That's an impressive number of nominations for Zombie Exodus.

Hm.

When I learned that ToaSK got an XYZZY nom for 2007, I waited until after the voting deadline passed (by about 50 minutes) before I mentioned it on the Encounter Critical Mailing List.

Different strokes, I guess.

It feels like the phone voting in realities. But maybe I'm too taliban. I usually hate popular votes, and now I remember the reason.

Dunno.

Is it bad form to blog about the XYZZY awards like that? I understood XYZZY to be a contest where campaigning for votes was totally acceptable.

I have no doubt it's 100% ethical and unimpeachably correct. Like so many things.

I don't have a problem with your post, but I do think it's a shame that it was so effective.

The XYZZY FAQ says that the top four finishers in each category go on to the finals, but some categories only list three. What happened there?

Further, the post on Choice of Games was hardly canvassing at all, nowhere did it say "Go Vote For Zombie Exodus".

RE: a panel of reviewers: is that still a thing? I have no conflict of interest in writing on any of the categories though I have little knowledge of technical developments.
