Surprisingly Robotron has not repeated it's first polling near win and is languishing in last place! And what happened to Mr Do! he looked like he was walking it... DK is a great game but on the tougher side of things. Still plenty of time to vote and play in round 1 EVERYONE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually same in the last round, but I assumed I missed the deadline? Can't find a vote button, do you have to place all your votes at the same time?

carlsson Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Yes, once you cast your vote it is final unless somehow a moderator can remove your vote. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the voting is public, it is possible to compile and compare the votes for each round. In this case we see two contrasting patterns: Robotron: Out of the 13 people who voted for it in the first round, 8 haven't cast a vote at all in the second round. Another 3 people have chosen to not vote for it this time, only 2 remaining from first round plus one new voter who didn't participate in the first round = total 3 votes so far. Donkey Kong: Out of the 10 people who voted for it in the first round, only 2 haven't cast their vote in the second round. Only 1 person who voted for it in the first round didn't in the second round, but instead 2 people who didn't vote for it in the first round did now, plus two new voters who didn't participate in the first round = total 11 votes so far. If these were politics, we could assume that Robotron is a middle party with volatile voters who might go for any other party, while Donkey Kong is quite solid on either side of the political spectrum with loyal voters, though sometimes the total might be fewer. Personally I don't belong to either of those parties, but I'll play along with whichever government we end up with for the next two weeks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest, I don't even what to vote for (my first vote was Mr Do!). I've never played DK (though I've seen the King Of Kong doc), Yoomp or Robotron. Think I'll go for DK, just because I've been wanting to give it a try for years now. If the votes are tied, stick me down for DK, but I'm happy to try any of the others either way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTrust Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Hot damn, this is an embarassment of riches. Never played Fire Chief, but it looks pretty good to me. I'm not a fan of BM2001 myself, and I'm sure there will be DK and R2084 players that blow everyone else out of the water, but all of these should be good for competition and are super playable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I voted for DK...but I'm regretting it a little now...because we're finishing up playing DK in the 2600 HSC. Not sure I can handle another 2 weeks of it, but it's all good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Technically last round ended yesterday and it probably is a matter of hours or minutes before TRBB declares a new round, so I suppose it is on like Donkey Kong for the next two weeks.

McKong Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 If Carlsson was in charge there wouldn't be all this waiting around...although I might have had a sneaky game of DK this morning! ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
