Dear community,

Public vote is now available. This year we have a new system, accessible through the big green button,

The voting system works as follows:

You need a Google account and an itchio user to vote (both accounts required)
You can vote once a day (3/nov to 9/nov inclusive)
Voting consists in
- Playing 3 games chosen at random by the voting form
- Awarding 4, 2 and 1 points
You should play the games before voting

Anyone is welcome to vote and you may promote the voting system. Just take into account,

The votes from any user breaking any of the rules will be discarded

If you have any doubts, please ask us.

And, of course, Enjoy! :)

How I see my votes? I can't see them on submission feed (but I see people are rating). I push the 'submit' button at Google forms, need to do anything more?

Many thanks!

You can't see your votes, Francesc :). Votes are not public, as making them public would allow voters to design strategies. What we will be doing from today on will be posting a summary and the classification with annonimized game names. It's now posted on twitter and it will be here in a moment :)

Hi again 'Profe'... That message is a new addition to the voting Google Form? (today i've seen by the first time):

CPCRetroDev 2022: Public vote
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
\\-- Your vote has been registered. ¡Thank you!
//
\\-- You will be able to vote again tomorrow
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

For this reason I asked my previous question, I didn't see any message appears after voting, until today that I have seen this one. If that message not new, my previous votes not registered?

Thank you, and thanks all the organization team for all your efforts on improving!!

Ok, Francesc. I seem to have missunderstood you on the previous one.

The message is not new, it has been there since the first day. There is a issue with Google Forms not displaying a message when someone sends a vote to the same game triplet before you. The form simply reloads with three diferent games, as you cannot vote to the same triplet that has already been voted.

Sorry to here that, but that's correct. If you didn't see this message before, you haven't voted until today. You were unlucky enough to collide with other voters and send your votes later than them.

Of course, this issue is a problem we will have to look for on future revisions. For now, we can only feel sorry and assume that this doesn't work the way we would like to. Sorry about that.
