GB GOTY Ranking Wager

So this idea is stolen from the /Filmcast where they do something called "Summer Movie Wager" where they try to guess the top 10 highest grossing movie of the summer, usually from around May to end of August/beginning of September.

The game is to guess their top 10 GOTY in order.

Make an ordered list of what you think GB's Top 10 GOTY 2019 will be and 3 dark horse picks.

Hear is the scoring system:

• Getting number 1 or number 10 dead-on gets you 13 points (each)
• 10 points for numbers 2-9 dead-on
• 7 points if your pick was only one spot away from where it ended up
• 5 points if it was two spots away
• 3 points if your pick is anywhere in the Top 10
• 1 point for each dark horse that makes it into the Top 10

The scoring is tabulated so that you get the SINGLE HIGHEST point value for each pick - that is, if you get number ten right, you don’t get 13+3, you only get 13.

You can edit as much as you want cuz it's just for funzies but I'll screencap when GOTY starts and any ones posted after Day 1 must not be edited to count.

Here is my guess:

1. Bloodstained (3 points)
2. Control (10 points)
3. Resident Evil 2 (5 points)
4. The Outer Worlds (0 points)
5. Apex Legends (5 points)
6. CoD: Modern Warfare (5 points)
7. Mortal Combat 11 (3 points)
8. Luigi's Mansion 3 (0 points)
9. Fire Emblem: Three Houses (0 points)
10. Outer Wilds (3 points)

and dark horses

1. Kingdom Hearts 3
2. Pokemon Sword & Shield
3. Super Mario Maker 2

My Score: 34 :'(

No editing allowed imo

@49th: idk what the right way to it is. so much of the guess work is based on the conversations and the tone of it on the podcasts and there are many more podcasts before GOTY. So I’ll probably screen cap the lists when GOTY starts and any edited ones will be calculated from that. Ppl can still make their lists after that but I’ll only count the ones that aren’t edited. Sound fair enough?

@liquiddragon: Hey didn't fobwashed do something similar last year in a similar detail called "Fnatasy GOTY"? Either way I'll throw my guess as to what I think the top 10 will look like. The Dark Horses portion is a nice little touch to this game too!

1. The Outer Worlds
2. Control
3. RE2 Remake
4. Apex Legends
5. Bloodstained
6. Tetris 99
7. Outer Wilds
8. COD: Modern Warfare
9. Luigi's Mansion 3
10. Heave Ho

Dark Horses:

1. Super Mario Maker 2
2. Baba is You
3. Fire Emblem 3 Houses

@mocbucket62: oh really? I have no recollection of that...sry about that.

@liquiddragon: Hey it’s all good! It’s fun to still do this anyways. And also your system is pretty different to his that this thread can stand on its own. I want to say his system would give points to those guessing games of guest lists too, or people would get additional points for having games they’d post in their lists appear on guest lists. You have a unique system for GB’s list and the dark horse factor adds something different to the game. You have a neat game organized here!

Yeah, this was Fobwashed's thing from last year. It was pretty involved. I think I might wait until Star Wars is out to actually come up with a list.

@mocbucket62: ah, now that you describe it, totally remember something like that. haha Well, hopefully ppl join in. It'll be fun to see how wrong most of us. :D

1. MK11
2. Apex Legends
3. Control
4. Baba is You
5. Outer Worlds
6. DMC 5
7. Bloodstained
8. RE2 Remake
9. Outer Wilds
10. Disco Elysium

Dark Horses:

• Heave Ho
• Hunt Showdown
• Hypnospace Outlaw

10. Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Dark Horses:

1. Pokemon Sword & Shield
2. Ring Fit Adventure

I honestly think recency bias will push CoD on top of Apex Legends, but Apex will still retain a top ten spot due to its solid updates.

@joedangerous: dude, come on. 3 dark horses.
