Re: [android-developers] Re: Finally, I published my Android/GAE based MMO War Game

I installed the game. After installation there was a text box "suggesting" to give 5 stars for the game to be the first game to have a 5 star rating.
I gave 1 star. I don't like to be "manipulated" to giva a good rating. Uninstalled it.

Hey Zero,

Any idea on how Pocket Empires has managed to go from a zero in the
rankings to number 25 in less than a few weeks?  Seems a little
questionable to me based on the amount of spam being left on all of
the other top 50 apps and games promoting your game.  More
questionable still is the near constant amount of positive 5 star
feedback being left on Pocket Empires itself with nearly the same
content.  I'll stop short of accusing the own Pocket Empires team of
purposely manipulating the Android market ratings system in order to
promote the game, but it seems very suspicious and, might I say, a bit
slimy and underhanded.
