I’ll withdraw my vote for Dreamfall Chapters for 2 reasons:
1. From what I’ve read, it’s a simple and easy game and a CP isn’t really needed to guide the player through it.
2. Black Dahlia has been added, and we’re unlikely to have such a good opportunity to play this difficult and rare game together.

Hey Oscar, I never saw the CPT primarily as a means to guide a player through a game (you can use a walkthrough for that surely?) & more of a means of sharing your experience & discussing the different aspects of it especially as in this case there are variations to be had from alternative choices.

Good point. There’s already a 62 page thread on Dreamfall Chapters sharing those things.

Karlok - 05 July 2016 02:02 PM

I’m not sure if that means you’re voting for Black Dahlia?

In all fairness I can’t vote for it yet. I’ll need to find a copy and get it working first.

Advie - 05 July 2016 03:15 PM

and Oscar i like you man and still but you need to grow a bit, and take things more easy, go on ignore this comment, it doesnt really matter.

and thats all..

Thanks Advie. I hope one day you can actually participate in a CP, rather than just voting and disappearing whenever a CP starts.

Sorry I haven’t been able to update the results for a couple of days, but here they are.

Please try to be more clear of whether or not you are actually voting for a game, or just making comments. Also try to avoid making conditional votes as they tend to mud up everything, expressing interest in a game and asking questions is of course fine, but please make up your mind before voting, or simply change your vote later if you change your mind - Thanks in advance.

Looks like Dreamfall: Chapters so far. I’m finishing up Kathy Rain and knee deep in Zero Time Dilemma as we speak so this is a maybe for me.

Does that mean that your vote and offer to lead Kathy Rain and Zero Effect 3 is a maybe / conditional vote?

SoccerDude28 - 02 July 2016 04:46 PM

Same here concerning Black Dhalia. I tried to install it before but couldn’t get it to run on windows 10. Any ideas how to get it to work?

Was that meant as a conditional vote for Black Dhalia?

Second round in case of tie,

  - People who voted for only one game during the first round retain their vote for that game but they can recast their vote another game if they so wish

I’ll withdraw too not because that DFC isn’t a great community playthrough, no its otherwise -when players get different scenarios and the fun of discussing them-  because these votings are getting too ridiculous .

They have indeed become ridiculous, but it would still be a shame if the CPT disappeared just because there are some who are hell bent on sabotaging the votes and/or are using this thread for their own twisted purposes.

I urge you to reconsider withdrawing your vote.

Edit:

Oscar - 05 July 2016 06:01 PM

Not really - There is a 62 page thread following the development of the game and discussing some other aspects, like technical issues, performance and reviews, but it has nothing to do with the things normally being discussed in a CPT - Two entirely different things.

And telling other people in private that he is voting just for the hell of it (ha, ha) but has no intention whatsoever of participating.

Thank you for understanding, but let me clarify one point?

all the time thru CPTs i have gotten the chance to participate twice for games i voted for, one was with diego (leader) and i went thru the game almost until the end and apologized there for not being able to finish it.

and the 2nd with Sefir (leader) and backed off out of decency, because i didnt like the game, and upon hinting this while the developer was around it sounded very rude so it was for the best.

Plug in my vote for Black Dahlia. Even if I can’t get the game to work on my system, I can certainly contribute via my walkthrough experience. I hope to get it up and running via Karlok’s link.

Sure put me down for Black Dhalia. I did not have the time yet to try making it work using wilco’s method, but I’ll get it to work somehow. If everything else fails, I have a Win XP computer collecting dust just for the sole purpose of playing old games like this one.

Also please add me to Dreamfall Chapters. I have bought it for really cheap in a sale, and have yet to play through it. I was waiting for all the chapters to be available so a community playthrough would be a good excuse to plow through it.

No, it was just a reminder.

I could vote for a game (Black Dahlia), let it win and then not play it (like so many voters do), but that’s not my style.

P.S. I don’t like votes.

I decided to read the thread about the tiebreaker rules. I now have a headache, but it was worth it: The duration of the first voting round was to be 10 days, not 15. And then Chrissie asked Timovieman for his opinion. http://www.adventuregamers.com/forums/viewthread/7601/P45/#107866

I’m perfectly ok with the proposition as it is. I only have some doubts about assigning a fixed length to the first voting round. It usually takes a couple of days to get going (and to get some game nominations in), and depending on the “vote keeper”, the round lasts until a specific date, or until no new votes have come in for a couple of days. Do we need to fix this? Or would a more general (flexible?) 10-14 days or so be better? Just thinking out loud here…

Timovieman was just thinking out loud here. Nobody responded to his post, nobody agreed or disagreed with it. Nothing else was said about the duration of the first round in the thread.

So, my dear giom, rtrooney, and Iznogood: It appears you good people got it wrong and/or are suffering from a bad memory. Where does the number 15 come from?

It looks like the 15 days comes from giom’s post #45, but that includes the runoff.

-  How long should the Voting be: (one week was too short, so it’s been changed 15 days with the first round lasting 10 days and the second round lasting 5 days)

It looks like someone didn’t finish reading the sentence when scanning the thread (oops).
Which means July 6 should be when the first vote ends? (if we start counting from June 26)
Someone check my math.
