Thanks for running those numbers, FCP. Fighting a computer is a difficult thing to do.

Casting votes, but it's not looking good unless they put a stop to the cheating.

I always have to preface my posts because I hope and think that Cocomo had no knowledge of bots and he was definitely vocal about not using them, but someone was using them for BJ. I don't care if a whole office of people were up at 3am voting, he was getting a ridiculous number of votes in the wee hours for several nights.

All we can do is say (time and again) in this thread to not use bots, and that's what we've done. But none of us are stupid enough to think we weren't getting some scripted help at some point. Like Wafer said, if people did that, then we can't control it, though it did seem to help in a "fight fire with fire" way against Vinbot and his decepticons. But I'd say there's no question that we've gotten more "real/human" votes BY FAR than anyone else in the competition. It's not even close. And ours were also pretty steady the entire week, but varied at times, and with tons of people talking about voting all over this thread...there's evidence throughout the thread of everyone voting. It's not like Hunter who basically couldn't be more obvious in his cheating...even moreso than Vinny at this point.

You might be right but we had FCP voting for us, i had my moms whole office voting for us, and we had a bunch of people on shift work we know who took up the late night cause.

Anheuser Busch basically just opened the whole contest up to cheating by not limiting votes. Stupid.

All they need to eliminate cheating altogether is one of those things where you have to enter the word to prove you're not a computer script.

It's called captcha and a true votebot can get around it.

May have to put a fork in it boys. I sent Tailgate Rivals some info yesterday and got this response...

Eric, thank you for writing. Our system in place currently shows no boting/scripts involved. We have triggers that bring suspicious voting to our attention and we are able to look into multiple analytic platforms that allow us to match up votes to page views and impressions. We want to run as fair of a competition as possible and will continue to monitor all situations to ensure that this is a quality contest.

Thank You for your participation and Good Luck.


This morning I sent them much more detailed information on the consistent voting numbers put up by HunterBot at random hours of the night/day. No response yet.

Thanks for all of the voting done by everyone.

Wow, the guy BJ is going up against has a whopping 3 votes since I looked yesterday morning.

Anybody who knows, do the votes reset at the start of the matchup or is their a cumulative total that counts toward the championship?
