After a 3 week nomination period the nominations list is now closed and we have the top 50 nominees that will vie to make the cut for the top 20 in this most in-formal and un-official contest.
Thanks to a lot of
we made the Top 100 GeekLists of 2011. It would be cool if we could make it again this year.
I'm not saying I'm going to give out
for thumbing this list, but Python's random.randint(1,85) returned 76, so I sent 
to Osiris Ra.
What the heck... once more... random.randint(1,175) = 140 = -> TravmacDaddy
I don't want to promote the list with, but I do want to say thanks to everyone that has enjoyed the list and submitted nominations, comments, feedback, etc.
We also have a number of nominees competing within the various categories. The top 20 nominees in each category made it into the poll. When there was a tie for the 20th spot, all tied nominees were added (which is why some polls have a couple of extra games).
A final category, "The Best of the Rest", was created to allow each nomination a shot at a category.
Voting runs until Sunday, January 15th
