Well, I think I've gotten about as much feedback as I am going to regarding the next season, so I have decided on what we will be doing: Voting on the games that will be played for a set schedule next season. Sort of the best of both worlds, where you get some say in what's going to happen, but everyone will have the benefit of knowing what's coming later in the season.

With that, I have started a poll with all of the "obtainable" cartridge games that shouldn't be too terribly expensive (Atari Karts is the exception here). No CD releases or Telegames/Songbird releases have been listed in the main poll either due to the inconsistency in players actually owning those. As usual, I am trying to keep things on as an even key as possible, so with that, choose 12 games you want to play the most. No more, and preferrably no less!

I will give people a week or two to decide (I'm aiming for a week, so please vote quickly if you can), then afterwards I will start a new poll where we choose what game modes, tables, tracks, and more to be played on each game. If you have any other questions or comments, just slap them below as usual.

*EDIT 11/13/2011: The poll is now closed. These will be the games played for this next season. I will be making a new poll thread to see what modes you guys want to play in each round:

Tempest 2000 (14 votes [7.04%])
Raiden (13 votes [6.53%])
Atari Karts (13 votes [6.53%])
Super Burnout (12 votes [6.03%])
Missile Command 3D (11 votes [5.53%])
Zool 2 (11 votes [5.53%])
Pinball Fantasies (10 votes [5.03%])
Ruiner Pinball (10 votes [5.03%])
Defender 2000 (9 votes [4.52%])
Bubsy in Fractured Furry Tales (9 votes [4.52%])
Evolution: Dino Dudes (9 votes [4.52%])
Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure (8 votes [4.02%]

Come on Checkered Flag.

I hope Defender 2K gets up there. Just picked it up and would like to play it competitively.

A little saddened that I-War gets no love. This will be the third season (since I've been doing this, anyway) that it hasn't been played. Ah well, can't win 'em all, I suppose.

I just went ahead and voted for every game I own thats up there.

Voted. I'm ready for another epic Super Burnout battle

Likewise! I wasn't able to participate in Super Burnout last season due to emulation issues and ended up missing out on the last one. I'm looking forward to participating in the battle this time around.

I am going to let this continue for a couple of more days at the most. Afterwards I will start a thread asking everyone to choose what gameplay modes will be played in each game (for ones that have changeable options anyway).

Based on the current results, these are the games that are most-likely to be played next season. That is, minus one of the ones that has 8 votes on it (I listed the top 13)--I will be picking which one to axe if the standings don't change.

That's a solid lineup. There are a few games in there that aren't the usual suspects and looks like I would only have to track down a couple of games to be able to participate in the whole season.

Trevor McFur will probably get the axe. I want to play Defender 2000, and DoctorClu will probably kill me if I remove Bubsy.

That is, unless you guys want a 13 round season this time? I suppose an extra two weeks doesn't make that big of a difference. Let me know.

[Austin]

Poll is finished! Will start a new poll for choosing game modes shortly.
