alexander kravchenko made top50... so some1 dropped out of it.. at least me know rekrul isn't #50 on that list.
Also, when you vote its sorted by bracelet winners... so anyone with like 3+ that isn't a complete no name is a shoe in.
However, a lot of people on that list have 2 or less... sooo i think rekrul still has a chance

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?) I think this post needs more attention. Maybe we should tell 4chan to vote for people other than rek and beg them that we need them to vote for rek's competition. We should tell them that we'd cry if they didn't. edit: Look, I don't have over 10 posts on many other forums, but for the ones that I have a few hundred posts, maybe I'll post up a link kk? I know we're all lazy and like to talk but not do shit, but please, just put up a thread right now on other forums that you visit or have visited. and those numbers are all made up
Yes, I know. They are very arbitrary estimates based on the only concrete number we have: they got 40k votes the first day. Like I said though, 300-400k votes needed to get in is not even remotely a stretch. This isn't a random SC poll on some Columbian website. This is the WSOP. We can't just think, "oh hey, I've voted 20 times now. If everyone in the thread has done that, that's like 10000 votes! I'm sure he's in now." People will slack off and forget, etc. etc. That and we don't even know for sure, if all our votes are being counted. What if, despite what they said, they choose to exclude votes based on IP as well? That's probably like 95% of our votes gone, unless the people who said they voted hundreds of times were constantly refreshing their IP as well.
I just feel that we'll need a more concerted effort than 1 thread in General to have any shot at this.

voted :O
will do a few times from school and random places as well
would be pretty interesting to see the top20 rankings and number of votes somehow :///
|
Done, good luck mate, make sure you donate some of your winnings for the next TSL ;D!

if rekrul loses he is banning all of teamliquid

every TL member should be required to vote atleast once

Would be nice if we made a second thread like this (Vote for TL to get money part 2). After a thread passes 5 or so pages, it gets frequented a lot less.

He's in the top 50, I wish they had a top 20 as well so we could see o.o
