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 Skate or Die some votes for being a fun game with no objective other than having fun skating. I also gave LA Noire some votes despite not having played it yet (I have watched it played though) for its uniqueness and engagement. I still want to get to this one - perhaps in VR.

Voted for one of the first (if not the first) real-time strategy games, Mega-Lo-Mania, even though I suck at RTS and therefore don't tend to like them much. Gotta have respect for the crazy ambition of this kind of game on early platforms, especially when ported to console!

Are we only voting for the Xbox version of halo 2 and the pc/vista version is separate?

Xbox is the version that was originally specified in the nomination, and there are no other entries in the master sheet. Original PC version is a straight port, but the remastered Halo 2 Anniversary isn't represented in the master list, so would be worthy of a nomination.
