A friend of mine is trying to get into this invitational to play at a rather large event. It's a chance to put himself before a broad audience in the Chicago area and perhaps jumpstart his DJ career.
Sadly, like all things in entertainment, it's a popularity contest, so he needs people to vote for him.
He is a great musician and a talented DJ and I am asking you all to log onto the site, sign up for an account, and vote for him everyday for the next two weeks!
The website is:
http://do312.com/wavefrontinvitational/teig
After the contest is done, I'll send a reminder for everyone to delete their accounts.
I really appreciate it if you guys do this, he really deserves it!
Also, if you can convince people in other places to vote, that would be excellent.
Thanks, guys!
How much XP for this?
+1'd :P
The track there is nice. ;)
You owe me one prelude.
The soundtrack crashed after 3 seconds. No vote now.
Got your back. Nerdsquad to the rescue.
QuoteOver the past few years, his tastes have become darker
woah
+1'd May his claim to fame be abrupt and easy.
Beat me at starcraft and I shall vote 10 times,
Everyone who is voting, thanks so much! It's a really big deal if he gets this.
Also, here is my reminder that you can vote once a day, so... it is day two! Vote again plzkthx!!!
voted
ugh
Voted once. Ready for more.
Voted.
It is day three! Time for more voting!
Though honestly, even with the help, looks like he's gonna have to find votes elsewhere! He's about 30 votes per day behind the #1 spot...
Make a plea on Reddit /r/music maybe?
OK, so I will be pissed off if I went to all the trouble to register an account and vote for this dude and he doesn't win. So, damn it EFU, let's make him win.
And besides, I've been listening to his tunes while toolsetting for YOU and it's good stuff.
Voted
I voted 2x from two acc.
My thanks to you Jayde Moon, nor have I hoped I'd get such a sword and shield, epic!
Well its time to rock the vote, spam accounts and win it for him. *Gets ready for the late night crunch of email account making and voting*
I voted and passed it on around to some Faculty. Hopefully he can pick a few up
That's the least I can do as a thank you for all the awesome you bring to EFU as a DM.
I'm on it !
Voted!
voted, GL teig!!!!
Vote!
Voted :)
keep voting peeps
Looks like he's 5th atm. Need more votes!
I did my +1, sorry for being a week late
This voting is hard work.
Don't forget that if you have multiple e-mail accounts you can register more than one user, assuming that isn't against the rules (?).
Alright... he's gotten to within 150ish votes again... We may be able to propel him ahead.
If he wins, I will get together with my cohorts and think of something suitably fun and all inclusive that we can rock the server with.
Maybe an arena event or something similar, at a time that accomodates the most people...
We can make it happen!
Made about 3 five minute mails and voted even more. Forwarded this to another board.
Well, I forgot about this for a couple days, but I went ahead and joined in on the bribery mass voting!
Voted once again more again again. Keep voting! Don't wimp out! Create a Facebook page if you have to... to convert the masses.
Voted, surprisingly quick and easy to do.
Voted again x 15
Lets do this!
Just got home from Poland yesterday, so wasn't able to vote before but now I am chipping in. Go teig!
Wow, back to 3rd place and only 120 behind. If he can keep yesterday's momentum up, he can totally win this!
Also, ppl, you can ask your buddies to vote also! Tell them you need them to do you a favour, so you can do someone else a favour, so he can do his friend a favour :)
Teig > BigOrcMan
Only ONE vote for him to hit second place! VOTE PEOPLE!

Special new track... thanks to everyone who is voting. He's been pushed to second place... surely we can do this!!!
If you don't want to waste your time making emails, you can use this to make disposable email accounts to make more accounts on their site and vote instantly.
http://10minutemail.com/10MinuteMail/index.html
I wonder if there was any contest rules about encouraging or using people voting multiple times from separate e-mails.
But he is much closer to winning than I saw yesterday!
What they don't know won't hurt them. :u
I'm sure it's against the rules, ultimately... but I also think there isn't a person in the running who doesn't have fans that realized they could do that, then did it, THEN wondered if that might be cheating...
Voted for his competitor.
Just checked the rules section:
If you or your friends create multiple accounts (or try to use bots to vote for you), it’s cheating, and we will disqualify those votes. So please, don’t waste your time or ours by cheating.
Another day another vote. Get in there!

That just made things a lot more exciting. Who might truly be in the lead...

It says: "you or your
friends". The thing is, we are not his friends, we don't even know this guy. So the rule doesn't apply to us. Nobody except Jayde Moon is cheating.
Now Jayde Moon, aren't you ashamed? Is that a correct example to give the playerbase considering you are a DM?
To be safe, you need a proxy with a different IP for every vote you make with a different email. Otherwise it's just too simple for them to exclude all ''fake'' votes.
If they are really sophisticated and do nasty things to filter out bad votes, you might also want to cycle your votes with different mac addresses, clear cookies and switch off javascripts.
If these two things are changed, they can't possibly filer out fake votes unless they follow some predictable pattern over time (like a burst of 150 votes at 2PM which directly cuts with the normal ''vote pattern over the day'')
It seems a half-savvy computer geek could set up such a ''clean'' fake voting system and make a nice pile of cash by selling his services.
Just keep voting! Yes you! Just you, and not your legion of fake accounts!
We can win by being nice :D

I have created only a single account and vote once per day.
There is nothing wrong with recruiting friends and communities to vote for a guy.. It's how it works. It's the whole idea of getting individual users to take part. It's different if a single guy creates a hundred accounts on throw-away emails and makes 100 votes in a day.
Plus I beat some of the EFU players who voted didn't like the song much or didn't even listen to it. So in a sense that would be cheating also. The thing is, it works just the same for the other competitors. It's not about the best music, it's about who gets the most support... So who cares :D
BTW, my last post was a joke in case someone didn't notice :)
With that said, I shall contact my legion of, ahem, "lady friends", who will be only too happy to help me in this. They would be voting all day if I asked them so. Yeah.
We are in the lead! Guys, if we make this guy win, I will certainly force JaydeMoon to labor away at making some kind of tournament and shower the winners with loot.
The idea of flexing the nerdy muscles of EFU amuses me... so go vote!
Visit and vote every day. Not a big thing.
choo-choo train of votes. about a 100 coming in by today, guaranteed. :>
10 minute mail is p. great for these kinds of things.
I personally think now if we make teig win, he must start playing EFU with us and start EFURadio, your favorite tones such as "Nasty bog with bugs" and "Oh fuck, that was the sound of blur and now it's battle" in a new fresh remix.
When does it end?
It was alot but he's in the lead now. Vote to keep him that way. :>
Vote,
Or the rage of the red Zango shall be unleashed D:<
He does not yet know the extent of aid he is receiving from this shifty gaming community.
Should they actually dock 'cheat' votes and discover that pool is responsible for like, a bajillion votes... I don't want him to see where the tainted votes all came from.
Should he win, I shall link him to this page and he shall know that the might of EfU has aided his meteoric rise to Chicago Superstardom.
Ha Ha Ha
Time to vote again
He's losing by one vote. Time to change that.
I encourage other people to help me. :>
put 10 more votes, but his competitor is starting to get more.
#needhelp
Are you telling me you're making several accounts, Pool?
Quote from: Paha;333970Are you telling me you're making several accounts, Pool?
No.
I told plenty of friends of mine that are unique individuals of their own sort that aren't me, in unique places such as:
Brazil
China
Ukraine
Illinois
Washington
Ohio
Texas
South Korea
Mexico
and other places.
;)
lol we need to keep him in the first 2 spots. it's the only way to make certain that he gets a chance to at least play once in front of a live crowd because of this and then maybe play again at the festival!!

My friends are way better than yours. Not only do they have their own email adresses, but also I always have them with me and they are invisible. Only I can see them :p
I just casted my vote. Don't forget today!
Vooooooote!
Crammed another 10 votes in.
Ahead, but only by five votes...
I'll fix that. :u
VOTE 4 VICTORY
To add to your motivation, if teig wins I'll make an effort to run a gladiator style prelude in the next week. I can't guarantee my schedule will perfectly line up since a lot is happening, but I'll make a very sincere effort to get that ball rolling for those who may be interested.
Eggcelent! Let the voting begin en masse! +1
A new day a new vote get out there people!
"I seriously cannot believe it. I'm almost in first place! I'm blown away by the support I've been given from fans and friends alike. I'm almost at a lost for words just breaking INTO first place! Although the fight is not over, I just want to say thanks for everything you guys have done for me. I know a lot of you went balls to the wall the spread awareness, annoying your own friends who couldn't care less, and more. So guys, really, just wanna say thanks, and keep up the good work. Really feeling blessed here." teig - 7 may 2013.
Dat teig be thankful. Feel good about yourselves, voters!
He behind by 10! Two days of voting left, go go go!!!
Fucking vote!!!!

You are welcome teig, you are welcome. You must win because your track is the best, even if I haven't listened to one bit of it :D
No, seriously, I listened to his track and I liked it, specially from 3:35 to 7:20 :)
Ahead again, but let's not let our guard down!
Just dropped the 1300th vote, and we're ahead by ~80 votes! Good work, fellows!
Oh. I've been slacking. I'll pile on some by today.
Whoops. :U
8 MORE HOURS OF VOTING. DON'T FAIL
We are so close we have put so much work into it that we need to finish it!!!
KEEP VOTING
Did we win...?
WOOT!
Hey, I think we won. Great celebration!
Flexing those big nerd muscles right now.
lol yeah now the rest is on him!!!!
great success
Let's wait for a final confirmation before celebration.... but, regardless, very nice job guys indeed!
The EFU Community is so cool. :)
I hope we won. Liked the tune as well.
Hey guys. :)
Jayde Moon is a friend of mine IRL, and linked me to this thread literally 20 minutes ago. First of all, you guys are fucking awesome. To support me so hard when you don't even know me is like, the epitome of kindness. I can't say thanks enough. You guys were definitely a contributing force in this, and just...
haha, thanks. I mean, I'm still really blown away by how much all these different people came together to support me. I'm really at a loss for words. So I can't let you guys down now, right?
So I'm planning on not just being that DJ who mixes song to song. I'm working on a brand new way to mix music seamlessly and uniquely, so that it's impossible for anyone to duplicate what I do live. I just finished up with school, so yes, you can imagine I'm going to be spending about 8 hours a day every day until this next step at Castle basically putting it all together. I plan on releasing new music live at that show, in a non-traditional format, and more.
I don't want to like, essay out too much here, but just know that I'm so super excited to finally have a chance in the (horrendously incestuous) music scene in Chicago and that I appreciate you guys from the very bottom of my heart.
If I ever meet you guys IRL, just let me know, and I'll buy you a drink or something. :)
Thanks again,
teig
A'ight Chicago and WI crew ... you know what this means, right? Now we need to make a show of force at his show ;)
Wish I could go. Hope it goes really well.
Congratulations teig. Good luck with your music!

Did. he. WIN?!
Sadly no. He should've though. I'm almost afraid to find out the two that did. I have a sneaking hunch it's the two I thought were the worst.
Sadly no. He should've though, IMO. I have a sneaking hunch that one of the ones I really didn't like made one of the two spots.
He played one helluva set ^_^
That is FUCKED.
WHAT.
WE WON THAT FAIR AND SQUARE.
