I was also thinking about it since even I was only able to read around 25+ VNs so I can only mention a few. Since we are talking about what we want other people to read, I don't think this one being a popularity contest is that bad. People may argue with me but I think that quality itself is subjective. As long as people enjoyed what they read, I think they have the right to suggest it.
I also want to add some awards by genre but even I was not able to name a genre that can contain a lot of VNs. This is why I am looking for suggestions. If you have thought of any where at least 5 or more VNs fit in, feel free to suggest.
That suggestion would work if we are only looking for the best. However, the second and the third place might not deserve their spot as some of the VNs might get knocked down earlier. We can however modify it as a round robin and decide base on the match up scores. Thanks for the idea btw.
I think this event, or whatever you want to call it can also attract new members who wanted to vote for their favorite VNs. The number of guests I see everyday in the forum can somehow make this one a success, if they join.
If you have thought of something feel free to suggest.
We already gave a review in the download pages, though every one can edit it.
If you can give me several VNs that you think will be able to fit in, then I'll be adding it.
I would also like to explain why I chose the 5 point system tentatively. The advantage of the 5 point system is that the number of points to give depends on someone. Also, since one it not required to use all the 5 points, someone who played a single VN can also participate voting but may still be objective in his vote. For example, if he thinks that the VN he only read is a masterpiece then he can give it a perfect 5 or 4. If he thinks the VN is just average, he can just give it a 3 or 2 and If he thinks the VN is just fine he can give it a 1 or not vote for it at all. This kind of voting IMO makes the poll flexible enough to be able to cover up what we lackf or now.
