yes - sounds quite unfair.

It doesn't have anything to do with the quality of the mod. They might be very good, or very bad. But quantity here wins. It's that simple. If not one, then the other .. or perhaps the other.

Especially if what you say, they are excellent job done well, .. you even increase guaranteed winning on one of them.

It's nothing personal against the mod author, I just think it should be a mod from one author, from 5 nominated ones. So everybody has a fair run at it.

So yes, I play unfair too, and vote for the underdog, without even looking at the mod.

Couple of points:

1) If this was true, the coders with the most mods would also have most MOTM's. Thats not even close to being the case.

2) The staff don't decide who is up for MOTM - members do by voting. This means only the best/most popular mods get nominated. Coders should be PRAISED for releasing so many good/popular mods a month, not punished!

3) Having 3 mods nominated probably reduces the chance of winning if people were voting for the coder, not the product, since the votes would be divided by 3, instead of them all going to the same mod.

4) You don't win MOTM for having most votes total, only ONE mod wins.

In short: One person having more than one mod nominated by the users just shows that person probably DESERVES to win, since they are producing consistently good stuff. There are modders who release TONS of mods every month, but get very few nominations, and even fewer wins =)

I say well done to Valter for producing so many good mods this month, and thanks to the other coders for also making great mods!
