[QUOTE="Tharivious, post: 3888514, member: 28105"] That would be because the majority who had named their locations prior to this vote were located in south-eastern US, and the New York state contingent is fairly large (larger than was represented in the previous Q&A thread on locations). It's a natural response to assume that the option with the vocal majority would get the most votes, and to question the outcome when it turns out differently. And there would have been someone questioning the authenticity of the votes regardless of the outcome, just because this is something people will have to plan their savings for months in advance to attend - no one wants to travel farther than they have to based on a skewed result. There were suggestions to review the poll before it was even finalized. Also, note that it appears most mid-westerners didn't vote for their region, and that ISRP has many English players (and other Europeans, if I remember right). So the results won't be perfect reflections of the population maps. It all makes for a situation ripe for questioning. I don't know if there was intentional cheating or not, and it's ultimately irrelevant to me as I likely won't be attending regardless - but when matters of money and travel are involved, people will always question everything. :p [/QUOTE]
