Tourney 4 - Those that got games and didn't play question.

greenspun.com : LUSENET : MAME Action Replay : One Thread

I have at least two people who voted, got games, and didn't play a single game. I won't mention they're names because of the "riot act", but I'll ask what do you want to do with these people whose description fits the description I mentioned above?

What about those that voted, didn't play a single game, but didn't get a game they wanted?

I say those who got the games and didn't play can't vote in Tourney 4.

Those that didn't get the games they wanted should be allowed to vote in Tourney 4.

I await your responses...

As it's thanks to those people who voted and didn't play we ended up with Amidar, Gauntlet 2, Ghouls & Ghosts and Xenophobe I say they should definately not be allowed to vote in T4. Especially as none of mine got in :)

So only 6 of the 10 games were actually votes by people who participated in T3? Maybe they intended to play, but it annoys me almost as much as those who play one game for a top score and don't play the other 9.

I guess you can't enforce voting rules as you don't know if people will play or not, but it's not really fair on those of us who suffer crap like Xenophobe for 2 months (one of the reasons I quit T3). They should certainly not be allowed to vote in T4.

Crash.

I feel person who completed the tourny should be given the full vote. In other words, they should be allowed vote for 3 games.

Where as a player who did not play and finish the games should only be allow to vote for one game. (You can simply not allow a player to vote. But, you can restrict it.)

Also, I feel the winner of the previous tournament should allow to pick one game for the next tournament. This game would be automatically be in the next tournament. Barring, of course any real serious problems like it not emulated or working right in MAME.

you can name me cause i'm one who voted, got a game, and didn't play because i didn't have time to put up a good effort.

I needn't remind everyone that this isn't a tournament to see who's the best at what they like the most. The reason we made it random was to pick games that were out of the main stream so that all skills would be needed to be a winner of a tournament. I still say Give everyone the same vote(s), even stig, and randomize the picks like T3 is an excellent way to poll a "vote".
