Title: Maggies: Your favourite MAGS game 2003
Post by: Klaus on Thu 05/02/2004 10:11:59
You remember the MAGS competitions in 2003? All together 26 games entered the contests and offered a great range of amusement, humour and entertainment. To celebrate all the contestants and to bring all those games back to your minds and on your screens again here's "Maggies".

We don't want to judge about best graphics, best character or other best categories - there's already a famous award for doing this. "Maggies" just wants to know what's your favourite MAGS game of 2003. It's up to you to decide what's most important: Graphics, gameplay, idea, interpretation of the MAGS rules, whatever...

The voting period will run two long weeks until February 19th. So there's still time for you to play all the games that you missed until now. So here we go.

What is your favourite MAGS game 2003?

For voting please visit the MAGS site (http://www.mags-competition.tk). There you also can find all links for downloading the games. Of course better do this before you vote :)

If you know which game should get your voice you can also make your choice right here.
Attention: The game that you click on will get your voice!
Please vote only once and now enjoy this reprise of 2003.

Those links, do they lead to game descriptions or are they the voting links?

Edit: nevermind, it said so in your text. Maybe you can make that part bold, so other people who click first and read later don't vote to quickly  ;D

Just to warn everyone that they have two days left

We have a problem here: Most of you remember the "trouble" we had in September (http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?board=9;action=display;threadid=8201;start=msg107202#msg107202). Now history is repeating! Again someone wants to earn some extra points.  >:(

Of course these are deleted.  The person doesn't need to say "it was me" or try to make any excuses as for me I won't be that kind this time... For all the others: Good luck - there's still one day left for voting.

Given that there are a few mortal enemies in the vote and that multiple votes from the same IP might actually be someone trying to get an opponent disqualified... maybe just the multi-votes from the same IP may be discounted, unless there is a confession...?

There was a voting link posted on irc... so this might be it..

From a unique IP only one vote can be given at all. This is not the problem but thanks for the comment.

Where it's posted isn't important - it can be tracked by the system.

It doesn't matter which game wants to earn extra votes. It's about fair play as I already said last time...

Okay now. Just some more hours and this vote will come to its end.
