*sniff* It's beautiful, Zev.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone who #Vote(d)Ricky. I'm really surprised, though, that he was the only player elected. I know I voted four three or four other players.
I voted for 6! Very strange that Okane, in particular, didn't make it.
ReplyDeleteI know I seem to say this every time, but those plaques truly are awesome Zev.
Thank you, Michael and Matt. For what it's worth, I voted for about four or five players too.
ReplyDeleteI think I voted for 4 (maybe 5), so it seems odd that we only had 1 player get in. In OOTP 16, it seems like there are a number of other "people" casting ballots, so if 17 is the same, I guess they didn't deem any other player Hall-worthy. Does the game post percentages? I seem to recall seeing that at some point in 16.
ReplyDeleteBrian: The voting results are here. Other than Peppers at 81%, only Okane and Vallejo received more than 50%. Okane was very close this year, and will hopefully get elected next year.
ReplyDeleteThe percentages don't make sense to me, so I think there are more votes in play than the 12 of us. Maybe it also counts the votes of the in-game owners?
