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!

2 votes for both Street FIghter and Half Life. Half Life is a great game with some nice spin offs, but at the time I first played it I also played Unreal that I liked more.

I went with a couple votes to Might and Magic II, which is wonderful. A couple votes for a stacking game I don’t hate (Mean Bean Machine), and a single vote for RCR, which I like but don’t love.

Oof, the excellent Guardian Legend getting crowded out in a strong bracket.

I gave my main votes to River City Ransom, the beat'em-up RPG par excellence. Also voted for Super Turbo, which is probably my favourite of all the different flavours of Street Fighter games.

Half Life for being so influential and for the amount of mods it would spawn.
