#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 6

Post by This Old Neon »

Welcome to the second round of #BGE2020 pools!

Each game is randomly seeded into pools using the sequence 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... realistically in early 2021.

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:

Scorched Earth is my favourite artillery-strategy game, inspiring the Worms series to take up its mantle. I remember installing it on the brand new lab computers in our classroom and playing it with friends during breaks between class.

Final Soldier for being TG16 awesomeness and Detroit for being a narrative walking and talking simulator....about ROBOTS
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.

A buddy gifted me Planescape: Torment on Steam recently because it's one of his very favorite game. I plan to play it this year! May not get to it in time for it to get my BGE votes, though.

On that note, abstaining on this one.
You got BOOST power!

Try to get to it in time for the elimination round. You have about 6 months. :)
