Could I ask a March Madness question? This is only the second year I've participated, and I'm wondering if I'm missing something. I filled out my whole bracket before the whole thing got underway and then waited for the announcements of who won (presumably based on what all of us put on our bracket cards). But this article mentions the companies battling it out and votes coming fast and furious. Is there a secondary voting process? You can't change your bracket card...so what did I miss?
March Mayhem 2012 Is Over, Valve Wins!

Yeah voting is done after you fill your brackets, over the course of the entire event, with each round lasting a few weeks.trooper6 said:
I usually get to the voting page using the large site-consuming background ad.
So yeah, the initial brackets aren't actually votes, sorry bud ^^;
Anyway, it's interesting to see the EXACT same arguments about why Valve is now scum of the earth that was hurled at Mojang for winning last year...
Edit: didn't quote you, hope that still goes to your inbox.
Congrats to Valve, well deserved! I'd love it if the more obscure companies placed higher, but overall the MM turned out pretty well. Not much work for us mods either, so a big kudos to the community for putting your best face forward for the new users!
Diablo 2 and Starcraft 1 have been supported by Blizzard since Bnet 1.0 launched way back in the day. Doesn't seem to get them any brownie points.doggie015 said:
At this point I feel I should express some confusion.
Firstly, I never win things, seriously, never.
Secondly, this is the first I've heard about winning, and am majorly confused by this turn of events, I haven't had any messages or emails through about this or any form of contact about it.

Y'all will probably call me crazy for saying this, but I kinda miss Zeel.Nikolaz72 said:
He was crazy, sure, but he had energy and passion... a real zeal for life. We dueled like madmen, he and I, but he wasn't all bad. He stuck to his guns and fought like a badger. He certainly needed to tone down the swearing and threatening bodily harm, but he brought interesting ideas to the table.
I saw the post on GiantBomb and it sounded nothing like Zeel. I'd have to say in this matter, I'm with him. He was definitely framed, and it's very unfortunate if that fake post is, in fact, what got him banned.
That essentially means anyone could create a username of "The.Beard" on some other forums, claim their name is The.Bard, and say they troll the escapist to get me banned. There should be some level of proof needed for that kind of thing to hold water, be it ip address or something.
Anyway, he has a final goodbye/salut/farewell post here, along with proof of his innocence:

If you're still reading Zeel, I salute you.
oh, this is why I have premium, is it? I filled it in at half 2 in the morning just to get the badge, never expected to win.

There's always next year Bioware...
...where you will probably be runner-up yet again
Bioware deserves to win one for once! Too much Bioware hate recently.
