- The number of voters for the Top 100 has been dropping again after the
- deadline of the Internet Games Contest has passed. As I already told you
- this was to be expected, as many new voters were only in it for the free
- games contest. However, I do expect that the number will not fall back
- to the 300 voters it was just before I started the contest. Of course,
- the Xmas holidays also have their effect on the voters, so we'll just
- have to wait and see.
-
- Some people have mailed me this week asking why they didn't get a list.
- Again it appears that the mailer on my system isn't quite reliable.
- I don't know what's wrong, but I hope to be able to work around it.
-
- I also must say sorry to all voters who got a copy of an incorrect vote
- message this week. This happens when people send their vote message to
- top100@xs4all.nl in stead of jojo@xs4all.nl as they are supposed to do.
- The top100@xs4all.nl address is for personal use only. It's my mailing
- list! Normally I redirect anything that is sent to it, but this time I
- accidentally left the window open. (And THAT was because I was trying
- to solve that other mailer problem. Sigh.)
-
- Anyway, even though it's still 1994 at the time I write this, the chart
- you have here now is the first for 1995. And boy, does it have a lot of
- action in it. No less than 8 bullets for hot new games this week! The
- last time we had so many fast climbing games was almost a year ago.
- Well, enjoy playing them in 1995, and remember...
-
- keep voting.
