If there are bonus polls for this contest, we should run 2 bonus polls on the day after the final. This means we'll have to use the round 1 match picture format (4 games per year). Here are some possible ideas for a bonus poll: Third Place Battle - 2001 vs. 1994 This seems pretty obvious, since this type of bonus poll has been done for the past 3 contests (Rivalry Rumble, Character Battle 2013, BGE 2015). The Character Battle one was technically a Fourth Place Battle due to the 3-way format of the contest. We don't know which 2 years are going to lose in the semifinal, but I'm going to guess 2001 loses next round and 1994 is definitely going to lose to 1998. Best vs. Worst Battle - 1998 vs. 1973 The expected winner of the contest should get a chance to participate in a bonus poll. 1973 was the worst year from the Vote-In polls and it would be interesting to see how much percentage 1998 can receive in a poll against 1973. The only issue here is creating a match picture for 1973, since it will be very hard to find 4 games of note to represent 1973 in a match picture. In the event 1998/1973 is not possible, we could swap out 1973 for 1978 instead. ??? - 2017 vs. 2007 or 1997 I have no idea what name to give to this bonus poll. Prior to the start of the contest, there was some disappointment over 2017 not being eligible for the contest since the year is shaping up to be one of our best years of this decade. Someone on the board created a match picture for 2017 based on the round 1 match picture format. I have no idea which year 2017 should face in a bonus poll. 2017/2007 should be a far more interesting match and would be much closer than 2017/1997 where 2017 will get blown out by 1997. Which year would you prefer to see 2017 go up against? --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as DpObliVion, Guru Champ! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I wouldn't mind seeing 2017 in there with the champ. I feel like that would be an unfair match-up for 2017 because both 1998 and 2017 have Zelda games. That's why I think 2017 should face either 2007 or 1997. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as DpObliVion, Guru Champ! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Pokemon RBY vs OoT (aka which is the best game of the best year in gaming)
It's like the end of double dragon where Jimmy and Billy won together and then had to fight each other to the death. I personally think RBY and OoT are our top 2 games on the site and I think the match could be debatable. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ocarina of Time vs Breath of the Wild It will be an easy OoT win. If you had this poll a month ago botw might have broken 40%. But nearly three months on.

I find it unlikely Allen will give us any kind of bonus poll that does not use entrants from either this contest or the Vote-In polls. So ideas like the Pokemon RBY/OoT suggestion probably won't happen.

So ideas like the Pokemon RBY/OoT suggestion probably won't happen. Why? We've had Link vs Santa before, not to mention that match with 4 Links and that match with L Block, ? Block, etc, so I doubt there's a hard rule against using entrants not in the contest. I think the idea is that Allen doesn't want to do a bonus poll completely unrelated to the actual contest (like Draven vs Undertale or something), but I fail to see why he'd shoot down RBY vs OoT. That one fits well with the theme of the contest. I do think any "rematches with better pics" is completely out though. Because if the rematch changes the result, there will be a lot of angry people and I doubt Allen wants to open a can of worms with that. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Link/Santa was a rare case where the timing of the bonus match (on Christmas Eve) made it appropriate to run that match despite the contest itself featuring games instead of characters. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as DpObliVion, Guru Champ! ...

I voted for Bronze Match plus 2017/1998 on The Show but Best Month of 1998 is an interesting idea, kind of gets us the Pokemon/Ocarina showdown while staying more in this format. There's not room for every month in the poll so maybe something like top ten months, best 3 games per month which would get us:
Jan - Final Fantasy Tactics/Resident Evil 2/Panzer Dragoon Saga Feb - Xenogears/Battlezone/Star Wars: Rebellion Mar - StarCraft/1080 Snowboarding/Parasite Eve May - Gran Turismo/Unreal/Einhänder Jun - Banjo-Kazooie/X-Men vs. Street Fighter/Wetrix Jul - F-Zero X/Star Ocean 2/Iggy's Reckin' Balls Sept - Pokemon RB/Metal Gear Solid/Fallout 2 Oct - Grim Fandango/Turok 2/Crash Bandicoot 3 Nov - Ocarina of Time/Half-Life/Baldur's Gate Dec - Star Wars: Rogue Squadron/Mario Party/Suikoden II Would be a nice showcase of depth for the champ on its victory lap. --- 2015 Champ Dp has one free invite to join yo and I on The Show this year! board8.wikia.com | thengamer.com/xstats ...

My suggestion for the poll question should be "Now that 1998 is the winner of the Best Year in Gaming contest, which month from 1998 had the best games?" We could list all 12 months of the year in the poll, with a list of 3 notable games from each month. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as DpObliVion, Guru Champ! ...
