hahahahah!!
pretty sure spoon just did the coolest thing on the entire internet for the day.
if you really wanna fuck the system vote josephine park to the lead. it's not like they're gonna negate her votes, and then they get screwed with the least popular choice.
Great idea, but nothing much seems to have come of it, it looks like they're just going to ignore the exploit. I like how "Do not select this answer" has 0 votes, which is also recorded as 60% of the vote.
Perhaps somebody should email them being like "lol...surely you see the point?"
Crazy! Well they deleted the votes for Spoon. I appreciate the gesture into showing them that the system is hackable. But I don't think they're going to listen. They've probably already traced it back to this website and forum. Who knows. Unfortunately it looks like they're going to continue forward like nothing happened. I asked the editors that all 3 covers get put inside as winners, and that they as editors pick their favorite. I'd rather lose that way then have them ignore that there was a cheater.
Thanks again for everyones votes. I don't think it's over yet. Maybe we can catch up. Maybe a freeroll password is the answer. Maybe I shouldn't care. Either way, it's been an interesting week.
Thanks again for the FTR support.
Assuming they're cheating we can't catch up- when we get close, they magically get more votes.
voted again. only 250 or so behind now.
ya until we pull ahead again and they run their spoonitnow bots
where's bankitdrew when you need a good bot?
only 59 behind after my vote from home
Negative one percent of the vote now for "Do not select this answer".
it's pretty simple, someone needs to visit the page every ~15-20 minutes taking screenshots with your computers clock up, then you can prove that the other person got like 500 votes in a matter of 10 minutes.
another option would be to use spoon's hack and give nate's competitor like 10k votes thus causing them to get dq'ed.
good ideaQuote:

I like this closer to deadline day, however it's really easy for to counter attack it by votespamming usQuote:

If they recognize what we're doing. Also, if the contest holders would DQ someone on those grounds.Quote:

I agree. No more colluding, just valid votes! We can win it the legit way. Just spread the word, vote when you can, and pray the competitor takes the high road and allows the real votes to count. Thanks for spreading the word and for the support. We'll see what happens tomorrow.
The editors say they have been monitoring the results and have seen it go back and forth, so they are going to keep the contest going on those grounds. But they also said each of us get a little profile inside the magazine, so in that way, everyone wins a little. Nice gesture. Thanks everyone.
Up by 34, gogogo!
honestly with regards to a magazine cover I feel yours in the best and it's not even close. It is much more attention grabbing, the colors are better, and the others seem more suited as the first picture of an article, not as a cover.
let's nuke the offending posts.Quote:

I also note that the "don't select this answer" has now been returned to 38, which if I'm not mistaken is what it was before spoon started bombing it.
Christina is starting to move
lol.. spoon.
We're ahead again, but only by a small margin. ONE MORE NIGHT AND ONE MORE DAY TO VOTE!
It was made to 0 but I hit it again to show how the script worked for someone.Quote:

I'm afraid it's a bit too late to custom-configure a freeroll just for this -- getting a poker room rep to take money from an account and put it into the prize pool for a $0 buy-in tournament.
I'm with you. But you don't know Nate. He will always take the high road.Quote:

These contests are a great way for them to get advertising and a cover for next to nothing. I don't think they care who wins as long as it's not completely horrible.
I can't see the actual vote count but we're ahead by 4%. Keep 'em coming! Today's the last day.
voted again on my mobile. +246
Just made my last possible vote, up by 245. Good luck
voted again, I think i did 12 total, we are up by 250 or so
voted again from work.
SpoonitToday imo
voted my last vote, up by 307.
spoon 4 mod! oh wait...
Voted again today!
I can't see the picture spoon posted near the top of the page, what happened? Did spoon change one of the options to himself? Then push him self to #1?
There's a "Do Not Select This Answer" option, which spoon gave 10,000 votes.
It didn't let me vote for what I'm sure was more than 24 hours, but I've put in what must be my allowed vote. Best of luck!
And if you ever again need a large-ish group of people who get overly competitive easily, you know where to find us ;)
+399 not too shabby, fellas.

I liked the idea of putting a picture of the vote count with a time stamp as proof if Christina tries anything fishy...so here's mine.
Eastern Time
i just made it 3449
You should all be ashamed of yourselves for associating a poor innocent boy with online gambling. And for trying to solicit votes from people whose first language isn't English. This isn't some multi-cultural funzone, people, this is Christina's magazine contest.
ok ...we are ....did you vote?...........OMG check my post count associated with this reply that I'm now associating with this poor innocent kid.
Voted. Good luck.
:O! Finally proof that either Koreans or poker are evil.Quote:

Thinly veiled link building scheme for FTR??? :wink: The comments are pretty funny though.
3508 to 3077
last vote for me
gl
Server error. They're currently rigging it.
Vote +10. Wouldn't be surprised to see Christina have a miracle comeback at like ~11:55. :roll:
We're up by ~500 guys. Keep the votes coming. Don't quit now in the home stretch. I'm guessing 4.5 more hours to go!!!
I've been voting when my busto computer has allowed it. We're still ahead by ~500... GLGL!!!
Looks like votes are at a standstill. WOOT WOOT.
A big thank you to everyone! Your votes were definitely appreciated. I still don't get why they couldn't just be nice and say positive things about who they were voting for. Thanks again! Hope to see you all in Vegas!
Gentlemen, we've done the impossible. We've won an internet poll!
Nice work, everyone! You are all competitive freaks.
It's the Interwebs. People can't resist the e-drama.Quote:

FTR is the new 4chan?
I won but they cheated. :(
you won, by helping nate win :DQuote:

This is rigged, I had over 10k votes deleted!
I want a tutorial on how you did it.
It's ridiculously easy. There's a script floating round, just use google.

The reason it works is that the polling plug-in uses two pieces of information to try to keep duplicate votes going in. The first is a cookie (which the script makes and then dumps over and over so it's useless), and the second is checking IPs. The problem is that it doesn't actually ever check what IP the request came from, just the IP you tell it the request is coming from in the headers you send.
So the script is basically like ohai I'm random.random.random.random where random is 0-255 and the script is like okay your vote counts.
Congrats Nathan
hooray for FTR being more than a useless bunch of degens!
congrats Nathan, best cover won!
