#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 266

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:

We've got some strong sequels in here with Sly, Silent Hill, and R-Type. I couldn't decide which one should be my last vote, so I chickened out and didn't choose.

I gave DikuMUD a full 3 votes for being an amazing (and surprisingly enduring) RPG platform, and then cast 1 vote to Divekick, which was a hilarious 1-hit-kill piss-take on the fighting game genre.

MP gets a couple votes for obvious reasons. Maximo 2 gets a couple. I started it in October but just barely. Decided to keep it for next year, but I'm sure I'll like it.

Last vote goes to Typing of the Dead for being an amusing novelty. I wonder if Typing of the Dead: Overkill was nominated. It's good too!
You got BOOST power!
