I’d be up for helping tabulate votes if someone else wanted to do graphics and make the actual thread.

This sounds like a potential plan. Like I said it would be no skin off my back making the threads and we could probably reuse most of the top 100 banners from previous years (as long as @mZuzek is down with that).

Looking back I'm appreciating that you actually changed little stuff like the background of the index banners every year, that's pretty awesome, though I can't promise quite the same attention to detail :P

Splitting the work seems best. I could manually calculate votes, but probably not the best idea.

Agreed and congrats on 10000 posts exactly!

I was thinking of ways to cut down or simplify, so... maybe do Top 10 franchises?

Anyway, you can probably count me in if we get something running.

I think a plan B that involves all of us listing our top 50 lists and then the host using those lists to create a simple top 100 games list (not a top 944 games list, like last year) could work. And maybe use a weighted formula that prioritizes games listed higher on each top 50? I think that's what mZuzek did.

Actually, this wouldn't take much less effort. In order to know the overall top 100, you need to compile the full ranking from everyone, and that's what takes the most time. And the second thing that takes most time, honestly, was the top 100 post with all the fancy banners.

I've been considering the idea of just hosting the event again, only without the results. So it'd just be the Discussion and Official threads, people make their lists and talk about them, and that's it. But even then, making the threads with their fancy banners and making my own fancy images for my list was the next thing that took the most time

I feel bad, because I meant to make my list every year but life got away from me and I didn't feel welcome on this site for a few years. The greatest games event was and hopefully is the best part of this site. If it continues I mean. I really really hope someone else takes up the mantle, even if it's not as extensive as what you did.

This thread stagnated a bit and the 12th is fast approaching so if I don't hear otherwise I think I'm gonna go ahead and throw together a Sign-Up thread later today and we'll figure out the results part when we get there.

If the deadline of setting this up in a week is too much, we could make it "2 per day", a 25-day event starting December 7th?
Just a thought.

Sounds like a plan!

Yeah I’m not going to be able to do it. My heart wanted to but my brain says I can’t. I’ll participate though!

Thanks was trying to find the time and courage to post a thread about it.
