[Watasha]

What the hell just happened??? Baylor got 4000 votes in like 20 minutes???

 

[OnceUponaTime]

I know!? We were up 1000....??????

I don't get it! Something doesn't seem right!

 

[OnceUponaTime]

What the hell just happened??? Baylor got 4000 votes in like 20 minutes???

I'm confused....

 

[Bill Bauer]

then on the last day of each round the other team's points shoot up.

I just voted. Then I checked, and I see that we are losing 40% to 60%. Looks like the other team had figured out a way to vote using a macro. If the site hasn't been guarding against that, the contest is bullshit...

Oh well. You can't always get what you want...

 

[OnceUponaTime]

How is this possible??? 8,000 votes in the last 20 minutes????
I can't believe this... they actually cheated.

 

[OnceUponaTime]

They just got four thousand more votes. I am turning this in to STAT.

Can we do that?

 

[Zeneth]

So umm, they apparently just got 8000 votes in the past hour?

 

[OnceUponaTime]

I have no words right now.

Within the past 30 minutes they went from getting 60% of the votes to getting 67% of the votes... They are using automatic voting...

I e-mailed STAT. Doubt they will be happy that we could see raw vote totals, but thank goodness we could because that transparency caught this cheating nonsense on behalf of Baylor.

I e-mailed them too.

 

[GSC]

What the fuck... we were way ahead of them..

I LITERALLY CHECKED 20 MINUTES AGO. WE WERE FIVE PERCENT ABOVE THEM???

 

[Striveon]

INSANE! I AM PISSED! ALL THE HARD WORK FOR NOTHING?! WTF?!

CHEATING AND IT'S SO UNFAIR

 

[GSC]

Does anyone have a screenshot from 20 minutes ago of the bracket results to further provide proof? I didn't think we would need it.

There's no way they're that ahead of everyone. Look at the votes. They haven't even published any urgency to vote within the last TEN HOURS.

I'm so heartbroken...

 

[Kain]

ain't no rest for the suffering

 

[Striveon]

Too good to be true...

 

[Striveon]

Sucks

 

[GSC]

I remember we were specifically ahead of them in AT LEAST 400 VOTES.

 

[Watasha]

I remember we were specifically ahead of them in AT LEAST 400 VOTES.

1000, they cheated.

 

[Watasha]

Here is all the evidence we need. Time stamps over the last 20 minutes of voting. More votes than several rounds combined all in a period of 10 minutes.

Please send this to STAT!

 

[GSC]

 

[Watasha]

Plesse send this to STAT!

I did. They'll probably try to say we cheated since we could see the phony votes but who knows.

 

[Zeneth]

Everybody tweet the proof to STAT or contact them in some way, there's no way they legitimately got 8000 votes in the span of 30 minutes.

 

[GSC]

I did. They'll probably try to say we cheated since we could see the phony votes but who knows.

How could they say we cheated, huh.

 

[Zeneth]

I did. They'll probably try to say we cheated since we could see the phony votes but who knows.

The votes were on the legit brackify website, it should be fine.

 

[Watasha]

How could they say we cheated, huh.

Because this is a huge embarrassment for them and we could see raw vote totals others probably didn't know how to see.

 

[spedgas]

Here is all the evidence we need. Time stamps over the last 20 minutes of voting. More votes than several rounds combined all in a period of 10 minutes.

There is absolutely no way to get this many votes this fast without a work around. I'm pissed.
