How many of the votes I submitted are unique?
I don't want to make a habit of revealing too much personal information about people's nominations, but you asked first and I'm bored.

Three of your games have not been nominated by other people. You can't use that info to change your votes.

This depends heavily on how many submissions we get and the distribution of where the votes go. I'm not stretching a list out to 50 if that starts including games that only two people supported.

How are you posting it? Are you doing writeups or something? It wouldn't be hard to copy paste the rest of the games outside of the top 50 just so we can see what else got votes

Currently using this distribution as the weighting for votes:

+10, +9, +8.5, +8, +7, +6.5, +6, +5.5, +5, +4

With that said, now that we have 25 submissions...some stats.

The spot for #1 has become competitive, with two games neck-and-neck and two others hot on their heels.

123 individual games have received votes. 85 of those 123 games have only received support from one person. If the eventual list ends up being a Top 25 or Top 30 instead of a Top 50...well, there's your answer why.

8 games have received a single +1 (+4 when weighted) vote and nothing else.

2 games have received a single +10 vote and nothing else.

One game with five supporters has received (weighted) votes of: +10, +9, +7, +10, +8.5 . This is easily the highest value-per-vote average of anything with three or more supporters.

The highest average in general goes to one game with two +10 votes.

Both of the aforementioned games are Square games.

We're up to 29 submissions! Here's some random thoughts I've had while looking over all the lists:

"This person might have better taste than me."

"That's...a lot of RPGs."

"How have I not heard of half this guy's games?"

"No, don't nominate X! Nominate Y! X is totally LFFing Y."

"Has this person played more than ten games?"

"There's been a lot of people who correctly typed in every game's name. A surprise, but a welcome one."

"Heavy Rain? Again?"

"How does A have this much support?"

"How does B not have any support? I mean, I didn't vote for it either, but still."

I noticed that all the games on my list were pretty old, with one exception (which isn't particularly new). I wonder if it's just voice acting that hurts newer stories for me? It's always annoying when I can't advance dialogue at my own pace, and the scenes are often directed more awkwardly.

Voice acting at its best has produced some of my favorite moments in gaming, but there is something to be said about reading at your own pace.

I'd argue that 'weird daddy issues' has become more prevalent

My favorite bit about Nier 1 is that it beat all these western games to the 'morally-questionable-dad protagonist' idea to the punch by several years
