You are invited to vote for the Pearple’s Choice Awards 2023-4!
You do not need to have nominated in order to vote. Sadly, the poll functions of this board can’t cope with preference voting, so instead please send me a PM. For each category, put the things you want to vote for in descending order, as it might be:
best pear award
game A
game Q
game T
You don’t have to vote in every category, or order every nominee - if you get to a point where you don’t have a preference between what’s left, just stop voting there. No Award means “I don’t want this award to be made at all, rather than see it go to item X” (in which case make sure you don’t list X above “no further preference”).
Probably the easiest option on desktops/laptops is the drag-and-drop voting form.
All the first-place votes are counted first. If there isn’t a clear majority, whatever got least votes is eliminated, and those ballots’ second-choice votes are distributed among the remaining candidates. This continues until there is a clear majority.
Voting ends at 2023-02-15T17:00:00Z.
The list of nominees is below. Items are ordered randomly except for No Award.
