#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 131

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:

Romance of the Three Kingdoms X was the last excellent game in the "RPGish" subseries—IMO the best of these weird variants (slightly better than VIII, significantly better than VII). Full votes from me.

I gave Wizardry VII a couple of votes, Nuclear Strike one vote, and Zero Mission a couple as well. I love the Strike games and Wizardry is the bomb. Good challenging dungeon crawler.

Wish I had played ZoE2 by now! Still haven't. Bet I'll like it.

Zero Mission rules.
You got BOOST power!
