I had way too much information in my head to make the decisions. Which is in part why I took me so long to make my choices.
In that case you can just give everything a 2. That's the default "I'm just happy to play" vote. If you had done that both Monarch and Trek would have tied at a 15 and tiebreaker would have gone to Trek because it had the least number of low votes. (it would have had one vote of 2 as opposed to Monarch's two votes of 2).
I don't want the players to be approaching the prospectus with the dread of somehow spiking someone else's preferred choice. Oddly enough, Kriz1818 said that she now had guilt because her vote of 2 kept Monarch from winning when two other people had given it a 4. This isn't the attitude I want in the voting - I want to know what you want to play, not having you second guess what you think would make other people happy. If you honestly don't care, just give them all a two and bring those decadent pastry thingies to the next session.
I've never had to choose between multiple games I've played and liked. I don't think I'm looking forward to that day.
That's one reason why I keep trying to pitch limited run games; they just keep not being voted in (or when they do, like Psi-Men, there are logistical difficulties and they don't work out). I'd like to be able to bring at least some of these games to a conclusion, but there are at least 24 more Star Trek 'Episodes' for example, and a whole bunch more in the D&D game and Feng Shui. My instinct is for the long term. Oops. Maybe if we dedicated the next 2 years to Trek we can get that concluded...
I don’t like it when I don’t have at least 5 choices
Duly noted. I'll try to include at least 5 next time.
