The most amazing browser-based game EVER made!

"The application Rawkets by would like the ability to access and update your data on Twitter. Sign out if you want to connect to an account other than ________."

Not _necessarily_ damning, but it certainly does look suspicious, doesn't it?

Sorry, I deleted my post because I was being unfair. I did some poking around and saw that the application developer had posted on twitter asking for upvotes if people liked the application.

I could see that causing something that looks like sockpuppetry even though it was not.

I'm the developer of the game and I can assure you that Twitter is only used to assign a username to your rocket. If I ever add the ability to tweet from the game I would ask for your explicit permission each time.

Icey, I only asked people to vote if they like the game. They get nothing out of it if they do, and I'm not forcing them. I jokingly said they may get a hug if they did, so shoot me if that's illegal.
