#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 201

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 just love Might & Magic VII. I became such a group of murdering beasts in that game. Was just flying around and killing. Was great fun.
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.

Oh damn, I clicked submit before I gave my final one-off vote to Silhouette Mirage. Sneaky little Treasure game. Oh well. See you in the finals, little guy.

Main votes go to the excellent Lufia II—not even exaggerating when I say it's one of the best SNES RPGs, and that's including shit like Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger.

If you have not spent all your votes, you can still add new ones. I would figured you of all people would know! Or maybe you've disabled it since I last used it.
You got BOOST power!

OK, I saw that I was able to do that, but I thought it was only allowed because of my admin access and I didn't want to "cheat"—but if others are all allowed to do it as well, then I don't mind adding a late vote and fixing my mistake!
