    Poll...

    I haven't played Battle Bear, so I can't comment on how good it is. However, some of the votes in the poll for Battle Bear look a bit sus. Quite a few of the voters signed up on 17 July and have no prior posts on this site.

    Name, total posts & date joined:
    BattleBear1 n/a
    deathscythe124 1..... 17 July 2011
    dnascot 0..... 17 July 2011
    leafyguyds 0..... 17 July 2011
    ludafactor 0..... 16 July 2011
    rage128 0..... 15 July 2011
    sonicfactor 0..... 16 July 2011

    I'm not saying everyone on this list is necessarily fake, but it seems odd. I wonder if some of these came from the same IP address. If those votes are removed, it changes the poll results.

    Async Corp deserves a unique runner up position that is separate from the main competition... I voted for it because there simply isn't enough attention paid to it (yeah lol... I would've voted for 9mm in case of a tie though :D)

    And NO ONE, EVER explains the gameplay of BBB!!! So W-H-Y_IS_IT_SO_G-O-O-D??? (I wanna get it too!)

    I think it's more likely they're lurkers who couldn't resist the urge to vote. Every forum has them, especially this one;

    It is possible that some BBB fan/s got a bit too excited and created all these fake votes (shame on you guys). But dont worry. I intend to check IP address (and thats not my only tool to confirm if they are fake) of everyone sometime before the poll ends.

    Doesn't really matter though considering 9mm is winning. Lol I looked down the list of members who voted for each game, and I'm almost certain that some of these people don't have the game they voted for, but meh.

    Talk about a warm welcome. :/

    I understand that it doesseem a little suspicious, but I really hope that this isn't the first impression you guys are getting. I'm sorry that I finally felt the urge to make an account, and if you want to take away my vote, so be it.

    Excited for the iPod version!

    Could CM_Games win twice in a row?

    Also what would be the reward for the winners? A mention on the front page or something?

    Checked all the voters here. Found just one person who got too excited and created 2 accounts to vote for BBB. Banned the extra account but that didint remove the vote from the poll so I'll have to deduct one manuall from the final tally. Rest all seem to be fine except for devs voting for their own games. Removing those doesnt make a difference (atleast not right now) but I'll definitely need to post a note disallowing devs from voting for their own games next time :p

    Edit: I manually edited the poll to deduct the dev votes. No need to manually deduct votes anymore.

    poll is over and the winner is Pocket RPG with 28 votes followed by 9MM (22), Battle Bears Blast (16) and Reckless Getaway (12).

    New thread will go live a lil bit after NZ releases show up.

    Using Twitter to send people here to vote, seems like destroying what I thought was the purpose of this poll: to see what TA readers loved the most.

    A shame. :(

    fwiw, Pocket RPG didnt really have any 0-1 post members voting for it. Their twitter post just reminded people to vote here.
