There are too many games that qualify as old school to really make a decent poll on it.

[/ QUOTE ]
Agree, in retrospect.

Castelvania

Never played it, but remember it had to be 1994 or earlier.

Super Mario 3

This is a matter of opinion, it's certainly close.

And I think random seeding really ruins the purpose of these tournament style polls.

This is your best objection. The problem is that there were so many good games that I was going to have trouble seeding them, and people would have bitched about the seeding... I spent enough time coming up with the list of games, meh. You're probably right. I'll work on rearranging the matches for the round of 16 and I'll make it double elimination, in an attempt to give the good games with bad seeding a chance to do better (like Civilization).

It would be much better as a free for all.

Disagree

Good idea, execution could be better.

[/ QUOTE ]
I'd agree with this statement.

The only way you could have executed this better would have taken too long, and been cumbersome (i.e. a poll about which mario game was better, which castlevania was better) or multiple polls about genres and then people would bitch more...

I say stick with it.
