I'm a little confused on the lobbying picks though. Like Tyrannix picked a whole lotta games. Not sure which ones are his actual "picks" at this point. How does all that work?

there's no lobbying, right? i assumed all the picks were going to be each thrown into a random generator...no?

Umm.....can Raiden lV be a pick, since it's already on deck for the next SotM?

Lobbying: Where I try and get others to nominate the same game to increase it's chances of being chosen.

yeah I know. I just meant - I thought we were all supposed to pick 4 games, but you've mentioned a lot more than 4. So I was confused what your 4 picks were.

I usually make a few suggestions. :mrgreen: Give you guys some options.

XX, Dimahoo and Mars for some re-play goodness. And,

CAW, PGAU, and ZG2 for something new.

RIV 'cause it's hard to find a good C.P.S. game for the '06-'10 bracket. Most of their great games are pre-'06. May have to find something else here though. fox is right: It's on deck for next month.

---

Checking into the ZG2 emu issue. Would really like to play this one.

so if a game is mentioned more it increases it's chances? that favors pet games...i want randomness and chaos :twisted:

also, no past/future SOTM games, please.

mjm, how are you picking? there are random generators like this http://www.random.org/lists/ where you could paste everything, randomize, and take the top pick...

I typed up a really long, drawn out, response to this...but I wasn't positive it would have been perceived as funny or not...I know I was laughing as I was typing it, imagining you thinking to yourself...*"Is he f'ing stupid? What is he doing? Why is he making it so complicated..."

Anyways - I figured i'd just number the picks (1-18 or whatever it is) for each category, post them in the thread, and then ask someone not playing and not aware of the club to randomly pick 4 numbers, 1-18. There needs to be a code, like "whatever number is picked, add 2" just to keep it on the level. I was going to ask you, noise, and exed to have that code known to the 3 of you only, then once I post the "winning numbers", you tell us what they mean.

This is my serious response...but boy, it reads pretty convoluted also.

WoW! Dig all the crypt-o stuff, m5. The long list, the encoding, the random unrelated person picking keys, and then multipliers n stuff. Now that's some :twisted: shit right there.

Can't wait to see what games pop out of your hat. :lol:
