[K-KEN]

Here is a link-I hope that can connect you
to vote for your Favorite sim.  Ya get 5 votes, and the list includes AH now...thanks to me!  LOL  I cast 2 votes
for it, as I had 1 vote for AW3.  I am saving 2 for my sheep! <g> http://www.freevote.com/booth/99pcgames

Since I posted this three hours ago here and in the AW newsgroups, there are 32 additional replies to the link!  Keep up the spirit!      ( I had 2 votes)        
Life is good!  
HT,  make sure you have others look there too.  It might be why EA looked at AW3/KESMAI.  (a good selling point)

P.S.  I don't mean to imply you are selling....just that it is exposure!  Thanks to those who voted!

Kken it's not exactly hard to boost numbers.

I'd sprinkled 20 votes around in 10 minutes.

Kinda makes a mockery of voting but I suppose it gives a sim exposure.

Also, to use the world's unofficial acceptance of when a century/millennium starts and ends, is it not a bit weird to vote for a sim that didn't even exist in the 20th century?

It doesn't even exist in the 21st century yet

I am not of the geek breed, so I was cut off after my 5.  (just finished last 2)  I would rather you NOT inflate the numbers.......just to forsake the score.  I really want to see a few realistic things happen here.  But like everything else, there are those who chose to buck the system.  Thanks for your votes, but I ask that you refrain from voting for 4 days.  (If you used 20 votes.....4 X 5=20).  You know, there is a realistic thing or number to achieve.  I was allowed 4 votes for AH.  I made them.  Tomorrow will give me a new opportunity.  I consider that fair play.  Don't break the rules-just because you can.  I'd rather you didn't vote, in that case.  Call me a name or two, but give me the dignity for which I demand.  I like being honest and true to myself .......and others.  I think they call it ......
RESPECT.

A couple of things:

1. Geekdom is hardly a required qualification to realise how it knows how many votes you've done and how to get more. But I won't mention how here - there's no point.

2. I saw this voting booth mentioned a while back on another game's messageboard and everyone was encouraging everyone else to do multiple votes.

So I went down the list voting once for each game to see what happened - a method I thought that would not impact the figures.

3. You say you want a realistic vote but (a) you voted for one sim four times today and (b) you're going to vote for it again tomorrow? And the day after? And the realistic part of that is?

4. Look at the number of 'votes' for games like Doom, Quake, AOE. Any idea how many copies these games sold?

Now look at the Descent and Daggerfall 'votes'.

Do those kinds of numbers really reflect 'Most Popular Game of the 20th Century'?

Believe me kken I like to be honest and truthful to myself as well and in an ideal world these things might be useful in some way but expecting a world to follow the rules from the safety of an anonymous mouse click is rather hopeful I feel.

I did what I did simply to show the pointlessness of the whole exercise.

My participation in the voting and this thread are over.

You sir,  may be correct.  The link to a voting place that allows multiple votes per day is a bit inaccurate.  I don't suggest that anyone use it daily......I thought in the beginning that the vote was 5 votes period........and only caught per day this go around.  I cast my first vote in September.

As far as AH, I was playing it last year....in Beta, it is/was free and available last year, so-in that regard,  it does exist.      (or I am playing with myself again)  
  I see no harm in promoting this game/sim by any means that may give it exposure.  Sorry you are not interested in this link or reply.  That's OK,
Thanks
