How to find out your game's votes
Or... How to Hack the AGS Games Page. The games pages don't show you a ranking if there are less than 5 votes, but you can get around this by hacking another game's vote detail page. For example: http://www.bigbluecup.com/games.php?action=votedetail&game=478 is Princess Marian V, which has 6 votes and so has a link, but Princess Marian X doesn't yet have enough votes, but look up its game detail and you find that it is game number 782, so hey presto change the end of the link: http://www.bigbluecup.com/games.php?action=votedetail&game=782 and you reveal the votes so far!
Awesome! Next time I release a game and just HAVE to know what people think before lots of them vote, I'm going hacking! :D
