No problem, Lorna. =C2=A0Just make sure you remove one of your 10 votes in =
the app.

Mark (and anyone else), feel free to make a write-in vote for Little Town i=

Okay, everyone, it=E2=80=99s time to get this puppy started! =C2=A0First of=
f is the preliminary round of voting. =C2=A0The goal is to come up with a l=

now have 215 games to choose from. =C2=A0During the first round, everyone w=

s, plus ties, will receive nominations and will advance to the final round =
of voting.

I took the suggestions and combined the two versions of Unmatched into one =
entry. =C2=A0That entry is called =E2=80=9CUnmatched (system)=E2=80=9D. =C2=
=A0I did something similar with =E2=80=9CFunkoverse Strategy Game (system)=
=E2=80=9D, with the idea being that any version of these should be folded i=
nto this single entry. =C2=A0This seems like the most appropriate way of ha=
ndling instances like this and avoids a misleading splitting of the vote.

Speaking of voting, you will do so by using our nifty little voting applica=
tion. =C2=A0No changes from previous years, but I=E2=80=99m sure no one wil=
l mind a refresher. =C2=A0First, go to the following website: =C2=A0http://=
meepleschoice.......win<http://meepleschoice.win/>. =C2=A0You=E2=80=99ll se=
e five menu headers at the top right of the screen. =C2=A0If you created an=
 account in a previous year, click on =E2=80=9CSign In=E2=80=9D. =C2=A0You=
=E2=80=99ll be prompted for your Login (that is, your Username) and your Pa=
ssword. =C2=A0Put both of those in and you=E2=80=99ll be ready to cast vote=
s. =C2=A0If you don=E2=80=99t remember your password, click on the Forgot P=
assword? prompt and we=E2=80=99ll get your password back out to you. =C2=A0=
If you don=E2=80=99t have an account, click on "Sign Up" and you'll be aske=
d to create a Username, provide your Email address, and create a Password. =
=C2=A0You can also log in using either your Google or Facebook accounts. =
=C2=A0Once you've filled out the fields, click on the Sign Up button and yo=
u'll be entered into the database.

Once you=E2=80=99re logged in, you can vote by going to the Home screen. =
=C2=A0There are two big buttons there, labelled =E2=80=9CVote=E2=80=9D and =
=E2=80=9CSee Results=E2=80=9D. =C2=A0Clicking on the =E2=80=9CSee Results=
=E2=80=9D button won=E2=80=99t show you anything, because I=E2=80=99ve hidd=
en all the earlier results to reduce the clutter during the vote. =C2=A0(Do=
n=E2=80=99t worry, I=E2=80=99ll put them back after we=E2=80=99re finished.=
) =C2=A0So the button you want to click on is the Vote one. =C2=A0Doing so =
will show you a screen with all 215 games listed in their full ludopathic g=
lory. =C2=A0To the left of each game is a green button that says =E2=80=9CA=
dd vote (10)=E2=80=9D. =C2=A0To vote for a game, click on the button. =C2=
=A0The button will turn red and say =E2=80=9CRemove vote=E2=80=9D. =C2=A0Th=
at shows that you voted for it. =C2=A0Also note that all the other green bu=
ttons now have a (9) in parentheses, to show that you only have nine votes =
left. =C2=A0If you want to change your vote, just click on a red button; it=
 will change back to green and it, and all the other green buttons, will ha=
ve their parenthetical values increased by 1. =C2=A0Once you=E2=80=99ve vot=
ed for 10 games, the text on the other games will change to =E2=80=9Cvote l=
imited=E2=80=9D and those buttons will be disabled, keeping you from voting=
 for an eleventh game. =C2=A0The only way you can add a new game is by remo=
ving your vote for one of the games you=E2=80=99d selected.

That's it. =C2=A0There's no button to register your final vote, because the=
 system records your votes automatically as you vote for games. =C2=A0The a=
pp remembers your votes after you leave the screen and/or logout. =C2=A0Whe=
n you return to the application, you'll see all the choices you've previous=
ly made. =C2=A0Because there's no formal way to finalize your vote, make su=
re you're happy with the selections on the screen before the voting deadlin=
e comes and I shut down the voting.

There=E2=80=99s one other thing to consider. =C2=A0At the top of the voting=
 page, there=E2=80=99s a statement about the voting preference you set last=
 year. =C2=A0It states whether or not you want to let other users see how y=
ou voted. =C2=A0If you=E2=80=99re happy with the preference listed, just ig=
nore it. =C2=A0If you want to change your preference, or you haven=E2=80=99=
t set it earlier (maybe this is your first year voting), click on the =E2=
=80=9CChange this=E2=80=9D button. =C2=A0Doing so will cause your preferenc=
e to toggle between letting your votes be public and letting them be privat=
e. =C2=A0Once all the voting is over, we=E2=80=99ll be able to click on a g=
ame and see the usernames of the people who voted for it, but only among th=
ose who don=E2=80=99t mind letting their votes be public. =C2=A0That will l=
et folks check out how their fellow spielfrieks voted, while still honoring=
 the privacy of those who would rather their votes remain secret.

I=E2=80=99ll give everyone a week for the first round of voting, so sometim=
e next Friday, I=E2=80=99ll shut down the voting. =C2=A0Then I=E2=80=99ll a=
nnounce what the nominated games are and we=E2=80=99ll continue with the fi=
nal round of voting.

If there are any questions about the application, just post them here. =C2=
=A0Have fun voting and let=E2=80=99s pick a great group of nominated games!

ng to the Home screen. &nbsp;There are two big buttons there, labelled =E2=
=80=9CVote=E2=80=9D and =E2=80=9CSee Results=E2=80=9D. &nbsp;Clicking on th=
e =E2=80=9CSee Results=E2=80=9D button won=E2=80=99t show you anything, bec=
ause I=E2=80=99ve hidden all the earlier results to reduce the clutter duri=
ng the vote. &nbsp;(Don=E2=80=99t worry, I=E2=80=99ll put them back after w=
e=E2=80=99re finished.) &nbsp;So the button you want to click on is the Vot=
e one. &nbsp;Doing so will show you a screen with all 215 games listed in t=
heir full ludopathic glory. &nbsp;To the left of each game is a green butto=
n that says =E2=80=9CAdd vote (10)=E2=80=9D. &nbsp;To vote for a game, clic=
k on the button. &nbsp;The button will turn red and say =E2=80=9CRemove vot=
e=E2=80=9D. &nbsp;That shows that you voted for it. &nbsp;Also note that al=
l the other green buttons now have a (9) in parentheses, to show that you o=
nly have nine votes left. &nbsp;If you want to change your vote, just click=
 on a red button; it will change back to green and it, and all the other gr=
een buttons, will have their parenthetical values increased by 1. &nbsp;Onc=
e you=E2=80=99ve voted for 10 games, the text on the other games will chang=
e to =E2=80=9Cvote limited=E2=80=9D and those buttons will be disabled, kee=
ping you from voting for an eleventh game. &nbsp;The only way you can add a=
 new game is by removing your vote for one of the games you=E2=80=99d selec=
ted.<br clear=3D"none"><br clear=3D"none">That's it. &nbsp;There's no butto=
n to register your final vote, because the system records your votes automa=
tically as you vote for games. &nbsp;The app remembers your votes after you=
 leave the screen and/or logout. &nbsp;When you return to the application, =
you'll see all the choices you've previously made. &nbsp;Because there's no=
 formal way to finalize your vote, make sure you're happy with the selectio=
ns on the screen before the voting deadline comes and I shut down the votin=
g.<br clear=3D"none"><br clear=3D"none">There=E2=80=99s one other thing to =
consider. &nbsp;At the top of the voting page, there=E2=80=99s a statement =
about the voting preference you set last year. &nbsp;It states whether or n=
ot you want to let other users see how you voted. &nbsp;If you=E2=80=99re h=
appy with the preference listed, just ignore it. &nbsp;If you want to chang=
e your preference, or you haven=E2=80=99t set it earlier (maybe this is you=
r first year voting), click on the =E2=80=9CChange this=E2=80=9D button. &n=
bsp;Doing so will cause your preference to toggle between letting your vote=
s be public and letting them be private. &nbsp;Once all the voting is over,=
 we=E2=80=99ll be able to click on a game and see the usernames of the peop=
le who voted for it, but only among those who don=E2=80=99t mind letting th=
eir votes be public. &nbsp;That will let folks check out how their fellow s=
pielfrieks voted, while still honoring the privacy of those who would rathe=
r their votes remain secret.<br clear=3D"none"><br clear=3D"none">I=E2=80=
=99ll give everyone a week for the first round of voting, so sometime next =
Friday, I=E2=80=99ll shut down the voting. &nbsp;Then I=E2=80=99ll announce=
 what the nominated games are and we=E2=80=99ll continue with the final rou=
