i actually think assault is decent. i tried them all, and some rocked my world, like A3 tools, others i dont understand like the gurb...

i don't think the forum software supports any voting restrictions. probably such a feature could be hacked in quite easily but i guess no one with access to the forum source will do this.

maybe someone could do a simple php voting script (without database requirement so that it can run anywhere) for the next contest. only the contestants get a password for voting. they can't vote for themselves but only for the other entries. everyone has 3 votes (first, second, third) since then it's less likely that entries get the same amount of points. i guess such a script could be done in an hour. just an idea...

i think that ultimately it dose not matter. the contest rules clearly state that the judges have 51% of the say of who wins and we the voters have 49%. and i believe it was purposely set up this way so that if there was an incident where people were cheating such as setting up accounts to vote for them selves or getting there friends to vote for them then they may still not win. my faïence wanted to do that for me. make an account and vote for my game and get some friends to vote as well. but i told her that it would be unfair to others. and if everyone got their friends and family to vote for them then it would turn into a popularity contest.

overall i believe who ever wins will surely deserve it no matter how many votes they get on this poll.

I'm so sorry.I can not speak english.
I used google translate.
I only own my vote anonymous Gurb.
This I swear...

most impressive post ever.
you deserver an inernetz!

anyway, as previously said by others than me (hi btw XD) its a good thing the jury has more say on this than the votes...

2% more xD

Guys, you aren't sure that he made some other accounts to vote for himself.
Who knows, may be there are some users, which really think that his game deserves first place!

A3 Tools is awesome in a bottle. Frankly I don't understand why it has so few votes. :\

take a lot of votes does not show made some other accounts to vote for himself

Because most people don't know A3 and thus they don't really understand the project.
But that was to be expected.
However, since I had the project ready anyway, I just entered the contest.

kts by the way is not my account. It is a friend who also made an A3 game and it seems he was blasted to see it running in A8. I talked with him that I plan to enter the contest - he must have found the place to vote on his own
