LEst anyone thinks the extra votes dont count, I'm tallying the scores and then multiplying by the number of votes for every game.

I'd be curious to see how much difference the runners-up make in the final rankings. I don't know what you're using (probably Excel or something like that), but if it's easy, I'd like to see both breakdowns.
Tristram, when you say Fate 3e, do you mean Fate Core? Those are two different editions, and I think Fate Core is the one showing up in people's lists.
Then I would just say Fate rather than Fate 3e, which sounds like you're limiting it to an older edition (Spirit of the Century, the original Dresden Files game, etc.).Right now the list is only distinguishing between Fate 2nd and modern iterations of the system. If its a complete change in the system, then we can divide the votes in the next round of voting, but with most games, splitting it up will take them off the list entirely
And for the record, Fate 3 and Fate Core are pretty different.
Can there be something between those two. (EDIT: I'd say at least as different as AD&D and B/X D&D.)Different in the way AD&D 1st and 2nd edition are different, though, or in the way AD&D and D&D 4th edition are?

Like the difference between 3rd and 5th, I would say.
Well, I have no experience with Fate core, but I'd say D&D 3rd and 5th are completely different systems. So Fate core is essentially a different game?
I snuck in an edit in my earlier post: I'd say Fate 3.0 vs. Fate Core is at least as different as AD&D and B/X D&D, and maybe even a bit more. They're fairly translatable, but a lot of the system works differently.Well, I have no experience with Fate core, but I'd say D&D 3rd and 5th are completely different systems.

Out of curiosity, with so many fantasy games on your list of favorites, how do you decide which one to play?
I wouldn't mind trying The One Ring sometime as a player. I don't feel like I'd want the responsibility of being a ref for that. Same with Empire of the Petal Throne.
You can easily translate anything from one version of Fate to the other, because they use essentially the same numbers and the same traits, but a lot of the systems based on those traits are different.

I would consider rule sets of different editions all one vote for D&D, Fate, et al.
It would depend on how you're treating other games with a similar problem.
I'd say if you're counting all Shadowrun votes as Shadowrun, keep them together. If you're counting 3rd, 4th, and 5th as separate games, count them separately.
I'd treat edition 1 and 2 of Shadowrun as the same game. Luckily , no one's voted for 3rd or 4th
Some games, those differences really matter, though. TSR D&D, AD&D, and each edition of WotC D&D are all practically different games...
I realize others strongly disagree with that view but that it is such a point of dispute shows that there is no consensus and debating it too much would probably derail the poll.

Dude. I voted for 4th. It was my #9.
Agree with all of your policies except Palladium. I really don't care for the Palladium system except for the marvelous way they applied it to TMNT.
My AD&D vote was very specific, but frankly, the loss of the Player's Option rules would not knock it down more than a couple of places.
Did you have something to say about my post, or are you just in love with the sound of my voice as I am?
So I mean, you know that you consider it a better game with the players option books included. But is it important enough for the list to distinguish that, knowing that it will be reduced to a single vote?
I thought I'd made it clear I was agreeing with your decision and your rationale. I'm sorry I didn't manage to convey that definitively enough.
I've stated my position and you've stated yours. I'm perfectly content to leave it at that, and just respectfully allow you to continue being wrong (and smelling like canned soup) for the rest of your wretched life on Earth.
