Yeah I am going to have to call shenanigans on that one. Just sorta smacks of cheating.
We can't prove it though, so no point in whining about it.
But something tells me that if someone cheats on this, then they missed the point of the competition.
people choice not bots choice.

I have voted, and told others to vote. I really hope this website wins as it is the only gaming website i have come across where mature debates can take place and every thread doesn't result in cheap insults. Going against the monster that is Gamespot and its army of 7 year olds will be hard, but we can do it!

Go Escapist!!
FOR THE HORDE! FOR GLORY! FOR A SWEET-ASS BADGE!

But yeah, I voted a while back. Harassing people to vote in my dorm.

Said it before: If I vote, I'm voting South Park. Best not encourage me to vote.

South Park > The Escapist > almost every other website

And there you have it.
South park and the escapist aren't in the same catagory, not sure why you'd think they were, so you can vote for both in their respective catagories.
Ah.

Come on people, Escapist is losing in the Webby awards. This website is amazing and deserves the award. So if you have not already VOTE FOR THE ESCAPIST!
This website certainly does deserve it...Has anyone else considered the possibility that Cnet bribed the Webbys to make this sudden jump in votes for Gamespot? I mean, ever since their firing of Jeff Gerstmann, I haven't trusted that media conglomerate.

Pardon, but how do you know that? The site says the winners won't be announced until May 5. They don't even list who has how many votes.

(They do list COMMENTS, but those aren't the same as votes.)

I voted awhile back, although I must say, I like Gamespot's badge system for reviews. Little icons that tell you the ups and downs. But now they're just far too overused and the reviews themselves are often rubbish. The only reviews I trust now are actually X-Play's reviews. Which came out of nowhere to get my respect. Specifically, "Sessler's Soapbox" gave me huge respect for the guy. Along with his honest review that gave RE5 a 3/5.

Everyone got a message today saying that Escapist was 100 votes ahead of gamestop but now we are 700 odd behind.
SO GET VOTING PEOPLE

It is a little suspicious how Gametsop suddenly went ahead by 700+ votes.

I don't know if we have much of a chance, while skimming over gamespot (http://au.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26855474&page=312), it seems they have a 314 page thread with every post saying I voted, while we have a 1 page thread with half the posts being witty escapades(not quite sure if this is a word but spell-checker didn't pick it up).

No, just the fact that idiots outnumber clever people on the internet by about five million to one.
