Oddworld needs your vote!
 

Well Stranger got 32% now. What's going to happen when it's all been voted?

www.eagames.co.uk

wow!!! I can't believe it.
It was at 3% when Max posted it on oddblog yesterday!
can you feel the power of the oddworld fans? :D

we are right after "LoTR, The Battle for Middle-earth™" (38%)

The numbers between LOTR: The battle for Middle Earth and Stranger's Wrath are so close now! It's amazing because SW was only at 5% when I voted yesterday!! I hope that Stranger eventually gets first place! :)

Argh I voted... But i doubt the numbers will atay that big, cuz when we've used our votes. we can't vote again. And i think there are more LOTR fans, than ODD fans :(

Aaaagh!!! We've slipped down to 32%. Come on everyone, get off your arses and vote!

Hey...at least we're in second place. Me happy.

Tied at 36% with LOTR...

Yay!! :) This is getting better and better! I think it'll beat LOTR now! :D

Stranger's Wrath is currently in the lead with 37% and LOTR in 35%. Yay! :)

-oddguy

I'm amazed that Stranger rose up to the first position so quickly, as with Xavier, I first saw it when Max reported that it was only 3%. Good work everyone! But don't slack off, keep voting for Stranger! :D

Alcar...

I wouldn't have known about this poll had it not been on OddBlog. I think that's what attracted so many Oddworld fans to it.

-oddguy

I'm more amazed that Stranger rose that far in such a small amount of time. Taking into consideration visitors to OddBlog, and visitors to General Discussion, I think the LOTR fans are kind of slacking off. LOTR has a much larger fan base afterall, so let us hope they do not discover the poll.

Alcar...

36-36, damn, we need more :p

Well, if you are familiar with browser cookies, you can always delete the one that eagames creates so you can vote again... but you might get bad quarma :P

No, that's cheating! I'm going to my old school tomorrow, I'll ask *cough*force*cough* them to vote. Any way...WE GOT DA POWA!!

Aright, Stranger is in the lead!

All the things I voted always seem to be in the lead ;p

well done guys!
wow apparently max did an very good job by reporting it on oddblog!

I realy hope it will make EA realise the people do care for the game!!! :p

There probably aren't many people voting at all in this poll if the numbers bounce up and down so quickly.

I'd never expect that when I saw it at 3% :p
38% Oddworld
34% LoTR

I've just voted, and SW is still 38% to LOTR's 34%. :fuzgrin:

I expected more for Battlefield 2. The first part was really popular.

Stranger 37%
LOTR 35%

Come on everybody! Lets kick some pasty white geek-butt!

You guys are awesome! Keep up the good work (and the voting!). We need all of your support!!!!

Out of curiousity Alf, does it make any difference other than pride if we win?

I mean, will EA suddenly realise that Oddworld has a huge fan base, or will they just ignore the results?

LOTR: 35%
SW: 38%

NDW... well I guess EA will see there are lots of people who cares about the oddworld games
Yuk LOTR is coming back :(
LoTR 36%
Oddworld 37%

Nooo! I can't do any more! I voted with every dang computer in my old school's lab! Bah.

I don't think they should have made that LoTR game at all...second fellowship indeed...pah...

noooooooooo!!!!

LoTR 36%
Oddworld 36%

C'on oddwolrd fans. Vote for Stranger's Wrath!

Hmmm, I'll have to use each computer at work tomorrow. Maybe that should work. Lol can't imagine asking my boss to let me borrow his comp for five minutes just to vote for this. I'll have to do it in the morning before he comes in.

noooooooooo!!
I will tell every member of the crew to vote:)
that would make us win from LOTR

Oddish...I think pretty much everyone who's read this thread has voted :p

Anyway...office working people! Every computer! Come on, Oddworld NEEDS you!

I would get people at school to vote, but the URL has the word ‘game’ in it, so it's automatically blocked. Fury shall flare when the biology department wants to go to the fictional gametes.com. I'll keep MSNing everyone.

*goes to misuse more brand names/use more neolgisms*

I am concerned over the multiple-voting, though. Does fandom justify the falsifying of statistics? Personally, I don't believe it does. The poll is there to determine proprotions quite earnestly. It's one thing to give fans a kick in the pants, it's another to create inaccurate results. Proceed with caution.

True, but a poll like this could lead to better publicity; if we hadn't noticed this poll and Stranger's Wrath stayed at 3% Ea games are gonna get the idea that this game isn't gonna appeal to that many people. But if they see that Stranger is kicking LOTR's ass then there gonna think "We're onto something good here, let's put that little bit more effort into advertising it, which leads to more people finding out about the game, which leads to better sales, which leads to OI getting more $$. The fact that it's a poll on eagames makes it all the more important. Also if people who browse the ea website see Stranger's Wrath ahead of all the others in the poll, they're gonna think that this may be a game worth checking out. Yeah? :)

meh, I knew this poll doesn't mean anything for us. After all, we know we're trying to falsify it. We want EA Games to belieffve that Stranger is more popular than it currently is, though. ;)
So I don't think we're cheating ourselves.

Whilst I can see where Max is coming from, all I will say is one thing: delete your cookies.

Anyway, do you really think those LOTR geeks aren't also doing that?

Yeah, but will they do anything different because of that?

Incognito, I am aware of all those potentials, but I still stand by my principles. Smaller issues are great times to test the strength of your beliefs, and sadly mine are carved into my bones.

Yes, we either want for that, or for EA to discover that Oddworld does have a groovy popularity as it is, but while we were all pitching in and giving one vote, we were telling the truth and not creating inaccurate results.

That's a tu quoque.

I'm sticking by my reservations, but of course always encouraging others to vote legitimately.

It also makes visitors to the site take note of this game that is beating LOTR is a popularity poll, which could draw in some buyers.

oddworld is loosing now :(

LoTR 37%
Oddworld 35%
