Thanks, o.p.

Not be a doofus, but what is your name, and what does it mean?

[EllertMichael]

Ok, Made some pics.

And Ketsui, Giga Wing, and Varth needs some Arcade/MAME love too. Jep and I have some boards we need to play.

==========
01. dsheinem: Ketsui: Death Label (Nintendo DS version of Ketsui)
02. Tyranix95: Giga Wing (Dreamcast)
03. mjmjr25: <defer> - Cotton Boomerang
04. dunpeal2064: <defer> - Gunnail
05. pierrot: <defer> - Xexex
06. foxhound1022: <defer> - Raiden IV
07. ExedExes: Varth (PlayStation Portable, Xbox, PlayStation 2)
08. o.pwuaioc: Zanac (MSX, NES, Famicom Disk, PlayStation, Wii Virtual Console, PlayStation Network)
09. EllertMichael: <defer> - Baryon - Future Assault
10. hashiriya1: Air Gallet (Arcade only)
11. noiseredux: Galaga (pretty much everything).

Can we not do this? I'm not trying to be a dick, but I do not think it's unreasonable to do a few minutes of research on games you are uncertain about and make an at least semi-educated vote.

I'm not going to count half votes. I didn't last year either.

How about defer votes go to the top choice of that month's member?

[pierrot]

I changed my vote on dunpeal's picks to Gunnail, but it would leave Rapid Hero at 5 and bump Gunnail up to 4, so it wouldn't really change anything.

[dsheinem]

I'm going to bad sad if we don't play Crimzon Clover

<defer> is not a 1/2 vote. And <defer> does not mean that I'm <passing>. <defer> means that I'm voting the same way as the SOTM picker. So if mjmjr25 votes for Cotton Boomerang: then, I'm voiting for Cotton Boomerang. And if dunpeal2064 is voting for Gunnail: then, I'm voting for Gunnail. Sometimes I feel like playing a game that someone else wants to play.

Why are these separate? I'm don't see a difference in what I tallied and what you typed. Is there something I'm missing?

They are just examples, to show where my <defer> vote will go.

As I said before, <defer> means that I'm voting the same way as the SOTM picker. So if mjmjr25 votes for Cotton Boomerang: then, I'm voiting for Cotton Boomerang. And if dunpeal2064 is voting for Gunnail: then, I'm voting for Gunnail.

[o.pwuaioc]

Ah, gotcha, you hadn't added your name yet. I'll update the running tally now. (Of course, bear in mind that my tallies are unofficial. brunoafh is the one who will take the official tally.)

[brunoafh]

Vote how I ask or I'm not counting your vote. Simple as that.
