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!

This one is weird.

I gave max votes to CircleMUD, which is one of the implementations of DikuMUD, which was a fucking fantastic text-based proto-MMO platform back in the '90s. Some of the old classic D&D MUDs are still running today, meaning they've been continuously operating for over 20 years. That's bananas.

I gave 2 votes to Final Fantasy Anniversary Edition on PSP, which is actually one of my favourite versions of Final Fantasy 1. Very smooth gameplay and the graphics haven't been utterly fuckered with that weird mobile pseudo-sprite look.

My final vote goes to WarioWare Touched, which is one of the good WarioWares.

I’m not voting for Marble Madness again...or anything else here at all...
