You have to admit though, if you weren't so hard on Mass Effect at the end, it may have still won. I killed AC in spite, and I voted down Bioshock at the end significantly because I actually felt Bioshock was the worst on the list. You voted AC and Mass Effect down because they were leading, which is still within the rules, but IMO a bit unsporting.

This is why I made the poll. An end all vote.

So let me get this straight, I voted within the rules, passionately defending the game I felt should win, and that's unsporting, but you killing AC in spite and having a tantrum isn't?  Do you even hear yourself?! 

I wasn't hard on ME and AC because I hate them, I voted against them strategically... it's an elimination game.  And as far as being hard on them, I could just as easily argue that several people that voted for said games also voted down Bioshock consistently too (you included, by your own admission), which made me and a few others defend it all the more... it works both ways, dude.  Did I have a fit when Yo John kept voting Bioshock down?  No; it was part of his strategy and he wasn't being belligerent about it.  Did I cry foul when you consistently voted down Andrew Ryan until elimination in the Villians thread?  Nope, that's how it works.

If it's these kind of results you wanted you should've made a thread asking everyone to list their favorite HD third party games JUST ONCE in the first place, and then added up the totals in the end.

A few people here need to realize that this is just a silly game in the first place and unless, as I said before, someone is cheating, creating alt accounts to sway the votes, etc. come to the realization that not everyone shares the exact same opinion as you.

In any case I have no interest in partaking in any more of your threads/games.  Why don't you save yourself the trouble and just make a thread awarding Mass Effect the greatest game and Bioshock the worst, since that's apparently the only outcome you're content with?

You killed Mass Effect pre-maturely, you know it, and you did it just so Bioshock could come above it. Portal I still prefer over Assassin's Creed, and Batman comes close. I voted AC down because I know a lot of people love AC and I just wanted to point out the hypocracy. Even though Batman won, it isn't necessarily the best franchise, and this is just a game in the end.

Why I said your conduct was unsportsman was because about 9/10 of your votes were + Bioshock, and - Mass Effect or Assassin's Creed, despite other games being worse. I always voted down games I felt belonged off the list, and if you look back, I don't have any - Bioshock votes while Street Fighter was still alive (well it was on death row when I started downing Bioshock).

As for Villains, I voted down Andrew Ryan because I don't think anything special for Bioshock. Didn't play any games where I think the villain was worse off, and I can only speculate on guys like Ultros (FFXI). I pushed hard because if I didn't you would bring him back, and I don't feel he belongs in the top 50. This is different from downing people to ensure 1 villian/game won a thread, I positivly vote all games I feel are good, giving the most positive votes to games I feel deserve the most, and the most negative votes for games I felt deserved the most.

I made a poll because the top 5 franchises were eliminated within 3 hours of each other, and at the end of voting, people like you made sure to vote every 3 hours to garentee their game a position. It's allowing bias, and I'm really curious to see which game people respect the most. If I made a poll right away, how would I know which games to include? This thread was awesome! If the Wii threads ends in a close call like this I will make a poll too. I mean the PS3 thread had God of War win with over 30 votes left, that thread didn't need a poll, THIS WAS A CLOSE FINISH.

I'm not a fan of Bioshock, but it came 4th, and your not the only one who voted for it. I have no hate for the franchise, just when there were only 10 games left, I felt Bioshock was the worst. I was being fair, and although you did play within the rules, you did sqew the results. It's like playing basketball and shooting against your team. It's within the rules, but not sportman conduct.
