I don't think he is talking about the winners. He might be talking about how many votes each nominated AAR got, like here in the Archive.
 
00:00 03 July GMT is three hours from now, I believe. ;)

Now I will say a few words.

First of all, the total number of voters absolutely shattered the previous record of 38! Good work, all of you!

We've had a lot of close calls this quarter. In fact, three categories in the HOI sections were won by one vote, and a fourth by only two! Also, there were many landslides, especially in the Comedy section, as all four Comedy category winners won by healthy margins!

Secrets of the AARk and Rise of Zombie Napoleon hold the record for most votes in one category this quarter, with both at 19. Needless to say, they quite dominated their respective categories.

The Cobras are Smoking! won 21 votes total from all categories this quarter, failing to win a single award, so an honorable mention must be mentioned.

The Eagles of Avalon won the most awards this quarter, with a stunning total of three. I suppose it was a trend, as all four game categories had their overall winner win a subcategory as well.

The Narrative subcategory for EU1/2 was almost a three-way tie, it already being a tie and In memory of France being only one vote behind. There were other very closely contested categories, such as Narrative HOI1/2, which had 4 (3)s, 1 (4), with the winner being (5)!

And I was quite disappointed in the Gameplay subcategory for CK, as it only had seven votes total. This makes it by far the least voted upon category, though looking back the same thing seems to have happened in the past two quarters. Why is this so? Is there something peculiar about gameplay CK AARs?

Heh. Hardly any other choice in my category. :cool:

There are not that many serious gamplay AARs for CK. The game itself leans more towards the narrative style of writing.
