Konami is going to be a tough opponent. Too long a history for them..

Yep. I don't expect to win but we have to make a respectable showing

Well, I voted Still, you guys only got one game out and made it to round 2, which isn't bad at all. Konami beat what, GPG I think? Bit of a mis-match there.

Yeah good luck guys, there's been some real gems from Konami but then they don't have the relationship with their western customers like you guys have.

+1 for IRONCLAD!

And Annatar, I'm talking the multi account spam rescure protocol??? Do we have a green light?

LOL

You on the NEW page for the votes???

We aren't taking this one against the Konami juggernaut but more votes are needed to make it respectable. Vote here: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/375.100710

I think there are a lot more sinners than people realize. In my group of friends alone we have close to 10 people that get together nearly every weekend and play Sins, and none of us play on ICO. Out of my group though I'm likely the only one voting...

edit: Mmmmm I guess technically not true on the ICO thing. We use it to host our games but we only play amongst ourselves.

Ok its like 1400 to 700. We just need to double our votes in the next few hours and we have a chance! Go team! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

ANNATAR!! GIVE ME THE GET GO!!!

lol

If you can bribe Blair to say yes...

Go team!

Save money

But seriously, wouldn't people notice what is going and vote for Ironclad, it will make Ironclad more known to the world and probably bring in more income because of that, it will make sins popular even more.

the round is still open and i just voted for IC.

funny thing is i never even heard of Konami or of one of their games and i startet playing PC games back in 1992

Have you been meditating in a temple with a computer, waiting for the game of destiny to appear before you for all of these years, and it happened to be sins? [e digicons]o_O[/e] I voted for IC, but come on, how do you not even HEAR of Konami? You go into any arcade in the US and you'll see some of their games, as well as any house with an active consol gamer.

i never was in any US arcade because i live in the EU

konami ain't the big player for pc-gaming thus i find the whole contest to be a bit unfair to match console vs. pc gaming as console clearly has the larger player-base.

i pretty much sucked up all games released by blizzard, valve and micropose/firaxis over the past 15 years.

now IC joined them because i am 100% certain to suck up all games with the name "sins" in it

sins of a solar m*st*rb...ah nevermind.
