SHACK/STRATEGY/POLL

Strategy

Isn't life just so much fun? Anyway, this strat is all about how to get Empire Earth polls to go your way, i.e. the "proper" way. =) So anyway, follow our steps and polls will go the way you want. For this example we'll take the current poll at EENC.

Anybody who visits EENC on a regular basis will notice their poll. At the moment the question is "What do you think of the layout?", one of the possible answers being "Sucks". So, why should we taunt them from afar, when we can get them to jeer themselves =)

Once you've voted for "Sucks" you'll realize that you only get one chance to vote, however, it's pretty easy to get around this.

For the site to know that you've already voted it must have something stored on your computer. Infact, it does, it's called a Cookie and these are an invasion of your personal privacy, monitoring what sites you go to, how long you stay and what you read among many other things. Follow these steps to remove the Cookie and make it possible to vote again:

  1. Close your browser.

  2. Open Windows Explorer and point it to "C:/Windows/Cookies/" or wherever your Windows folder is.

  3. Locate the Cookie "whatever@www.eenc[1].txt" and delete it.

  4. Now reload your browser and point it to EENC again, (a fast way to do this is to hold the windows button and press R, then type in www.eenc.net and hit enter)

  5. You'll notice that you are now able to vote again! Choose "Sucks" and click Submit Vote!

Repeat steps 1 - 5 over and over (you'll find you get into a rhythm) and soon the poll will go exactly the way you want it to. =)

Of course, I realise that this method could be used to turn the poll in favour of the layout, however, anybody who's going to want to go to this trouble in order to make someone happy is either gay or...a sad loner! However, anybody who's is going to go to all this trouble to piss someone off is obviously completly normal. Anyway, have fun!
