Let's all go say we voted for wow/HL2 a bunch of times and they're lying if they said the other polls were legit.

To be fair... Smash cheated. I think from a bunch of different design perspectives it outclasses HL2 and WoW and Halo, but it did not win the poll straight up, so no johns.

As much as I love smash brothers melee, I have to comment on your little campaign here.

There are usually two types of interpretations of rules - the letter of the rule, and the spirit of the rule. Regardless of whether "multivoting" is explicitly banned or not, a reasonable adult should be able to judge that 1700 votes coming from a single IP address is an example of abusing the system to push your agenda. If a game wins with ballot stuffing but loses miserably without it, what does that say about the popularity of the game?

Personally, Half Life 2 is my favorite game of all time but I'm prepared to accept a WoW victory - I don't even like WoW but I recognize its immense popularity. However, I also recognize the relative lack of (modern) popularity of a game released 7 years ago for a long-forgotten system. I had fun playing it back then as did a whole bunch of other people. But, sorry guys, its simply not game-of-the-decade material. It may be your favorite game of all time and I respect that opinion, but its simply not capable of winning without unsavory measures to inflate the scores.

You could have won fair and square if you actually got your forum members to vote legitimately, but instead you lost miserably because you relied on a limited number of people stuffing the ballots. Instead of trying to argue silly loopholes, you should just accept that SSBM as the cult classic that it is.

Instead of screwing with the tallies for HL2 vs WoW, why not just vote for the game you like the most or not vote at all if you don't agree with either of the games? That would be a respectul response to a loss. After all - you should be happy that your game got to the final 4 at all, I would have predicted its elimination far earlier.
Your a gentleman troll here but a total hater troll on the crispy gamer forums, but either way YOU MAD SON!

"The SSBM fanbase could use a little bit of growing up" -Cowclopse

"Not to be outdone, a gremlin at XXX.233.205.51 cast 2,228 rapid-fire ballots for Halo -- all by his lonesome!"

Hahaha I got a shoutout.
are you saying it was you? if so good ****.

"Oh, and in case you're wondering, this is the first evidence we've had of tampering; all the earlier polls were legit."

lol.... no? Check again.

Basically they had to say that so the whole tournament would seem legit. They obviously didn't care about multivoting until it interfered with what they thought should be the results, and WoW and Half-life 2 getting knocked out was not a part of their plan.
Did you spam votes before? if so that proves all of this as illegitimate.

I've resorted to just trolling the **** out of them, lulz

"It's also worth noting how honest the WoW and HL2 voters were -- their numbers are squeaky clean"

I really doubt that I only voted once I should have 3 times cause of my brothers but whatever. And why is melee 8th now? That's some bull crap yeah that site is P*** poor you really should have it equal don't even let that happen and I think they wanted to do that did you see the halo guy?

So, Melee get's disqualified for having too few unique IPs. w/e, I thought this poll was ******** before and after melee was in it. However it does seem interesting that the only reason the admin looked into any of this is because his precious Half Life 2 ended up losing.

I propose an idea. Instead of *****ing, complaining or doing anything counterproductive that would really just prove the admins point, I say we all vote for Half Life 2. Alot. Like, every few minutes. Stuff it's ballot box so much that it can't possibly lose. If the admin ignores the inflation and just says "Half Life 2 wins", then we know he's playing favorites. If, on the other hand, he realizes the votes for it have been tampered with, he will at least check to actually see.

Also, if you really do love WoW and want to vote for it, feel free./

Wow, you Nintendo fanboys are pathetic. Quit bawwwing about how a superior video game is beating your horrible one, especially when it has legitimate votes. This just proves that PC gaming > console gaming, even if it's just because PC gaming doesn't have as many crying kids like Nintendo's console.

PC FPS*>console FPS

Console fighters>PC fighters

Get it right. The admins didnt even care/notice until their favorite lost and QQed.

Isn't SSBM meant for kids anyway? Grow up and play a real game like HL2 or WoW. Even Halo.

No?
Halo is one of the most watered down FPSs there are.
WoW is good, but...

go play both those games and it is littered with kids. Smash is heavily populated by late teens-early twenties.

HL2 is just...decent and didn't revolutionize anything. It's engine did.

The problem is he's not using logic. All of you are so mad that they didn't let your precious game win because you all completely stuffed the voting (in fact, SSBM was the least of the four with unique IPs). You're all acting like children.

It's not even the fact that melee was d/q'd that annoys me, it obviously SHOULD be when one person votes for it over 1000 times, it's the fact that the admin only cared after his game of choice lost. If he really cared he would have noticed that this has probably been happening since round one. Instead we get this:

(Oh, and in case you're wondering, this is the first evidence we've had of tampering; all the earlier polls were legit.)
Which pretty much just says to me "****, they might notice we haven't been paying attention till the game I didn't want to lose lost. Let's just lie about it."

LOL, I can't believe you're all still justifying it. You probably think OJ is innocent.

I know an eight-year-old that type better than you. I'm not kidding one bit. He can form coherent sentences with proper grammar.

Wednesday, please don't respond so childishly. I have not seen such as bad of a troll as you in a long time.
