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!

This is the first rough bracket for me. Not voting scribblenauts is hard but Cave Story, Crash and Limbo are just too good then I also really wanted to give cave story 3 votes yet that meant giving crash or limbo only 1 vote so I ended up opting to 2/2/2.

Crash 1 is rough compared to 2 and 3, and even then I would much rather play the N'Sane trilogy. inFamous 2 is such a weird game. Sucker Punch had a hit with the first game and then tried to make a commercial blockbuster with the second game leading to a lot of weird decisions, including Cole looking like Nathan Drake until they changed him due to the backlash.
