Well, yeah, I assume that's why it's called the Dream List and not the Odds Are Favorable List.

Another issue (possibly related to my previous?): The Dreamlist keeps asking me to provide my password to log in--despite my being already logged in (as evidenced by this very post). :/

First of all, I've grouped together the following issues from a number of posts by different users, in various threads. They're too many to mention, so a big collective "thank you" will have to suffice!
The list is long so it will probably require a couple of posts.


* Wrong game was given votes during transfer

Wolfenstein RPG has more than 17000 votes at the moment... a mobile game. There can't be any doubt that they should be attributed to Wolfenstein (2009) instead.

Quarantine: almost 2000 votes for the 2017 game. I think they were rather cast for the 1994 game.

Chameleon (1986) and Chameleon (2005): I'm doubtful more than a thousand users voted for the 8-bit title.

Vietcong: I think the votes for the 2018 title should be transferred to the 2003 one, which is far more popular.

Soldier of Fortune: more than 8000 votes for an 8-bit title from 1988. They were likely given to the 2000 FPS that's already been released on GOG.

Spider-Man: 1600 votes for the Atari 2600 game? Somehow I doubt it... I really think they were intended for the 2000
or the 2002 game. Hard to say. A great number of these votes were probably already duplicated on the old wishlist.

2000+ votes for Portal, the text-based game from 1986...
nah, more likely for another Portal.

The votes for Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers from 1998 went to the 2012 edition instead.

You know this, I know this, but try not to say the part that makes marketing sad so loudly. ;p
I've come to understand that Galaxy users can't make use of the Dreamlist; is that your issue?

I don't use Galaxy, so I doubt it. :/

(I'm accessing the Dreamlist via Firefox under Ubuntu Linux.)

about this one, F1 Career Challenge is a console only game, while F1 Challenge 99-02 is the PC only version of that game (the description is totally wrong and taken from a sega saturn game called "F1 Challenge" from 1995 )

Hmm. That one seems to be up to chance, it seems. Firefox, Fedora, Dreamlist works great. Are you using the actual .deb or the dread Snap or Flatpak?
Oooh, a 3-1 deal! People were suggesting that Mobygames was being scraped, but Mobygames isn't this incompetent.

You certainly won't find Half-Life 3 or Street Fighter Uno on MobyGames.

Double-checking, it looks like I'm using the Snap version.

That said, I haven't tried again today to use the Dreamlist--I'll likely give it a shot later and report back!

I've just found another couple of duplicate entries:

Looney Tunes: Sheep Raider and Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf

OMFG: One Million Fatal Guns and...
OMFG: One Million Fatal Guns (!)


It happens to me as well, but only sometimes (and sometimes just when casting a vote), but I just have to reload the page to solve the issue.

Hmm, I hadn't tried that in response to the password prompt. I should try to remember that the next time that it happens!

Well, I did indeed try again to post my story--and it's still refusing to accept it. :/ (Both before and after a refresh of the page.)

Have you ever done an account refresh?

Hmm... I genuinely don't know! What would that be--just log out and then log in again...?
