Hey folks-
Turbine is defending its title third year in a row over at Escapist Magazine. Please head on over and show your support as a fan in the Turbine Vote! Also, there's a huge upset going on this year with a company called Zynga that produces the game Farmville. If you could vote against them (twice if you use your twitter to tweet your vote against Zynga too!), that would assure Turbine a third victory as the Top Game Developer of 2010 (according to March Mayhem at EscapistMagazine.com)
Below is a copy of the post I submitted on the main mmorpg forums. The links should help you navigate to the contest and the tweet-instructions. Vote for Turbine AND even more importantly, vote against The Machine aka "Zynga!" Viva la DDO!

Hey gamers-
The March Mayhem 2010 is going on at escapistmagazine.com and there's a huge upset about to happen. The makers of Farmville (Zynga) have scored immense legions of voters for their facebook app game!!! What's more, Infinity Ward, the makers of Modern Warfare, are about to get trounced by this app-building developer. The numbers are 2:1 in favore of Farmville.
As gamers, gamers that game on all levels, I'm asking you all to take a moment and check out Escapist Magazine's March Mayhem. You don't have to vote for my favorite developer (Turbine) but you could be the vote that makes the difference in this Zynga upset! Or maybe I have this audience totally pegged wrong and you guys really love the idea of Farmville's developer winning as Best Developer 2010 March Mayhem?
Also, if you really want to game it, you can vote twice using your twitter account! Follow these instructions once you've registered at Escapist to vote!

If Zynga wins this year it will just prove what I have said the last two years. This vote means nothing. Turbine winning last year was the biggest joke of all time.
Valve is the only company I would vote over Turbine but since they wasted the last couple of years making stupid zombie games instead if Episode 3 Im not sure anymore...
Its cool that Turbine have stated that they are not going to promote the voting like last years.
If WoW = The Beatles
and WAR = Led Zeppelin
Then LotrO = Pink Floyd
Yeah. We're kind of asking Turbine (pleading) at this point for them to launch a News Announcement (and thus affect the launcher) because Zynga's Farm Animals are trouncing every event with 5-6K worth of votes. The competition is fierce and no one has shown that they have the voting power to take down Zynga. Escapist Loyalists and Turbine Fans combined aren't enough players voting to make this happen! We need the launcher to reach everyone.

Last year Turbine made promises in regards to the voting and they failed to live up to their end. I play DDO but I would never vote Turbine as my favorite Developer.
Here is a quick apdate. Bracket 2 is over and both Turbine and Zynga are through to the next round. Zynga narowly sore off Infinity ward and have been drawn against Rockstar North. Turbine beat Platinum games (not by much) and go up against Square Enix in round 3. If both devs get through to the next round they will face each other ...dun DUN DUNNN!!!!. I encourage anybody already registerd with the Escapist to get in there and vote now. New accounts can't vote unfortunatly.
