A page could be created which is composed of an empty text box.
A user would write in the name of a game they'd wish to see.
After the game is entered, it gets a score of +1.
All games start with a score of 0, and when a game's score gets
to be above 0 it is placed on this list.
After a game is on the list the user can click it to add 1 to
the game's score; submitting the game into the text box also
adds 1 to the game's score.
This way, every user that browses the webpage has a
say in what movies need to be done moreso than others.
All spaces in the game name would automatically be removed
after being submitted so that one game is not entered more than once.
The same game cannot be voted on more than once per IP.
Though games can be done in completely different fashions(1 player/2 player, etc),
it is probably generally assumed that a 2 player version would be superior
to a 1 player version, and needn't be included in the submission. -

I don't think there is really reason for implementing this.
ListOfIdeas isn't a mandatory obstacle or guideline in order
to be able to submit a movie. Anyone can play whatever game
they wish.
ListOfIdeas can be considered a little like a site
admin's wishlist, but really, the forum discussions already
cover this goal you were describing. -

My reasoning is that "whatever game they wish" is often difficult to
pinpoint, and by having a simple page(which would be easier to access
than browsing the forums) which not only listed desired games, but in
the order in which they are desired, it would be even easier to decide.
But I seem alone on this, and so I understand. -
Blechy
I understand what you want to say. I think it is a good idea because some people are
shy and don't write in forums. Also, it will be more encouraging if I know that
there's a lot of request for game than a game I'm not sure of it's popularity. Ex.
I'm currently working on LoZ and Ogre Battle and I prefer doing LoZ because I know
of it's popularity. For Ogre Battle, I know it is popular but I only know 4 guys that
want me to do a timeattack of this game.-

I see this as both useful and unnescessary. We have the forums for making game requests, and the end result popularity of a game will be found once a submission of the game is made and people start voting; yet many of Blechy's ideas would be a nice feature to have, especially for newcomers or perhaps those wishing to keep track of the most popular worked on TASes at the moment without browsing through 6 different forums. If this would be implemented, a feature I'd like to see is not only +1 votes but also the statistics of who is watching the run, and who is making it. And possibly a link for each game to its respective thread, since occassionally people create new threads of games for already existing ones.-
