Perhaps the Escapist contest have rules for the contestants as well? Like not advertising or promoting after the poll starts? Hence why all of Biowares actions were the day before their respective poll began.

Where did BioWare link to the contest? I'm quite sure they couldn't care less about what happens.


Forum threads, twitter, etc. No massive front page thing, but then again they already have a contest running to get your attention.

True, but it gives me a bit of hope that in the event they win and we get all the Valve fans voting for us in the final round, we'll have some serious voting power and can overtake Zynga. They were behind by over 2000 votes a few hours ago. I know this voting and crap means nothing, but it's fun to watch =]

I doubt that. Zynga has been spamming their Facebook page with cries to vote for them. Back in round 1, The Behemoth was spamming Newgrounds with similar pleas.

EDIT: Actually just Tom Fulp, but he founded both companies.

http://twitter.com/biofeed
http://twitter.com/masseffect2

I think some of the other official twitter accounts for Bioware sent votes as well but I don't follow them.

I have no problem for employees sending in votes via Twitter using their own accounts, it's their right, but having the official accounts send out votes means everyone following see's them. Sneaky, indirect way of advertising the contest.

Especially since the Bazaar made the number of followers on Biofeed leap up more than quarter in a single day.

http://twittercounte...month/followers

You'll even notice the timer made new followers increase above the average.

But as with any contest, it's a marketing ploy. I'm trying to make the case that they timed the Bazaar to help them get several birds with one stone. Seems to be panning out, imho.

From his personal Facebook account or using company accounts? I don't use Facebook, do they have official company groups?

Christ I thought last year was bad. None of the threads ever reached over 200 pages. I think.



For the record I did vote for BioWare this round because the only Blizzard game I've played is Starcraft (love it, but it's still the only one I've played). Though if Valve wins I have to vote for them next round.

I'll show you the link in a sec. Right now, I need you to go paste a plea for BioWare and Valve in Speakup and I'll go promote it.

Jon and I were both starred.



For our antics here:

and then we were starred on this one:

Jon has been replying with "You suck, Chewie." to quite a few of my comments lately, and Owen knows I love sports. Owen is by far the coolest editor.
