My personal feeling is that I never consciously vote a game 'down', because it has a smut/action direction. I do vote for what<em>I am in the mood for on that day.</em>Its a very ephemeral thing, an RP craving. I know a couple of other people mentioned it here just now. I might really really want to RP a game with yellow pigs in it on Tuesday but by the following Tuesday I've gone off yellow pigs and I'm into blue bunnies. It can change very fast.<br/><br/>If I voted again I would almost certainly vote differently.<br/><br/>I don't think that answers your question but it is how my mind works. I guess if I'm in a zombie action mood (aka yellow pigs) I'll vote a zombie action game highly. Next month I'll vote a slave hunt in the jungle game (aka blue bunnies) because my mood a month later is different. My mood swings are not that extreme BTW, I am actually fairly consistent on what I like but occasionally a game will come along (like Urban's Aliens game) which when I see it at first I have no interest at all but three months later I'm damn glad I joined.<br/><br/>Also important - very important - once I'm in a game, whatever it is pretty much - if I'm deeply engaged by it (writer quality, plot direction GMing skillz) I will stick with it.<br/><br/>Erm. No. I don't think that answers your question at all. I'm just rambling.
