1. In this contest, you only vote for a game if you’ve played both games in its’ match. Both games. This is important. 2. You have to have played them yourself, physically. Reading a Let’s Play is not playing. Watching your friend or youtube is not playing. Disliking a genre is not playing. Playing the prequel/sequel is not playing. You’re the judge of how long you need to play a game before it’s fair to vote, but you probably shouldn’t be voting for/against a 40-hour RPG if you’ve played the first 5 minutes. 3. All ports & remakes are grouped together. You can vote for RBY if you’ve only played FireRed. 4. Please vote honestly. There are plenty of contests where you can vote any way you want. The entire purpose of this contest is ruined if people don’t honor the honor system. 5. In the event of a tiebreaker, the game with less C/D votes moves on. 6. One vote per person. Rallying is allowed if the people rallied also vote fairly and by the rules. Whichever game has more votes from people who have played both games (i.e. Choice A vs. Choice B) moves on. Matches last 24 hours.
Previous results: Will be posted in a bit in this topic and the discussion topic. I'll be doing that from now on, it's too unwieldy to put that and everything else in the opening post.

Total Votes: 61
First match went about as I expected. Even if Umineko didn't have a rabid fanbase, most people just don't care about the original LoZ. The second match was a lot more interesting and showed how weird this contest is going to be. More than double the voters had only played SoM as opposed to Jak II. If this had been a traditional contest, SoM probably wins.

You're the judge. If you think a few hours of Fire Emblem was enough for you to judge it properly, then vote however you want. Personally, I think it's fine, you would've learned most of the mechanics and gotten a feel for it by then.
Yeah... not a vote in its favor yet and only 4 people have played it but not Portal 2. Doesn't really help that it was a DC game and that the ports weren't all that good. Still, I'm pretty sure if I played both the only way I'd vote for Grandia 2 is a pity vote. It was a good game, but not some masterpiece.

A. I’ve played both. Vote: Bioshock -Fire Emblem was a decent GBA title, but man, Bioshock is an all time great imo.
B. I’ve played both. Vote: Portal 2 -Grandia II isn't bad, but I'm kinda confused as to how it got in, Grandia 1 is so much better. I guess it is a bit rarer though. But yeah, I like Grandia 2, but like Bioshock, Portal 2 is an all time great imo.
