Where's the usual accompanying byzantine anti-fraud device to protect the voting process? ;-)

It speaks volumes about 2012 that second place went to a modernization
of a half-decade old title, and one of the bronze medalists was a
scenario pack for an existing game.

Still, congratulations to Fredrik Wallin and NWS. Well done!

The voting has always been "in the open" so never needed anti-fraud
measures because everyone can make the same tally I did this morning
and come to the same conclusion.

What existed in previous years was a fraud-proof way to raffle a free
game among the participants.

Yup - a clear winner and with the biggest (percentage) win margin
since we started doing this back in 2004 - it got points from every
voter but 5.

At least voter participation for this award is in the double-digits, unlike some other awards out there.
