You guys make sure you vote next round too, we are either going against Valve or Zynga(makers of such classics like Farmville), and it is looking like Zynga is going to win that one since they are getting their drones from Facebook to vote. While I would be fine with Bioware losing to Valve since they are a great developer as well, but to Zynga!??! Hell No!

Well if a facebook group can get Rage Against the Machine to a UK christmas No.1 what hope does Bioware have?!

Damn facebook!   

.....Does Bioware have a Facebook group?

I think you give the facebookers too much credit. Sure they voted but just something to think about. What would happen if i say posted "Zynga in the finals of The Escapist's 2010 March Mayhem! And they are up against X" on say 4chan or somewhere simmilar?

/TSD

They DID involve 4chan in the Zynga vs Valve vote, and guess what, it was an extremely stupid idea, because the goons went and voted for Zynga.

4channers get off by griefing others, and the best way to grief in this situation is to vote for Zynga.

What we need is Bioware to get off their rears and do the same that Zynga is doing. Sending mail to everyone's personal terminal in Mass Effect 2, putting it on the loader of Dragon age, and why not? Promising an official DLC piece of equipment to celebrate if they win.

Then the farmcrappers would be kicked back crying to drivel in the virtual mud  on facebook.

Seriously Half-Life 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike: Soure are losing to Farmville?!?!? I guess the world is going to end in 2012... *sigh*

Maybe free Feastday DLC for a double vote

Not likely, but its fun to dream.

I don't think it's possible (or feasible) for Bioware to distinguish who voted and who didn't. It's easier for them to just say "If we win, we'll celebrate with a free piece of armor/weapon" on ME2 and Dragon Age.

People would still be compelled to vote enough to offset the balance.

That isn't a half bad idea.
BioWare, Make it so!

I know it is against the rules for BioWare to offer a reward to those who vote for them. Anyway it looks like it is going to be BioWare vs Zynga.



The votes are still being counted but BioWare is ahead by 707 votes. So unless Blizzard has 708 more Twitter votes than BioWare does....



Early congrats BioWare for beating Blizzard, that was no small task and is certainly something to be proud of.

I think it's EA that makes things... well, so. And since EA has the hands on BioWare, we pay for the DLC.... I wouldn't wonder if someday patches will cost us...

[Masticetobbacco]

I was gona vote for Blizzard because I play dota almost every day, then I remembered that blizzard had nothing to do with the development of Dota and I voted for bioware

Actually there have been tons of promotional items given away for free. We're not talking about full fledged DLCs here, but something like a shiny new sword, or piece of armor.

Anyway, voting is closed, let's see if we're still in the lead after the validation is done.

Both Bioware and Blizzard make excellent games, so I'll cheer'em both!

It's too late for that. The voting is closed and only one of them moves forward, probably BioWare. So, where would you stand in a BioWare/Zynga matchup?

[Fallunlight]

annnnnnnnnnnnnd BioWare HAS WON AGAINST BLIZZARD!!!!



A TRIUMPH!



Now... the true battle against filth; walking away from the battlefield of glory pertaining both great nations, BioWare has defeated Blizzard. There are many dead, known traitors but all in all, an honourable battle. Yet now, a common foe emerges victorious against an ally, Valve. Zynga was the name of the devious, treacherous nation and now they want more blood, as well to hold the staff as the king of developers.



We must not let this happen, brothers, even now our deafeated foe, Blizzard is required to aid in the defeat of this diabolical climb to the top. Rally the allies! ready the guards! let every man, child and girl-gamer know, that the time is now to strike. For Freedom of ad spamming! for depth of a great story! and awesome graphics! now! Lead on...



May your stories be great and the victory forever known as the day BioWare and allies, shut down the menacing Zynga corporation! *cheer*

[Garak2]

Uh, it seems that the voting has re-opened until tomorrow at noon (EST). So, everyone who hasn't voted for BioWare can do so now.



I am not sure why voting was extended.

[Abriael_CG]

DISREGARD THE PREVIOUS DIRECTIVE.



The polls closing was an error (epic fail Escapist!). The polls are still open until tomorrow at noon EST!



Keep up the good work

It wasn't extended, it was supposed to go on til tomorrow from the start. Looks like someone at Escapist skipped a day and jumped the gun. Epic fail!
