Welcome to the second edition of the Recent Release Rumble! The Recent Release Rumble (abbreviated RRR, because of its positive effect on the environment), is basically the DOTM awards, but better. Instead of a monthly contest, the Recent Release Rumble is being held quarterly.

Click on Comments to read on!

The basic rules of the RRR are as follows:

1) You can vote for one D-Mod and for one Non D-Mod file. You cannot vote for two D-Mods or two Non D-Mod files.
2) Voting is done by posting a reaction in this topic with your choice.
3) You can not change your vote. So make sure you think before voting!
4) Only "well known" members are allowed to vote. This means that no ghosts or really new accounts can vote. This is done to prevent people from voting with alternate accounts.
5) Discussion about the files is encouraged. But please, no spamming or attacking other members!
6) The two D-Mods and two Non D-Mod files with the highest amount of votes of each RRR will participate in the Download of the Year Awards for their respective category in february next year.

So what are you waiting for? Cast your vote! Voting ends next saturday.

The choices for this RRR include all files released between july 1st and september 30th. The choices are:

Non D-Mod files

I really don't think The Savebot Massacre should count as a D-mod. You can't play it, you can only watch.

If ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ, Between the Shadows and The Other World are D-Mods (and they are), then so is The Savebot Masacre.

Also, voting for your own file, while maybe not the coolest thing to do, is permitted.

Hmm a lot of choice here.

Non D-Mod files: Chickens!
D-Mods: The Bomb

Why? Well... several very good non D-Mod things (eg, Dressup, DFArc 3, Site For Me and Erwin's teaser) but I chose Chickens because that's the one I'd actually use and find the most useful all round, even though it's voting for my own stuff

As for the D-Mods, half of them I haven't even played and the other half I've forgotten about but I did enjoy The Bomb a lot (even though I've only got halfway through so far ) so my rather flawed vote goes to that!

D-Mods: The Bomb

I liked "The Bomb" as well... Didn't notice it among the rest of the files though

Also, voting for your own file, while maybe not the coolest thing to do, is permitted.

Amen to that, Christiaan.

Dev: Legacy of the Dead Dragon Carcass midi pack

A few midis were great, some were good, and others were... outright horrible, it's like the instruments were picked out at random. I'm not sure what happened there, but I'm voting on this for the awesome songs.

If I had the time to play these, I would... but DDO is taking up most of my free time now. Curse the man who invented the MMO.
