Well, I was thinking about putting myself into my own Hall of Fame. While I pick everyone else who gets in I decided to leave this one up to the voters. It's hard to judge yourself accurately
I do feel that the main reason I put this up is because I do have narrative. Like going to live events and putting up scores.
Anyways, I'll abide by whatever you choose about me. I'll be bumping this thread up from time to time. 8)
If I get rejected, I'll wait another five years before I ask this question again.
-
Don't know if I get a vote, but absolutely yes.
For my two cents, you are one of the people who's gameplay I watched repeatedly to learn to excel at my game of choice. I'm sure that others could say the same regarding other games.
As our friends from Down-Under say, you're a fucking Legend mate!
-
No Disrespect But i think I should go in before you?

OK, my resume
1) World record holder in Donkey Kong 3 for over 12 years
2) I broke the DK3 arcade record live at two conventions
3) Former Donkey Kong Jr World record holder on MAME. Score was higher than arcade
4) Live Donkey Kong Killscreen.at a Kong Off
5) Current Arm Wrestling record holder on MAME
6) over a 300k score on Moon Patrol
7) Over a 300k score on Pac-Man
8) Over a 280k score on Zaxxon
9) Over 500k on Galaga five man
10) Over 290k on Robotrom 5 man
11) Over 2.6 million on Nibbler
12) Over 50k on Galaxian
13) Over 54k on Ms. Pac-Man
14) 2.6 million on Atari 2600 Galaxian
By all means Brian, show us your resume. You're pretty good at Space Firebird, and the record holder at Red UFO.
And you have an all time great rivalry with Allen Staal.
Mostly off the top of my head

easy yes vote from me
-
Bump 8)
-
yes

The poll needs to show who voted and how they voted. I'd like to hear the why behind the no votes.
Hello!?!?!? Helloooooooo!?!?!? I'd like to speak to the manager please!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
Yes, eventually. Right now I feel like some others should be there first e.g. Big Benny Falls
-
Fur sure. Easy YES! Big names, big games. Current champs learned from you.
My instincts said no, but me being an ass when you deserve in, would be wrong.
Fly

Yes, eventually. Right now I feel like some others should be there first e.g. Big Benny Falls
I don't understand, you literally suggested that I put myself in three years ago
Here's your quote
"All the bull-shittery aside, why didn't you include yourself?
Undisputed DK3 champ for over a decade. Had the #3 DK Junior score for a time and was #4 for 6 or 7 years or so. Still sitting at #7 but only 10k behind #3"
I really didn't want to respond, but this doesn't make sense. Why did you say that?
-
Well then, it looks like you aren't going to respond.
So, I'll have to deduce.
1. You obviously changed your mind
2. This is due upon further reflection you decided that Ben Falls is superior to me, and therefore he deserves to get in over me.
Fair enough, but it definitely hurts since you actually play the games I'm good in for the most part and so you have a clue just how difficult my scores are.
I wonder if the fact that you're better in almost all has made you lose sight of the fact just how hard it is to get those scores. Dude, your not a barely hall of Famer
You're an all time great. Maybe the greatest to do it
So, you changing your mind like that hurts. It's like a 6 year old me seeing their favorite wrestler turn heel.
The words that came to mind were,
Et tu, Barra?

OK, one last bump

I could never reward myself with anything. Especially a spot in an exclusive group that I'm the curator of. That's part of my crazy. I barely give myself credit for things I'm capable of. That being said, I think that you absolutely belong in any gaming HOF with regards to classic arcade scores/achievements.
I wonder if part of the solution here would be to change "your" HOF where you make the decisions to a CAG HOF with a board? Maybe choose 5 to 10 of all-time greats who are knowledgeable about classic gaming, and if they're agreeable, share ownership with them. Then, come up with a system for nominating potential's and have a once-a-year vote for induction.
Don't mind me. I ramble, often incoherently.
You know how I voted.
-
Easy approve for me. You changed the way people play DK3 and made people actually play, and enjoy the game, despite most people thinking the game was shit. (Some still think it's shit but that's not your fault).
I do think it's weird nominating yourself for your own HOF, but having your own HOF is already a bit weird so I can look past that.

Alright, the poll is finished, and I came up a couple of votes short with 65% in favor. I needed 75% that's what most Hall of Fames require. So, some reactions
1. Thank you to the 13 that voted for me. Your support means a lot
2. Thank you to the 7 that voted against me. I appreciate your participation, and you at least care about the Hall of Fame I created.
3. The reason I'm not in is because some of the no voters feel there's more qualified candidates that haven't been put in yet, and so their no vote is based on that. Those being Ben Falls and Brian Allen. Add those two votes and it equals 75 percent.
4 The openly no votes were surprising. Especially Barra. And truth be told, I respect Barra's opinion enough to think he's probably right. I'd like to have the Barra seal of approval before I get in. 8)
5. The bright side is that I'm picking four people this year, and this frees up one more spot 8)

You might have been a bigger name in classic gaming back then. Things change.

True, I've slowed down, but I'm still way more active than you in the past five years. I decided to become decent at a lot of the famous classic games instead of being number one

I definitely didn't mean any disrespect with what I said, George, and was mostly poking fun. You absolutely deserve to be in your own HoF
I do personally think a few people I've previously mentioned should have been in there before some others (myself included). But of course it's all up to personal opinion!
