XYZZY Awards 2007: The Votes Are Being Counted...

Yes, it's that time again: time to vote for the best IF games of the year in the annual XYZZY Awards. All games first released in 2007 are eligible.

Voting will be split into two rounds. The first round will select the nominees, the top five vote-getters in each category. There will then be a second round of voting to select from the nominees the winners, one in each category.

The rules are as follows:

Eligibility: All IF games publicly released during the year 2007 are eligible for the 2007 XYZZYs. A complete listing of all the eligible games (in alphabetical order) is given at the bottom of this page.

Voting: Anyone is eligible to vote. You may not vote twice. Authors may not vote for their own games. While it is suggested that you play as many of the eligible games as possible before casting your ballot, we're not going to get ridiculous here.

Categories: There are ten XYZZY categories this year: Best Game, Best Writing, Best Story, Best Setting, Best Puzzles, Best NPCs, Best Individual Puzzle, Best Individual NPC, Best Individual PC and Best Use of Medium. In the "individual" categories, vote for a particular NPC, PC, or puzzle; in the rest, vote for the game as a whole. Vote once in each category, then stop.

Deadline: The deadline for first-round voting was Sunday, February 24, 2008, at midnight Eastern Standard Time. Deadline for second-round voting is Thursday, March 6th. The online award ceremony will be held on ifMUD on Sunday, March 9th.
