I’ll vote for Touché if we can get the download link :-)

If we get the download link glom Touché is the winner anyway - this ‘2nd round’ is about voting again for 1 of the 4 games if the download link doesn’t happen - do you still want to vote for Touché or do you want to cast your vote differently?

No, I’ll still vote for Touché, I have the game actually but was worried for other members here. Thanks!

I like the second round rules this time, it’s quite logical…

I have been playing Shadow of the Comet. Currently has a discount on Gog.com

Possible contender for community playthrough?

Wilco picked it for the next community challenge. Should start soon.

I echo Karlok’s flabbergasted statement. Whether or not there is a tie, or whether the tie is moot because Touche wins due to a free download capability, this is all nonsense. This is the third time in the last three or four playthrough votes where there has been serious disagreement regarding the tie-breaking process.

Form a committee. PM each other until a consensus is reached. Post the suggested rules for comment. Fold the revisions into the rules and post the rules. Them’s the rules! Sorry you disagree, but them’s the rules. And the rules stay the rules until either the AGCPT ceases to exist or there is a compelling reason to modify them.

I think the rules in this case are fair but might not have been explained very well.

The idea for the second round is that everyone gets to vote for only one game.

So. what christie did was retain all of the votes made by people who voted for only one game and ask everybody else (including people who didn’t vote in the first round) to only vote for one game.

It does make sense in this case and it’s fair because it allows everyone to participate in the vote (which I hope would lead to more people joining the playthrough)

Enough of that rant. Question: I didn’t vote for Touche. Will access to the download be available to me should that game win and I wish to join the playthrough?

It’s my understanding that yes it’ll be possible. And if you have the time, you should, it’s a great game and it’d be great to see you there.

Owh wow…didn’t know that. Quality adventure game with good pacing and it will stir up some discussions along the way because of its nature. Seemed a good fit.

I’m not sure why either you Tim or Karlok are ‘flabbergasted’???? If there’s a tie then the only way to resolve it is to have another vote surely!  Or maybe you have a problem with the game winning due to a free download capability as you wrongly perceive but I don’t see why as it was ahead with 9 votes until 2 members were honest enough to confess that they couldn’t find a legitimate copy of the game & so their votes were withdrawn until Lady K was offered the game from a friend (no download capability mentioned BTW) putting it in the lead again & so it won fair & square!

I don’t agree with the committee idea but deciding on some definitive tie-breaker rules seems a good idea in theory (preferably in a separate thread) but I fear that in practise nothing would still be agreed after numerous forum pages !

Thanks glom - you explained that far better than I did!

Time for a new community playthrough?

I enjoyed my first playthrough discovering Touché together with the rest of you. If a game is chosen that is already on my ‘to play’ list, or that intrigues me enough like Touché, count me in.

As I would like to play a game that I haven’t played before, I don’t think I’d be a suitable playthrough leader, which makes me hesitant to nominate any games.
