that puts us at 11! which is half of what we had last year. i could run it with 11 but it'll be a very short rollout, prob 1-2 days

i'm totally fine with a short rollout honestlythough it is surprising more of us didn't go ham on video games last year
― Nhex, Monday, 15 March 2021 19:44 (three years ago) link
I definitely did, but I’m often playing games from 2-3 years ago

oh wait, I thought we got an extra week to get our votes in. I can submit a ballot tomorrow (or tonight) if needed.

Just emailed my ballot in.
― Judi Dench's Human Hand (methanietanner), Monday, 15 March 2021 21:45 (three years ago) link
Agh, I thought the extra week was going to happen too - I can get one done tonight if you'll wait for me.

I have sent mine in but not formatted in any good way or anything, please let it count plz plz
― emil.y, Wednesday, 17 March 2021 19:49 (three years ago) link
oh yes the extra week is happening sorry! was just saying it was not a lot of entries. anything submitted til sunday (the 21) counts! (by which i mean prob monday the 22)
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Thursday, 18 March 2021 20:58 (three years ago) link
Ah cool. I've just updated the thread title to reflect that in case it encourages anyone else to send one in. Did you get mine and was it okay to be counted?
― emil.y, Thursday, 18 March 2021 21:03 (three years ago) link
got it and counted it and forgot to reply :D
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Thursday, 18 March 2021 21:09 (three years ago) link
i just voted. hoped i made it in time.
― wasdnuos (abanana), Sunday, 21 March 2021 15:33 (three years ago) link
you did! adding it to the list now. probably the last vote unless someone chimes in here in the next, let's say... 18 hours?
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Sunday, 21 March 2021 18:58 (three years ago) link
is there anyone i should publicly harass? to vote, i mean? just give me the orders, boss, i'm ready to "increase participation" in our "poll" here, just give me the word
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Sunday, 21 March 2021 19:09 (three years ago) link
let's just say they have 18 hours until it's coytinz
i'm trying to imagine how polite and kind a karl malone brand public harassment would be and smiling to myself

oh, you have no idea, seriously! in the last week alone i've picked online fights with aphex twin, beeple (who seemed confused by my anger), horde of classist #crypto teens, and some #NFT "climate advisor" who is actually a "#crypto advocate" trying to "build a tool to measure something related to the Paris Accords"
it's getting ugly out there.
but no worries, i will keep it inside ilx and only twist arms that deserve it
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Sunday, 21 March 2021 19:14 (three years ago) link
alright, i absolutely tore into them on the whatchu playing thread, probably scared some sense into a few of them. i just hate when people act like they're gamers and they clearly aren't. could fix that by just voting in this poll, but whatever i guess
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Sunday, 21 March 2021 19:18 (three years ago) link
xp dang u did the gauntlet :O
honestly after this past year tho i don't hold it against anyone if they couldn't get it together, i could barely get it together to post enough to keep this poll running!
now that ive read the xpost tho i'm excited for blood to run thru the fora
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Sunday, 21 March 2021 19:26 (three years ago) link
one of these days i'll play a single game in the year it was released and be able to contribute
― ✖, Sunday, 21 March 2021 21:56 (three years ago) link
i still think it would be cool to take a year off (like 2021, for next year) and do some polls of older eras where there are many more games that we all know. then, we could come back to coint and plick in 2023 to cover 2021 games, with a bit more of a gap built in. maybe that's weird
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Sunday, 21 March 2021 22:30 (three years ago) link
waiting until march is tbh already pretty generous in giving people time to catch up
i sorta wish we had year-long threads for people to post about games that just came out, instead of sprinkling them into every other thread where people are also talking about games from 3 years ago
― ✖, Sunday, 21 March 2021 22:49 (three years ago) link
I have a hard enough time remembering what came out in the last year, if you were asking me to remember the year before that I'd be sunk.
― emil.y, Sunday, 21 March 2021 22:51 (three years ago) link
OK! I think I have counted every ballot (and responded to each one just now, just to be sure) -- if i didn't respond to you, let me know, otherwise i have the final tallies and will get to work on the images tomorrow! rollout COULD begin wednesday if work doesn't delay me!
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Monday, 22 March 2021 20:30 (three years ago) link
how many ballots did we get, and by that i mean, how many people is it going to be curtains for?
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Monday, 22 March 2021 21:46 (three years ago) link
15 ballots total! and, site says 59 logged in users active in the past five minutes so i guess that's a wrap on 44 of ya
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Monday, 22 March 2021 21:47 (three years ago) link
15 is exactly half of the standard for a significant sample size, 30. rounding up to 30/30 (#onethread), that makes this poll exactly significant enough to set the standard. well done voters!
the rest of you, though. if there were justice in this world, you'd have to game your way back into being a gamer, through some sort of tournament. as it is, i suppose some of these so-called "gamers" will probably just go on about their lives as if nothing weird had happened at all, if past is prologue
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Monday, 22 March 2021 21:51 (three years ago) link
wanted to but then I realized that I only played one of the games on the 2020 list, so I didn't. somehow seemed even more uncool than not voting :/

COINT AND PLICK!COINT AND PLICK!COINT AND PLICK!COINT AND PLICK!
i'm like the guy at best buy at 5am on black friday
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Wednesday, 24 March 2021 16:24 (three years ago) link
I stayed up super late last night finishing the images because once I started I was like "if I save the rest for later I'll hat emyself tomorrow"
Well, now I haven't slept well and am hating myself tomorrow
Anyway, I'll start soon
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Wednesday, 24 March 2021 16:41 (three years ago) link
haha, i'm sorry! no rush at all, for real. i just wanted to show some excitement. also i'm unemployed so
