[Archived] Time for a new community playthrough?
I guess I could also lead a playthrough of Oknytt.
*Sigh* If I’m not careful then I will just end up leading all the playthroughs in a long time.
I promise you that I take my break only in this voting (if there still is a voting). I will make myself available in leading from the next one.
Just think, if “Hotel Dusk” gets just four more votes, we could have our first handheld only community playthrough…........
All kidding aside, I’d be happy with a Syberia 2 playthrough as well.
I enjoy playing adventure games on my Alienware M17 r4 and my Nintendo Switch OLED.
The voting represents the game in which the majority wants to participate. Saying that “we will have a playthrough of a specific game anyway, no matter what your vote or preference is” (for any game) shows disrespect, to every person in every voting whose preference was not chosen. Instead, they waited patiently until their prefered game was chosen to play from the majority.
I am on Diego’s side in this matter and I don’t see any disrespect provided the game in question is not on the voting list. If someone wants to start an unofficial playthrough, let them. Preferably not during the voting for an official playthrough. Why wait patiently in line for something that won’t ever happen? I’d love to play Plundered Hearts (or some other text adventure), but there will never be enough official voters.
PS: Count me in for Hotel Dusk. I have the game, I have an old DS. All I need is a CP!
PPS: Something else. There are far too many games nominated compared to the number of voters. Not good for voting. It’s one reason we always end up with three, four, five games with the same number of votes.

Well, that’ll teach me to officially announce my unofficial playthroughs in ahead. (seriously, “unofficial playthrough” can be every little thread on the forum where two users discuss game. Hell, you can open the thread and discuss the game with yourself as you progress). But let’s not cry over spilt milk - I will lead Toonstruck playthrough only if it wins the official playthrough.

I’m not sure about the other players, but my old eyes need a BF monitor. (Currently using a Samsung 27” LED) The thought of only being able to play on my phone, or my Kindle HD, or even a large tablet, would exclude me from the playthrough in a heartbeat.
Although from what Sefir says, playing Drawn 1 on his tablet during the CCPT is the way he thinks the game was meant to be played. Particularly when he can input graphics using his finger rather that being tied to a mouse like I am.
So, I guess, while I wouldn’t play a phone or tablet-only game, I’m envious of those of you that still have the eyesight to pull it off.
For whom the games toll,
they toll for thee.

Well, you tried to have your cake and eat it too. Either you announce your unofficial playthrough regardless of what happens elsewhere in the AG forums (like Bad Mojo, Zork GI, GAG, among others), or you nominate the game for the official voting process. IMO you should continue promoting it as an unofficial playthrough. I don’t understand why you changed your mind.

I don’t understand why you changed your mind.
Because Toonstruck is winning the voting.
No, you’re right, I should had determinedly said that Toonstruck is going to be the unofficial playthrough no matter what, before the voting started. Now people have already voted for it.
(on a even more brighter note, don’t you think it’s great we’re “arguing” about multiple playthroughs, when you couldn’t gather a bunch even with a shotgun, only few years back? I mean, The Adventure Company is back, Oscar ceremony is starting in few hours… Life is good.)

I mean, The Adventure Company is back,
Eh? Tell me more.

Nordic Games bought them and are publishing games under the label. Book of Unwritten Tales 2 is published under The Adventure Company label:
Edit: I also vote for Hotel Dusk, need to support DS playthroughs
IMO, there is no difference in promoting an unofficial playthrough of ANY game, as long as it is a playthrough (unofficial or not is only in words. It is a playthrough of the AG Community and this is what matters). Being in the voting process or not makes absolutely no differennce in my eyes as long as it is clear that this game’s playthrough will take place no matter what. I mean, really, why we even have this voting process? Why chose a game for the majority of players to participate when anyone can say anytime “Neh, who cares? Lets have any playthrough I want (along with a number of other forum members. Big or small number makes no difference, it wasn’t chosen by the majority after all)”.
This is what I found disrespectful. Because in every voting, other members patiently waited or still wait for their preference (Syberia 2, Tony Tough, etc) to be chosen by the majority and be played by the greatest number of participants, while others want to have their own playthrough not regarding anything.
As for the current voting (someone else might just take it, I’m not going to participate on it any more) as of this moment is something like:
Toonstruck: Winner no matter what
...
...
...
Other votes that really have no meaning.
(I really do respect diego’s choice not to lead this game in case it doesn’t win the voting, but anyone else still can)
EDIT: Yes, Toonstruck is winning the voting process by a couple of votes if we take numbers into account and it is a nice coincidence, but that may change anytime. I’m afraid it will be really controversial if something like this happen.
EDIT 2: As for the cases of “unofficial playthrough” that took part in the past, I checked the old archived threads and, with 4-5 exceptions, there was no voting process back then for choosing what the majority wants (this was a process something that started to be stellarly used from 2013 and there where no “unofficial” playthroughs since then)
PPS: Something else. There are far too many games nominated compared to the number of voters. Not good for voting. It’s one reason we always end up with three, four, five games with the same number of votes.
Well, in previous votings you did tell me to start from “clean slate” where everyone can propose any game with no restrictions….Though I now see no harm done. There where only a coule of times where what you mention (having 2 games with the same number of votes in top spot) happened…

I’m sorry you’re upset, Sefir, and I hope you’ll reconsider.

Yeah, I know I was in favor of the clean slate, which has both advantages and disadvantages. If spontaneous CPs are out of the question, maybe the general rules should be adapted so that games with fewer voters also have a chance, for instance in a later round of voting. If a game always ends in second or third place, or is nominated every time, voters are obviously eager to play it.

This is starting to get bad taste
I would also like to participate in:
The Night of the Rabbit, Blackwell and Blade Runner playthroughs.
As for the current voting (someone else might just take it, I’m not going to participate on it any more)
I’m sorry you’re upset, Sefir, and I hope you’ll reconsider.
Nah, diego counts the votes just fine.
I’m not sure about the other players, but my old eyes need a BF monitor. (Currently using a Samsung 27” LED) The thought of only being able to play on my phone, or my Kindle HD, or even a large tablet, would exclude me from the playthrough in a heartbeat.
I use reading glasses myself. Currently 1.0 - but if you used 3.0 you should be OK on a typical tablet computer.
Now if you are already using 3.0 reading glasses and a 27 inch monitor - well then a tablet would not cut it no matter what you did.
Maybe a handheld only community playthrough?
Anyway, Blade runner has a slim chance, we’ll see. Before I AM branded a handheld only gamer - I have 366 PC adventure games, all of which are mint condition collector’s editions.
I have 70 waiting to be played on my PC netbook….
