#BGE2020 - Round 1 - Pool 155

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:

I think WarioWare DIY came along too late for it to be fully appreciated.

I voted for OutRun. The arcade version was something special. I also voted for Destiny of an Emperor 2, which isn't as good as the original, but it does have some rad art. And I tossed one vote to Super Mario 3D World, which was better than Odyssey despite being on a joke platform. Hopefully it gets ported up to Switch.

I'm a little less hot on Mario 3D World everytime I play it, though It may be because I played it to death when it first came out. Regardless I definitely prefer Mario 64 style 3D Mario.

I love 3D World. I have better memories playing that than I do with Odyssey.
