#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 29

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:

My feelings on Baba is You are well documented. :)

I very much love Ocarina as well.

I typically do not vote for Mario Kart games, but I have some affection/sentimentality for Mario Kart Wii for personal reasons, so it will get one.

Poor Overcooked! is a perfectly fun co-op game in a tough bracket! Wish I had a vote to spare.
You got BOOST power!

3 for Mario kart. I didn't play a tonne of it but the core concept was there and its plain fun Mario kart so it's an easy 3.

Havent been able to get into oots, fable 3 I hated so much I never finished it, tales from space mutant blob attack I remember being a monthly game for the monthly event we did on virtual console forums but I remember nothing about it that I couldn't even bring myself to give it a single vote.

Had to split even votes between 3 games: Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart Wii and Carmageddon 64.
Have spent a lot of time on Carmageddon 64 and it's one of the few games I completed 100%.
