Yeah, so I am counting votes and I am convinced that the voting is flawed. First thing: I don't vote, at all. This is a professional thing, but I might have to this year. We have several columns with multiple winners and one column with eight. Eight. Eight AARs with one vote each and at least one that had already been voted for in another column.
Which brings me to point two: aldriq is winning the award for most schizophrenic fans as xyr AAR was a contender in three columns... No fault to aldriq of course, but come on! The votes are public!
I want to institute these reforms:
I think we really need to discuss #3 as it will be the hardest to enforce, the others are just up to me. #4 can be done a few ways... either as I have or it will win the one where it controls the greatest percentage of the total vote. I think that we should try to spread winners out, and it is not common, but I do believe it happens often enough or at least gets close to happening.

I want to institute these reforms:
- Victoria is being merged with Victoria II, it got a total of 8 votes and only one definite winner.
- You cannot win with one vote, you need at least two. Many columns are dominated by as many aars as votes.
- We need to find a way to regulate voting so that AARs can win the proper category, and I believe this will take the action of writers to tell their readers who to vote for.
- If an AAR wins more than one category, it only wins the one it got the most votes in.
