Hmmm, perhaps I called it too soon. Though I have to admit those to really terrible updates scared the crap out of me. Hopefully he can start making meaningful cuts within the next 30 minutes before going on his 10:30 push.

If Frog doesn't at LEAST keep these small stalls going then there isn't much hope. I guess Axel could get busted for cheat votes but there's been no noticable patterns of it so far, really.

Frog really can't afford to bleed out any more votes at this time... because that would just mean it's going to take that much longer for him to start winning updates consistently (if he ever does), and the margin is obviously increasing. He needs to go in an absolute deadlock right now or start winning, any bleeding of votes, no matter how small are detrimental to him at this point.

...and as I say that Axel gains 21. Alright, it's over, it's been fun, but time for me to stop watching this thing. Only chance Frog has is if Axel gets votes removed for cheating, and I seriously doubt it.

Nobody expected Frog to start cutting back until about 10:30.

But nobody expected Frog to let Axel get this much of a lead in the time he was supposed to be stalling. It's not out of the question, but for once I'm going to have to unstick my guns.

No. Either way, I'm throwing the link into a feedback ticket and asking if anything can be done about referral links. It's technically just a faster way of rallying on other websites, but it's still a script and should be considered cheating. And I'm 95% sure I know who made it, too.

Good idea. Nice catch, Ulti.

At this point I want Axel to win just for upset awesomeness, and the fact that Axel is WAY more awesome than Frog. Screw my bracket.

Chamek | Posted 9/5/2007 7:13:45 PM | message detail
That "boy/girl" routine could be happening similarly for Axel though, and could've been part of his push earlier. It doesn't explain Frog's inconsistency in number of votes per update--that would have to be the work of a single person or small group of persons. And even if it were contributing to the match, the amount of votes it would bring would be negligible considering how few people will actually find that poll and cast votes in it. It may have even been created by an Axel supporter in hopes of getting more votes removed from Frog than the total amount that he'll receive from those utilizing the poll. I mean, really, how many people do you think will actually find that and vote in the 2-3 hour time-span we have left in this poll?

True, but Phoenix was getting his ass kicked HARD. Obvious cheating is often not addressed if it doesn't affect the final outcome, see: Ganondorf/Yuna

I thought the only time action was taken was if an exuberant number of votes were coming from one place.

A script that tricks you into voting is going to have the votes coming from everywhere, and thus would be less likely to be picked up and the votes negated, correct?
