1. In this contest, you only vote for a game if you’ve played both games in its’ match. Both games. This is important. 2. You have to have played them yourself, physically. Reading a Let’s Play is not playing. Watching your friend or youtube is not playing. Disliking a genre is not playing. Playing the prequel/sequel is not playing. You’re the judge of how long you need to play a game before it’s fair to vote, but you probably shouldn’t be voting for/against a 40-hour RPG if you’ve played the first 5 minutes. 3. All ports & remakes are grouped together. You can vote for RBY if you’ve only played FireRed. 4. Please vote honestly. There are plenty of contests where you can vote any way you want. The entire purpose of this contest is ruined if people don’t honor the honor system. 5. In the event of a tiebreaker, the game with less C/D votes moves on. 6. One vote per person. Rallying is allowed if the people rallied also vote fairly and by the rules. Whichever game has more votes from people who have played both games (i.e. Choice A vs. Choice B) moves on. Matches last 24 hours. 7. If a game's playrate is 15% or less, it is auto-eliminated.

Planescape edges out Xenogears. As for the second match - it took a while, but we finally got one with no votes! Auto-elimination, tiebreaker, take your pick, Shenmue is moving on.
RE4 will likely hold but I would never assume a game is going to be stomped just because it's underplayed or whatever. The cult games have the winning record in this contest and really it makes sense-- there's a certain degree of investment needed to bother with those games which implies you already had interest in it to begin with. Whereas with other games people just happen to have played them even if it's not necessarily their type of game.
-- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love!
Right, I was just oblivious to the way the contest worked. This is actually the first time I read past results, to see how it worked, and the format of the contest has been duly noted.
I think it's more the fact that you've apparently played every game in existence that your vote was DQed. I don't think I've ever seen you vote C-E
I have played a lot of games. Some games I only played the demo of like FTA, but that's allowed. I have played them all, otherwise I wouldn't vote, I have zero reasons to lie.
