Be careful of not making generalities of things which have a low probability.
How many people have voted for more than 50 or 60 games? If they are 2 or 3, it should not be difficult to send them an e-mail saying that from now only 50 or 60 votes are possible, so they should re-do their votes if they still want to favor some of the games. Their previous list is simple nulled. They should not complain as they old list was actually meaningless and their new one will make some sense.
Who can seriously convince many friends to come on CVP, register and then favor one precise game (the same for all of them) and then go? I don't believe that. Maybe it will happen for very few just asking 1 friend to do this. But I doubt. And if it happens, who are we to judge? After all, if that friend really likes his frieds's variant, what's the problem? Who are we to say that this is not sincere? This is making a lot of trouble for a very small issue which is probably not occuring.
About self-vote, I take the point that there are other ways to indicate the author's preferred games. If there is this facility, then there is no need to have the self-vote coming in the same basket than other votes. So, the simplest is probably to forbid self-votes.
