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.

Mother 3 and Uncharted 2 ran away with it from the start.
I've been thinking about this for a while, but would anyone be opposed if I added a rule of 'if a game has been played by less than 5 people, it gets auto-eliminated' or something. I think it would keep the spirit of the contest while preventing 3 friends from powerboosting one game only they've played through the entire thing, but I'd like everyone elses' thoughts first.

Hilarious to see you mention something like this, mainly because I said on DAY ONE of this contest that lesser played obscure games were going to dominate this.
I'm not complaining mind you, just mentioning that I did bring this up and it has indeed decided a lot of matches.

I'm... hesitant on adding the rule. But it's your call.

That hasn't been an issue so far. Every game that's gotten in so far has had at least 10 people play them, until today.
