It's a Knockout! 2009/10: Game Vote

http://storage.mikendezign.com/lemon-vs-eab_800.jpg

Starts: 00:01 November 15
Finishes: 23:59 November 28

It's that time again! Last year's competition was a big success so let's hope we can do it again this year. (Nice banner put together by mihcael)

Rules

Knockout rules are here (http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=492853&postcount=4). Please read this one...

Your first choice gets 5 points, second 4 pts, third 3 pts, fourth 2 pts, fifth 1 pt. Edited votes will be discounted.

Please only vote on one board - either EAB or Lemon. You can only vote once, and also it could cause confusion if you post your vote on both boards - it's easy for it to be counted twice by accident.

You can only vote for the 15 games played in the 2009 Super League:

- Superfrog (http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=42078)
- Arcade Pool (http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=42486)

Why is nobody voting WizKid :(

[TCD]

Why is nobody voting WizKid :(

Well, Dan Locke over at Lemon did... That game isn't really great for a competition and even those who enjoyed the game feel that way I guess.

[Graham Humphrey]

No it's not that bad, it's pretty good really, ignore him ;)

[TCD]

You should give it a try xpect. Nicely enhanced Pacman so to say :D

I will indeed TCD. I was later in the competition thread and the screenshots seemed quite appealing. Thanks! :great

[john4p]

No, it's really not a bad game. I just personally didn't enjoy it. Main problem is the game is very time-consuming and I just couldn't find the motivation to dedicate my whole free time to it.

Still Pacman is fun. And Mean Arenas is better than Pacman. :great

[rexsu]

Well, everything is turning out as planned, he, he...*cough* *cough* *gasping for breath* ;)

[TCD]

All Terrain Racing and Super Cars II! Yay!
/me goes and books the flight to the Bahamas instead :p

[Graham Humphrey]

Got it all wrapped up have you? :great

Just like he did last year you mean :cheese

[john4p]

Just like he did last year you mean :cheeseAs long as I don't encounter rexsu, mailman, Wayne, jPV, skateblind, mipe, xpect, Biscuit or Largo in ATR I'm confident in reaching the podium this time. ;)

Btw., the one-armed bandit will be forbidden in Super Frog this time, right?

[Graham Humphrey]

Yes that's correct. We had a little discussion the other day and as it relies purely and totally on luck it really wouldn't be fair for this competition. We might start on different tracks for ATR too.

[Graham Humphrey]

Skateblind sent me a PM choosing Medium for Super Cars II so that will be the difficulty setting played for that game.

How were we going to score this? Getting a perfect score on medium shouldn't be too hard for the 2 best competitors to achieve!

[Graham Humphrey]

Tie-break on lap times I guess.

It's a good idea. It will be fairer for those who didn't play. And discover new circuits will be fun.
