Board 8 > Game of Generation V - NOMINATIONS

(+) Yeah! (+)

RULES

• You have 20 individual nominations to use.
• You now have 2 doubles to use on any individual gam, though you can't double the same game twice.
• You can change noms if you like, just specify what's being dropped and added.
• I'll set the current limit at 4 nominations to be eligible for the contest. Higher nominations can lead to higher seeding, though.
• Games which appeared in a generation prior to Generation V are not eligible. Popular examples from last contest would be Link's Awakening or Doom.
• Arbitrary dates used for computer and arcade games ONLY: January 1, 1996 - December 31, 2000. Console games released on fifth gen systems not in this time are still eligible, we just need to sanction off when these other types of games are eligible.
• No compilations. Stuff like Final Fantasy Chronicles is not eligible. In the event of something like Arc the Lad Collection (I have no idea if there's another situation like this), the games need to be nominated individually.
• Similarly, enhanced ports aren't allowed. There needs to be a pretty substantial change for something from a previous gen to be allowed. Two immediate examples of games which aren't different enough despite some changes are Link's Awakening DX and Super Mario Deluxe. I'm more likely to bend in trickier cases if a game did not make a main bracket in a prior contest though.
• Nominations will last until we get 64 entrants and will close immediately after. I'll post a document for tracking once I have time.
• Don't be rude or beg for people to support your stuff.

Popular systems which are the basis of this contest:

• Nintendo 64
• PlayStation
• Sega Saturn
• Gameboy Color

sources seem to conflict on whether wonderswan color counts as 5th or 6th gen (wikipedia says 5th, gamefaqs says 6th...)

this doesn't really matter since i strongly doubt anyone besides me would even nominate wsc games but i want to, so...

AS OF POST #76 WE HAVE REACHED THE BRACKET CAP

What the fuck guys. I can't really adjust the rule at this point unfortunately, but given it took a week to fill out gen 4 I thought the 4-nom cutoff was golden. I guess all I can do now is know that future contests will need a higher cap. Anyway, thanks for the outrageous support, this is crazy. Hopefully nobody will be too upset with me. I'm upset too since I only used half of my noms :/

well shit

i was still looking through all the game lists by system for most of the last like 12 hours so sad

my nomslist presently was going to be something along the lines of

Gran Turismo 2

Hi-Hou-Ou

yes i know that was more than 20 i hadn't cut down on them down yet

since no wonderswan color games were nominated i hope riviera can be used next time...

I'll set the current limit at 4 nominations to be eligible for the contest. Higher nominations can lead to higher seeding, though.

I feel like the wording here leaves it open to the cutoff being raised if you want to give people more time to get their noms in. I think most people would be understanding

agreed

you could just bump it to 5

i'm fine with the cutoff standing since i knew absolutely nothing i nominated would get in either way

Just to throw my input in I'm also cool with raising the cap.

Current limit wording is meant to identify that if participation is low, I'll lower the amount needed, which I had to do for 1-3. I think raising the limit would be a bit unfair given the amount of people that have already participated under the understanding of 4 noms being enough.

I'll change the wording in the future though

I guess we could raise the number of participants. 128 is too much but whatt are thoughts on 96?

I'm about to peace out for up to 10 hours so feel free to discuss. I'm just 100% not going to raise the nomination requirement.

Looking at the final nom list, this contest is going to be wild. The GBC Zeldas and FF9 are slated to be dangerous 10-12 seeds. Then you have Banjo, Snap, and RE1 as 8-10 seeds. Lot of depth in this bracket.

Also, love seeing FF7, FF8, and SotN as 1-seeds. And MMX4 as a 2/3 seed!

Good job, Board 8.

EDIT: I'm fine with adding more entries. 96 or 128 works for me.

Sin & Punishment, Valkyrie Profile, and Lunar SSSC all got in, my friend.

i edited those ones in after looking at the existing noms lmao. i was referring to the ones that i was original nominator for aka. most of them

also nobody look at my accidental napple tale inclusion please, it's hard to remember which games were late ps1 or dreamcast at times...

anyway i'm fine with whatever works best, increasing doesn't matter much assuming there's still snubs, though i guess the extension does mean i'd at least have a shot at getting things into snubs (ok probably not)

I would never be opposed to raising entrants.

ya I have no issues raising entrants. This is the first gen that most people here probably REALLY started to play in, at least that true of me, so it isn't surprising that way more activity is happening.

up it to 96 imo

96 - it's a good enough increase to get some snubs in and just small enough to keep off the chaff.

THERE ARE NOW 96 BRACKET SPOTS AVAILABLE

Won't be able to update doc for a bit though

Oracle of Seasons and Ages should be counted as separate games IMO.
