Vote total as of January 29 (No change)
Unless there are any objections, I plan on closing the vote tomorrow, January 30. There has been no change in the vote for four days. All the usual suspects (voters) have been accounted for. I’ve already pulled the two games that received no votes, and, other than the Dire Grove duo, I can’t see any other game having a chance to overtake the Drawn trilogy.

Voting closes tomorrow, January 30. Remember, you can still add games to your “vote for” list. You can also still change your mind about a game you voted for.

I just looked, and I still have all 3 Drawn games on my computer. I’m looking forward to a replay of them.

I’ll add a vote for Dire Grove: Sacred Grove.
FINAL vote as of January 30
We have a winner! Very close. Nine votes for Drawn trilogy. Eight votes for the Dire Grove duo. At least it wasn’t another tie. Sefir is leading the first game, Painted Tower. Lady Kestrel will lead the second, Dark Flight, and Tim (aka me) will lead Trail of Shadows. I’m sure as soon as Sefir is ready to start, a message will be posted and TimovieMan will pin the playthrough.
In my opinion this is, without doubt, the greatest series in Casual Gaming. So much so that many regular AG players adopted it even though it came from BFG Game Studios.
It’s different than any casual you’ve played before. Enjoy!

I will open the appropriate thread in the following days.

I think if we start anytime during the first week of February that would be great. I know you’re still working on the AG playthrough so there’s no rush. I’m just happy we have a full complement of leaders for the trilogy.

I’ve got all three games installed and ready to go. I have the CE for Drawn 2 and 3. Didn’t find a CE for The Painted Tower, though. Did I overlook it, or does it not have one?

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka
I can’t find any evidence of a CE for the first Drawn game on Big Fish either. I own the SE, and I think I would have bought the CE if one had been available. I don’t remember for sure, but it would appear that there is no CE for the first Drawn game (I have the CEs for the 2nd and 3rd games).
I agree that there’s no hurry to get started. Maybe it would be best to wait until after the last chapter in The Whispered World playthrough is launched?
No need to get your undies in a bunch, yet.
I think it would be a good time to think about another playthrough.
I’m also thinking that I will post roll-over candidates on March 1, and we’ll go forward from there.
But this does show, as TimovieMan surmised, that conversation on the Casual Games thread is in inverse proportion to Playthrough activity. My objective is to reach a happy medium. I.e. Playthrough activity shouldn’t adversely affect game conversation.
So, start thinking about nominees.

There was a big conversation over on the AGCPT thread regarding the nominating/voting process.
Seeing as I participate in both venues, I’m interested in what people think here.
They decided to wipe out all previous votes and start from scratch. My thought is to bring forward the dominant vote-getters, and go forward from there. If a game that got zero votes gets re-nominated so-be-it.
If anyone has some thoughts as to how we might improve the nominating/voting process. let’s hear them.

Frankly, the nomination/voting process works as it is now, imo. Why risk complicating things by overthinking them?

Seconded
OK! Is everyone ready to start a new Casual Playthrough?
Following are all the games that received votes. All the listed games are available from Big Fish Games. When nominating new games please give a brief synopsis of the game. I’m fairly certain that all games have a demo.

Depths of Betrayal
Nightmare Adventures - Witches Prison
Rite of Passage - Child of the Forest
Namariel Legends: Iron Lord
Dark Strokes - Sins of the Father
