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!

Casting a 2-2-2 split for the excellent original Assassin's Creed (I liked it), the excellent deep cut Line Rider (thanks for nominating it, Shoe!), and the excellent Tales of Game's Presents Chef Boyardee's Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden, Chapter 1 of the Hoopz Barkley Saga.

I gave a couple voted to the original AssCreed even though there’s lots of better games in the series....a couple Parodius votes because I’m a sucker for quality shooters....and one vote for Katamari Damacy for being fun and bizarre at the same time.

Too many great memories with Line Rider. Being a 2006 game it's actually not as ancient as I had thought, but was definitely my first foray into user generated content and ragdoll physics.

Turns out they made a Line Rider 2 on the DS, with full colour animations and everything.
