Voting CLOSED
Welcome! This is going to be a really hard task, I know. I suggest reading this post carefully because this voting is a bit.. different than the usual ones. Let me explain how we'll handle this:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| Which games can we vote on? |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a community vote, so we'll vote on the PC games (yes, restricted to PC, as other platforms, like iOS, doesnt make sense if 90% of us havent played games on that platform) we, as a community, played last year. This means you can vote for any game in any of these threads:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| Why is this thread in the Community section? |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I will not advertise this thread outside of the Indie thread, but I will post the banner of the voting thread and a short text on the top of every page of the Indie thread to steer Indie thread regulars into the voting thread. Additionally, I will make a list of every user who voted during a monthly voting in the last year and write them a PM to let them know of the open voting. The reason for this and the creation in the community section is that I want to steer people to the voting thread that actually read the threads/participated in the past monthly votings, and avoid being flooded by the very sizeable amount of users who only played the "biggest" Indie Games.
This is not a general GOTY voting, but a community voting, so I think this should help better represent the opinion and favourite games of the users over in the monthly threads.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| How will the voting work? |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The only thing you need to know:
You need to provide a list of 20 games, among which you will automatically share 210 points based on your ranking. You dont need to give any points, you simply rank the games. You are free to give multiple ranks to the different games, which in turn means that you skip the following places that would normally correspond to these ranks, like in this example:
Additionally,you are free to include a second list of up to 30 more games, which will not directly get "points", but only Honor points, which will decide any draws these games might have. Consider it rank 1-50, divided into two lists.
If you want to know more anyway:
The reasoning for this voting system is to allow people freedom over how to judge their games, if you want to rate 20 games in the first place, that is perfectly fine but they will share the total amount of points you will give to your voted games.
The first 20 games will get proper points, like in this example:
If you decide to give the same rank to multiple games, these games will get the average amount these ranks would correspond to, like in this example:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| What are we going to use this thread for? |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two main things:
1. Your voting posts. Feel free to post an incomplete list with games you keep track of and edit that post until the end of the voting period. Do not post more than one voting post, but please edit your voting post if you already created one.
2. Posts about games you think deserve a mention. If we look at this thread, it should be preferably filled with lots of posts about what makes all these Indie Games so good and why others should play them to include them in their lists. It is fine to post an older post about a game if you consider this post still representative of your current opinion and think it properly expresses why the game is as good as you think it is.
Any posts about the regular december voting, general Indie talk and similar issues still go into the current Indie thread:
Indie Games [December]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| What are we going to do after the voting? |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once the voting and vote tallying is done, I'll create a proper thread in the Gaming section, showing off the result as a "Best Indie Games last year we think you should be playing." with proper descriptions and pictures/gifs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| Who the hell made that awesome banner? |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A round of applause for Chainsawkitten, everyone.
