No new posts[Archived] The Casual Playthrough Voting Thread
Just in case anyone hasn’t seen it, the Beyond: Light Advent playthrough has been posted and stickied here.
There is still an AGCPT going on, but our CCPT ended a few weeks ago, so maybe we should start a new playthrough. I’m sure I speak for everyone when I give a hearty thank you to Becky for leading out last playthrough, Beyond: Light Advent. (I’m still trying to figure out the significance of that title, if there is any.)
Since there was some turmoil regarding games that ended tied for the lead on the last few AGCPT voting threads, it’s best to get the CCPT rules out of the way. They are very similar to those that are being adopted for that voting process.
The nominating/voting process starts tomorrow, Thursday, 10 March. It will last until Saturday, 26 March, or until we go three consecutive days without a change in the vote count, whichever comes first.
In the case of a tie, all votes are cancelled. Only the tied games are eligible to receive votes. Everyone, including those who didn’t vote during the first round, is allowed one vote for one of the tied games. The voting for this round will last five days, or until no vote change for two consecutive days, whichever comes first.
I will not vote during the tie-break round. If there is still a tie at the end of the tie break, I will cast a vote to break the tie. (This will apply to anyone who leads the nominating/voting process. chrissie? Becky? If you want to do it, you’ve got the power. 
)
One last rule: Only games with leaders are eligible for the playthrough.
I know this seems like “much ado about nothing,” as Bill would say. But it is a simple way to avoid hurt feelings.
I know I said everything would start tomorrow. But seeing as I already did all of the above, I’m going to give myself a head start. Following is a list of games from the last vote that either received more than one vote or had a leader. I can’t speak for Lady K’s willingness to lead Eternal Journey.
Fright Tim (leader)
Shiver - Poltergeist Tim (leader)
Eternal Journey: New Atlantis
Final Cut: Death on the Silver Screen Tim (leader)
Let the games begin!

Voting is now open!!!!! Nominations??? Votes????
Maybe the new “Flash Mob” version of the AG playthrough is taking potential players away from here. Would be a shame, IMO.
But, we’re at the end of day one. No votes. No nominations. Two more days like this and we’ll temporarily close the thread and wait for a better time.

OK, I’ll vote for Fright and Eternal Journey: New Atlantis.
I’ll vote for Final Cut: Death on the Silver Screen but will try & take part in whatever is voted time permitting!
Real life is pretty busy right now (I’m preparing to celebrate the Christening of my first grandchild) so I’ll just vote for one—Fright.
Congratulations Becky!

Congratulations from me as well. I know what you mean. Tonight is our 30th Anniversary.

Current vote as of 11 March
3 Fright Tim (leader) furgotten, Becky
Shiver - Poltergeist Tim (leader)
1 Eternal Journey: New Atlantis furgotten
1 Final Cut: Death on the Silver Screen Tim (leader) chrissie
Note: Because of the unusual nature of the bonus chapter, which was discussed both in the Casual Games thread and the AGSotD thread, I do recommend getting the CE version of Fright.

I will lead Eternal Journey: New Atlantis if it gets picked. I vote for that one and Fright.
Happy Anniversary, Tim, and congratulations on your first grandbaby, Becky!

Home from my Anniversary dinner. Was great, although the Friday night crowd made the restaurant a bit less than"conversation friendly.”
Anyway, these four games are not the only games open for consideration!
I fully expect other games will be nominated, considered and voted upon.
This is, I hope, still a group effort. And will not turn into what is happening with the AGCPT competition. I.e., a flash mob game playthrough every eight days.

Wasn’t “Fright” the game where you recommended the CE over the SE?

Yes. The link to the Fright AGSotD is at the bottom of the vote tally. The explanation of the CE vs SE is there. I think it might be worth getting the CE. But the game is still pretty good without it. It simply gives you an alternative way of looking at the various characters.
