+BBWW Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 To be honest: The head to head race smells like fake votes. The question is which side, maybe both. ??? It's just never happened before...so it makes people crazy I guess. I never thought a baggie release would even be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignorama Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) ??? It's just never happened before...so it makes people crazy I guess. I never thought a baggie release would even be close. I would really love to see the people who voted. At least all accounts, just to see how many new members participated. This anonymous voting is ridiculous und allowes cheating. As I said: Open votes next year would be awesome and I do not see any problem if someone knows that a user voted. Its just a problem if you want to cheat with several fake accounts.

Its just a problem if you want to cheat with several fake accounts. If anyone is sad enough to try to rig the Game of the Year for the Intellivision, they truly need some help. Both Piggy and Ms. Pac-man were major successes and neither needs validation through this process. While a nice, icing on the cake type of accolade, nothing anyone should be willing to cheat over. Personally, if anyone cares, I voted for Ms. Pac-man (I'm one of the late votes). I felt that it was a great port with the most polish of any of the games. I enjoy the new mazes, the cut scenes and even the options screen was made fun and classy (tips his hat to Mr. Mueller). 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BBWW Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 The last votes will decide this or not. It will not be without foul being called by someone. This is Atari Age, we expect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) @ Fushek Even if I agree that it would be sad, it would be not even close to be thr saddest thing happened in this board and we all know its damn true. And what a surprise, again we have a equalizer. I still do not see any single disadvantage from public voting. Are people embarassed for their votes? That would be pretty sad too.

+nanochess Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I don't have a problem with public votes. Although I would be a little embarrassed if everyone knows that I always vote for my own games Wait a moment? did I said it? oh my, I said it 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-crew Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I think that most of the frequent AA members have stated which game they have voted for.. like I mentioned before.. For me its #1. Ms Pac Man ,#2Princess Quest(hopefully if there's a squeal there's an easy mode) #3 Piggy Bank.... Hours to go and a tie for first.... How may votes will come out of the woodwork today... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Lathe26 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 If the vote was public, I think most people wouldn't care. However, I think there would be a small minority the would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I have seen at least one person who has voted in this thread attempt to create a new account (presumably to vote again in this thread). Any "anonymous" online polls can be manipulated, so I would never base any important decisions on them. Most people are honest, but there will always be a small percentage who will cheat if they can get away with it. The only way you're going to get a more "honest" vote is to ensure you're only getting one vote per participant, which is tough to do in a forum environment. A "public" vote would certainly help solve the issue of cheating (assuming that someone isn't using more than one existing account), but people may vote differently if they know they are being watched, or not vote at all. ..Al 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intymike Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 This voting is just a big joke (decide yourself if in a funny or sad way). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intellivotion Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) I can't but notice how much the number of voters is increased in a year: - 88 AA members voted for the GOTY 2014; - until now 124 AA members have voted for the GOTY 2015 ...whatever interpretation you want to give these data...

Place Logo Here Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Have been getting requests to vote for certain games. I am more than a little baffled by all the hullabaloo. In the end, what is the big deal about one game or another being crowned game of the year? This and some of acrimonious threads are starting to sour me on the forums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
