Unfortunately I did it before reading your post :?

Some minutes later, I got this invoice from Amazon:

I think someone in this forum is betraying us... :roll:

Looks like I'm a bit late for the party. But I strongly support people saying that Deathchase shouldn't be here if it was under "D" already.

Sorry, but this poll has to be redone from scratch.

Not as far as I know, once the poll has been set up, it can't really be tinkered with.

[mention]namco[/mention] [mention]PeteProdge[/mention], any chance you guys could have a crack and one of you do a new poll sans 3D Deathchase?

(by the way fellas, thanks SO much for doing these all these polls, I can't believe we (have nearly) reached the end!)

The results so far:

3D Deathchase: 16
180: 11

We need 6 guys that haven't voted yet to vote for 180 till next 3 april.

This would be the easiest solution.

I do recall doing an edit to a previous poll and that reset the scores. So maybe that could be an option? But in that case, could someone compile a list of what is not supposed to be there, other than Deathchase? Lunar Crabs was another complaint.

That's true. I've played around with phpBB in my time. If you have database access, you can change the votes of course, it's a bit tedious and you have to look up every user's unique number.

I'm planning to run another Way Of The Exploding Fist vs Where Time Stood Still poll when this one's concluded, just so we can conclude the winner of W (although again, it could end up as yet another tie, I know!). Then I'll re-do this one, sans '3D Deathchase'.

Yes, I'd like to thank Namco for taking on the reins after my lengthy sabbaticals.

You are in a dark, cold room surrounded by mad trolls that love playing Zythum. To the north, there's the choice of considering the second position (180) as the winner. To the south, you must repeat the poll. The trolls are hungry.

WHAT NOW?

In all seriousness, this Sunday morning, the W poll gets re-run for 7 days (because, as you may have seen, us Brits really believe we can get a different outcome by asking the same voting question repeatedly). So we may find that Where Time Stood Still is the proper winner of the W poll. Or it might be Way Of The Exploding Fist. Or... *shudders*... it ends up in a tie again.

From Sunday 14th, this poll gets re-run, only without the games that have been in other polls (so yeah, no Deathchase).

I could quite happily pick the second-most-voted winner here (especially as it's my own choice), but hey, let's give everything a fair chance. The Deathchase voters could go for some other titles and we may have a different outcome.
