I agree with X, a MySQL driven PHP poll system would not be hard to write and could easily be made to be reusable.  Maybe not for this contest since that would delay voting for a bit, but I'm sure the next contest is coming right up!   :D

I think the best solution for the time being would be to use an external poll site.  They have protections for cheating and would allow non-members to vote (which I think is a good thing, it seems to me that there are at least a few lurkers).

I agree that we need to allow non-members to vote. My friends have played the games on my mac, and they want to vote for their favorites.
I swear, I didn't pay them to vote for me. maybe.

you can put a poll on blogspot. A GMG contest blog isn't a bad idea. Plus it's free.

I like the blog idea. But if you want a poll system made in PHP/MySQL, I know what I am doing and can make a simple poll system with spam/double voting protection.

I say go for it. Php fries my brain but if you make somethin good, that's better than using a generic poll.

Yeh PHP is a little unstructured and annoying, but I have been working as a web developer for a year so I am pretty confident with it. Although its not my favorite language by far haha.

What does everyone else think? Custom poll?

I finally got around to playing all of the entries. This was an awesome turnout with lots of great games, but I think Gangwars takes the cake. Can't wait to see the full release!

the only thing missing was the second city which i added in the update to complete the remake, so that is the full version. i may tweak stats at some point when i get a chance to play through it again

 i voted for hacksilver, it had three impressive new features, the sword fighting, field of vision, and ai pathfinding (hopefully we can get a tutorial of the pathfinding soon)

Voted for Gangwars, it's unfinished but still very well realized.

Please please don't do this. Also please please do not vote for yourself. This is a tiny forum so it would be easy for anyone to win by just telling all their friends to vote for them.

EDIT - btw can everyone who entered post here once they've voted? Not necessarily who they've voted for, just so we know that everyone who made a game has voted.

I agree with WarHampster, don't tell your friends to vote for a specific game.  You could tell them about the contest and urge them to play the games, but since most of them probably don't have macs it wouldn't be of much use.

Anyway, I voted for GangWars.  Hacksilver was a close second, there were some really cool gameplay mechanics but it wasn't as engrossing as GangWars.  All of the other games were good too.
