Welcome to the first round of #BGE2020 pools!

Each game is randomly seeded into pools using the set 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 later this year.

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!

I gave 1942, Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, and Ghouls ‘n Ghosts my evenly divided votes here. I love them all and they could each serve as only games I’m playing if for some reason they were the only ones I had. And I’d be fine with that.

Circle of the Moon is not among the best Castlevania games, but it's among the best games here. I would have considered voting for 1942, but I preferred 1943.

There is a school of thought that 1942 is set shortly before 1943. So to really experience the story as a whole you need to play both and in order
