#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 96

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:

I think I mentioned this during the last round, but as solid as Lemmings is, I can't bring myself to vote for the console versions. I found the controls too difficult to get used to. PC versions get max votes. Lemmings is so solid.

Ogre Battle gets 100% of my votes in this group.

I was gonna hit submit, but I might as well add this:

• TONe's Discord server is a laid-back place to chill & chat

I never could figure out how to play Ogre Battle but I didn’t try for too too long. I gave a couple votes to Flashback for being good and interesting.
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.

NSMB is one of my most-played DS games. Really loved it.
