everyone, it=E2=80=99s time to get this puppy started!=C2=A0
First off is the preliminary round of voting.=C2=A0 The goal is to come up =
with a list of nominated
games.=C2=A0 Thanks to everyone for their
suggestions; we now have 215 games to choose from.=C2=A0 During the first r=
ound, everyone will be able
to select up to 10 games to vote for and the top 25 vote-getters, plus ties=

will receive nominations and will advance to the final round of voting.</sp=

the suggestions and combined the two versions of Unmatched into one entry.=
=C2=A0 That entry is called =E2=80=9CUnmatched (system)=E2=80=9D.=C2=A0 I d=
id something similar with =E2=80=9CFunkoverse
Strategy Game (system)=E2=80=9D, with the idea being that any version of th=
ese should
be folded into this single entry.=C2=A0 This seems
like the most appropriate way of handling instances like this and avoids a
misleading splitting of the vote.</span></p>

of voting, you will do so by using our nifty little voting application.=C2=
=A0 No changes from previous years, but I=E2=80=99m sure
no one will mind a refresher.=C2=A0 First, go
to the following website:=C2=A0
<a href=3D"http://meepleschoice.win" target=3D"_blank">http://meepleschoice=
..........win</a>.=C2=A0 You=E2=80=99ll
see five menu headers at the top right of the screen.=C2=A0 If you created =
an account in a previous year,
click on =E2=80=9CSign In=E2=80=9D.=C2=A0 You=E2=80=99ll be prompted
for your Login (that is, your Username) and your Password.=C2=A0 Put both o=
f those in and you=E2=80=99ll be ready to
cast votes.=C2=A0 If you don=E2=80=99t remember your
password, click on the Forgot Password? prompt and we=E2=80=99ll get your p=
assword back
out to you.=C2=A0 If you don=E2=80=99t have an
account, click on &quot;Sign Up&quot; and you&#39;ll be asked to create a U=
sername,
provide your Email address, and create a Password.=C2=A0 You can also log i=
n using either your Google
or Facebook accounts.=C2=A0 Once you&#39;ve filled
out the fields, click on the Sign Up button and you&#39;ll be entered into =
the
database.</span></p>

you=E2=80=99re logged in, you can vote by going to the Home screen.=C2=A0 T=
here are two big buttons there, labelled
=E2=80=9CVote=E2=80=9D and =E2=80=9CSee Results=E2=80=9D.=C2=A0 Clicking on
the =E2=80=9CSee Results=E2=80=9D button won=E2=80=99t show you anything, b=
ecause I=E2=80=99ve hidden all the
earlier results to reduce the clutter during the vote.=C2=A0 (Don=E2=80=99t=
 worry, I=E2=80=99ll put them back after we=E2=80=99re
finished.)=C2=A0 So the button you want to
click on is the Vote one.=C2=A0 Doing so will
show you a screen with all 215 games listed in their full ludopathic glory.=
=C2=A0 To the left of each game is a green button
that says =E2=80=9CAdd vote (10)=E2=80=9D.=C2=A0 To vote for a
game, click on the button.=C2=A0 The button
will turn red and say =E2=80=9CRemove vote=E2=80=9D.=C2=A0
That shows that you voted for it.=C2=A0
Also note that all the other green buttons now have a (9) in
parentheses, to show that you only have nine votes left.=C2=A0 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 gre=
en
buttons, will have their parenthetical values increased by 1.=C2=A0 Once yo=
u=E2=80=99ve voted for 10 games, the text on
the other games will change to =E2=80=9Cvote limited=E2=80=9D and those but=
tons will be
disabled, keeping you from voting for an eleventh game.=C2=A0 The only way =
you can add a new game is by
removing your vote for one of the games you=E2=80=99d selected.</span></p>

it.=C2=A0 There&#39;s no button to register your

games.=C2=A0 The app remembers your votes

When you return to the application, you&#39;ll see all the choices you&#39;=

formal way to finalize your vote, make sure you&#39;re happy with the selec=

the screen before the voting deadline comes and I shut down the voting.</sp=

want to let other users see how you voted.=C2=A0

haven=E2=80=99t set it earlier (maybe this is your first year voting), clic=
k on the
=E2=80=9CChange this=E2=80=9D button.=C2=A0 Doing so will
cause your preference to toggle between letting your votes be public and
letting them be private.=C2=A0 Once all the
voting is over, we=E2=80=99ll be able to click on a game and see the userna=
mes of the
people who voted for it, but only among those who don=E2=80=99t mind lettin=
g their
votes be public.=C2=A0 That will let folks
check out how their fellow spielfrieks voted, while still honoring the priv=
acy
of those who would rather their votes remain secret.</span></p>
