When the spirit is not altogether slain, great loss teaches men and women to desire greatly, both for themselves and for others.

Why vote for companies?!


Beacuse games do not make themselves. They are a work of developers and if those developers make a great game, they should be commended for it. Just like how progamers are commended for excellent play and how writers are commended for excellent books. So regardless if you enjoy their other games or not, Blizzard still deserves to be commended for that one game you do enjoy.

And before anyone tries to raise this point, not all of the developers of the original StarCraft are now gone. Infact, at least a quarter of the current SC2 development team consists of developers who also worked on the original and this is not mentioning those who have gone to higher positions (such as Mike Morhaime and Rob Pardo) since then.

Why do I get a very bitter taste when I see Relic going down by a mere of 2 votes and then being declared the winner?

I made a post in their forums:



ok, so here's a question.

how could you possibly not foresee cheating in a tournament based on polling. oh wait, im sure you did.

so then here is a followup question: why would you not just make the polling based on IP address so this cheating couldn't happen?

I can only see 2 possible reasons:

1.) the people who make the polls are stupid

or

2.) so that the hosters can have an excuse to manipulate the vote counts.

This is what some clown came up after his "research" of innovations:
On March 30 2009 0:36 Aran from Escapist wrote:
Acti-Blizz
1. Pitall! - non-flickering animated sprites imitating a moving stickman (apparently graphics ahead of its time)
2. Starcraft - first rts with factions that were entirely different to eachother
3. Starcraft - replay system to see old games
4. Guitar Hero - a way to get people to pay for music again
5. Call of Duty - (multiplayer) respawn near teammates for instant reinforcements
*Also credited for instances in MMOs, but I think Asherons Call or Anarchy Online did it first.
*Also credited for the leveling hero system in RTS games, but Red Alert 2 did it first, might've been an even older game too that I don't know of
*Also credited for flying mounts in MMOs... *sigh* Anarchy Online did it first, possible someone else too

Relic
1. Homeworld - first true 3d rts (not to be confused with 3d graphics. HW was set in space and let you fly up and down to flank)
2. Company of Heroes - cover system akin to FPS games, where your units hide behind objects for reduced damage
3. Dawn of War - reinforce squads of units in the middle of combat in RTS
4. Dawn of War - fatality animations (synchronized kills) in RTS
5. Dawn of War - secondary hp bar (courage) for units in RTS, running out lead to insane statloss
*Also credited for squadbased combat, but I think someone else did it first.
*Also credited for taking out basebuilding in RTS, but I find it highly unlikely that none tried that before
*Also credited for moving away from resource gathering by making capture points at focal points on the maps. Again, probably not the first RTS to do this

That's all I could dig up from personal memory mixed with some wikiing


Bold ones are hilarious.

What an excuse of a site/sorry ass poll.

You think this'll bring you good publicity, escapist? You've pissed off a lot of people today. Rigged vote tallying/complete lack of any kind of professionalism, good work.

I expressed my opinion in a very civil fashion - no curses, no nothing.
Simply stating why I believe this poll wasn't handled in a legit way and appologzing if that opinion upsets anyone.

It took about 15 seconds, then I was banned.
How utterly pathetic.
Huge fan of JulyZerg, HonestTea and that guy Kim Taek Yong.

I think relic won in the first place, perhaps by more than they let on, and then they tied it to get more publicity.

They feel fine after rigging the poll, so i don't expect they feel sorry after banning few people.

I registered an account but I can't figure out how to vote t.t

Oh crap I'm 2 hours late! And the margin was seriously 11 votes out of 6000? That's not fishy.... I mean if Blizzard would've won it'd be fine... But this is baad.

Here is a better poll




[image loading]

Poll: Which is more powerful
(Vote): A relic (the kind nicholas cage would be looking for in a movie)
(Vote): A blizzard

I believe we did...

though i don't think there's any real point or prize in winning this pole unless I'm mistaken it looks like it was just created to fuel the fires of a flame war of epic proportions and get there site recognized
