I don't really understand the question, perhaps because I don't consider
Jeremy's objection a valid one. His concerns seem to presuppose an
incoherence in someone's preferences. On the one hand, someone has one
set of preferences that he expresses in his votes, and on the other hand,
he has a different set of preferences that leads him to be disappointed
with the results. You can't have it both ways. If someone accurately
votes his preferences, the only cause for disappointment in the results
should be that other people had different preferences.

But let's move on to your specific example. The most accurate way to rank
the games in question, i.e. those designated as very similar to other
games, in relation to the rest of the games is to rank each one as though
the other games it is very similar to were not in the poll at all. So when
you rank Mir32, for example, imagine that Mir36 is not in the poll, and
rank Mir32 accordingly.
