At 75 roguelikes released last year, this qualified as the longest poll ever, but suggests that 2008 was a bumper year for roguelikes and the roguelike community. That there were 371 people who took the time to recognise their favourite roguelike suggests we have a vibrant community who span across games to celebrate the fundamentals of the genre - replayability over repetitiveness, ideograph over art, the fun of failure and the fruits of victory.
A big thanks to everyone who voted, and look forward to having you back at the end of 2009.

Thanks for holding these polls, and all the other stuff you write about. Reading about rlikes and the magic system of Unangband improved 2008 for me (this and a lot of other things, but I had the idea someone should thank you for all the hard work you put into this blog).
Holy cow! Someone voted for crashRun? *I* didn't even vote for crashRun :P
Thanks whoever that was -- I actually am poking away at a new release.
I think that might have been me... At which point I say the same, holy cow I got 5 votes? I know one of them was me, but that still leaves other people.
