Gamespy Recall Vote

[gatewatcher]

We've been cheated. Doom was ahead when the vote was supposed to end, the polls close late and we lose by two. Gamespy was sloppy, recall. RECALL RECALL RECALL.

[Xenaero]

We have been very much cheated....Bad gamespy. I even recorded the minutes and they closed it late. Doom WOULD HAVE WON. I bet this was all rigged.

[Sharessa]

Yeah, that was gay. When noon rolled around, we were ahead by at least one vote, then five minutes later, when they FINALY closed the polls, we were behind by 2. Lame.

[Shaviro]

Yep. It's gamespy anyway...what did you expect? :P

Notice how the names they gave to each bracket pertains to the game that ended up winning each. I wouldn't be suprised if SMB3 somehow beat Half-Life.

When they made it so you have to register to vote, the validity went out the window.

Why? Planethalflife.

That's very true, although it was already doomed before since people who didn't have to register were able to vote multiple times, which forced them to restart some of the votes that happened before the semifinals. This is what prompted the change... but it's just one sample in a huge population, so it means little. Gamespy just didn't have anything better to do. :)

that, and throw ads at you by every means possible

[Ichor]

Maybe now we should vote for Mario to beat Half-Life.

So does virtually every other mainstream gaming site in existence :(.

We should raise Hell. Someone start a petition, then we'll all put our names on it and both e-mail it AND post it in the forums.

Or not fucking care since its Gamespy.

Uh, I guess we can give Doom a "1 up" and it could smoke Mario 3 if given a second chance and Gheyspy decides to close their polls at the given time.

Mario already scored way too high. I voted Half Life.

[Mogul]

No way - Mario 3 completely owns HL as far as I'm concerned.

We don't have to do it as a grudge. Mario 3 is clearly a superior game to Half Life anyways... in fact many games.

Mario 3... Half-Life... HAhahahahaaa...

[Reisal]

Why does Half-Life have to come up on the fucking list?

Because it was a good game... that got bastardized into Counterstrike?

[Naked Snake]

Who cares what some poll thinks?

[Fredrik]

This is a matter of life and death.

[Lord FlatHead]

Uh ? What are you people talking about ?

Ralphis should hax0r GameSpy and post the petition EVERYWHERE.

[The Ultimate DooMer]

More importantly...he could fix the semi-final vote and put DooM in the final!

[Infinite Ammunition]

Yeah, we've sure been cheated by other peoples' opinions and the fact that not everyone knows about the poll right at the moment it starts. Let's boycott the Mushroom Kingdom!

Shooting aliens and marines > jumping over turtles

I'm sorry, but a platform game that is just one big jumping exercise is not my thing.
