I have my doubts that the ENnies will have more appeal for me this year than last year or the year before. Sorry if this offends. The question was "why haven't you voted?" and I answered it honestly. [/QUOTE]
