2009 Greatest FM Timeline Poll

[LordEtern]

Since all I have any more is this forums number of hits to judge FM's I thought I would post what I have got and get a consensus of how people feel about those numbers.

Simply look this over and if you feel that a mission listed below deserved to be in the top 15 list it and give it a score between 1-10
Same if you see a mission that you think doesn't deserve to be in the top 15.

Actually this seems to be a pretty accurate list IMO.
I can't think of one I'd switch around.
One note though, Midday Escape and Requium for a Thief are older releases (maybe the dates are for re-releases of a higher version).

[Yandros]

I don't think I updated Requiem for a Thief after the initial release. It definitely was released in 2005 though (Beauty Contest).

[LordEtern]

I just go with the dates given to me on thiefmissions.com and keepofmetalandgold. Don't know if they are release dates or dates when they are posted or what. I simply take a FM and if its shows itself listed on multiple years, it gets multiple chances to win. Attempting to find the exact release date was just a little more work than what I wanted to deal with.

[LordEtern]

Realized I only had 14 FM's and not 15, whoops... Anyway thanks to the responses from my 2010 poll thread the Sun Within and the Sun Without FM now has a forum hit score. and places it in the top 15 list.

[The Phantom]

Nice list, LordEtern.

Unfortunately there are too many FMs here that I haven't played/finished yet, so I can't contribute to this. A good idea though .
