  To make life a bit easier for me and my computer, I made a slight
  modification to the votes format. From now on, when people vote for a
  game that has no ID number, the tag [] or [    ] or [0000] or [9999]
  is needed. Anything will do in fact, as long as it includes [ and ]
  with nonsense in between. The makes it possible for my parser to skip
  all the crap that people include with their votes, like "Hi Jojo",
  "Here are my votes", "This is the best game ever" and "Keep up the good
  work". I do like all these comments, mind you, but the parser stops at
  all these lines, asking what to do with it. With 1100 voters this starts
  to get on my nerves. The next few weeks everyone who forgets the [ ]
  with new games, will be kindly notified. And all of you may now include
  any comments or quotes with your votes, as long as they do not contain
  the [ ] characters.
  
  This week I made a small change to the algorithm that makes the Top 100.
  You all know that the games in the list are not sorted by the points
  received from votes alone. Last week's position has a weight too, so
  that weird jumps in the list, due to the small number of voters, are
  straightened out. Since a few weeks though, the Top 100 has received
  votes from many more people than before. This means that in the upper
  regions the list is becoming stable even if only the vote points are
  used. Therefore I made a slight modification to the algorithms, which
  has the following result. In the top of the list the weight of last
  week's position is made less important than in the lower part of the
  list. You will notice that this has resulted in a list properly ordered
  by vote points only, up till #20. From then on the weight of last week
  starts to have its effect again, to make the rest of the chart stable
  too. This decrease of the weight of last week is linked to the total 
  number of voters, so that things automatically turn to the previous
  situation when the number of voters drops.
  
  Another thing I am proud to announce, is that the Net PC Games Top 100
  will be joined by two sister lists on the Internet, starting next year.
  A new Top 100 for console games of all formats is being introduced, and
  there will also be a Top 100 of the most popular science fiction books 
  ever. The two authors of these lists, Bradley Lascelle and Tristom 
  Cooke, came to me with their ideas and I must say that I am very 
  pleased with these initiatives to introduce more charts on the Internet.
  
  Here is Tristom's announcement:
  
  === Internet Sci Fi Books Top 100 === by Tristom Cooke ===
  If you are a science fiction reader, in search of the `perfect' book, 
  then the Top 100 Science Fiction Book List may be just what you are 
  looking for. The list will be updated weekly with the first version 
  being issued on January 2 next year. To vote for a book, send a 
  message to tco...@spam.maths.adelaide.edu.au with your vote. Each vote 
  should have the format: points, title, author  where points is the 
  rating you give the book from 1 to 10. More information is available 
  in the Internet Sci Fi Books Top 100 document, posted to 
  rec.arts.books, rec.arts.sf.misc, rec.arts.sf-lovers and 
  rec.arts.sf.written.
  === end ===
  
  Bradley's announcement about the console Top 100 will follow later.
