Although those numbers do seem kinda suspicious. The main page talks about how they got 40k+ votes after 1 day. Now after 1 more day it's at 1 million+. I dunno about that lol.
There's a lot of money to gain. The chance that no one is cheating OR cheating on behalf of someone else seems pretty remote.

i thought this would've been annoying to vote.. but its really fast/simple, so dont be lazy!

Everyone makes more email addresses and use different IPs to vote for Rekrul !
I'll try to vote at least 10 times.
So many well known players in top 50, very exciting. By the way there's no way to know who are in top 20?

He's top 50. Voted twice. Going for the thrice. Keep it going guys.

im voting also..... we should not fail here.
|
Voted, and I support this being put up on other SC websites too.
|
i hate to be a party pooper... but this is going until June 15... and there were 40k votes in the first 24hrs... if those numbers someone presented were true, which i doubt, we are fucked.
Basically if we want to win this we need to vote EVERYDAY somehow... we need "Magic" or its GG.
Even if every TL member voted.. we'd easily run out of support base by june 15... gogo magic =P

Voted, all for the dream of a 100k prize pool TSL3...
Imagine a 100k prize pool.. omg
EDIT: Voted, it was very fast and easy unlike most voting website things.

also i... tried to have my roomates vote but it said that that email has already voted when it was indeed a new email address. Not sure if we can get around this since i have 6 roomates. The more the merrier.

Lets do some analysis.
Guarenteed shoe-ins based on recent popularity: Phil Ivey, Sam Farha, Johnny Chan, David Benyamine, Barry Greenstein, Chris Moneymaker, Peter Eastgate, Jennifer Harman, Erick Lindgren, Chris Ferguson, Joe Hachem, Scotty Nguyen, Antonio Esfandiari, Greg Raymer, Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu.... thats already 17 like top tier guys very likely to make it.
Then there are some dark horses that have a lot of folowing:
Kenny Tran - vietnamese community
Humberto Brenes - people who like sharks and corny BM
David Sklansky - famous poker book author
Carlos Mortensen - can't count out a former world champ
Dan Harrington - wrote the 101 on TAG NLH tournament play
Jason Mercier - Really big in europe, recently on bluff magazine
Huck Seed - really chill likeable guy
Allen Cunningham - has a lot of really good plays televised
TJ Cloutier - old people
Annette Obrestad - women and europe
Prahlad Friedman - people who are fans of shitty rap
Phil Galfond - SS-Class online player. Teachs at bluefirepoker has a lot of fans
jefrey Lisandro - kicked ass in WSOP few years ago
David Williams - black people LOL
Eli Elezra - fans of HSP
Jamie Gold - fags and people who want to see him get his ass kicked.
Needless to say.. its gonna be really really really hard

Voted, you're in the Top50 at least.

Lawl sup roommate.
Will vote more later with my 9000000000000000000 fake emails.
I just have to remember what they are.

Voted. The long wait time means that probably you can vote from uni/work/home all.

Ok, here's a breakdown of the current situation.
1. The voting doesn't end until June 15th. That's like 120 days from now. Assuming a minimum of 40k votes per day, with each person actually picking the full 20 people allowed and most votes going to a similar "top" group, we are talking probably like 3-4 million + votes needed to get into the top 20. Even if it's 1/10th that, it dwarfs what TL can manage on it's own.
2. At first, it seemed possible to just make throw away email addresses or use the gmail glitch to keep voting. But by my experience, and the posts of others recently, it seems that it now checks based on IP as well. There is also the danger that votes via the gmail glitch or from obvious throwaways like guerrilla mail will be discarded or not counted.
3. TL's "active" numbers are usually around 1500-2000 at any given time. My guess is that 1/10th of those might be willing to actually bother to vote and that's generous. It can't be done, no matter how much IP changing/email making some of us are willing to do.
4. Thus, we need to either:
a. Cheat like hell. The problem with this is twofold. First, the script would have to be relatively sophisticated as it would have to make a throwaway email, attempt to register, log into email, click link, search Rek's name, and vote. Second, of course, is the high chance of a DQ.
b. Get 4chan on it. Of course, they'd likely just cheat as well, so see above.
c. Get really, really good at marketing on other sites. Or like.... own a major website like Digg or something.
C is the best option, but it'd have to be a fairly concerted effort. And it'd have to be done well. If we post on 4chan for example, and /b/tards decide to purposefully make us lose, well that's not very effective.
Meh, anyone have some good ideas? (anyone own Digg? or their own TV station?)

lol true and true, if the other guys numbers are correct then i have absolutely no shot in hell even with the nerd army behind me, and need to put an end to this to stop wasting ppls time lol
but wtf 40k votes 1 day and 1 million the next?
im assuming they advertise this etc on espn
general public > tl.net lol

Well, I though it was weird at first too, but than I realized that each person can vote for 20 people. So, 40k votes is technically 800k "votes".
That's why the numbers are so high. It also makes it that much harder for us to swing the vote.
