i would ask andy for an update, since you started this. and you may want to figure out which one is the best or most prestigious or will give CC the most visibility... great effort, we just need to pinpoint it and fine tune your idea like a "freakin' lazer beam", and we can win. i remember an effort a few months ago, and i think we got beat out on the final few days...
Of course I have read the thread, and I actually do agree with you to some extent. However, im unsure we will win if we dont offer incentives. Perhaps a high percentage of premium members and veterans will vote, but offering a couple of free speed games could potentially bring in a whole lot of freemium votes who wouldn't have cared to vote otherwise.
As for the best site to concentrate on... I think that would be MPOGD. It's one of the more known game databases out there, and therefore i think its the best choice as to attract new players. Voting for MPOGD can be done daily, and at the end of the month, votes get reset. The winner can't be voted on for a whole year. Or at least that used to be the case.
So, for the other months (why would we stop if we win on MPOGD?) i'd suggest voting on apexwebgaming. I say this because it seems its a daily vote. Everyday the vote counts gets reset, and there is a chance to be at the top on alot of different days. Also, the other games don't get a high number of votes, so without too much effort, we should already rank #1 daily! Hell, we could even do both MPOGD and apex at the same time.
Getting lack and the admins to back this idea up, would be a nice step in the right direction!
