Official April 2008 Gemstone voting thread

38 replies · 72,768 views · Started 14 April 2008

Here it is, the official thread for voting for this month's gemstone quest. So what quest will win? Will it be:


Remember, there is currently no way to make this poll private. Some of us like to keep things like this a surprise. Don't directly discuss or disclose what quest is in the lead.

The quests are in the various ZC versions:
1.92.183 (James Quest, Links Birthday, Molka)
1.90 (AlphaDawg's Unofficial Third Quest) and
1.92b163 (Hero of Time).

Be sure to follow all normal Armageddon Games forum rules as well as the Gemstone rules.
Have fun!

I didn't think it needed to be.
SotW is the "active" contest, always thought Gemstone was a bit more subdued, a bit more...formal, like "This is this months selected quest. Enjoy!"

Wow, five votes. I get the feeling SotW will be a much more active forum than Gemstone will be.

Monday. For consistency with SotW, Monday's the day everything revolves around. First Monday of the month, nominations. Next Monday, voting. Third Monday, review, summary, etc. I was thinking we could switch every month, between one of us doing the voting and nominating, and another doing the review. This month's your turn for the review.

You know, maybe the review should come on the last Monday of the month, since it's kind of hard to beat the whole game and write a review all in one week.

Hmmm... That does sound better. Plus it gives us more of a break between weeks. I'll add this all into the rules.

And I'll start playing Link's Birthday, since it looks like that one's going to win. Ah, back to the good old original Pure tileset. I needed a break from DoR and PTUX. Now I have one.

Too late, I already did and I'm already through level 1. This is going to be a fun review.

I was saying not to disclose what quest in in the lead on the poll. I'm not against you going ahead and playing the quest.

At this time, I think that almost everyone who will be interested has already voted. And even if they hadn't, that one that's winning is winning by so much it will be hard for a different one to pass it by.

Whoops! Forgot the forum automatically showed you the results once you voted! My previous statements are void. On another note, with 2 more voters, we'll actually reach 15. Of course, I'm happy with just 13.

Oo, now we're at fourteen. One more and we will ahve reached our goal. 😊

I've played four of the five, having only missed out on Hero of Time. They're all excellent. I actually liked JQ2 better than the original. LB is the first custom quest I ever played.

Having said all that, I voted for Molka. The overworld is so original and puzzling, it's like a level unto itself. Molka is a tremendous quest.

According to my clock, voting ends in 38 minutes, and we've reached our (second) goal of 15! Hopefully in May we can get up to 20!

Russadwan is writing a review of the game, planned to be posted on the 28th. Then on May's first Monday, nominations start again.

Yay, we reached our second goal. Well, I am looking for level 2 of Link's Birthday, and desperatly hoping I can beat it and write a review in time.

Well, I'm sure it would be acceptable if you made it through at least most of it. I'm not thinking we should give away any big spoilers or anything, if Link's Birthday has a big storyline at all.
