This week, Hempuli's FIG grabs the title by a stunning 47 vote win! Lily comes in at a distant 2nd place with 7 votes. OldManClayton: SAVE FDK! and my game tie for third place with 5 votes.
ah nvm ur right, it was on last weeks. well take my engine off their at any rate, its not a game or finished Comment edited by Ploxolthorft on 8/9/2008
You know, i don't really make comments, front page or otherwise. However, i feel i really must comment here. As games made by clickers get better and better, players will begin to weed out the lesser ones. This doesn't mean the lesser ones are bad games, it just means that more people have to step up to the bar. If FIG wasn't made this week, we'd still have a 3 way tie going. This week seems no exception. With R.O.B.M.S sweeping the title fairly easily. Not that i'm complaining or anything, I have nothing to offer click players yet. What i'm just saying, is that a few months or so ago, even last year, you wouldn't see a game like Iffermoon or FIG sweep titles like they did. Since quite possibly, we'll see more of this, and since those 'lesser' games are still appreciated, I think that some of them, should get a second chance. Especially if there's a tie or close race between second place games. Then those games should be given a second GOTW chance. The title would probably be 2nd GOTW or something. Also there would still be a GOTW which would be given more precedence over last weeks runner up. I'm not trying to ridicule the GOTW category or anything. I'm just saying that those second place games are sometimes awesome too. They should at least be given a second chance to prove themselves. Or at least see who would come out on top. Meh, this should probably go in the forums. Sorry for the long post. Just had to say something.
Lol, Adam, I knew there was something I forgot to do. Updating GOTW felt suspiciously simple
Codemonkey: Just a little experiment to see if anyone actually looks at the hyperlinks
Pluxulthruft: I've seen worse engines make it there. Heck, demo engines have won GOTW. Don't worry about it, you won't win
Xhunterko, alspal: Thus is the nature of GOTW. A GOTM would produce a more balanced tie, especially on slow weeks. If last week's GOTW was on time, instead of being 2 days late, my game would've gotten a decent chance at winning because FIG wouldn't be in it. But Mr. Street just had to include it
Actually, presenting old games which were awesome but didn't get a gotw could be a pretty awesome idea...
Make some scripting so that you admins can add uploads as challangers, then there can be a challanger per gotw week or so, as an alternative to the games presented atm. If there already is a good game that has been recently made and it loses to a challanger, it can become one as well.
I don't agree that the admins should waste their time on deciding which submissions are "lesser games" though. Doesn't really fill a purpose.
