I consider myself in first place because the person that's in first place at the moment is so obviously a cheater. No one is going to get 60 votes within a 5 minute span unless they're cheating, especially if they've already gotten over 100 votes. What's more, the design SUCKS. This is what I'm talking about. Within about 5 minutes it went from about 137 to 200. Did I do anything about it? Oh yes, because this has been bothering me since yesterday afternoon, when it only had 48 votes (first time I saw it).

So what did I do? I called TI. Oh yes, and they were quite nice about it too. To sum it up, I'll just quote #tcpa from when I came back from the call:

[01:04:31pm] * Rejoined channel #tcpa
[01:04:31pm] * Topic is 'Welcome to #tcpa | The Consumer Protection Association - Don't buy HP! | Please vote for DA! http://tinyurl.com/7befj'
[01:04:31pm] * Set by efneTI86!aardrop@cpe-66-1-88-111.az.sprintbbd.net on Fri Jul 29 05:04:16
[01:04:38pm] <@efneTI86> [DarkAuron] We called it Sin.
[01:04:38pm] <DarkAuron>
[01:04:42pm] <DarkAuron> ti DOES care
[01:05:07pm] <DarkAuron> holy
[01:05:11pm] <DarkAuron> 205 votes
[01:05:14pm] <DarkAuron> yeah..... that guy is cheating for sure
[01:05:19pm] <DarkAuron> I told them the whole thing
[01:05:29pm] <+_AnyKey_> what'd they say?
[01:05:36pm] <DarkAuron> and apparently I'll be able to talk with the head of the entire graphiTI contest O-o
[01:05:44pm] <+_AnyKey_> duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude...
[01:05:56pm] <+_AnyKey_> that's good!
[01:06:01pm] <DarkAuron> well I called TI CARES and told the guy the stuff, so he checked it out (and commented on how cool mine looked)
[01:06:05pm] <+_AnyKey_> that guy HAS to be cheating
[01:06:17pm] <+_AnyKey_>
[01:06:19pm] <DarkAuron> and he transferred me to the graphiTI department (or something thereof)
[01:06:26pm] <DarkAuron> and I apparently have a Case #
[01:06:32pm] <+_AnyKey_> nice
[01:06:37pm] <DarkAuron> so like.. yeah
[01:06:49pm] <DarkAuron> I'll be getting an email and a phonecall from the head of the entire contest x.x
[01:07:04pm] <DarkAuron> asked me what the rate of that guy's votes are
[01:07:18pm] <DarkAuron> and I said sometimes it doesn't get any votes at all and other times it gets about 40-50 votes within minutes
[01:07:39pm] <DarkAuron> and I acted pretty innocently, saying I'm concerned that he may be using an automated system to get free votes
[01:07:57pm] <+_AnyKey_> way to go DA!
[01:08:02pm] * _AnyKey_ does a dance
[01:08:04pm] <+_AnyKey_> \o/
[01:08:05pm] <DarkAuron> then he asked about mine and I said I was getting steady votes, here and there, and I know most of the people that have been voting for me
[01:08:15pm] <DarkAuron> so yes, I worked this out quite well
[01:08:22pm] <+_AnyKey_> you shure did
[01:08:27pm] <DarkAuron> I should be getting a call though
[01:08:31pm] <DarkAuron> so I probably need to get off the internet

So I waited for a few hours, didn't get a call. I should probably stay off the internet a bit more often though just in case, although I did give them my email, so they might use the email incase they can't get through. Hum.

So huffy about a little contest? what's the prize I didn't even check. Well i guess I would be to if I was so close to number one.
Well he gave his info, call him up! That's the only funk in that city listed. And google says NUKE HIM!!!

Geez......no one even gave me pitty vote. Do I have to beg.........

Post by **DarkAuron** » Fri 29 Jul, 2005 10:46 pm

Looks like Mr. Funk got busted. My call had effect, because.. he has 0 votes now. Now things should be more fair.

Edit: And oh yeah, I voted for you Jim

With 25 votes, my entry is #1 is Florida. Many thanks to those who are voting for me.

I've all but lost all hope on winning the grand prize because from the looks of it, a few certain people are more than obviously cheating and rocketing ahead of *everyone*, but TI doesn't seem to really care. So in my last attempt of this contest, I've started a petition that you can sign.

I have not cheated, I have no desire to, and I have a pure heart of winning this, but if I lose against a bunch of cheaters, I will be emotionally destroyed. They do say the good guys always win though, so.. I'll just hope for a bit longer. No telling what the next 2 1/2 months will hold for me.

Are you sure they are cheating? They both are pretty good designs especially the really colorful one.

Post by **DarkAuron** » Sun 31 Jul, 2005 9:16 am

I hope you're kidding..

Jim e · Post by **Jim e** » Sun 31 Jul, 2005 10:07 am

If color equals pretty than kozak you owe me $10,000 dollars!

Post by **Kozak** » Sun 31 Jul, 2005 12:41 pm

I am serious I think they both are pretty good.
