MARP Tournament - Game Selection Tie Breaker Vote

OK... since there's so many games with 2 votes, and keeping an even number of games, let alone keeping a decent number of games to play is difficult, I'm taking one of Chris Parsley's ideas and calling a tie-breaker vote. Prioritize your games from 5 to 1, most liked gets 5 points, least liked, but still liked, gets 1 point. A number of games with the most votes will get MARP Tourney stardom. I really didn't want to take this step, but it's either that, play a bunch of games, or take an uneven number of games... I'll show you an example later.

Oh yeah... you're prioritizing the games with 2 votes, if a game
comes into 3 votes, then it's out of the tie-breaker, if a game comes
into 2 votes, then it becomes part of the tie-breaker.

Well, I didn't vote for any games in the first round, is it too late?
I thought we had until the 30th to decide? I expect I'm being really
annoying by voting so late, but shouldn't the tie break happen after
the close of voting?

<p>

If the voting is still open, my votes would be:

<p>

pang3 - panic mode ** double votes game
bubble bobble
bombjack
qbert qubes
klax

<p>

Based on the current tied games, my tie-breaker votes would be:

<p>

5. Money Puzzle Exchanger
4. Klax (it's tied if you count my votes above)
3. PacMan (speedup cheat)
2. Millipede
1. WonderBoy

<p>

Um... awaiting your flood of complaints...

<p>

Chris.

Good gosh, Chris. It's about time you showed up and played with the
others. I was beginning to think that you weren't going to
participate in the tourney. Hmmm...I see you've picked games that I
can't beat you on. :p

class in a few hours... ugh... :(

I know I was putting it off until the last minute, but that was
because I can't decide what games to vote on... way too many!! I
also wanted to be "fair" and pick games that I think would make for
good competition, yet ones I'm also ok at playing. ;) But I think
I've finally narrowed it down to:

<p>

Satan's Hollow [2-point vote]
Berezerk (regular romset)
Robotron 2084 (TG Tournament settings)
Alien Syndrome
Xybots

<p>

As for the tiebreakers, I'm not sure which games are tied... but Mr.
Do! Run Run gets my 5-point vote, and Money Puzzle Exchanger solo play
gets my 4-point. I'll post my other picks before I go to bed.

Okay, since it doesn't look good for Wonderboy making it into the
final list, I may as well help my cause by adjusting my 2 point vote
from Wonderboy to Bomb Jack to make it count for more.

<p>

Since Wonderboy won't be in the tie-list anymore, (and Bomb Jack is
now a 3 pointer and above the tie voting) please adjust my tie break
vote as follows:

<p>

5 = River Patrol
4 = Puzzle De Pon
3 = Pacman Fast
2 = Tempest
1 = Do Run Run

<p>

Ok, here's my list of games prioritized best to least.
<p>

Regards,
Steve Krogman

<p>



<p>

1) Galaga (turbo-fire) TG "tournement setting" which is all the same
settings (3 men to start, 1st free man at 30K, 70k, and every 70k
thereafter, and a difficulty setting of "D" to allow the game to
continue after stage 256) but difficulty set to "C" instead of "D" to
ALLOW an ending by a kill-screen.

<p>

2) Tetris

<p>

3) Ms Pacman (turbo)

<p>

4) Pang 3 (panic mode)

<p>

5) Donkey Kong

Steve,
<p>

I think you've missed the point here.

<p>

Galaga (turbo-fire) is already above the tie break level as is PANG 3
Panic Mode. All your others are not currently in the tied list.

<p>

ie: We're supposed to be voting 5-1 on the following tied games -
although my latest vote change has removed Wonderboy from 2 point
tied contention. Thy will totally lose their formatting, but refer
to <a href="http://members.tripod.com/~petegame/tou ... html">MARP
Tournament</a> for a nicely formatted version. (I can't be stuffed
trying to format the HTML code for it to look good on this message
board.)

<p>

BeeJay.
