How the hell has this ended at -2!?

Well, it’s not over yet. Three levels still need to go!

My bad! Didn’t mean to do that :sweat_smile:

Anyway, Prior that round, I never expect Landslide to be downvoted so quickly… like a landslide…

I realise @thefixer47 means well - because they’ve tried to take on board my earlier comments and are choosing to only vote on WoA maps - but this ā€˜Landslide landslide’ is largely due to their -10 downvotes from each of their past 5 votes.

@thefixer47 I do genuinely appreciate that you’re trying not to influence the fate of other levels from the games you haven’t played. Thank you for being considerate in this regard.

But it does further illustrate my point that, if someone has only played WoA, there really is no way for them to vote which doesn’t impact the whole board.

Landslide is now on the cusp of elimination when, just a short time ago, it looked secure. Anathema may well survive as a result. This shift came mostly at the hand of someone who can’t to compare Landslide & Anathema, having never experienced the latter.

As a result, I stand by my opinion that it only really makes sense to participate in rounds of this game when you’ve played all of the levels on the board (or, at least, the vast majority of them) for yourself.

I would relax this principle for the final, however, because that’s more of a ā€˜winner takes all’ format. I wouldn’t object as much to someone championing their favourite WoA map against all others.

To be clear, as before, I’m not calling for new rules to be imposed or anything like that. I know everyone is free to participate in the game as frequently as they desire. I’m simply giving my perspective!

As much as I agree with the rest of your post, I don’t think the manner you brought Anathema into this discussion was completely fair. Taking into consideration that Anathema has been constantly downvoted since the beginning of this round, Anathema has managed to survive not as a result of @thefixer47 massively downvoting Landslide, but as a result of constant support from other people upvoting it.

It is true, however, that @thefixer47 has acted like a catalyst, making this whole endurance race for Anathema fans much easier at the end, but your post made it look like it was the only decisive factor when it clearly wasn’t.

Yeah, I tend to agree. I’ve played my own part in Anathema’s survival my upvoting it myself. I don’t mind too much whichever way this goes, as I like both levels but can also see reasons why it’s not a great shame if either of them are eliminated either.

I’ll send you a letter instead of an email next time then, accompanied by flowers as a sign of apology. However, my postman is currently busy at Villa Borghese, so you will make do with another email this time. :stuck_out_tongue:

I usually don’t play right at midnight, but considering I’m still here at the moment, why not?
