#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 245

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:

Progress Quest gets unironic big votes from me for being the first true idle game, which spawned an unlikely resurgence in recent years. Also voting for Dragon Quest VI, which isn't my fave among the IVVVI miniseries, but it's still very good.

Full votes for Elite Force. Loved playing this game based on my favorit series, sadly can't play the version I have anymore.

I have to give props to Bio-Hazard Battle. Simply one of the best Genesis games that ever came out and one of the best shooters from that generation. Beautiful.

Also gave some votes to DQVI, my favorite from the Zenithian trilogy.
