Wrong....

You can only vote 4 times for any one game.  Each time you vote,
you can only give a maximum of 5 points per game.  You have 20
points to spread around however you like.  At 5 points per game,
you can vote for 4 different games.  At 1 vote per game you can
vote for 20 different games.  You can mix and match giving more
points to better games, and less to not as good games.  Each time
you vote, the points are used for 4 top 100 issues (which come out
once a week).  So if I vote for DOOM, 5 points, DOOM will get 5
points from me for 4 weeks.  Since I can only vote for DOOM 4 times,
assuming that I vote exactly every 4 weeks, no sooner or later, the
maximum points I can give is 20, for a maximum 16 weeks.

If i could vote for DOOM again, I would...
