1, 3, 6

[Holden Caulfield]

[Toa Levacius Zehvor]

Classified.

Hmm... it's fairly close to my predictions based on a composition of who players seemed to favor most towards the beginning and all of that other stuff composed together. Or, at least, it might be, if I had actually made that chart.

Good luck to all of the other finalists.

But, *ahem*, I must first extol the virtues of LMTD... in case anybody were to forget during this contest.

> Good background story (stars fall, everyone dies)
> Fully constructed subterranean civilization
> Developed but still highly malleable setting
> Clearly defined antagonist, so that all players experienced and new can choose to combat an obvious threat
> Advanced system to ensure that characters roleplaying actions have an effect
> Beautiful map complete with Bionicle measurement systems to prevent players from searching BS01 frequently, and that indicates necessary information but leaving the finer details up to the individuals imagination.
> Very little outside of the realms of common sense and following the canon to prevent players from creating characters customized to their own interests.
> Alternatives have been provided that allow players seeking more influence over the world to create their own pre-existing factions of NPCs at their control, or to create ones during gameplay along with other characters.
> Gameplay is focused on the individual characters moreso than the world at large, making the player character the most important element to it, and providing a strong focus on character development and interaction with the world.
> Rather than being cliche and following the grey vs. grey morality structure so many RPGs would prefer to exhibit, this RPG goes against the standards of its time and reintroduces the ancient art of white vs. black morality, to mimic settings of epic scale within the confines of small tunnels.

Okay, I'm done with my shameless advertising. Carry on. And good luck. Again.

[Lord of Adders Black]

[Kal the Guardian]

I had a really hard time choosing, but in the end I went with 1 (VOTE4:KaL!), 3, and 8.

[Ilyusha Blokfase]

...

You are dead to me, Kal.

...

You are dead to me, Kal.

And you're dead to me, Grochi. Let's just have a being dead to everyone else party! We'll all lay on the floor and pretend to be dead.

-Toa Levacius Zehvor

[Delta Titan Sparta]

Would kicking said people be okay?
Anyway, I voted for 1, 2, and 7.

[Kal the Guardian]

Sorry, fellow Kal, but I had to vote for the RPGs I wanted to play the most. If you just voted for me because I too am a Kal, then you're dead to me.

[Cosmic Titan]

I voted for 1, 2 and 3.

[BenLuke]

Guysguysguys, vote for Testing Conflict, 'cuz I'll be assistant GMing.

/shamelessplugfailure

[Dreadheart]

1, 3, and 8.

(Sorry Hubert. And Grochi. Sorry Grochi.)

[Flex Fiction]

I did 1,2, 4, but that was a while ago.

[Burnmad: Toa of Emoticons]

1, 3 and 4.

[Dallas Winston]

Five was easily the most original take on this concept, so that was the only one I voted for.

-Teezy

[Kal the Guardian]

Whoa, Grochi, I see you have some friends all of the sudden.

And I must say I did not expect my RPG to be in first place for most of the contest.

[Mr. Peanuts]

2 and 5.

[Ilyusha Blokfase]

Whoa, Grochi, I see you have some friends all of the sudden.

And I must say I did not expect my RPG to be in first place for most of the contest.

I was confused as well, believe you me.

[Iron Voltex]

Hey everyone there's tis RPG you know
And it's called The Dark and The Dead
It's really awesome
Vote for it

-ibrow

[Jedi Knight Krazy]

I voted for 1, 5, and 8.

Although I have to say, it was 1 that grabbed my interest the most. It has a unique, colorful environment; the theme of "everyone's crazy" instantly gave me ideas of what kind of characters I wanted, and most importantly to me, there's something going on, while most of the others (with the exception of 8) seemed more like "hey, you're in a cave, have fun".

[Grantaire]

Hey, i just realized that if Testing Conflict somehow gets four votes without 2 or 3 getting any there will be a three wat tie for third. Not that that'll happen, but it'd be cool.

[Ilyusha Blokfase]

Hey wait.

Not only did I name one of the RPGs running this time...

But two.

I feel achieved.

[Kal the Guardian]

It feels weird not having to bribe people with cookies to get third. *shivers* But yeah let's vote in Testing Conflict! Or just give the Light Meets the Dark one more vote, you know, I'm not too picky.

[Lord of Adders Black]

1 just felt...schizophrenic to me. Like it was trying to do everything at once and all lacquered over with this sense of enforced quirkiness (the worst kind of quirkiness) which just jarred with me

[Emzee]

I voted for entries 1, 3, and 5.

I like the ideas given in the first entry, but I appreciate that entries 3 and 5 also looked like they'd be fun without being overwhelming. Of course, this is coming from someone who will likely not have time to play any of them, but if I did then those would be the ones I'd check out first.

[Toa Levacius Zehvor]

Well for a moment there the tie was broken.

B6 is patiently awaiting the moment he gets to use the hat.

-Toa Levacius Zehvor

[Kal the Guardian]

It appears that hat will be used after all.

[Ilyusha Blokfase]

The hat should be fun.

[Kal the Guardian]

The hat knows all.
