Congrats to all those involved. It was a rocky start but turned into something significant and well executed and I think will be a great tradition.

Quoted from tamoore:

I don't understand totally the absence of Alien, other than it wasn't considered "this years" game?

I didn't watch the whole thing, but you're saying Alien was never read as a "final 3"? It was in the list of "Released in 2017" candidate games, so then if it's name did not get said at all during the broadcast it never made the top 3 votes in any category.

I think the vote was as fair as can be, and likely had some good numbers and participation. So, the market is speaking at this point. I'm sure not everyone will agree, but a vote is a vote.

As a Batman66 owner I can see the tide changing for the title, but at the same time I acknowledge that the game Stern shipped this past year, and the version most people played over the past year, isn't going to win a best code award.

I think it having a "good showing" by being in the top 3 for a lot of categories is fair though, and I expect more people will be impressed with the final version as it gets completed.

"Shawshank Redemption" was nominated for Best Picture the year it came out, and no one had heard of it or saw it. It didn't win. Only as the years passed that people discovered it and its one of the best loved movies of all time.

Quoted from mrossman5:

I'm surprised that TNT didn't even get into the top 3 for best pinball youtube channel. I agree with the winner but I just feel like with all the hard work Todd and his crew puts into his videos, he should have been up there.

This happens with every type of awards. Forget about the winners, sometimes there are straight up snubs in the candidates. Daft Punk not being nominated for an Academy Award for Tron Legacy soundtrack comes to mind, and is relevant to pinball. Every year there are new ones.

In this case, the top 3 were for the 3 with the most votes, so not even a direct snub by an organizer. I agree Todd is great, but sometimes the old guard gets looked over.

I guess my point is, these things will happen. All the organizers can do is make sure nominations are fair to start with.

It won't be hard to keep the integrity of the vote, and no matter what you're going to have people complaining about everything. In the end, these votes can only have 1 winner, and by the nature of the vote the winner will have won with more people having voted for something else. So there will always be some complaining, and accusations of vote rigging or stuffing.

Just a reminder that this is for fun, everyone.

Possibly Pinside itself could be used as a gatekeeper of sorts to a future vote. I'm not talking about opening polls, I like the secret votes and how it was handled this year, just talking about using some technology from Pinside, as an alternative to gmail.

Voting is open to Pinside members, and within that, non-validated Pinsiders might have their votes more carefully reviewed (ie: if a particular category has an abnormal amount of high votes for a particular selection, all from non-validated Pinsiders (ie: new users who signed up just to vote), then those votes could be reviewed/discarded.

This would take a bit of work from Team Pinside, but I suspect they'd be happy to be a part of this.

Quoted from Wolfmarsh:

it would limit the voting base a little.

There would be some blowback from pinside haters, but it's showing yesterday "4,313 of 45,612 Pinsiders logging on", which is multiple times the reported participation of the current vote.

I'm going to suggest there will be no "perfect" solution, but perhaps some are better than others.

Quoted from toddtuckey:

After being COMPLETELY ignored, I am making all the videos "Private" and ceasing all video production. Todd

Todd, i see you with 20,000 subscribers on youtube. Isn't that your metric? Not sure why those numbers don't translate to votes for this thing but in the end that is the audience you create for, not this.
