Forking off a new thread not to discourage voting:
<p>
I'll agree you can't weigh your votes in this system, and this takes the fun out of trying to get your favorite game in there if you want it to be the highest weighted game of your votes. But, this loophole allows gang voters to take the fun out of the real consesus of which are the games the consensus are voting for.
<p>
Removing the wieghts and combination of votes allows all peoples favorites to have an equal chance, isn't that what we want here?

Boy are we doing good here, a new record, seven minutes from my post
to yours...
<p>
What has it come to, attack anyone's position that is different from
you? Granted, something may need to be done to discourage gang
voting, but removing the use of voting all together is not the way,
and that is what the proposed idea would do. Random voting, even
though I didn't "gang vote", as it is called, or even voted for a
game at all, is why I am still out of T2, if for nothing more than a
statement than anything else. There may be problems with the previous
system, but this isn't the way.

To answer your post Chris - we will not get rid of the voting
altogether - everyone is going to pick three games that we'd want in
the tournament, then randomize, so in a way you still have a voting
aspect in the tournament - we will NOT randomize the entire set.
<p>
Still... I will acknowledge your vote - it's 3 - 1, 2 - 1 for
changing voting and the amendment respectivly.
