WELCOME TO TRASHDOME!
This is part of a series of bloody matches to the death. Show support for your favorite game so it will do better in the fight. You can support it by writing why you think its the better game and more importantly by betting (i.e. voting for) it. Please make it clear for when I check the bets later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.
Although you should be familiar with both games, there is no rule that says you have to have played both of them. The only rule in Trashdome is this;
Two games enter! One game leaves!

I throw my lot in with MoV -- the better game all around.

This is terrible...it looks like this is going to be the worst beat-down since TOUCH OF EVIL was done in by all those voting scandals. There was a group of vampires in Prague that were turned away at the polls without recourse.

Can't really vote in this one. Never played MoV, and have little desire to revisit 2210 since the Star Wars Risks came out.
I do think you guys are selling short how amazing it was for a mass market company to try and transform one of their flagship Wal-Mart games into a true hobbyist game at a time when few companies were even trying such a thing. For its day, 2210 was *amazing*. Unfortunately for it, Daviau wasn't done yet.

I say we just give Ken's vote to 2210. It's not like it's going to make a difference.

If there was any justice, this TrashDome would last a year. For the first month, it would be a close contest, then MoV would gradually pull ahead for a couple of months, and completely dominate for the remaining nine months. That would begin to resemble the tediousness of a typical game of Risk. I assume that 2210 is no better in that regard.

Since MoV is one of my most favorite games. I've written about it all over the place, so I won't repeat myself here. I want to thank Maka (think that is who it was) for pointing out that it does feel a lot like like an adventure game, except your ship is your character.

I say we throw the corpses of the non-voting wankers on to the crumpled body of 2210.
All future votes by them should be ignored -- you go against Trashdome you are relegated to sweeping up the fucking mess.

There really should be some kind of punishment for the noncommital wankers who have VIOLATED the rules of Trashdome with their wishywashyness.

Damn it, nobody got "Aunty's Choice". I wouldn't have minded seeing Ken B. "forfeit goods" though.
