how much do they want to win? not that hard. soe doesn't really care. it's just to satisfy our fancy. i guess you could say it's to test ps2's hype machine for when the content really flows

if you don't see it already, the poll is just an effort to garner site traffic. i bet a lot of people don't even know what ten ton hammer is

I understand... I only just read all the posts about it. I was under the impression everyone wanted it to win so others would take notice and get excited as well. To be honest it would take literally 10 mins to write the program as I've done similar thing many times before. But if general consensus is an honourable victory or no victory that I shall place my 1 vote a day as well.

We want to win, but we dont cheat.

So we dropped back to 3rd. We must be neck and neck with Firefall. It would be nice to see if we are making any ground on Guild Wars 2.

Realistically, I don't think we could beat GW2. Its a very successful franchise with a lot of fans, whereas Planetside is kind of a dead franchise SOE is trying to bring back. Beating Firefall should be no problem though

You're probably right. Besides, Planetside doesn't have much going for it as far as videos. I mean Firefall and GW2 are both in beta now, so they are closer to release. But more newer people won't get amped up about PS2 until they can actually see what it is.

3rd place is unacceptable! death to firefall

I can use The Russian Method on this one, if you allow me to. My IP is dynamic and I can change it with a simple click of a button. I can get around 20 votes in 10 minutes.

Dont do it. We fight fair, same as the firefall community does.

That's why I like PlanetSide, its devs and community.

Raymac · 2011-12-21, 07:55 PM

I'm with Ol' Dirty Basti on this one. Rather finish 3rd fighting fair than get 1st by "cheating" the system.
