About the Ascii Dreams Roguelike of the Year:

Now in its fifth year, the Ascii Dreams Roguelike of the Year is recognised as the premier annual award for the roguelike genre. Previous winners include Dwarf Fortress, Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup, DoomRL: the Roguelike and T.o.M.E. 4.

Roguelikes qualified by being announced on the Rogue Basin news section between December 16th 2010 and December 12th 2011 and from the list of Actively Developing Roguelikes maintained by Michał Bieliński. From this year, roguelikes also qualify which have been discussed on Roguelike Radio and released this year. Votes are then collated over a two week period from mid December and the winner, runner up, honourable mentions and full results are announced when voting closes. Voters may choose to vote for multiple roguelikes.

Voting has begun at http://roguelikedeveloper.blogspot.com for the Ascii Dreams Roguelike of the Year 2010, now in its fourth year.

166 roguelikes were released this year... this is, again, a new record for the number to qualify for this competition, up from 99 the last year.

How did the roguelikes qualify?

The list was taken from the roguelike releases announced on the Rogue Basin news section between December 16th 2009 and December 16th 2010 and from the list of Actively Developing Roguelikes maintained by Jeff Lait.

What about 'x'?

Make sure you announced your roguelike on Rogue Basin for next year.

What about the 7 day roguelikes?

I decided to exclude any 7 day roguelikes that weren't announced separately. However, most of them were on Jeff Lait's list.

What's the prize?

Pride. And a sexy logo - if you want one. You can see the winning 2007 logo on the Dwarf Fortress links page. Other winners are free to request them, but haven't done so. Logo designs for this year are welcome.

Having a competition is a dumb idea/offensive/stupid when you can't police the results.

Yep. Doesn't stop it being fun. You can vote for multiple different roguelikes. The idea here is that you will be encouraged to go out and download a roguelike that other people consider interesting, not that there is any kind of real competition element involved.
