Leveling the playing field
Hey guys, One of my friends is on the RealWorldCasting website thingy, after voting I very quickly noticed something Amuck about how many votes some of the top people were getting.
Under normal circumstances I wouldn’t of thought anything about it. But I have experienced these types of scams before. Back in the day (2 years ago) when I ran only 1 website, barely knew basic HTML, and was not so tech savvy as I am now my cousin Zachery was on some cosmogirl cutest guy site thing. It was a cutest guy competition that ran each day allowed people to vote for who they liked the most out of two guys, then the next day it would be the winner and a new challenger. Well when Zach got up there we rallied the troops (8 aunts and uncles on my mom’s side of the family, plus their kids, etc.) and legitimately voted him to the top every day. The days were ending with around 150 votes for Zach and around 100 or so for the other guys, so our votes were helping, but he was legitimately winning until one day we all are going to vote when some punk has over 1,000 votes in the middle of the day… now I know a lot of people, and I know how to rally the troops, but I don’t know 1,000 people who I can convince to vote for me every day. Being that at most the total vote count of days past was around 250 someone having over a thousand by mid day was a little skewed. My other cousins Jordan and Joel much more tech savvy than myself quickly figured out what was going on and using a macro set as described in the video we were able to get the cheater beat out a couple of days later… unfortunately my cousin still lost, but after getting 8 computers over 3 internet connections running we finally beat out the cheater. Now again the same techniques are being used by some losers on the MTV Real World casting site.
I’m doing my best to expose them, and do not plan on giving up at any point in time.
