Our lead is also 1 vote off of 9300 votes. This means that ~~she~~ the bot needs to increase ~~her~~ its LEAD by 93 votes per minute in order to win.

If this number (93 votes per minute) increases as we get closer to the deadline, we are fine (unless theres a last minute surge), if it decreases steadily, all is lost. If it stays roughly consistent, it is almost certainly a bot, and all is lost.

OUR LEAD IS SHRINKING AGAIN-- I'm resetting the number to beat as 168.1 votes / minute

At this rate they need around 1k votes every 6 minutes to win.

With all this manual labour, R1CH probably could have written a bot that could spam votes faster than all of team liquid combined with a lot less effort.

Ok - now it's starting to look good! I'm still afraid for the last 10 minute all-in attack from the bot though. Anyone got an idea for the final push?

It's going faster again, we were slowly gaining a lead, now it's voting as fast as we are.

Continuing voting.

Not because it is needed.

Not because I am doing a great contribution.

But because when my children, in 20 years, ask me, what did I do with my life, I will reply:

I was there.
When Glider and teamliquid beat the enemy.
When the work of humans proved superior to the cold efficiency of Machines.
I was there. And I did my part.
