- Another change in the compilation of the Top 100 has been introduced.
- Some readers have mailed me asking why several games in the chart refuse
- to drop and make room for newer games. They refer to games like Falcon,
- X-Wing, and of course Civilization. It appears that these games have a
- number of fans that keep voting for it, which is the reason the games
- don't leave their positions. Unfortunately this caused the Top 100 to
- have the same top 3 for 23 weeks (!) in a row.
-
- The readers will understand that such an overly stable list may cause a
- loss of interest from voters. I know that some people have the feeling
- that nothing interesting is happening in the chart, and therefore they
- stop reading it.
-
- It is clear that something should be done about this. For this reason,
- I have introduced a limit for the number of weeks a person may vote for
- the same game. After some experimenting I found that 26 weeks is a very
- reasonable amount of time. If someone is voting for more than 26 weeks
- for the same game, his votes for this particular game will still be
- registered, but they are not used in the compilation for the Top 100.
- It's like saying to this person "Yes, we know now that you like this
- game, but please give another game a change now. Vote something else.
- Remember this is not an all-time favourites list." Only I don't have the
- possibility yet to send such personalized mail. :)
-
- The result of this new rule is already showing in the Top 100: Falcon 3
- and X-Wing are finally making room for new games like Master of Orion
- and Epic Pinball.
