5 people have finished their lists (I don't mind if you do, but I do find it more fun to discuss one a day) for some reason or another.

Already at 194 unique games as well. Tallying all this sure will be fun. @_@

How do you tally them, just number of votes, or weighted against what number they are?

It's a sort of weighted system.

#1 gets 1 point
#50 gets 50 points.
Game not on your list (that's perhaps on someone else's list) gets 75 points.

The lower the score the better.

It's not the perfect system, but it's the one that works the best in this situation.

Hmm. There would be two easier ways to do it, which could allow for splitting workload

1: Fractions. Number 1 gets 1 point, number 2 gets 1/2 point, number 25 gets 1/25 of a point, and you could just do addition straight across, highest number wins.

2: Inversion, with no account for "game not on list," where number 1 gets 50 points, number 2, 49, and number 49, 2.

Unless you're trying to weight against unique games that don't make multiple appearances?
