Dividing poll list like 2010 agoty part1,2 or more to cover at least 24 votable choices.
I hope I’m not the only one who thinks that would make the poll more, rather than less confusing.
Seeing two or three poll threads with similar, if not identical titles with no way to automatically consolidate the vote totals between the various threads does not appeal to me at all.
But then I’m the guy that thought random selection of game positions was a good idea. 
For whom the games toll,
they toll for thee.

doesn`t sound particularly clear to me either.. I think it would only bring new problems and unnecessary confusion to the polls.

So Pt. I and Pt. II. And then what? The 6 winners from each part get to compete in a “Final” part?
Godawful idea. And a lot more random than these singular polls could ever get…
The truth can’t hurt you, it’s just like the dark: it scares you witless but in time you see things clear and stark. - Elvis Costello
Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka
But lets not be too harsh to Gabe, because I partly understand his concerns too Lets take another example. In 2009 poll Yoomurjak got 8 votes out of 47 (Almost 20% of the votes). I`m pretty sure that Yoomurjak got zero votes in “Readers game of the year” thread (someone can check it, I`m too tired to do it myself right now). So why it got so many votes now? Because it is highlighted now in the new polls or because all Yoomurjak fans were sleeping when we wrote readers game of the year lists or because fans didn`t remember the correct year when it was released or what?
But as I have said before, Karlok has done good job here and it`s pretty futile to analyze the poll results too much. They are what they are and I`m sure those 8 voters really enjoyed to play Yoomurjak. There is no logical reason to change things: The lists are definitely not random, game choices have been valid and justified, “your unlisted favorite” game lists are pretty comprehensive and you can always propose or present new games by yourself to the polls. So I don`t really see any problems.

Gray Matter. I played it recently, I loved it.

Heavyrain still is a gem but i voted Gray matter, because its underrated.
Ahenobarbus: My theory would be that not many people played Yoomurjak the year it was released. It had a fairly low profile at the time - I loved the AGON games but only found out last year that it was even related. People who’ve played it since then seem to have liked it a lot, though!
