Fallout 2 vs Diablo 2 part 2

Gents, i have been doing a little experiment over the night regarding the voting in this face off. Every time i would vote i noted the score for both games. To be fair i even voted for Diablo2, as to show no bias in my experiment. The results for me were this, EVERY time i voted for Fallout2 the score for Diablo2 went up Exactly by 3, End results 100 votes for Fallout and 300 for Diablo. When i voted for Diablo2 the score went up by exactly 2 for Diablo, none for Fallout, the end score was 200 for Diablo none for Fallout. I voted exactly 20 times for each between the hours midnight and 5am CST. To me this was an anomaly of statistics that points to a bias towards Diablo. If somebody else could confirm my findings with an experiment of their own we could prove conclusively to a rigged vote. Me thinks the voting is rigged.

Fallout 2 ~ 4223
Diablo II ~ 6496

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :x

@Thorgrimm: I noticed the same thing: everytime I voted for Fallout 2, the score of Diablo II went up with approx. 4 votes. Strange indeed.
 
Same here.

It seems that someone from the D2 modding crew has written a very nice virus for the fight.

You can do some experimenting. If you pay attention, the second time you vote after deleting vote=1, an & pops up that wasn't there the first time you do it. Strange, no?

Do we have any smart crackers that can do a counter? :twisted:
 
leave it to the diablo fans to play dirty :-P i know cause i sometimes screw with d2 mostly modding wise and theres alot of sick people in that game who love to be controlling and an outright bully!
 
Damn - 50 votes for FO2 using my most sophisticated routine short of a macro (I have no idea how they work and I don't really have the time to learn ;) ) and D2 got 100+ extra votes. Just sitting idle for the same amount of time results in D2 only getting a handful of votes. This bodes not well for this vote's fairness.

Posting on RPGDot didn't help much, either - and I thought that community should know an RPG once they see one... :P

Hmm... we may have to resort to just call on the supreme court to hand us our deserved victory in this... ;)
 
Is there no hope?
...
Maybe we should contact all BIS games fans?!

FO, BG, IWD and PT fans from all over the world unite!!!

Gamespy Title Fight rule page:
During the first four weekends of the tourney, "Extra Life" polls will be held containing all the losing games from that week. The 32 losing games from Round One will be divided among 4 Extra Life polls (the first 8 losing games will go in "Extra Life #1", and so on).

So the options are: lobby for FO2 to be the third title in the next poll, or
rally to StarCraft to put Diabolo2 out of the end round.

If Warcraft3 is the wild card then, consider waiting to see which RTS has the promise of spoiling Diabolo2's sweep. Then again that may be the point of these wild cards, to split the opposition to the games "groomed" for this hyped hierarchy.

It's interesting that many polls combined-total votes are around 10,000, or less, but where Diabolo2 and Halo are concerned there are around 16,000 votes total. Are we all that selective in our tastes, what we cared to vote for, ... , is "The Fix" on? Or is this late winter cabin fever paranoia? Or the sheer weight of market sales?

It's rigged, guys. I'm pretty certain by now. Actually, I think it might be wiser to stop voting altogether, since for each vote you give to FO2, D2 gets 3 (and sometimes 4) votes. Can't we complain about this somehow? I mean, it's pretty darn obvious to me that some D2 nerds are using macros to win this battle. It's just not fair. I won't nitpick on guys who vote 10, 20 and even 30 times themselves, but screwing up a title fight like this with macros is just no good. Can't we make that site crash or something? :evil:

I mean: Jesus f****** Christ, D2 is like to most stupid game ever. Don't people recognize quality anymore?

A more diabolocal macro would give 2 (or more) votes to Diabolo2 for each additional vote, after the first, if any fan of FO would try stuffing the ballot.

But I guess since FO:BOS, karma is out of style, and the devil takes the 'hind-most.

Hey, not to put a damper on it, but how do you think FO2 beat BG?

:shock:
 
Rigged ? I'm not sure. At the beggining when total votes counter was at about 2000 votes D2 had +/- 350 votes advantage. After something like 500 aditional votes F2 was still behind for about 350 votes.
 
Yeah, where are all the pc wizards around here, eh? You guys normally brag a lot about how you do this and that with your computers, so why not do this community a big favour, eh? I'd do it myself if I knew how...
 
Hi,
My users of supermutant.de can confirm the fraud! Every time they votet for F2, Diablo gets 4Votes added!
I hate gamespy! What the **** is that? :evil:
 
Did you guys noticed my last post ?
Besides what you expect ? D2 has large community and D2 fans voted as well. Don't you think it would be even more suspicious if D2 vote counter was still ?
 
Well.. if each time somone votes for FO2 and D2 gets 4, how come the D2 vote count isn't 4 times higher than FO2?
(if you can make sense of that :))
 
What the hell the Diable 2 fans really did hack the poll. NAyone contacted gamespy about this? How could they have done that? Unless they rigged up some sort of script to note the change in Fallouts vote or something....
