2. Rules.

   * Each person can vote only once.
   * The contestants are allowed to vote; contestants are allowed to
     vote for themselves.
   * A valid votesheet should have all games rated. The exception is if a
     game does not work on your system. If this is the case, say so in the
     [comment] section. (Make sure to include your setup)
   * Rate each game from 1 to 10 points, where 10 points is the highest
     (best game) and 1 point is the lowest (game needs improvement)
   * The game with the most points after all the votes are tallied will win.
     The game with the second most points will be awarded second place, and
     so forth.
   * The [comments] section has no impact on the final outcome of the
     contest. They are 100% optional and are only there to encourage feedback
     with the author.  Your comments will not be made public. They will be
     collected and sent back to the author at the end of the contest.

Example vote sheet:
     
   Jeff Minter............"Return of the MagiC Camels" [10] [Awesome game!]
   Squaresoft............."Final Fantasy VIII GEM".....[8]  [no comment]

   Thalion................"GEMberstar".................[5]  [Wish it were
in English!]
   Psygnosis.............."GEMmings"...................[9]  [Needs better music]
     
     This votesheet put Jeff Minter to first place, Psygnosis to
     second place and Squaresoft to third. Thalion came in last, where as
     The Bitmap brothers game could not be rated due to system
     incompatibilities.
