Attempt at an OFFICIAL 360 Backwards Compatability Request list...

Due to the high amount of threads that have been made, requesting backwards compatability, argueing over why games shouldor shouldnt be compatible, dissing microsoft for its lack of BC updates, and the like, I thought it time we try to make an official, all encompassing request count. In a way, we are like Microsoft's children, and although they owe us a good upbringing, we owe it to them not to be whiny little brats. So this is my attempt at using a responsible respectful tone to petition for backwards compatability of specific games. People have attempted to list game requests, but in an unorganized fashion. This is what I would like to do.

Forum thread setup:

Gamer A posts:

Game request - 1
Game request 2: The Sequel - 1
Game r3quest: Finale -1

Gamer B posts:

Game request - 1
Game request 2: The Sequel - 2*
Game r3quest: Finale -1
PreGame - 1

Gamer C posts:

Game request - 1
Game request 2: The Sequel - 3*
Game r3quest: Finale -1
PreGame - 2*
pReQuest - 1
pReQuest 2 - 1

Gamer A posts:

Game request - 1
Game request 2: The Sequel - 3
Game r3quest: Finale -1
PreGame - 2
pReQuest - 2*
pReQuest 2 - 1

and so on and so forth... Gamer A started the thread, and in this case is actually going to be me. Gamer B agreed with the second game and would also like to see it backwards compatible, so added a point to that game. Gamer B also added a new game to the list with 1 point. Gamer C adds 2 new games to the list, and adds a point to each of two games on the list that he agrees with as well. Gamer A has been watching the thread, and notices Gamer C has added a game he had forgotten all about, and therefore adds a point to that game, however, he doesnt add points to the games he himself listed because his own point has already been counted. Make sense?

Some basic do's and dont's

DO make use of copy/paste to copy the list from the last post and edit it as necessary for your own post. It'll make it easier to keep the count accurate.
DONT use Quote, it's great lookin in regular forum threads, but when we have Quote inside of Quote inside of.... you get the idea, the thread becomes an eyesore.
DO add stars (*) to the items you added a point to, and delete the stars from the previous post, it will make it easier to keep track of who's voting for what game, especially when microsoft actually takes a look at this.
DONT deliberately add extra points to a game to rig the ballot. This means, not adding points to jump from 1 to 40, for example, and not reposting points to games you've already voted for, even under seperate gamertags. We wont be taken seriously if people fudge the numbers.
DONT remove games or their points from the list just because you disagree, or for any reason at all. The ultimate goal is to have all games backward's compatible, so don't disallow other peoples opinions.

And along with this

DONT post joke games on the list. Once again, we're trying to be credible. And if someone requests a Barbie game, theres reason for other one to be on the list.

And most importantly-

DONT go off topic, and please DONT leave rude or unnecessary comments (ie, Why did you put that game, it SUCKS! or This is stupid, MS doesnt care or I should get to vote twice because I have 2 360s) If you would like to leave a supportive comment, please keep it short and after the list update, and please do not post in this thread unless you have a list update.
DO first check to see if your game is already backwards compatible on the official list at http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm

Thanks for everyone's support in trying to get this done properly and efficiently. I myself will go into the list now and then to try to make an official update now and then, to account for any miscounts, or fraudulent posts. And now, Here's me, starting the list.
