IGBY Game Selection - 4 Games - Vote Again!
« on: June 23, 2014, 08:36:37 am »
Here's a shitload of games to vote on. Results only show once you've voted, so that leaves some measure of "secrecy" to the process, even though we'll just be discussing the games publicly here. You can vote for up to 3 games and you can change your vote. Suggest more games and I'll add them to the poll....though I'm not sure if that resets the vote count.

I added games based on the following criteria:

1) Games that fit the strengths of the the group as a whole
2) Games that can be absolutely dominated by a few players on our team
3) Games that can be dominated by a few but might be learned quickly by others
4) Games that are just murderous in difficulty so everyone is at a disadvantage
5) Games that we've played recently and are fresh in our minds

Some of these suggestions are obviously horrible but we need to get the ball rolling...I just threw out a bunch of names.  Kappa

EDIT: Adding games to the poll does not reset the vote count...so suggest away!

Ok, so I really like what Jry did here, these are good ways to select our games, at least initially.   <Billy>

I think that we should include DK, sooner than later; it is inevitable that we will select it, and the sooner we do, the less likely the other teams are to get better at the game.  If we pick dk in the last month, it gives the other teams 3 months to get good at DK. We (as a community of self-moderating, relevant CAGers) <Pigger> are essentially on the top of our game (tourney was just this weekend and most of us play fairly regularly anyway), so we should pick it before the other teams have a chance at going good  <Allen>

Can we please add Frogger and Galaxian to the list?

Again, I don't expect anyone else to vote for these, but I'll take whatever opportunity I can to promote the play of both games.

They are maybe my 2 favorite games to play right now along with arkanoid.   I'd change my vote for them Ross nohomo

There was something eating everyone

I'm for adding Galaxian to the list. Why isn't DK jr. on the list, seems an obvious choice.

DK No-hammer (mame japan set)  524600 level 21-4

According to this, the competition rules have changed:

https://donkeykongforum.net/index.php?topic=921.msg16791#msg16791

We now need to pick 4 games at once to submit by June 30th. I don't think we need more games to choose from so I'll just reset the poll and allow everyone 4 votes.
