Because we're using Google Forms and email validation to do this voting to help prevent as much fraud as possible.
You're just saying that because of all the fraud you had to fix last year. ;p At least you learned a few new tricks. Good job, Bildo. I knew you'd never stay Lost in Hyboria.
I'm going to be honest, 2018 was a shitty year in terms of gaming. For me at least.
Best year in a while, for me. Since 2015, I'd say.

Really need a not applicable button for categories we did not participate in.
Could just not vote on that category. I didn't for (sigh) Battle Royale.
That's what I did, if I didn't play a category I just left it blank.
The "completionist" in me never even considered the possibility of leaving a radio button unchecked and would have howled in rage had I attempted to do so.
I used the other button / comment to write N/A or some such commentary.

When I read through the questions the only thing I really wanted to know was, what games spent the most on advertising on this site in 2018, as I suspect they will win most awards.

lol, yeah I'm 'the other guy' who leaves things undone or doesn't do things they don't want to do. That's why modern mmorpg's are a problem because I'm usually leaving out some quest or task that allows me to get a camel in order to navigate the desert.
I like to make up my own rules.

You can make email accounts with google with false names birthdays and so on. Why the reluctance. I have like 15 google, yahoo and hotmail accounts. All my details on facebook is false too. I made that Facebook account years ago before the phone number thing.
Why do people think you need to be honest about anything.

Couldn't be bothered. I made them for different game accounts and I have a few I use as spam stuff where all the sites that send rubbish goes. Seriously no reason not to make an email account.

The email account thing I get, but your last sentence is kind of boggling. I have to assume you aren't serious.

I was making a point about social media and emails , should have been more specific. I really don't understand why people share all their personal info without a thought to masking it on these sites.

OK, in that context your comment makes perfect sense, I knew I had misunderstood somewhere.

It's the two finger typing the brain is a few steps ahead and the fingers are left dropping the context.
Yeah guys there is alot of rampant fraud when it comes to video game awards and the electoral process involved , Serious business here.
More like the winners are announced and then some people start wailing and gnashing their teeth and calling foul because the idea of any game that doesn't align with their world view "winning" is too much to bear so they come and start flinging mud and calling the staff shills and all sorts of things dorks do.
In any case, "voted."
That's the fun though. It generates drama so we can point and laugh at their opinions.
Funnily enough, at this point in time, I don't play any of the games listed in the "best mmorpg" list (I'm a bit of an mmorpg nomad these days).
So it came down to which one would you recommend your best friend to start playing, if asked.
I was torn between FF and ESO, but ultimately FF won due to the better story telling. The new expansions in ESO broke any semblance of story progression completely.
Runner up was GW2, and that because I still haven't found a class that I enjoy playing in that game. Which is a real shame, since it has (imo) one of the most vibrant and enjoyable worlds.
Seems rather ridiculous I have to make another google account just to vote. I think I will just pass, you should not tie something like this to a certain mail system!!! I must have at least 4 or 5 google accounts that I don't ever remember the names or the passwords. Such a waste.

Why have a poll like this at all if it will not be accurate? Go away.

'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'
Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...
'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'

I dont see any reason for that.
LotRO was my game of choice and looks like I'm gonna be there for the foreseeable.

Good to see 'Persistent Online Game' now gets its own category after having Warframe up for best MMORPG of 2017.
I've made notes for future nefarious purpose.
