That gave the MCA some credibility. One of the last times I followed this award I think there were only 17 or so people that voted through the entire process. That was when the Spielfrieks group was on its last legs. To be frank, an award determined by 17 random people with a Yahoo ID doesn't necessarily have much credibility.<br /><br />What is the current process for determining a winner? Who participates in the voting? If voting is open to anyone, are there enough voters to lend the award some credence, or is it just a popularity contest among random people? <br /><br />I'm asking because I can identify a game that is a hit with my local group that the vast majority of people on BGG have ignored. If we decided to give that game an award, and wrote about it on our personal websites and blogs, would it have any relevance among the broader population of gamers? I think not. (Note: I am not criticizing you here, just wanting to know if the MCA has any credibility).Dave Vander Arkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17725804208397416901noreply@blogger.com
