Hi, everyone. Rodney suggested it might be a good idea to set something up
to maintain the Meeples Choice Awards. So I've just set up an Email Group
at groups.io. You can find the website at the following address:
https://groups.io/g/meepleschoice.
I'm doing this in kind of a hurry since the spielfrieks address will be
going away tomorrow. I haven't had time to figure out too much about
groups.io, but at the very least, people interested in participating in the
Meeples Choice Awards should be able to subscribe to it. Any assistance
from folks who are old hands at this will be greatly appreciated.
Hopefully, this process will prove to be reasonably simple and we'll be
able to maintain the list of voters for the award. Note that this is just
a group of emails which will allow me to announce when things are getting
started, deal with nominations, give results, and allow discussions and
questions. The actual voting will continue to be done on the voting app
that Wei-Hwa designed for us a few years ago.
If there are any questions, fire away while you can. I'll answer them to
the best of my ability (which in this case, probably won't be too much).
Larry
