If you guys are up for making a top 50 or top 100 list, here's my proposed method – this is based on voting rules that I've seen work on a Simpsons fan site when ranking the top 50 episodes from The Simpsons 500+ episodes. Here's how the voting could work:
• Each member creates and submits a top 25 list (if we want a top 50) or a top 50 list (if we want a top 100)
• For scoring, each game that appears on a list scored 25 points for a #1 rank (as best ever), 24 pts for #2, 23 points for #3... All the way down to 1 pt for 25th place. And, of course, all unranked games would score zero points for that list.
• Highest base point total wins, with the tie-breaker being the number of lists a game appeared on. The double-tie breaker goes to the episode with the higher individual ranking on any of the lists.
If you all have thoughts on the method, or have your own methods please let me know. I'm not 100% certain this could work, but its worth a shot. Once we have a decided method, I can start a new thread and get things going. It will likely take a while to gather all the lists, and ideally we would get a lot of lists. So it might involve a bit of campaigning for new members to join the forums to share their list.
