Vote anyway. If people only voted after they saw every edit, there would be zero votes.

Most new users don't bother reading our rules. Here's the one that is ignored almost immediately upon signup: DO NOT ASK FOR FANEDIT LINKS PUBLICLY. First, read the FAQ. Seriously. What you want is there. You can also send a message to the editor. If that doesn't work THEN post in the Trade & Request forum. Anywhere else and it will be deleted and an infraction will be issued.

Please read our Rules & Guidelines
Vote now in wave 1 of the FEOTM Reboot!

I'm not saying I should see every edit in order to be able to vote, but considering that there's 50 edits to choose from and I've only seen 4, it doesn't seem fair. I think one should only be able to vote if they've seen more edits than the maximum vote count allowed per user. That way there's some thought that has to go into your choices.

Well, do as you please, but you're making up your own rules. If someone only saw one edit and liked it, they should feel no hesitation in voting for it.

Also, as a reminder, you are not picking the winner. You are nominating edits to be eligible to win.

I know, but every vote counts, and you never know which vote could be the deciding vote.

If you've seen only four edits, but felt that any of, or all four were worthy of being considered for FEOTY based on technical editing quality, narrative alteration and overall enjoyment, then your votes are valid and worth while. Just as voting for it can be the critical factor, so can NOT voting.
If the edit sucked or didn't do anything for you then by all means, do not vote, but if any of those four blew you away or made you say to yourself "Self, that was an awesome edit, I truly enjoyed it and glad so-and-so made it" then a vote is entirely fair. This is not a scientific poll, it is one where the community indicates the edits which they feel were worth of consideration.
And also, that slim margin you noted is the reason the Academy gets two wild-card selections. If after the final 10 are decided by vote there are a 2 edits which they feel were truly deserving but for whatever reason didn't get the needed votes, they can still include them in that first round.
Ultimately, as a sage Jedi once advised, "you must do what you feel is right, of course." But please consider that such circumstances were considered when the nomination process was created.
And everyone, PLEASE VOTE!!

^^ Color me pleased for The Ugly West.
An edit project that was a real pleasure to realise back in the day with Boon23.
We thought that editing 2 of the most well known westerns into interesting new versions would interest a lot of people
and the result (although being a success for us) did not completely "meet its audience", at least at the level we thought it could.
So it's nice to see some love for it. It looks like the ones who watched it are pleased with it.

I'm not sure if I should be making this announcement or an Admin but... The Academy has spoken. The two Wildcard selections by the Academy are Braveheart The Elerslie Edition, by CBB and Legion, by Spicediver!
Congrats!
The 23 edits that will move forward to the next round of voting are as follows:
EDIT: I think I speak for all Academy members when I say that wildcard selection was difficult. There were many excellent edits last year that were most certainly deserving of watching and having on this list of 23. But in the end there can be only 1.
