The Top 30, Winter 2008

JSH357 · Post by **JSH357** » Fri Jan 18, 2008 11:31 pm

I want to have a Top 30 poll now, since interest has been brought up. This will not interfere with RMZ's Top games of 2007 poll (I'll aim for the February issue of HSpeak).

The last poll went great; we had lots of responses and some interesting commentary. As much as I'd like to see that happen again, some changes need to be made to ensure similar quality, but a unique list.

First, here is the previous Top 30 List for reference:
http://www.jsh.illuminative.org/top_30/ ... mer07.html

Since we had some good general comments last time, let's get CREATIVE for this poll. The new rule: you can submit comments for a game like last time, but you can also submit a haiku or a screenshot. (if you don't know what a haiku is, look it up on Wikipedia)

BONUS QUESTION: Vote for the five best games in terms of story and/or dialogue.

Rules:
1. Vote for your five-ten favorite OHR games/movies/whatever. Lowest number = highest on your favorite list.
2. You may vote for your own game(s). The choice is yours, but bear in mind that if nobody else votes for your game, it will not make the list.
3. You may not vote for unreleased games. Demos are fine, though.
4. You may not vote twice, including by altnick.
5. You must be an active member of the community in order to vote. In other words, if you just registered and voted your vote will be ignored. This is done to prevent rigging.
6. Type out the entire name, just in case I don't know what the acronym is.
7. Airship 2600 is banned from this list. Sorry, it's just too good. Additionally, any other vaporware games shouldn't be voted for.
8. You are not required to give any reason for your votes, but you can include a short few sentences. The best ones will be posted on the list as flavor text. (Naturally, don't write any if you don't want yourself to be quoted)
9. Vote for individual games, not entire series. (OHR House, Pitch Black, etc)

Some general guidelines:
1. No one cares what you vote for, so don't feel compelled to vote 'in the community's eyes' or for games that you think are good but don't actually like. I want this list to reflect the personal preferences of real OHR users; i.e. I want it to be largely subjective.
2. If you want to vote in private, PM me with your votes and I promise not to reveal them to anyone.

How scoring works:
Your number 1 choice gets the most points. The higher the number, the fewer the points. In addition, the number of users who actually voted for the game is taken into account.

I'll post an example vote soon.

Deadline: February 8, 2008.

After some discussion with Surlaw and reflection on it, I've added a new rule:
9. Vote for individual games, not entire series. (OHR House, Pitch Black, etc)

Deleted the posts relating to this so the thread doesn't get too clogged.

The Never Go West part is the best part in the whole game.
