Do me a big favor?!?

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...

Big Orc Man

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.

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!

Paha

Visit and vote every day. Not a big thing.
