You know I was thinking you should have the Achilles dragging the defeated Panzer IV around the walls of Troy in a victory lap while madly ringing the cowbell as a further insult...

Vance, I think Doogs has us all outsmarted by connecting our IP addresses with the votes, so stuffing the ballot box might be tough.  Unless you hop on a dozen or so public WiFi nodes.  That may work. 

I just tried to vote again.  Didn't let me, even after clearing my Internet cache and deleting all those damn "cookies".  Good thing, I was getting hungry.

 

Well.... If I was so inclined, there are 7 computers in this office other than mine, plus several people with Blackberries, and I've got an iPod Touch w/ browsing capability. If there are suddenly 10 extra votes for Achilles, you'll know what I've been up to at lunch today! Whistling

Vance,

That's ok. I voted on my laptop, my gaming rig, my iPad, my wife's iPad, our two iPhones and my Blackberry.  Does that constitute voter fraud?Smile

Sounds like full disclosure to me, so you're clear on the fraud charges. Voter tampering, however....

Thanks P38, considering the rate at which I build goofy comments are pretty much all I'm bringing to the forum.

 

BTW: If Manny shows up outside the gates of Troy with a large wooden horse - um flying wing, DO NOT TAKE IT INSIDE!!!

It's full of Greek cats that will break out in the middle of the night and burn down your city!!!

Alright...I'm going to call it in 1.5 hours...5 PM CST...so get your votes in if you haven't! C'mon, don't you want a free internets?

At the moment, the Achilles still leads with 16 votes, but the Panzer IV is within range at 11. Nothing else is really in contention.

Hi DoogsATX,

I also am currently in the dark-side, gotta say though, everyone is pretty friendly and willing to help. there is something about German aircraft and armour that keeps atracting me to them, maybe its the colour schemes, or is it the great designs, what ever it is go German.

The Achilles and the Pz-IV look good....  and seem to be the most popular vote-wise.

A build with both perhaps?

Enjoy the ride!
