[quote]Hello, my friends! Guess what -- it's time again to vote for the best IF games of the past year in the annual XYZZY Awards! All games first released in 2006 are eligible.

Voting is divided into two rounds. The first round will select the nominees, the top five vote-getters in each category. There will then be a second round of voting to select from the nominees the winners, one in each category.


The deadline for first-round voting is Sunday, February 11, 2007, at midnight Eastern Standard Time. The deadline for second-round voting is Thursday, March 1st. The online awards ceremony itself is scheduled to be held on the ifMUD on Sunday, March 4th.


My grateful thanks go to David Welbourn for compiling the dizzyingly comprehensive games list, and to Dan Shiovitz and Lucian Smith for all their upcoming event organizing activities...!
