For having such an 'overrated' day vote, Sonic is making mincemeat out of Crono right now. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

It's because Crono has such a bad day vote. --- Currently Playing: Final Fantasy XII, Tales of the Abyss, King of Fighters 2002/2003 |

Heh, nice update there. Good to see my calling a massive day vote win
by Sonic came true. Shame there was 1 or 2 people that disagreed. Seems
as though a few people have no concept of voting trends. TuRtLe ~~~ 81/88 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

Why haven't people yet grasped that Ceej has walls in place that stop
stuffing before they ever appear in the actual poll results? Every vote
now goes through an automatic screening process to ensure that they are
coming from an IP which has not yet submitted a vote. That's why a few
people were so easily disqualified last contest even though people in
contests prior had probably voted twice and still won. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

Ceej seems to be catching cheat votes before they even go through nowadays, so I don't think we'll be getting votes taken off. --- "A strong man doesn't need to read the future. He makes his own." - Solid Snake "I'll show you what true speed really is!" - Sonic |

"coming from an IP which has not yet submitted a vote" That still leaves room for cheating. --- If this post was overly verbose, that means I tried very hard to not call you an idiot. If you mark someone for flaming/trolling, you probably deserved it. |

That still leaves room for cheating. My assumption is that he also has it set to make sure it doesn't match any known proxy IPs. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

I'm not saying there is cheating, though I wish some would be found in Sonic's favor, I'm saying that for all the safeguards ceej puts in place this is still the internet, and there's still a way. --- If this post was overly verbose, that means I tried very hard to not call you an idiot.

Utter destruction. At this rate it won't matter even if Ceej says there
was stuffing at the end, Sonic will just be up by too much. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

wow. okay, I'm saying it - Crono's day vote is FF6-esque. this is pitiful. how can you be this strong and suck this much in the day? this isn't Sonic kicking ass in the day, he couldn't even do that to Vincent. something happened to Crono this year. --- zizzy |

That doesn't mean that he can catch everything. Sadly, it probably does mean that anything that does get through won't be detected and removed later on. Well yeah, I'm sure a few get through one way or another. And I also have no idea how he handles votes from IPs that are dial-up users that use AOL. Your IP changes every time you sign on, and it's possible to get an IP that someone else had earlier in the day. But still, I doubt any large-scale cheating gets through. He probably does a scan manually to make sure that there was no voting from a proxy he didn't know about, and the AOL method only matters if the match is like Frog vs MC. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

I know, but I'm just saying that the chances are very low for someone to successfully cheat and if they do manage, it probably won't be on a large enough scale to effect the results. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

Sonic's going be up by well over 1000 before Crono can do anything. I've never understood why that whole 50/50 handoff thing even happens. It makes more sense that the incoming votes wouldn't really be affected by the fact that the two competitors happen to have the same current number of votes. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

He probably does a scan manually to make sure that there was no voting from a proxy he didn't know about Multiple votes from the same proxy isn't the problem (that seems to be how Luster got caught and axed the second time). The problem is basically if someone has a bunch of different IPs they can vote from. I doubt Smurf has an army of zombie PCs or anything, but it's possible. --- ....TCELES B HSUP |
