Not that I would condone such behaviour, obviously.
Then we need to make a list of how that would be possible. (i.e, which games to vote through)
I also noted that the voting for the games is random and done from the front page.
Votes seem to be tagged by IP in a database, there's no cookies set. So this is an excercise for Proxy voting only.
As for the numbers... well, we absolutly smashed the readers poll this year in PC Gamer, IIRC, to the point where they never printed it (*poke* to PC Gamer - print it for the fun of it!). If we can *ahem*influence*ahem* that much for such a large mag, I'm sure a site vote won't be too hard.
Time to poke about with cURL I suppose...

ok
I voted for Nintendogs, since it had worse rating

Oh come on!
Where's the pride in winning if one cheats? Say Darwinia wins, can the community really celebrate? If Darwinia doesn't win, so be it! Let the contest take an honest course.
Sure, Introversion may get some benefit from having a "Game Of The Year"-Award by a certain Website, but it won't make a worlds difference, so let it be as it is supposed to be.
BiB -> voting for honesty

It's not cheating. A large release from EA might have a lot of people who like the game, but none of them are die hard fans. Introversion, on the other hand has a small but dedicated and fierce cult following. I don't see the problem in encouraging people to vote, and do so tactically.
It'd only really be cheating if you found an exploit in the server or something and set the votes to some ridiculously high number. At the moment, we're taking the effort to vote on as many computers as possible, something I suspect none diehard fans wouldn't have the motivation to do
