I never said I didn't support the community. A lot of people want to see Starcraft win. It'd rock if we did, but its not going to change anything if we dont.

OMG IF STARCRAFT LOSES IM SHUTTING DOWN STAREDIT.NET OMG. jk.

Too late. You already renewed the domain smile.gif .

It all comes down to fanboys. Discuss them here closedeyes.gif

Bolt: This IS Staredit.net. Expect at least SOME bias towards StarCraft. In fact, expect a lot of bias towards StarCraft.

Don't count your chickens yet, Yoshi. I've been hitting refresh on the page to see the results coming in and StarCraft is gaining little by little. An interesting note - the poll doesn't seem to have ended yet, even though it's 1 in the morning in our time zone. Is GameFaqs on Central Time or something?

StarCraft's percentage has been climbing steadily all night. Continually hitting refresh on the page is kind of like watching election results roll in.

Starcraft voters seem to be cheating. The owner of the site seems to have found about 600+ illegal proxy votes.

From: CJayC | Posted: 6/3/2004 11:57:23 PM | Message Detail
Total confirmed open proxy votes found for Starcraft: 637

There are likely more, but I've exhaused all of the public open proxy lists I know. All of the votes came within a specific time frame, and 100% of them were for Starcraft (something that can't really be passed off as a coincidence). They started off heavy, then slowed down (I guess as the guy exhausted his lists).

There are likely more than the 637 I found, but I was only going by public lists (i.e. ones I could find on Google). How I found them: Looked up a suspect vote IP address on Google with the word "proxy" as well, and then taking the lists that popped up and adding them into my known proxy list. I started with around 200 that I already knew about (I hadn't updated my lists in a year and a half), then found the other 400+ through Google tonight.

Oh, and this is pretty telling:

The plot points are votes per game per 1000 votes.

Hmm... It sucks that a StarCraft fan felt the need to cheat to win a popularity contest. And seeing as it has just ended, his efforts were futile. That's right, sadly, StarCraft lost to SSBM with only 49.73% of the vote. Actually, it would have been even worse had we won, because it wouldn't have been a real win. Thanks, proxy dude. We owe you big time[/sarcasm]. Here's a message from people who hate cheaters: screw you. SSBM won fair and square, and it changes nothing. At least we know that StarCraft is the Best Game Ever. That knowledge should be enough for any StarCraft fan. We have no right to force it on other people like you tried to do.

Thanks, StealthyDeath, for that info. And congrats to StarCraft and the StarCraft community, for getting us this far.
