OK... I believe this is what people are saying: do not mix up pacman and mspacman - but DO mix clones and originals together - I.E. pacman and pacman-fast(clones) will mix together - most votes in that game will get the game, not both. I think I like that idea, so I will put a vote of no to allow direct realatives to the games(I.E. pacman and mspacman), and support mixing of clones(mspacman(6 pts for example), mspacman-fast(8pts), 14 total, mspacman-fast would be played, not mspacman).(posted 9227 days ago)The vote now makes 6 votes to 1 against the second ruling - according to the new voting rules, the motion is rejected(I know... quit the formal junk :) )
The new rule is as follows:
The only votes that will be combined together will be a game's original and it's clones. Whichever one gets the most points gets the game submitted into the tournament, but not both.
Next thing: Pat Laffaye alluded that we should have no more than two of one type: racing, shooter, collect em' up, etc. Current rule stands that we'd have no more than one of very specific types: hangon, outrun are similar(checkpoint racers), but say rally bike and F1 Dream would not.(qualifier racers) Granted, this could also be a subjective type, but probably easier to get right than the previous issue...
