Yeah, I appreciate your reply to the voting concerns with the contest, but please tell us who exactly is judging, and if you are open to get outside non-biased judges, I would trust anyone well known from valve, or id, or ea games or anyone, even a mod leader from a popular source mod(NOT GARRYS MOD, OBVIOUSLY).
I would at least like to learn who the judges are, and if you would be willing to get other judges from valve, id, epic or some widely known company. Please note, my original email made no mention of online voting, because just like in florida '00 and iowa'04 widespread eletronic voting fraud exists. nick On Fri, Dec 4, 2009 at 5:20 AM, Garry Newman <garrynew...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yeah voter fraud is what I'm trying to avoid.
