#BGE2020 - Round 1 - Pool 119

Post by This Old Neon »

Welcome to the first round of #BGE2020 pools!

Each game is randomly seeded into pools using the set generator at Random.org. There's no seeding, no ranking, and no preference or prioritization.

The results of the pools will determine how each game stacks up in the elimination rounds, coming later this year.

HOW TO VOTE

Voting is ranked, but it's not super intuitive, so listen up.
  • You have 6 total votes to distribute.
  • You can only select up to 3 options.
  • You can only give each option up to 3 votes.
  • NOTE: The number you pick is not the RANK of your choice (i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd), but the number of VOTES you're giving it.
  • The more votes (bigger numbers) a game gets, the better for that game.
EXAMPLES
  • You could pick three games and order them by giving them 3, 2, and 1 votes.
  • If you like three games equally, you could give them 2, 2, and 2 votes.
  • If you only like two games, you could give them 3 and 3 votes (or 3 and 2, etc.).
This gives you a lot of granularity for how you assign your votes and thereby a lot of influence over which games can do well. Use your power wisely!

If you have questions, ask before voting! :neon:

Gotta stack votes on Mario Paint here. I swatted so many flies, drew so many Guns N Roses album covers, and sequenced so many crazy video game tunes!

Genghis Khan II on SNES is a solid Koei game.

FTL is a hard space-sim roguelike that kicks me ass every time I play.

Just might and magic for me here. I loved loved loved that game.
I never thought I would feel this way, but now I know. Now I know. I never thought I would see things as I see them now, but now I know. I never thought I would hurt so bad, but now I know. Now I know.

Wow surprised how well sonic racing is doing. I only nominated it a few days ago (unless it was already nominated and I missed it when searching the list)

If the above is true its a shame it wasn't in any of the older competitions

It's a good one! I haven't played the new Sonic racing game but I hear it's not as good.
