There's a strong probability they didn't. They were just better about getting the word out. We would too, if only we had HLP...

i don't recommend cheating... remember the poll ends in 4 days, and a lot can happen in four days.

look here

first of all: blueflames, I agree that it is likely that simply more people like descent (that does not it a better game ), but can you honestly vouch for the entire Descent community? Well you might say that can I vouch for the FS community. No, but you guys are winning (by a lot) so the suspicion falls on you.

Personally I have my doubts, though I'm kinda skeptical and right now I think that you probably werent cheating (well not an auto-voter anyway)

That said, this poll is

a)only by and webmaster of Interplay not the actual execs themselves

b)Will probably be reset/restarted when a more secure voting system is in place

c)was used to show how much interest both games would generate, not pitting them against each other (I think), and both did very well I think.

BTW i just Dled the Descent3 demo, pretty cool..

anyways I think this was a bad episode in the history of a community that should be like brothers instead of enemies..I know i know, I acted badly too, but I still want to see FS win

oh yeah, as Stealth said, alot can happen in 4 days (we're at about the halfway mark in the lifetime of this pol) so thigs can still turn around like 5 times, so the outcome is by no means certain

this means: dont stop voting damnit, and equally importantly: dont stop spreading the news

yeah, that's the two things that i've been trying to say...

if they want a more secure voting system, be assured they won't use Flash for it

To bad for Freespace 3

It is a bad thing that some people who like Frespace I and II is too slow to vote on the Internet at Interplay.

It is therefor the Descent game is winning the poll at Interplay....

But I have cast my vote on Freespace 2 which is the greatest Space Sim... EVER... no other space sim will ever find its way to real Freespace fans like the rest of you fellows......

May interplay smile on our community!

FREESPACE TO THE PEOPLE!

Hear here. We were all acting irrationally. The closing of the Two Threads was for the better; let us unite under the name of Parallax.

But D3 has gone down 8%....

I guess theres no other way to put this: you don't see us automatically going around to D forums saying "we didnt cheat."

That's enough of a confession we'll ever get.
