OK. You know the drill by now. Select games you want to play, etc etc.

It's for Monday, the 7th of July. 10PM. That date again, Monday, 7th July. 10PM.

The 7th. Of July. It's a Monday, you know. I hear something is happening at 10PM.

Gngh. So far out of all three polls I've only owned one game and I don't particularly want to play it (Gears).

The ugvm mob are suggesting Texas Hold 'Em for one of our beex vs ugvm nights. Is it good?

It's poker without money, but with cameras. Expect maximum gurnage.

I don't have most of those, so I'll be sitting this one out, as I'm trying to avoid buying things at the moment. The last few of these nights have been great fun though, so I'd heartily advise anyone with the requisite games to get in on some Bezzie action.

The Gaywood, do feel free to suggest games you *do* have!

I'm not picking these games entirely at random, btw, I've been PMing people and taking votes - I don't own all the games in the list either but I'll buy stuff that's needed to Mother - which is why I'm only adding "cheap" games and stuff I have a decent chance of getting hold of.

This poll is very similar to the last as a fair few people mentioned they'd like to be able to play more than one of them, so I just left out the game we just played and added in a "favourite" and a "newbie".

Anyone's free to suggest stuff, that's how PDZ ended up on the list; but I hold final say over what goes on in a certain poll. Perks of the job, like ;)

Without money at stake, I can't imagine THE is much fun. It's a pretty boring game when you strip the risk away from it.

Or more accurately, leaving the other poll option there, even after it had requested to be removed but banning anyone who votes for it. or even tries to play it offline.

Current winners...

1st Place - Sega Rally
2nd Place - Ridge Race 6, Texas Hold' Em
3rd Place - Gears of War

Looks like Sega Rally is pulling ahead, though.

I'm all for any of those really, although Sega Rally would be extremely fun (And I'm not actually tooo bad at it but I haven't played it for months now)

theres been a fair bit interest in THE in both polls even if it loses can we sort out a time to have a game?

Sega Rally it is!

Please note : 6 player max to a room, so be on time ;)

If anyone doesn't make the room I'll make sure to message you so you can either be Standby or if there's enough start another game.

PGR4 was lightyears ahead of 3, but I've traded that in now as I'd gone as far as I wanted to in singleplayer and no one else seemed to have it.

You just hate Forza because you're shit at it. :P

Ive only played it for half an hour but it seems pretty good Ive enjoyed it more than the PGR4 demo.

You are incorrect :)

Most of PGR3's problems relate to the car selection and slightly stupid game progression.

As a cheap online proposition it's excellent.

Post subject:  Re: Obscure Night Poll III
We'll have to agree to disagree. I've played all four PGR games fairly extensively, and 3 is the worst (IMO).
Author:  Dudley [ Sun Jul 06, 2008 21:39 ]
Post subject:  Re: Obscure Night Poll III
It is.

That's not what you said.

If you can get PGR4 for £3 to bezzie with, or have a copy of 1 and 2 that work with the 360 and look like 3 then it'd be different. But for obscure bezzing PGR3 isn't far off the other 3 (apart from being less compatible with the online ladder game) and is very very cheap.

Ok, fair enough point. Personally, I couldn't go back to it after PGR4, though.

Yep, I've already mentioned this, but apparently having gurning a la UNO makes up for it. :P

Sega Rally: 48 points. Minimum number of people required to vote for it, in order for it to gain that many points: 12.

Number of people who actually turned up? 3.

BETEO: At least 25% not shit!

Well, we'd more like to know who actually did vote for it and didn't play. Next vote should have a huge red sign saying "If you're not going to play, don't vote" because there's now been two times a game has been voted for by people who obviously weren't going to play.

And seriously, what is your problem? You spend ages whinging about how everyone is going to play Burnout rather than Sega Rally, and then when invited, you turn it down.

Post subject:  Re: Obscure Night Poll III
I think next poll I'll just have people PM me their post scores and keep manual track. Then I'll know exactly who voted for what and who to kill for not showing up.

<stern voice> Not only does it feck with the voting if you don't show up to a game you voted for because you didn't really want to play it, it means that people might go waste money on a game that isn't going to get played properly because not enough people show up. It also wastes the time of the people that *do* show up. </stern voice>

Post subject:  Re: Obscure Night Poll III
Can't we repurpose the Mafiascum vote counting thingummy?

So instead of a poll, you have to actually post what you want to play?

Admittedly, it would require a single vote, rather than the 4 differently weighted ones.
