Bottom 1024 — Week 6 — Poll 5

Post by This Old Neon »

Welcome to the #BGE2020 Elimination Round Lower Bracket!

Each game in the lower bracket is still seeded based on its performance in the two opening rounds of pools! Every game in the lower bracket has already been defeated by another game in a 1-on-1 poll to get to this point. This is their chance to claw their way back into the main event... but the stakes are high. The games that lose in these polls are out of the tournament for good! The games that survive will face the next crop of upper bracket losers in the next round.

Polls are updated weekly, typically on Saturday... or Sunday or Monday. Check back throughout the week to make sure you don't miss a vote!

HOW TO VOTE

This is easy. You only get one vote per poll. The game with the most votes wins. In the event of a tie, the higher seed advances.

Oh man, Rings of Power is actually a really neat little game.

I can't not vote for the originally Romance of the Three Kingdoms, though. I played it back in the day, and it instilled such a strong love of strategic gameplay in me... the original game is almost like a pen & paper game in the sense that everything is numbers and the maps are almost abstract. I remember keeping notes on the different generals because I didn't know who anyone was. :D Also, if someone sent an emissary to your kingdom, you could execute them immediately with no RNG chance for them to escape. (This became much more difficult in later games.) It was pretty wild taking threatening enemies off the map just because they came through for a visit. Good times.
