Community Backlog Blitz Season 5 - Runs October 1 through December 31 with a raffle at the end

We just finished a successful fourth season of the Backlog Blitz. We had 24 participants with 118 game goals set and 76 of them were completed. Congrats on clearing out those backlogs! Accoun was the big winner this time with winning the first draw of the prize for completing Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization. Make sure to congratulate them here or at the previous thread! Also, this was one full year of Blitz complete! Congrats to everyone that has joined over the past year (I think it might have been 13 months, actually). Here's to another year and hundreds more games completed! But that means it's time to start anew. The spreadsheet has been updated, the prize pool has been reset, and this time we have new consoles coming out to distract but also new graphics cards that'll help you run your backlog at 4k 120fps. Or more! Go insane! Pick your games accordingly! What it is: It's a simple way to clear out some backlog games. You select a number of specific games you want to complete and if you complete them in a set time frame you have a chance to pick a game of your choice within the prize limits. Rules: First off, there is no time limit on when you can join. If you come in late and only have a month left please feel free to join. Even one completed game will get you entered into the raffle detailed below. Everyone shares the same rules so an agreed amount of time would be set (three months this time) and then a set amount of games you want to complete in that time (been using five games). You then pick your specific five games with the intention that you don't go changing it all the time. The idea isn't that once you beat some game you go and list it and mark it complete. Instead you pick five games to complete at the start of the Blitz and ideally you complete them as well as anything else you want to finish in that time. Prize: In the end I suggest a prize pool and a simple raffle done. I always chip in $20 to start it and accept any other additions. Raffle winners must use at least half but can go up to the full price of a game (capped at $60 if the prize pool gets large enough). Leftover goes to the next drawn winner until it gets down to $0 (or close enough at which point I'll just add it to the next Blitz). Thoughts? There's no entry fee or anything so there's really no loss for taking part or starting it and then ignoring it. It's just a fun way to clear out backlog games and have discussion about what you're completing. And commiserate if you pick a game you don't enjoy and sour one of your spots on your list. I created the Google Sheet so feel free to add yourself and games: *** Hidden text: You do not have sufficient rights to view the hidden text. Visit the forum thread! *** I changed to a hide until replied as I think some people had issues with the hide until reacted. Ask any questions and sorry for those that already posted their new lists in the previous thread. Feel free to just post it again here as we continue for the next three months here. Good luck, everyone![/REPLY]
