kixfan:

Well, I'm not complaining cause I wasn't around then but this was picked almost 6 years ago.   It was the third pick.   Personally, I would like to see us be able to revisit some of the early picks.    BUT, I also think there are still plenty of great games that need to be brought to the light of day!    Maybe as a group we could come up with an expiration period so that some of these truly classic games can on occasion be selected.

big10p:

I didn't know we could only pick games that have never been chosen before. Should I choose something else?

pbj:

Six years seems like a reasonable expiration period to me.   ;D

Figure we're doing approx 2 comps per month so 24+\- per year - how about letting any that are more than 120 comps past be reselected (120 = approx 5 years) -- I don't think it would mean that everyone would start selecting directly from the old list but it is getting a bit hard to find an actual classic that hasn't been selected yet !
