Let me ask you a question, Yoshi: Is your belief of how popular Tortured Planet is based on the praise you see for it in netgames? Because that isn't at all an accurate representation. This is what is known to economists as "selection bias". Just because you never see people complaining about Tortured Planet on netgames doesn't mean that such people don't exist--it means that such people are not interested in joining a Tortured Planet server. Would you join a netgame focused on a WAD you didn't like?
Obviously I can't speak objectively about Tortured Planet's eligibility, but I will say that I agree with Mystic and SpiritCrusher. As much as I would love to see my work honored like that, it's not at the level of quality that the Hall of Fame demands. I intend to improve my creation indefinitely, but it makes no sense to bestow honors upon something for what it might be in the future. They don't award Nobel Prizes to people who intend to do great things (well, they kind of did for Barack Obama, but that's a rare exception).
So, yeah. I hope that ends the controversy about that. But my previous conviction still stands. The Hall of Fame includes XSRB2 and, as of yesterday, Botanic Serenity. I think that's a little too exclusive. Surely there are a few other things that deserve a spot. I heard someone mention Oceanic Cove Zone; why not add that too?
