Series Elimination Game - Results Are In!

You can promote a certain game all you want in the elimination thread itself. Posting on walls and other threads about the game is a bit excessive to me. If the people aren't bothering to enter the thread to vote themselves, and are only voting because of a wall post, that's not exactly fair...

Oh, so I did interpret you correctly.  You didn't mean banter between people in the actual game thread; you meant people going to other threads and such to try and rally others to the game thread to vote a certain way?  If that's what you meant then yes, I agree completely - that shouldn't be allowed.

Regarding the idea of giving a reason for your vote, and only allowing one per day... hmm... honestly, I think we're going to end up making these games prohibitively long if we do that sort of thing.  Also, don't forget that not everyone has played everything.  There are times that, quite honestly, I don't have any particular reason for a certain vote - I'll often find that there are games I want to vote up, and what's left I'm not really familiar with.  But in order to upvote my favourites, I also have to downvote something, and ultimately, I just have to pick one.
