Alright, the pre-weekend tally [drum-roll] ... [/drum-roll]
There were a total of 162 votes as of Friday, 11:59 pm (my clock on the wall time). Hmmm, that's not divisible by 5, because
Crazy Dog & Atrocities are still entitled to 2 more and 1 more vote respectively. Send 'em in, and I'll tack 'em on
The Modding community is strong with this bulletin board, nearly 30% of all votes were cast in the
Modding Category.
The 5 strongest topics, as determined by raw # of votes are as follows...
#12, with 23 votes - Satelite Positioning
#29, with 16 votes - Mouse Wheel
#7+8, with 13 votes - More Damage Categories + Damage By Family Type
#1, with 12 votes - Intel/Research Generating Components
#22, with 10 votes - er.. I can't remember, back in a second with an edit.. oh yeah, System Randomizer
Furthermore there was a 3 way tie for 6th place, with 8 votes each were items
#14, 16, 23 .
Disappointingly
#30, Killer Attack Squirrels have faired quite poorly in this poll. They've been quoted as saying "Awww, nuts!" when asked about the poll. One leader in the squirrel community mentioned that they were initially encouraged by signs that rodents would be accepted in the Shrapnel Gaming community, when Suicide Junkie introduced the racial type "Pack Rat" in his acclaimed mod, P&N. "We were encouraged by the apparent recognition of our [minority] presence on the gaming site when it [pack rat] was included in the mod. The lack of votes for more Killer Attack Squirrels can only be seen as a rejection of our type here" he/she is quoted as saying. The Squirrel gaming subculture is expected to burrow their way into another gaming community, perhaps one less biased against rodents.
I'll give you another update on Tuesday.
