Need to re-poll every Codex RPG GOTY survey!

[asfasdf]

So the whole thing is a fraud, what a surprise.

 

[Corvinus]

Every day I'm more convinced that part of the Codex hates Disco Elysium because they simply can't read.

I haven't played Disco Elysium and nor do I care about it. This is about dishonest handling of the GOTY polls. Removing votes because of some arbitrary reasoning?

How would you like it if you went to vote and those in charge of counting the votes removed yours because they didn't like the style of handwriting? Or "those who vote for party X are commies, let's just put those votes in the dustbin right away"? Either all votes count or none.

Visual novels aren't rpgs.

 

[luj1]

At least we learned that the poll is not valid if it doesn't have Dark Souls or genuine RPGs such as Mystery Sailor X: Rise of the Pink Princess

 

[Lady_Error]

Visual novels aren't rpgs.

How do you even know what people are talking about when you ignore 459 people?

Do you click on “Show ignored messages“ on every single page?

LOL @Tranny Failure speaking as if he's the biggest free speech advocate while he keeps his own little safe space without violent opinions like being called a tranny.

I think it would be interesting to have a new poll where you'd vote for the best game in each year between 2010 and 2019 (as opposed to the whole decade at once - although 2020 is a natural year for such a poll to happen). I loved Pathfinder and ATOM RPG, for example, but at the time when the polling happened, I hadn't tried them yet. I understand the value of GOTY polls because they help publicise certain games at an early stage and they are a reasonable sample of the tastes, but few people play the most recent stuff when the backlog is so long and the new stuff is so buggy until patched.

Poll was open to anyone, its not representative of anything by default . Anyone could vote , i'd just use tor browser get as many Ip i want , vote several time giving 4-5/5 on the game i prefer . Of course i give average to bad to everything else randomly . Maybe i did who knows...
I am sure they dont bother to restrict it to registered users not only by lazyness but rather cause it was intended to promote that game no matter the result. They arbitrary put games in the jrpg section, but suddenly an adventure game is nominated as best rpg of the year , of course they got a little bit of that marketing budget . Even if cornered with the evidence , they 'll just name it best of the year "editor choice" . They already did that for ubisoft 's Might and magic X .

 

[Corvinus]

It does look very suspicious. Not that I expected a high standard to begin with, but still... Money can be made in other ways.

 

[felipepepe]

In the many years I've done this, I've had many real arguments with a lot of people about the methodology. Which is why it's really easy to see none of you really care, know what you're talking about or will ever do anything about it. Go bleed your butthurt somewhere else.

 

[King Crispy]

Crispy knows but can't say anything so he acts ignorant.

 

[Jenkem]

he puts it on google w/ no ip check and then sends it out to his friends on resetera and twitter

lots of foreign meddling

 

[Corvinus]

Since my post above was awarded the NPC rating instead of taking it seriously, it is now established that:

1.) The polls really were tampered with to create a "desired" result.

2.) felipepepe and friends defend corruption.

3.) Accusing others of being butthurt when it is apparent that it is the other way around doesn't help your cause.

As I asked earlier; How would you feel if someone secretly erased your vote because of some arbitrary reason? Does such a "methodology" seem fair to you?

 

[luj1]

Corvinus It doesn't surprise me because I knew he was a shill but how exactly were the results altered?

 

[Mortmal]

Crispy is burning to tell us something, does those doritos have a sour aftertaste ?

 

[Corvinus]

Corvinus It doesn't surprise me because I knew he was a shill but how exactly were the results altered?

Well, I couldn't answer. I hope I'm wrong and they weren't. But since the question whether the arbitrary removal of votes is fair or not remains brushed aside and unanswered... And the butthurt was palpable right away... Who knows?

What prevents someone to strike a deal with a publisher or developer and give them the top awards for a slice of the profits? Similar things has happened before. Just have a gander at this wonderful creature, who didn't do nothing.

 

[Bester]

Do it, can't wait to see the amazing polls done by people who can't even read properly.

But we all know we won't see anything, you're all too lazy to even try.

Btw since I cant read aswell, how is the filter system applied?
1: A vote that is only Disco Elysium 1/5, no other games rated, is filtered
2: Every subvote that votes Disco Elysium 1/5, even if other games are rated higher in the same vote, has the 1/5 filtered from it and stays otherwise intact.

Just for the record so I might remember to vote bad games 2/5 instead of 1/5 next GOTY round.

The rules has always been "obvious trolls will be deleted".

Obvious trolls include:
- Voting on every game
- Voting on one of the fake games I add to every poll
- Series of similar votes on a fixed time interval
- Voting 1/5 on every game
- Voting 1/5 on a single game (and not voting on anything else)
- Voting 1/5 on every game EXCEPT the one you're fanboying
- Voting 5/5 on every game
- Voting 5/5 on every game EXCEPT the one you hate
- And so on...

And yeah, I reserve the right to decide what's 'obvious trolling'. If you don't like it, the full votes are posted every time, do your own results. Or just do your own poll.

I think they're just trolling you, and you're falling for it. Your polls are just fine.

And you shouldn't have made the method public, because now they'll rate some games 2/5 and Disco Elysium will still get a troll's 1/5.

Now how are you gonna detect them? We're fucked now, buddy.

Sad to hear that my vote didnt count. Now i know how it feels to live in a shithole.
But what should i have expected about democratic virtues on the dex!?

Genosse felipepepe is simply doing his duty as a ZA/UM vanguardist, Red Panda.

 

[Sigourn]

We need a poll that shows the Codex's opinion on every top 101 game.
I'm pretty sure the top games being so highly rated and also being some of the most casual games in the entire list is no coincidence (if I can play it and enjoy it then it's casual).

 

[felipepepe]

And you shouldn't have made the method public, because now they'll rate some games 2/5 and Disco Elysium will still get a troll's 1/5.

This has been public since 2014, there's nothing new here. And we won't be voting Disco Elysium again this way.

 

[Nano]

This still doesn't explain how Dragon Age: Origins won.

GOTY polls back then literally used the thread poll feature. DAO had the most votes.

 

[Zed]

The 2020 GOTY will be handled by mail-in ballots to DU in Australia. Because of his recent homophobic news article, the Codex will make amends by mailing the results to Jaesun in the US so he can apply a Gay 100% point bonus to a game of his choice. We expect this to be Baldur's Gate 3. The results are thereafter mailed to felipe in Japan so he can sort out troll votes according to his own discretion (we will pretend this doesn't happen) -- if there are any complaints at all, even a single post, the entire process will begin anew.

Results are expected around winter 2034.

The codex has shit tastes, that should surprise nobody.
