Finally lost one!

+14 Skies of Arcadia

Going to point out that SoA has by far the highest placement-per-list average so far. 76 Points with 5 List Appearances means an average of +15.2 per list.

+16 here

Seems like something is marked wrong or someone's votes didn't get counted.

Wickle +18
Maniac +16
Mana +16
Janus +15
Kamikaze +14

Yeah, by my count, Skies should have 86 total points with 6 list appearances.
---

So its not even as simple as someones vote not being counted as we are 10 off.

That's 6 appearances. It was originally stated to be 5 appearances.
---

That's literally what I said.
---

Will put this on hold and look into the situation. May have to do a full recount if it feels necessary :/

Lol

So yeah, Skies was definitely miscounted so I'm gonna check some other stuff.
---

Would it be easier to just have people post their votes in the topic going forward?

That would ruin the surprise factor, which is part of the fun of these lists. Maybe just have people make a quick post saying they sent a PM?

In the past, when Holy Excalibur used to run these projects, the votes were always public

No one ever posted vote updates publicly

People seemed fine with public votes

I do like the surprise factor more though

This. I do like discussing some things, but the surprise fits with this.

Wouldn't be so bad if I weren't shit at counting

btw I decided to just do a full recount when I'm off work, so no updates tonight. Will address other changes or completely start over if needed....

Whatever it takes for DKC2 to be #1

i also like the surprise of it
dunno how plausible it is on your end but it may be worth including how many points everyone gave each game when you submit each portion of the list?
would probs make it easier to identify mistakes earlier.

Do you have the votes in a doc or anything?

If so I can help give it a second look if that helps.

Or send me the votes and I'll make a doc for you. Should make it clear to see number of lists and total score. And it's a slow day at work.
---

In fact I'm so bored at work I already started by using the partial votes people have posted in this topic.

So I guess if other people want to PM me their full votes (to this account please) I will update it more and send it to tazzy later today to complete if he thinks it will be useful.
---

Honestly feel free if you want. I think it was more the method I used to count it, as I didn't keep a running total and simply added up everything at the end. Probably just a calculation error but it worries me I got others wrong.
---

Cool just shoot me the votes to that alt and I'll do it.
---

Actually on second thought this is a lot to send over....
---

I can email you the spreadsheet if that works better.

PM me an email address

EDIT: Zen sent me his votes so that has been added
---

Any update on the situation here? Should I send my votes to Maniac's alt above?
---

And should I?
---

I missed this.

Where the fuck is Dark Souls?

imo tazzy should just recount and post everything from 100-61 in one post and continue on.
---

I sent him the link to my Google spreadsheet. No idea if he is just recounting however he was doing it or using it though.

I will still update the Google doc with anything sent to me though just in case it helps.

But yeah I figure he will just recount, post the update to where we are now, and move on.

Had a super busy weekend but it looks like I just fucked up on Skies, so hopefully we are done with that

Attaboy Bloodborne! That's way higher than I was expecting for my +18.

Also whoa Hat in Time fuckin' killed it.

I mean, to put it in perspective, this indie game just placed better than Metroid Prime, Super Metroid, Pokemon B/W, both Paper Marios, and motherfucking Breath of the Wild on basically the Nintendo board.

Not to rain on this parade, but we still have four Final Fantasy, five Pokemon, three Persona, six Mario, three Smash Bros, and four Zelda games remaining in the Top 50.
---

well when you put it like that yeah, but at least the first half has been pretty varied

+16 Kingdom Hearts
+10 The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
+8 Paper Mario
+7 Skies of Arcadia
+3 Shadow of the Colossus
+2 Mega Man 2
+1 Sonic Adventure 2

I'm still looking fairly solid. It's funny, out of my top 5, it's the two that I would've expected to finish highest that have gone out before the other three.
---

I'm pretty surprised there's still 5 Pokemon games left.

For one because I figured they'd cannibalize each other more than this, for another because BW being the lowest is kinda lame, for another because both GS and HGSS are in it...weird. And a shame that BW is so underappreciated that there's apparently a bit of a gap between them. IMO the only Pokemon game better than BW is the original RBY, and that's mostly nostalgia.
