So I totally forgot to announce this here. My bad!
Because of this, I will be extending the voting period. Get those votes in by May 28th.

Here we go again people.

First, here is the previous Top 30 List for reference:
http://www.jsh.illuminative.org/top_30/top30summer08.html

In order to make the list as COOL as possible, it's nice to get some comments from voters. Please, if you would, submit:
1) Something you like about the game
2) A short reason for why you chose it
3) A poem (haiku) or other short creative work
4) A screenshot of your favorite part of the game
5) A personal experience you had with the game that seems worth mentioning
6) Anything else appropriate
This is OPTIONAL, but it really makes the list look good, so do it if you have the time. The best comments will be published, and there usually isn't much competition so do submit, ok?

BONUS QUESTION: Vote for the five best uses of battles in OHR games.

Rules:
1. Vote for your five-fifteen favorite OHR games/movies/whatever. Lowest number = highest on your favorite list.
2. You may NOT vote for your own game(s). This is an experimental rule. I know it sucks, but deal with it.
3. You may not vote for unreleased games. Demos are fine, though.
4. You may not vote twice, including by altnick.
5. You must be an active member of the community in order to vote. In other words, if you just registered and voted your vote will be ignored. This is done to prevent rigging. If you're an old vet coming back to vote, that's fine.
6. Type out the entire name, just in case I don't know what the acronym is.
7. Airship 2600 is banned from this list. Sorry, it's just too good. Additionally, any other vaporware games shouldn't be voted for.
8. Vote for individual games, not entire series. (OHR House, Pitch Black, etc)
9. ALL VOTES ARE TO BE SUBMITTED BY PRIVATE MESSAGES (Slime Salad, Castle Paradox only). Do not post your votes on the message board topic, but feel free to discuss games or the poll.

Some general guidelines:
1. No one cares what you vote for, so don't feel compelled to vote 'in the community's eyes' or for games that you think are good but don't actually like. I want this list to reflect the personal preferences of real OHR users; i.e. I want it to be largely subjective.

How scoring works:
Your number 1 choice gets the most points. The higher the number, the fewer the points. In addition, the number of users who actually voted for the game is taken into account.

I'll post an example vote soon.

Deadline: around MAY 28, 2008.

14 votes? How does that compare to previous polls?

Am I the only person wishing they could vote for 20 games? I think it's at the bottom of the list that I make the interesting choices. Maybe that is a bit unreasonable; and 15 is already so much better than 10.

It's a lower turnout than usual. James voted after the deadline, making it 15 (and changing the winner)

TMC, most people only vote for 5-8 games, so I don't see any point in expanding it past 15.
