Eh I took too long writing this so Missed has already beaten your argument into the ground - making you look like a total idiot... I shall post anyway
As you said the post by Superman0X was made 15 days after the opening of this poll. For those 15 days, the Aeria community was not alerted to this poll at all, and consequently, you will see there is not much discussion on this thread for that time period. You will then notice around the middle/end of page 2, the Aeria voters start posting. Check the date of influx of new voters - 02 Jan right? This verifies that Aeria started advertising this poll in game and on the forums on this date on 02 Jan.
Ok now we look at the post by Superman0X

I will now highlight the main part which you have misinterpreted:
"Last edited by Superman0X

Ok, we now see that the last time that the post was edited was 3 hours later than the original post time - not after Roguefeebos post confirming there will be no prizes as you seem to think. According to your ideas of 'Aeria's evil master plan' *cue evil laugh*, I'm sure they offered prizes for 3 hours then edited! /sarcasm if you didn't notice. Spelling errors? bolding Shaiya on the voting list so it looks cool? Routine post edits, the same kind of edits that I will probably be making after I post this because I realised I left out some i's lower case, or if I was wondering if I should have used an apostrophe just then.
You are trying to make a big deal out of nothing.
PS: Whats with the hating against Missed just because she has the evidence that your speculations are complete lies? Get it into your head that some communities like to support their game
