#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 238

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:

😬x10... I might come back and give the Disgaea port a single vote, but... we'll see how much it bothers me.

Crystal Castles is the bomb so it got votes for that quality. Takes of Graces wtf was a simplistic but really good Tales game. I dropped well over 100 hours in it and there was still more to see and do.
No more nightmares, I’ve seen them all. From the day I was born, they’ve haunted my every move.

OH, geez, I almost didn't notice that Spacewar!—developed in 1962—was in this pool. Easy vote there. Ridiculously influential game, not just on other games, on a genre, but on the existence of the medium itself.
