Tally updated.

[m8f]

This thread inspired me to see what WADs from the tally haven't received the "official Doomworld acclaim". So I excluded Cacowards, Cacoward runner-ups, Cacoward honorable mentions, official WADs, Top 100 Most Memorable Maps, Top 100 WADs of All Time and Top 25 Missed Cacowards from top 100 entries from the tally and got this:

 

1. Brutal Doom: Hell on Earth Starter Pack (Extermination Day)
2. Tangerine Nightmare
3. Chillax
4. Perdition's Gate
5. Slaughterfest 2012
6. Zone 300
7. Newgothic Movement 2
8. Elysion
9. JUMPWAD
10. Ozonia
11. Violence
12. ZPack
13. Hurt
14. Claustrophobia 1024

 

Notes:
- Extermination Day didn't receive a Cacoward, but Brutal Doom did.
- Chillax is a compilation of edited maps by various authors, at least one of them (Crestfallen) is in Top 100 WADs of All Time.
- JUMPWAD and Ozonia are eligible for 2022 Cacowards.
- Elysion is the first entry from the list that doesn't have a Doomwiki page.

@m8f Uh, I didn't vote for Innocence X2, I voted for Thunderpeak (by Vader)

[m8f]

Oops, sorry. There was a spreadsheet bug near the end of the list. It's fixed now, along with some other entries. Thanks for the heads up!

More insights:

• 50.6% of list entries aren't in Cacowards, 25 Missed Cacowards, Top 100 Memorable Maps, Top 100 WADs of All time, Top 10 Infamous WADs and official WADs.
• Almost all of the top 25 entries from this list have Memorable Maps in them. Exceptions are Eviternity (which came after Memorable Maps list), Memento Mori 1 and 2 and Hell Revealed II.
• The most 'officially acclaimed' WADs are BTSX episodes 1 and 2 and No End in Sight (Cacowards, Memorable Maps, official add-ons).

Hell Revealed: 5. Birthed slaughter and has some pretty decent maps to boot

Magnolia: 15. Mysterious wad with some good action, amazing set pieces, BEAUTIFUL visuals, esoteric progression, and one of the best soundtracks in a doom wad, with ONE OF THE BEST midis in a doom wad EVER (Magnolia Map 03)

Going Down: 10. Lots of Doom-cute, kick ass game-play and midis, and gameplay for EVERYONE.

POOGERS: 5. Despite not playing it, I can admire the work that I've seen for it and respect the mappers who made it. It also has one of the most unique maps ever created, map 29, which I implore you to play.

Capybara: 10. AMAZING GAMEPLAY, decoration, midi selection, and ball-busting difficulty. 

Scythe 2: 5. Erik Alm's love child. Created some of the TRULY difficult maps, beautiful midis, and every map is a real hit to play, even if at times it's a bit slow and boring. It's a hope that the whole community has that Erik comes back to finish Scythe X.

Just to say I think this thread deserves to be pinned. It's an incredible resource that deserves to be seen by all newcomers.

[m8f]

Electro Rage, thank you for voting! Max points for an entry is 10, so Magnolia is capped to 10. You have 10 points left.

NiGHTS108, thanks for the update!

Wyrmwood, thank you for voting! I cannot put points for Doomcore Trilogy because points are already assigned to Reverie separately, so I assigned points to base Doom Core.

I think there are already too many pins in this forum. However, it isn't for me to decide.

Didn't think of that sorry, Reverie does have nicer visuals and much better music but Doom Core was one of the first pwads I played through, loved it and learned a lot from it so happy to leave the points on that.

Afaik you still can't give more than 10 points to a single wad. The only rule that has been changed afaik is that now you are not limited to just spread your voting points between 10 to 20 wads, but rather it is from 5 to 55 wads

I know that. m8f could limit entries with >10 points to only 10 points, like he did to electro rage 's vote.

[m8f]

mhrz, SaladStream, thank you for voting!

Tally updated.

 

@brendondle, you have to vote for at least 5 WADs.

Added a list of people who helped maintaining this thread to the OP. If I forgot somebody, please let me know.

 

___________________

 

By doombedoom's suggestion, some votes were salvaged:

- Christophine Place: some points capped;

- Hitboi: points recalculated correspondingly to fit in 55 allowed points;

- Nembras: no change.

 

___________________

 

By the way, the points from the previous Community Top thread constitute < 40% of total points at the moment. This is not counting updates, so the real ratio is even less. So, most of the votes are relatively recent (2019 and later).

 

___________________

 

@Wyrmwood, voting for Hedon is allowed (commercial works are already in the list, standalone works too, so there is no reason to disallow it).
