#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 34

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:

Oh, speak of the devil, here's Shadowgate! Easy max-vote there. Also tossing max votes to Metroid II, which is one of my fave in the series, even though it gets derided for not being as "open" as the others in the series. I loved playing it on my GCN's Game Boy Player attachment, which gave it some colour, a big screen, and a nice SNES-style controller to play with.

3 votes for Metroid II: Return of Samus, probably my most played GB game .. still play it a couple of times each year (VC on 2DS/3DS), only takes a little over 2 hours game time to finish it with 100% items.
