Castle Paradox

[Pepsi Ranger]

Alrighty, here we go:

1. Lolsidothaldremobine
2. Adventures of Powerstick Man
3. Origin
4. Walthros
5. Genesis
6. Mr. Triangle's Maze Madness
7. Arfenhouse 3
8. The Last Blitz
9. The Last Job
10. Matricx Re-hacked

Just a note to PHC: I'm still playing Walthros Mercenaries, but there's a good chance that it'll be on my list next month.

Also, just a clue to truth hunters: My new home’s philosophy is that computers are evil, acting as a prison for misbehaving imps.

Oh, and those who seek the truth should find the place where the second Epic Marathon was postponed.

Hmm... I'm having some issues with the votes, so as you may have
noticed, I'm changing this to a Top 15. The problem is, there are lots
of four-way ties and games that only one or two people voted for that
are ranked highly... Next time, I'm going to try a different method,
but since games which most people would blatantly disagree with being
on the Top 30 are leading the bottom half of the polls, I'm going to
cut the list down to a Top 15 for now, since that's where the votes
start tieing up and not making sense. Keep voting; three days left!

[Fenrir-Lunaris]

Let's see... might as well list the games in the order I enjoyed them from most to least.

1. TSSE (Sue me)
2. Mr. Triangle's Shitty Adventure 5: EX edition
3. Arfenhouse 4
4. SOJ2/SOJ:PD (Though it's only a demo, and you can't really grab it off the CP gamelist anymore. Naughty Fyre.)
5. FFH (Sue me again. Your choice of Hard or Easy Type)
6. Gihern
7. TS1/Timestream Saga 1 (Again sue me. These are the games I found most enjoyable)
8. Wandering Hamster
9. Montery Penguin
10. Arfenhouse 3

If you want to discount these votes on account of a conflict of interests/whatever, feel free to do so.

[Fenrir-Lunaris]

Unless I have counted wrong, the totals (discounting any PMed or emailed votes) are...




(Top 10/Blue Ribbon)
66 Arfenhouse 3
63 Walthros
61 Genesis
40 Powerstick Man
38 Wandering Hamster
36 Time Flies
33 FFH
31 TSSE
29 TS1
28 Spellshard: The Black Crown of Horgoth
(Top 20/Red Ribbon)
25 Lolsidothaldremobine
25 Wingedmene: Part One
24 Monterey Penguin
24 Purgatory
23 Trailblazers
22 MTSA5
20 FUABMX V4
20 Gihern
20 IMD Anthology
18 Paranoia Star
(Top 30/Yellow Ribbon)
16 Don't Push the Button
15 Origin
15 Dimensions 1 Remake
15 Walthros: Mercenaries
13 Query II
11 Arfenhouse 1
11 The Last Job
10 I Made dis: Director's Cut
10 Mr. Triangle's Maze Madness
10 EOTE2
(The rest/Honorary Mentions)
9 Query I
9 Halloween Quest
9 Blow Up!
9 Evil Dead Timeline
8 LoC2
8 Arfenhouse 4
8 Endless Saga
7 SOJ2
7 &And
6 Motherland
6 RRZR
6 Ecopia
6 Stoneset Saga
6 Memoria
5 Pitch Black
5 LoC1
4 Missing in Action
4 Ska Drummer Man RPG
3 Last Blitz
2 The Adventures of Meow
2 Neke: Woman of Mystery
1 Autumn Dream
1 Matricx rehacked
1 Sheep Rancher



This is simply for recording purposes by the way, and may in no way be accurate. For all we know, half a dozen people could have put Sheep Rancher as their #1 game and it would be the winner. And Setu played foul and put his votes in BASS ACKWARDS, so still counting from the top is pretty fubar'd. More or less these should be accurate ±10 points, which really isn't that accurate to begin with.

[Squall]

1. Genesis
2. Wandering Hamster
3. Purgatory
4. Blow Up
5. FFH
6. Trailblazers
7. Virtual School
8. Neke: Woman of Mystery
9. Tao Meow
10. Memoria

[Rinku]

1. wingedmene
2. horgoth
3. &and
4. origin
5. psst, it's a secret
6. the last job
7. harlock and rinku's game which includes the game 'bill's never go west'
8. tilde and the mask of
9. rat race radar rpg
10. that meow game by monheart

Fenrir, look at the difference in score between the last games on that list and the first ones. That's why I'm shortening the top 30 to a top 15.

[Fenrir-Lunaris]

I know, but it's also to show the wide range of scores, which form an increacingly steep curve as they get towards the top. Actually there's what, two days left to vote?

And only counting the top 15 is perfectly fine. I never had a problem with it. You could actually use this to show that none of the top 15 polled have any conflicts or ties, whereas everything below 15 seems to. It also shows just how close some of the entries are. So using this to show WHY you only need or want the top 15 will make everyone complaining for a top 30 shut up and realize exactly why that'd be impractical. In any case, it's measurable and concrete data, though I'm well aware that the results you're collecting are more accurate. Besides, it's out of date by two sets of votes.

I'd encourage people to jump in and start piling in votes ASAP, but that doesn't look like it's going to happen in the next two days. Anyway, I apologize for any odd inconvience my posting the actual totals of every vote posted was, though anyone with enough time on their hands could have simply counted them up anyway.

[TMC]

I often wonder why OHR community members are so fanatical about Arfenhouse. Isn't it a bit extreme for a game that's designed to be so bad its funny?

I actually hated Arfenhouse. I mean, it provided a few chuckles, but the same stale joke for the entire game sucks. Not to mention the gameplay was just a chore. I couldn't finish it.

[Iblis]

Heh, I remember when I first saw Arfenhouse I was like "No newbie game could've ever been that bad." Then I played Magnus, and I realized the horrible truth.

I think that the gameplay is meant to be a parody of the terrible balancing in the sucky games of topic, which is why the debug keys are left enabled.

I suppose that's true, but that doesn't make it any more fun.
