Project of the Month

[Reives]

I just don't really agree with the Idea the a POTM winner could just choose their friend's game instead of one that is truly POTM material

On the contrary, I believe even more of the "choosing friend's game" would be the case for voting. Voting, as anonymously implemented, gives no actual pressure in the outcome on an identifiable individual. Hence, people are completely free to choose without discrimination of any kind; which allows the tempting choice of friends; or socially well-known individuals among the forum. 

On the other hand, when choosen by one person, it is publicly known that the choice is presented by the individual; hence it is heavily subconsciously questioned whether the choice is viable material or not. Under such public pressure, the individual is forced to choose one that upstands to the quality.

However, there are certain major flaws in the choice of one person as well. But in most cases, they are matched with the same sides to that of voting's (e.g. genre discrimination; RPG community = RPG oriented). But none the less, I believe that the following month's choice is an obvious one in terms of cross-genre comparison judging  by the work put to it and its presentation as a whole.

[alexia]

Thanks ShoSho for nominating my game. And thank you to everyone else for playing it. I hope you enjoy it!

[modern algebra]

Grr... I hate knowing who the winner is for a week before I'm allowed to post it...

Anyway, you guys will like this one for sure. Alexia made an excellent choice.

Why am I posting this? I need to exercise more self control

[Irock]

Eye Of The Tiger...it must be.

I'll begin writing my victory speech.

[modern algebra]

lol, I think we might have to run out of projects first 

[serpentslayer]

:O

Whatever could it be?!?

*Awaits with baited breath*

[Arrow]

Um, I may be a bit late, but generally the way you solve the problem of a supposed tie is selecting an ODD number of people. Like nine. Or eleven. Perhaps, if I'm not overstepping my boundaries here, I could even suggest thirteen?

[Zeriab]

What if it is a three-way tie !_!

[modern algebra]

And the winner for August is:

Forlorn Manor, by Anaryu

An excellent choice by alexia. I love this game personally, though I haven't actually beaten it yet

[SirJackRex]

What if it is a three-way tie !_!

Yeah, three people it probably best. Then you can't have ties.

[modern algebra]

I kind of forget what everyone's talking about, but there can easily be a tie between three people. If they each select different projects for instance.

Anyways, if you are wondering why Forlorn Manor isn't stickied yet... Out of force of habit, I PMed Nouman without remembering he was on vacation. Will PM someone else now.

Everyone congratulate Anaryu for his excellent game! 

[SirJackRex]

Oh, yeah...forgot...anyway, just find a tie breaker, and keep finding another tie breaker, until you break the tie. (If needed)

[Karo Rushe]

What is September's Project of the Month if I may ask?

[modern algebra]

Ah, sorry, I lost internet for the past week. I was going to put up a poll up with Anaryu's selections, but since there is no time, I will put up the one that Anaryu seemed to like the most of his poll options, Cell Chamber. Everybody congratulate Calibre on a fine project.

[Calibre]

Thanks guys, and thanks Anaryu... it is a nice feeling to know the game-making greats recognise your work!
