    Might be worth putting out an email to the 46000 list warning everyone the vote is available..

    Shouldn't be too spammy if its not saying *vote for ns2* !

    And who cares if it is... vote for ns2 :P

    I'd like another email!

    NS2 deserves to use its existing community for an annual popularity reward.

    That website confuses me. You vote... so you can vote?

    There's a couple of "phases" where you have to vote, and they narrow down the number of titles each time. It's currently at 100 and after this vote it goes down to 10.

    Also, a reminder to register before voting. Non-registered votes only count in cases of ties.

    He has a point, minecraft is extremely popular, I'd be rather surprised if it doesn't win. I think at best you could get NS2 into the top ten.

    I was surprised Minecraft was filed under "released". It's still isn't nearly feature complete and multiplayer is just barely beginning to work. Markus (the game creator) is calling it alpha, so....?

    Eh, whatever. It will probably get a lot of votes just the same.

    Why does everyone keep going on about Minecraft. It may be an amazing game but that's irrelevant to this thread because you can vote for more than one game. This is an NS2 board, we shouldn't be debating the allocation of our vote, we should be voting for NS2 and then voting for other games we love as well.

    Anyway, if you look at the award as recognition of independent development effort, rather than point scoring games on gameplay, graphics, sounds, etc etc then the collective development effort that has gone into NS2 far exceeds that of Minecraft.

    And I'm betting NS2LOL is baron_bad_egg is Impatient21. We must stop feeding him.

    crispix u're being a bit immature here...

    i was just saying the game isn't near completion yet.... so this year it shouldn't b ns2... next year or the year after yea, if it recaptures ns1....<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    And I never said that it was near complete, did I? I agree with you, the game isn't near completion. There's still a lot of work for the game become more playable, and feature complete. The community needs to expand more, and that will definately happen once it goes on Steam.

    But I guess to bring up Minecraft in an NS2 forum really isn't really helping this thread. I wouldn't even consider Minecraft to be a game, but more of virtual lego. It's just for users to create voxel worlds, that's pretty much it, or atleast what the majority of players are doing right now. Anyways, I'm beginning to be a bit hypocritical, because now you've got me mentioning Minecraft. I already know that game will do well, but lets focus on making NS2 succeed for those who want to vote it for Indie Game of the Year.

    I voted for about 6 different indies. I'd love to see Natural Selection 2 win of course, but it isn't the only worthy competitor.

    Mine is bigger, so what?
    Anyway, I have voted for NS2 on RTS category and Overgrowth in adventure category. Both games are incredibly good.

    What I have to mention is the good part on this awards, the indie developers are getting more and more recognition which will lead to a better game industry, therefore better games for us.

    Even there are some games that where released several years ago, but they are in the contest.

    NS2, Overgrowth and minecraft are 3 games that have something in common (there are more), it's community helps to keep them alive and the 3 share a large portion of the same players in their communities. I know a lot of people that have 2 or the 3 games and that is just impressive.

    Of course I want NS2 win on it's category, and probably be the most voted game, but I'm happy to see the recognition on the indie developers.

    Ok, I mostly cleaned the thread and banned him. I left a few posts which covered other topics, but please, carry on.

    Well, you could always sign up for a few quick hushmails.

    I can't find Natural Seleciton 2 on the list anywhere (Not in FPS, strategy, tactical shooter..etc. Not under any of the tabs). It isn't in any genre when you look it up (guess i will have to vote for minecraft then)

    Seems an odd placement, it's more FPS than RTS surely.
