+cmart604 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 The grouping is fine, I just think that the home-brews should not be pitted against the original 125. I also think that all home-brews should compared together, whether in one or multiple polls. Yah the homebrews should absolutely be in there own categories.

Oscar G. Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I agree with the previous postings, home-brews should be apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Dunno what goes into what, but my favorite games are: Tron Deadly Discs Space Patrol (Demo) Terminal program (ECS) ----------(Lets me play the BBS game Legend of the Red Dragon online.) D K B-17 Bomber Well, that is generally what I play. But if the Terminal program and L.O.R.D. doesn't count I have a lot of time on Star Strike.

+DZ-Jay Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 you mean ALL teh homebrews or just the winners of game of the years?As far as I know, there's only been three "winners of the year," Donkey Kong Arcade, Christmas Carol, and Super Chef BT (or was it Super Pro Tennis?) This precludes other games like Stonix and Space Patrol, which never got the chance, since the polls started in 2011. Unless you are suggesting to include the pre-2011 set with the winners of post-2011? That's fine with me, since the community seems to have already spoken for the latter ones. My comment was because in your post you said, the "original 125+home-brews (pre-2011)," and then "home-brew winners (post-2011)." I just think that the two sets of home-brews should go together, and they should be separate from the original 125. What do you think?

+cmart604 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I'd actually like to see us start from scratch on the homebrews with 1 on 1 pairings, however I'd set it up so that Space Patrol, Carol, D2K and Super Chef end up being the final four unless there's an upset.

vprette Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) mmmm... since many people around the pools suggest to save several very good games that do no win the pools for the round 2... I'm a bit confused on what to do: choosing only few second place because they are just good titles is not fair as concept... so either we take only the pool winners OR we move the 1st +2nd to the round 2... for aprox 50 titles in round 2... but this will make the contest take longer time... don't know, what you prefere?

Top two works for me. No need to be in a rush. As Joe mentioned, cutting from 125 to 50 is a pretty significant culling to start with. Maybe then it goes to 20, then 8, 4, 2 then winner? At the end of the day, this has us all talking about our favourite Intellivision games and isn't that the point of us coming to AA in the first place? I'd say more of a good thing is....well, good.

I suppose the final should be with 4 titles... not just 2.... you want just 2 titles in the final? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the final should be with 4 titles... not just 2.... you want just 2 titles in the final? Well at 50 you'd have 10 groups of five with the top two in each advancing, then at twenty you'd have four groups of five with the top two advancing, then once you get to eight I'd do two groups of four with the top two advancing which gets you to four at which time I would do two semifinals of two leaving the last two games standing to battle for the overall title.

vprette Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 we are close to define all the pools for round 1. so far, with some surprise at least in the % amount, those are the most performing leaders Atlantis 83% !!!!! Burgertime 77% Bump'n Jump 68% Shark Shark 66% World Series Baseball ECS 62% Beamrider 61% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 This has been lots of fun so far, thanks again for doing this. I'd suggest for round 2 that games that competed in the same group as each other were separated for this next round. By the way, you'll be adding Diner to that top percentage group when all is said and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
