Wow, we had a lot more nominations than I expected! A total of 585 video games were chosen as contenders. Now we will be shaving this down to 100 before the final phase. Before we get started...

List of games:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aAZEUohsFiUryARQ9zrwHqObEo6yY1eN5DkulZbonQg/edit?usp=sharing

HOW PHASE 2 WORKS
- Each user can select 50 video games from the list above to support.
- Please PM me the lists to avoid bloating the topic.
- Please use the titles as they are presented in the list. This will make tallying significantly easier on me.
- No collusion please.

I lowered it to 118, took 38 from it for nominations. Of that 80, randomized the list, broke it into 8 packs of 10, and eliminated two from each pack. Then, with 64, I broke it into 4 16ths. Eliminated bottom five in each quadrant and added one from each to my noms. Then, with 40 left and 8 spots open, re-randomized, elimated two from four 10-packs and... I don't really remember, but it eventually got to 16 left with four spots open and went into one-on-one tournament with a losers' bracket. Last four remaining entered.

What's the format going to be? Also, it might just depend on where the cutoffs are for the voting. Like, let's say if you include all the games that get 2 votes, we get 120 games, but if we include all with 1 vote, we get 400 games, it seems silly to try and pull a top 250 out of that.

Currently, we have over 250 games with 3+ votes, and I'm not caught up yet. I'd just feel a bit sad if games received decent support and couldn't be included.

I'm going to have to be the contrarian and say top 250 is a poor idea, if only because of the significant amount of snubs (Mega Man 3 and Shovel Knight in addition to the games I mentioned) that would very likely make such a list if they had been nominated. This list should be genuinely representative of B8's tastes, rather than merely of the games which something like 40 people happened to remember in three days during the nomination phase.

I dont really get what these people are saying about "I had so much trouble narrowing down my list"

Most of these games are great, but tbh, I think there is a pretty clear cut separation in some of the games that get onto the final ballot and those that don't. Personally, i had to ADD in games that I didn't originally have on my short list. I'm naturally more selective when it comes to these but I would not be surprised if others had the same dilemma.

250 is also way too large. If anything if there are a lot of ties at the 100 cut there should just be tie breaker rounds. Like, personally if a a lot of games got 3 votes... and tied with like 40 other games with those number of votes, i don't really care about them on the list.
