Thanks, Lithos.<br/><br/>I've gone through the numbers but the table I've drawn up isn't playing nice. I'm struggling to get the 'hr' bbcode to work correctly. I hope I can get it sorted out later today.<br/><br/>EDIT: Hm. Still struggling with the table. I'll add it later, but here's a summary.<br/><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td>Game</td><td>H1</td><td>H2</td><td>H3</td><td>H4</td><td>H5</td><td>U1</td><td>U2</td><td>U3</td><td>U4</td><td>A1</td><td>A2</td><td>HH1</td></tr><tr><td>Votes</td><td>118</td><td>109</td><td>104</td><td>103</td><td>114</td><td>103</td><td>72</td><td>134</td><td>103</td><td>117</td><td>122</td><td>127</td></tr><tr><td>Placed</td><td>4</td><td>7</td><td>8</td><td>9</td><td>6</td><td>9</td><td>12</td><td>1</td><td>9</td><td>5</td><td>3</td><td>2</td></tr></tbody></table><br/>Thank you so much everyone for voting. Given the choice of games proposed and how long it took I'm amazed but very pleased so many of you took the time to vote. Next, my apologies, this post will probably end up being stupidly long, but please bear with me.<br/><br/>The voting as I've inferred as we've gone along has been fascinating to watch and I think it tells us some interesting things.<br/><br/>There does seem to be some fairly clear split between players who like action oriented plots and those who like smut. Balancing the two will be interesting unless we run two games. Or more.<br/><br/>Early on I decided to divide the votes into green numbers (10, 11, 12), red numbers (01, 02, 03) and grey numbers (everything in between). One game trailed right from the start and never really was in serious contention. That was U2 The Maze. It gathered 10 red votes and only 1 green one, though that was a 12. Total score was 72. It ranked #12.<br/><br/>A number of games attracted moderate amounts of green votes and few red ones but the grey ones they got were on the low side. H1 Unrelenting (ranked #4) falls into this category as does A1 Domination Education (ranked #5). Strangely I viewed these two games as almost copies of each other though I implied Unrelenting could have an action plot as well.<br/><br/>A few games really split the vote. Most notable was H5 Pet Shop of Delights (ranked #6) which attracted 12 green votes, 12 red ones and 5 greys. It seems you either love this premise or you hate it. It might be due to the doggies, almost on a level with furries or anthros so maybe a bit 'out there' given out contemporary preferred setting. Another game equally split with 6-5-6 vote was U4, Past Lives (ranked joint #9) which also promises a complex plot and some action but the Feudal China setting was outside our terms of reference.<br/><br/>Then we come to the last category of voting spreads. Low numbers of both green and red votes and high numbers of grey. All the rest of the games fall into this category. Few people loved them, few hated them but<em>most</em>people liked them a fair bit and for this reason I think these are the games we should focus our interest on since they have the highest number of votes that liked them somewhat and the lowest numbers of voters who strongly disliked them. The games I've covered above all fell into the trap of too many reds or too many low greys.<br/><br/>U1 Devil's Island had 3 green, 5 red and 9 grey. It ranked joint #9.<br/><br/>H4 School of Shadows had 2 green, 3 red and 12 grey. It might have suffered from my declared intent to play it without adult content. It ranked joint #9.<br/><br/>H3 Section Nine had 3 green, 5 red and 9 grey. It ranked #8.<br/><br/>H2 NORT had 4 green, 3 red and 10 grey. It ranked #7.<br/><br/>A2 Underground Sex Trade had only 2 green and 2 red but 13 solid greys, enough to give it 122 votes and rank #3.<br/><br/>HH1 Hunters Club had 3 green, only a single red (the lowest of any game) and 13 solid greys. It gained 127 votes and ranked #2.<br/><br/>U3 Dead Reckoning, much to my surprise given the declared contemporary setting had 8 green votes (the highest incidence of greens), 3 red and 6 grey. It gained 134 votes and ranked #1. It seems people wanna play a zombies game.<br/><br/>Feedback please!
