How THE OFFICIAL POLL works:
As Rob wrote:DJI makes this thread, people post their vote in this thread, DJI tallies the votes.
How to vote in THE OFFICIAL POLL:
As Rob would have wrote:1. post vote in thread
2. post before Monday 10:59am GMT (switch board clock in profile)
Follow only these directions exactly and you will have voted correctly. No need to pay attention to anything else.
If you feel like learning more about the unneeded unused unofficial poll or other voting safeguards in-place, the details are in the fine print at the bottom of this post.

*NEW* If you wish for your vote to remain unseen by others, you now have the option to PM your vote to username STGT instead of posting it in this thread.
This is known as a private vote.
To cast your vote, please put the game you are voting for IN THE SUBJECT LINE. I will include these votes with the public votes in the final results. I'll printscreen proof of all sent votes. I count only what I see in the inbox. If the inbox is filled or your vote did not submit successfully to user STGT for any reason, it will not be counted.

If you don't feel like switching your board clock, use this GMT timepiece:
http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/
I will be using this clock to determine when it becomes GMT Monday morning to end the poll.

Please remember, unlike in player registration, nobody can cast public or private votes in the name of other members.


Your selections for Famous Manic Week are the following:

Battle Garegga

Image
Medals & Rank. Do not even run this game without studying the strategy section.


GigaWing

Image
Screens overflowing with medals. Hold shot button to trigger a several-second reflect shield. Run into the biggest clumps of bullets you can...


Strikers 1945 II

Image
Random first four stages, lotta ships to choose, and timing your medal pickups on the blink.


GunNail

Image
...
...
"""Proto-DonPachi?"""
Bees replaced by medals. Bullet clumps replaced by fast bullets. Chaining replaced by suicide to the end of your shield bar. half-speed beam-autofire & character select replaced by weapon pickups...
...
...
dude, I know...


Dangun Feveron

Image
Choose a fire spread (3). Choose a special weapon (3). Choose a ship speed (4). Choose to hold your fire button to fire the (usually) weaker special weapon. Choose a “full auto” option. Choose to rescue prisoner spheres from destroyed enemies for raising the “scoring number” (a fixed value from destroying regular enemies). Choose killing enemies faster to release more blue spheres. Choose no-missing blue spheres to continually increase the “scoring number” by 1. Choose to let a sphere bounce from the bottom and collect before it disappears at the top of the screen. Choose to call it a “bouncing medaling system” instead of a falling medaling system. Choose “”popular”” 70’s disco music. Choose a hidden character. Choose dissecting a boss piece-by-piece. Choose to call the game Fever SOS. Choose to use bombs and freeze the spheres before they leave the screen. Choose rotting away at the end of your spare lives, embarrassed and knowing you couldn’t complete a mere 5 stages.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------

As long as these instructions below do not confuse you with the instructions left for you to follow above, here are all the fine print additional voting rules in place to serve more as "future week-long controversy insurance" or more accurately, "In-Case Shit"

-A vote is a singular item from which you may cast once and only once via posting your choice in this thread. If you fail to cast your vote properly by breaking the rules below, it becomes a disqualified vote, forbidding you to cast again for this week. Therefore you may not disqualify your vote in the name of creating a second fresh vote.
-Only people assigned to a team on the first page of STGT 2k7 will have their votes counted.
-Even if you didn't play in a previous week, if your name is assigned to a team, you can still vote.
-If you post your vote and then edit your post, your vote is disqualified.
-If you post ANYTHING in this thread (vote or no vote) and edit that post; if you posted a vote in a later post it will still be disqualified. (an exception will be made if the person who voted claims in his voting post that he did not in-fact post his vote in his earlier edited post. Another forum member must defend this claim, which will be accepted as proof [if it passes my judgement])
-If you post your vote and then post another vote again later on, I will only use your first vote.
-If you post your vote, post another vote later, then edit or remove your first vote post and I/we catch it, your vote is disqualified and other people should point and laugh at you.
-If you post your vote, but forget to specify any required additional detail where needed (course selections, etc), make another post with the rest of your information from which you still needed to vote on. Just don't edit either post or you'll break the rules above.
-..so basically, be careful and certain when posting here 8)
*NEW* -Before disqualifying a vote that technically breaks the rules above, I will evaluate the post and date of edit for context. If I feel the change was an honest correction and not close enough to deadline to affect final tallies, I reserve the right to include that vote in the final tally.

-To stop any chances of confusion for team voting, I ask that only Individual posted votes will be counted. Nobody can 'delegate' their vote to another team member or post their vote in the name of another team member. Obviously you may pm within your team as much as you want so you all can agree which choice to go for, but all 5-7 votes from a team will not count unless I see an individual post from every team member.

THE UNOFFICIAL VOTE with the typical polling above is just for fun. I threw it there to "keep things exciting" and to keep people in-the-know what game they are going to have to acquire and get running ahead of time. The unofficial vote up-top will have no bearing on which game wins the vote.

I will advise during the poll on where the unofficial poll is terribly inaccurate, however, official results will never be released until the end of the vote.

The Tiebreaker Clause:
The poll is scheduled to end at 10:59am Monday GMT. It officially ends when I or Edge post saying the poll is over. In the event at the time of the deadline that I detect a tie between the two leading candidates OR a candidate is leading by a single vote, I will extend the voting period by two hours to leave enough time for people who have not voted yet to cast and widen the gap between the two leading game picks. Note that this is not a runoff between the two top choices. If, in-fact other game picks have close numbers with the top two choices, as long as the lesser game picks can overtake the top game choice by two votes in two hours, they too have the same chance of winning the entire poll.
After this second voting deadline has been reached, if there is still a tie or a single vote difference between the two leading game picks at the time, another two-hour extension on the voting deadline will occur.
However,
1. This time, members in teams with players that still haven't voted may cast the vote(s) on behalf of the players who didn't vote. Players who utilize this must specify the absent player he is casting the vote for in the same post as what he decided his additional vote will be.
2. This time period WILL become a run-off between ONLY the top two choices upon initiation of the second two-hour extension.
After the third and final voting deadline has been met, if there is still a voting lead of a single vote, the chosen game still wins. If there is still a tie, Edge gets to pick the winner between the two games in question.

Actually, I believe the question should be...

Will the PS1 Strikers 1945 II, Saturn Battle Garegga, and Dreamcast Giga Wing be usable?

I promised to vote for Giga Wing, and I never break a promise unless it's convenient or it hurts a small child. So, Giga Wing it is.

BTW, doesn't the DC version score higher than the arcade version? So it probably shouldn't be allowed.
