From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands
We sure are popular this year

You've shown your support for us at GameSpy.  You've spread the love and merriment at 1Up.  I'm sure you've also told all of your friends and family which game is the best PC game this side of Barnards Star.  Well, though your tireless efforts on our behalf are always appreciated, we must once again reach out to you, our devoted fans, to help further spread the word of Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords.

This time around, it's the GameSpot Best & Worst 2006 Awards.  They've started taking user votes for the "Best of Genre" awards.  Surprisingly enough, Gal Civ 2 is nominated in the Strategy Genre which is a shockingly short list.  In this particular race we're up against outstanding strategy titles such as Company of Heroes and Dawn of War from Relic, Medieval II Total War from Creative Assembly and Star Wars Empire at War from Petroglyph, all excellent titles any strategy gamer should have on their shelves (I have all of them at home).  But again, we all know who the clear winner is, and we here in the super-secret underground Stardock fallout shelter know that you, our fans and supporters, will help us out and cast your vote for Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords.

Genre winners will be announced in just TWO DAYS! So hurry, get your vote in now before it's too late.

OK, 17 votes so far for 11%. We can do better than that!!!

I'm all for supporting the cause, and have gladly voted in every other case, but Gamespot just asks too much. There is no way in hell that I am going to give them all of my personal information- name, address, etc., in order to join their little club. If I could join with a simple email address this might be different, but this is way over the top.

Voted.

Ah! down to 10%!
on Dec 18, 2006
Ok, so I bit the bullet and registered. At this point, 38 votes, and still 10%. Come on people, let's go! We may not have a Minor's chance, but at least let's make this respectable.

I just voted. It's at 14% now.

I'm truly sorry, but as much as I love GalCiv II, I simply cannot bring myself to vote for it over Dawn of War.

up to 241 votes but back down to 12%, damn.

Great idea about the e-mails. Mine arrived just before 10:00 pm CDT. Somebody's working late! Way to give it up for the team.

Yes, good idea with the emails! Some quick math (100 / 5) shows that we need at least %20 to be able to win. Maybe it's time to start informing the Civilization and Master of Orion boards?

Great idea, Jeff. I'm sure we have friends over there who would be glad to help us out. I'm not a member there, (nor do I know where they are, to tell the truth), so perhaps you could pass along the word?

I just started a thread in the Civfanatics Galciv 2 section. Hopefully it's not seen as advertising.

Thats not true, there are more then 5 games possible. You've to add it manualy at the end of the site.

My vote for example goes to dominions 3

I voted too but the problem is that we are voting against a HUGE population of players who probably not only haven't played GalCiv2 but have never even heard of it.

Still, cliche as it sounds, just being nominated for the slot is a damned fine honor.
