I love Mutants and Masterminds, but I'm capable of looking at Hollow Earth Expedition and judging it as a separate entity. I'm not downgrading HEX because it doesn't allow me to create someone that can fly and shoot lasers out of their eyes. And were they both entered into a competition and I judged M&M to be the better game, than no foul, because it's my job to vote for the one that I think is the best.There are no authorities in this field. On the surface you, Meg, or I are just as qualified to make these decisions as Xath or The Universe. What makes them more qualified at this point is that they have read all of the submissions put forth, so they have the best perspective to judge the entrants against each other.What sets them apart from us is the fact that they bothered to run for the position, and committed to doing a mind-numbing amount of work for free.What exactly are the standards that you would have products measured by: spelling? grammar? paper quality? maximum cost to word-count ratio? binding integrity?If we get rid of subjective measurement, here's what we can't account for in the judging process: art, graphic design, emotional impact, creativity, relevance. Those are all measured subjectively.</blockquote>
