Whit4you | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:30 pm  Well, they will have the stats behind the votes here. I think those stats will show for example who the 40 people who "held their votes" till the last hour to make sure Moon was voted out, or May... (that's on top of the 80+ who'd already decided to vote for them) I think it'll be obvious to them if 30% of the voters had only logged onto this board that one time, or two times that there was cheating going on. Then it's up to them if they care enough anymore about this game to even look for a way to resolve it. We were told from day one and so were the players that this is a beta test. |
Karuuna | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:31 pm  Hold the paranoia presses.... apparently the Host did pull the voting pole early for some reason, see this post from the host earlier today... Host Friday, October 27, 2000 - 05:17 am ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Since all the Players are not available for the live banishment chat tonight, we are going to hold it on Saturday morning between 7:30 - 8:00 a.m. PST. Directly after, they will be given 1/2 hour to say goodbye to the 2 banished Players. Sorry it's so early folks, but that's the time the Players chose. The polls will still be closed tonight at 6:00 p.m. PST. A new poll will be set up by Noon Saturday to vote for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners. |
Affinity | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:33 pm  You're right, something is wrong here. We'll just have to wait for the greatness that is Host to post something to us |
Karuuna | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:33 pm  The above was from the thread announcing the new time of the players chat. I assume since the poll was not left open until 6 pm, that Lisa and Neil are aware of the situation and are deciding what to do... |
Nadi | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:33 pm  There must be a better way to do this. I think either starting a vote topic or emailing to the host are better than what we have here. It's a shame that some people have to try to ruin things for everyone. It was supposed to be a game for fun. What kind of game is it if there is one or 2 people out there have figured a way around the voting and can determine the outcome themselves. |
Vasix | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:33 pm  Whit: I have no idea what your poll the jury work told you other than you found all the people willing to dribble their heads off their desks with you trying to count votes (memo to file: if you suspect dishonesty from a population and then you ask that population to find it...you may get bad or incomplete results). But don't explain it to me, I trust it told you what you needed to know. Afinity: nice suggestion on the Vote Thread. Keep thinking along those lines. Something like that could work. Or you have to E-Mail your password note back to host each week with your vote. Boy that would be hard on the Host though. We can fix this. This is a job for: SPAMGIRL! Where is she? In the Spamcave? With Spamboy? There's never a superhero around when you need one. |
Kearie | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:33 pm  I say end the game now. Moon and May tie Luke and Vyk tie Roger wins by having so few votes!!!!! |
Deedra | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:33 pm  What the hell is going on?? I come home to find out that the votes are not even near to being right. There is no way that many people voted. I suspected cheating the first go around but held my tounge. There is no denying it this time. People keep saying that this is "Just a Game". Well you know what? This may only be a game but some of us spend alot of time keeping up with this game. I may not post as much as some of the others but I keep up with everything and I feel SOMETHING needs to be done about this. Okay, I've said my peace. I'm pissed. |
Aroy | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:34 pm  The results of the poll is not hard to get. The url is: http://vote.pollit.com/poppoll?ID=308642 Host really needs to clean this up. Poor Moon.  |
Whit4you | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:35 pm  Well if nothing else I do hope at least the FINAL vote is done differently. I think for the final vote only those voting in LAST weeks vote should be allowed to vote. It's fair I believe because anyone who wasn't around or didn't bother to vote in last weeks poll - probably don't know enough about this game to make a decision between the 3 people who've put a month into this game. Anyone else agree?? |
Jana | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:35 pm  It was obvious that Moondance was targeted....no doubt that i am her strongest supporter and am somewhat biased...i admit that....but everytime luke and vykin would get a vote, she would get FIVE in less than a minute.....so far i have heard ONE person admit they voted for her....i hope HOST does something about this, but i won't complain if she doesn't...it's sad though...if things stand the way they are with all the cheating i am going to find another part of the board to hang out at other than THE GAME final tally was: 489 votes Rog 31 (6%) Moon 121 (25%) Luke 106 (22%) Vyk 108 (22%) May 122 (25%) |
Affinity | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:37 pm  This is crazy, I havent felt this upset since Britanny was voted out of BB! |
Jana | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:40 pm  here was the change in votes within the last two hours: rog 26 changed to 31 moon 66 changed to 121 luke 66 changed to 107 vyk 55 changed to 108 may 78 changed to 122 |
Kearie | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:41 pm  I think the final vote should be done by those who were BG's and were banished.... |
Affinity | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:41 pm  Good idea Kearie, but you are biased in that opinion as you were a BG |
Aroy | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:42 pm  There seems to be a lot more vote stacking here than in the People's Poll. Poor . |
Jana | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:44 pm  "This is a job for: SPAMGIRL! Where is she? In the Spamcave? With Spamboy? There's never a superhero around when you need one." yes she has been quiet hasn't she...this spamgirl that says she doesn't like Moon....this spamgirl that already said she knows how to cheat in the game.....laying low spammy? |
Affinity | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:45 pm  Hey I'll come up to spammy's defense on this one. I KNOW that she wouldn't cheat. Even though she knows how (heck, so do I). There's just people that you know you can trust and spamgirl is one of them. |
Jana | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:47 pm  hee hee Aroy....that is funny....that People's vote is more stacked than Anna Nicole Smith and Dolly Partin put together! |
Jana | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:48 pm  i apologize...i shouldn't have accused her, i don't know her...i just wish we could get some kind of response from Neil or Host |
Karuuna | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:50 pm  I'm inclined to wait and see what Neil and Lisa decide to do at this point. It's obvious that someone loaded the poll, and I think it's pretty reasonable to see that the poll was pulled in order to stop the massive late vote frenzy. If someone was cheating, they must have been doing it purely to throw a wrench in the works. If they didn't foresee that casting so many votes in such a short time would look incredibly suspicious, well he/she just isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. Lisa and Neil have always handled problems with integrity, I trust they will do so again. |
Kearie | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 03:51 pm  I may be a little biased....but if we each had to vote for two people and send our votes directly to HOST---it could still be fair. Okay! Fine! A lot biased and this vote even made it more so. But if only 14 votes were cast, by the 7 banished houseguests....it would still be anybodies game. The winner would be chosen based on everything we saw while in the house and outside. I think it would be the most fair way to go to ensure NO CHEATING is done...and it would be easy for the host to do. All questions of cheating would be eliminated. And I would only have 1 vote to go against Vykin...It would be fair. |
Vasix | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 04:37 pm  Vasix (trying to act shocked): Kearie you mean you'd spend one of your votes on Vykin? Horrors! I'm shocked! ROFL Yes Kearie having the players out vote on the players left in would be fun to see. But man would there be a firestorm if there were more than 14 votes! I think we email our votes or post them a thread like Affinity suggested. That way the posters still get to vote and there is no cheating. |
Azriel1104 | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 04:51 pm  The thread vote sounds fair but I don't think it would show the true vote. People that are not coming forward to say they voted for Moon might be doing so because they don't like confrontation. Or...dare I say...because they think it's none of your business who they voted for. ~dons her flameproof clothing~ You think you know everyone that reads this board regularly by the people that post regularly. I think there are probably 2 to 3 times more people than the regular posters that just enjoy reading the board but would never post. ~waves to the lurkers~ Their votes count just as much as ours. |
Norequerdo | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 04:56 pm  The best way to ensure no cheating is not to allow the results to be seen. so nobody has any idea what the vote count is. |
