Remember my Plundered Hearts poll? Well, here are the results of this
highly influential and representative poll:

I had 13 votes (including my own). Of those 1 was disqualified (Admiral
Jota, who hasn't actually played the game, but just wanted in :). The
other 12 people *all* voted "I love PH" (though one was only a like).

So it looks like Jason Compton was right (applaud), I was wrong (jeer).

But in view of the results I don't consider myself a loser. :)

Well, there you go.

PS-- Neil deMause asks if "I [heart] Plundered [Heart]s" would make a
fine slogan for the Amy Briggs Fan Club t-shirt. Yes, Neil, yes it
would. That above a picture of a certain hysterical and prolonged fight
featured in the game... (trying not to spoil it)

Well, color me stunned. I tried PH for about a half hour when LTOI
came out and didn't think it was going anywhere.

You all have convinced me to give it another chance. I'll get back
to you.

That's not true! It should be "Admiral Jota, who *hadn't actually played
the game, but just wanted in" :) After reading all this discussion, I
decided to give it another chance (after having sent in my vote).

I like PH. (Am I too late?)

Oh OK, the result was unanimous (and ominous, considering the number of
voters):

And two people have posted that they're replaying the game because of

Did you vote on that? ;-)

Who, for the record, *doesn't* think very highly of PH, as it is little
more than an average game with an average story and it took me ages to
find out you had to go in to that shack on the top deck (I didn't even
realize it was there). Mind you, I liked some of the scenes, like the
one with the villian, in his bedroom and dancing...
