"If you had a game in the gotw poll I could understand why you time and again bash JP, it could easily be explained by your being jelaous of JP. But now that isn't even the case!"
sorry for being a little altruistic, I'll try and only think about myself in the future if you like.
"Why can't you just accept that some people found JP more entertaining than Zombie PWNER for example? You just make yourself out like a whining spoiled kid who dies a little each time someone disagrees with your taste in games."
Ok lets assume for a moment that people did just like JP a lot... WHY!? Is it cos its got Jeff Vance in it and hes shooting construct? It seems to me that thats the only reason. And if I was a whining kid i would only be doing this if If it was in my own self interest, which it isn't since I've never released a game here (technically I have, but not as far as you know)
Nad to people who say they rate based on how fun it is: If for example there was an RTS game released that was a very good one but you don't really enjoy RTS's, would you play it and rate it low cos it wasn't fun for you or would you think 'well I don't enjoy it personally but i could tell it was a good RTS game'... cos thats how i vote, on how good i think it is regardless of my personal tastes in games.. I generally don't like platform games but I can tell whats a good one and what isn't.. and i know, as all of you do (i'm sure you do really.. come on now) that JP is one of those platform games that really isn't that great.. in fact its not great at all. The most it could possibly be is 'fun for a few minutes' and that does not warrant 5 stars and vote for GOTW above other proper games.

What about people's preference in graphics styles, gameplay mechanics, and control sensitivity? :| You're being very rude in calling the game "improper". Whether it is or not. This whole debate is rather pointless and nobody is listening to anyone else. Why can't we just drop it? Who really gives a load of poop what a game gets rated as compared to another? Just worry about being fair yourself, and let other people worry about themselves.

Oh come on, you know as well as I that I meant why create a problem when those involved doesn't even think that it's a problem.

Sigh. You still only point out the fact that you do not think it's ok for people to like a game cause you don't think it's good. As Shab mentioned earlier views upon what is fun and not is subjective, and therefore it doesn't really matter if you disagree with those who like JP or not. They do, and that's all that matters really.

Can you just for one second stop bashing JP in every post you make? It's really rude of you! People are allowed to vote whatever they want for whatever reason as long as it reflects their personal opinion on the matter. Your discrimination of what constitutes a "proper" game and not is just plain offensive. Every game that someone makes and wants to share with the community because they are proud of their creation IS A PROPER GAME, and shouldn't have to stand up to your kind of bashing of it and downgrading it's quality. I can't get why you do that.
Being off-topic is certainly not the only grounds for locking a thread.
This "discussion" just gets people in an uproar, and shows the attitudes of a lot of people quite well... (Including my own. ) It's certainly not beneficial in any regard.
