Here's a long overdue update on the voting status of banned gameplay techniques in MARP. The votes have been trickling in over the past 2 months, and I have added up the new votes and updated the <a href=http://www.primenet.com/~greggg/marp/rules.html>rules page</a>. (Note: you may need to refresh the page to get the latest version.)
<p>

There are currently 5 games that have banned techniques, all of which received at least 8 unanimous votes to ban the described cheating method (votes received AFTER the 8th unanimous vote are not counted - if additional unanimous votes are received, they are added to the total). The games involved are: COMMANDO, GALAGA, GHOSTS & GOBLINS, SINISTAR, FOOD FIGHT, and MR. DO (TAITO). For specific details on the techniques that are not allowed, refer to the web page linked above.

<p>

There are still 16 games that have not been decided upon through voting. Many of these require only 1 or 2 additional votes to push them over the limit. To cast your vote, and help evolve the rules & regulations of the community, please stop by the <a href=http://www.primenet.com/~greggg/marp"MARP Users Guide</a>, or more specifically, the <a href=http://www.primenet.com/~greggg/marp/rules.html>MARP Rules page</a>.

Heh, I just read my own description for how the voting process works,
and realized that there are 2 more games that have received enough
votes to be moved into the BAN / KEEP lists. I forgot that once 10
total votes were received, the majority vote would make the ruling.

<p>

TIME PILOT will be adding a technique into the BAN list, and
ASTEROIDS will be adding one to the ALLOWED list.

<p>

I'll get the lists updated by tomorrow night (I'm going to an NHL
playoff game tonight to watch the Anaheim Mighty Ducks finish their
season to the Detroit Red Wings).
