As you may understand, and as far as I know, there is no problem if a group of people agree outside ATRL on voting in an specific game. It is obvious that people that are active in the Games section are not going to be that active in The Lounge; therefore, views in certain categories such as best game, or maybe most original poster, may be biased in their final results. The only possible way I see of avoiding this is by informing them about this game. Also, what if people who have never been active in the Games or maybe the YTT section decide to vote in categories regarding best games, countdowns, etc? Under the same logic that is being applied now, their votes should not be counted as well.
As a thread that consists in just voting such as this one, following the similar logistic of a survivor game, commenting and/or chatting is just part of spicing up such threads, so it shouldn't be a matter of concern when it comes to validating their votes. Also, many of the voters whose votes have not been counted have been here for around 2 to 4 years and they do post very often, so I find disrespectful that their votes aren't, and as I'm understanding, will not be counted.
