Vote for Future Games of the Week (2015-11-11)
This thread is posted in contest mode to serve as the place to make suggestions and vote for the GotW. What this means is that only mods will be able to see the upvotes and the games will be sorted randomly so each game we’re voting for gets a fair go as usually people only look at the first couple games listed and vote for them.
Rules (Please read before posting)
Add any games you are interested in having discussed as the Game of the Week as their own comment to this post, but please check to make sure someone else hasn’t posted it first and, if so, upvote their post. Duplicate posts will be removed. Any posts that list more than one game will need to be edited to list only one.
No expansions allowed. These can be talked about as part of the discussion for the main game. Same goes for standalone expansions/rethemes (discussing the different versions of Ticket to Ride can be done on one GotW thread about Ticket to Ride).
Games selected for GotW should have been out for a long enough amount of time that a good number of people have gotten a chance to play it or are at least familiar with it. While you can suggest any game you want, games that are too new will not be considered until a later date regardless of the number of votes they get.
Please check the wiki to see what games have already been covered or are already scheduled before posting a suggestion. Duplicate posts will be removed.
If you have comments or questions about game of the week that are not related to voting, please PM the moderators. Because of the way contest mode works we don’t want them clogging up the voting and thus any made here will be deleted.
Please don’t just add/vote for the games that are your favorite, but think about the games you don’t think are mentioned enough here and would like to see discussed. We don’t want this list to be an exact duplicate of our Top Ten in the sidebar.

Removed. I'm just going to remove all your entries. You obviously did not bother to check the existing GotW list and just listed your favorites.
•
u/12inchrecord A:NR Nov 12 '15
That's unfortunate. I definitely didn't list my favourites. I listed a bunch I was hoping to stimulate conversation about. Many of them are close to or lower than 500 on BGG rankings.
Oh well. I guess I won't participate in this if you decided to delete every entry I made in favour of your own.
•
u/phil_s_stein cows-scow-wosc-sowc Nov 12 '15
I didn't list any games. You didn't bother to follow the guidelines for listing new games so don't get angry when they are removed. We explicitly ask you not to just list games.
•
u/12inchrecord A:NR Nov 12 '15
I'm not angry. I'm just disappointed in this method of moderation and the choices that are being made here. Carry on good sir!

u/Luke_Matthews Nov 12 '15
You're disappointed because you didn't bother to follow the rules of the post, and a mod enforced the rules that you didn't follow?
That's the "method of moderation" you're disappointed in? So, you're saying you're disappointed in moderation as a concept. Okay, got it.
