Whooooa! I can't believe what I am seeing. BBA is right... WTF?? Not to dis on anyones carving skillz (or lack of), but the way the count going up is quite questionable on the Drunk pumpkin. Makes me wonder what the secret to cheating for a stinkin contest is? And wonder if I too could cheat for the low, low price of a hot dog and a knock off soda.
How is it that the Drunk Pumpkin is the only one getting votes?

It is weird but we do have at this typing 170 guests viewing our forums. I bet GK sent out an email to advertise the pole.

look ill be honest here, im in irc, and i live with roomates who all have machines, yes of course i told my roommates to come here and vote for my pumpkins.... thats a given.

i also went into irc, and posted this link as well, hoping that people would vote for my pumpkin cuz well i really really like that case, and who wouldnt wanna have it, its a nice freakin case

now that ive said that, i think i might have generated 15 votes lol, i even called friends and told em to come here and vote.

You decide

and also the fact that 43,65,70 havent changed in 30 minutes. Now you are trying to tell me that over 100 people in the last hour thought that the drunk pumpkin was the best carving? no other pumpkin has recieved a vote in an hour!

HOGWASH!!

It is like the Energizer Bunny it just keeps going on and on.

im sure you might know

I told everyone at my college to vote for me. It is a pretty big college, but over 200 votes that quick is weird.

My best guess is that more people like funny more than something that took alot of time and effort.

i think you meant out of the last hour, they only ONLY liked the drunk pumpkin, and no other............. OK

Contests like this were meant to be fun and by the looks fo things you shouldn't be getting upset.

Also please don't bash my pumpkin as everyone did a bang up job.

yeah they should be fun, and yeah im a lil upset. I hate cheaters

ok folks in the last hour 105 votes for drunk pumpkin

i figured out our to log out and come in non registered to vote for my own pumpkin again so i might have generated a couple more votes

the orc and the mario have gotten 1 vote a piece in the last our, and no others have recieved votes.

just pointing out the facts

~BBA

ps may the best carving win

does the voting get tracked by ip address?

With Vatterott College, we are all behind a single router so that really wouldn't tell you anything.

nevermind... i see how this works.

Wow.. BBA it appears that you have found quite a fan base. Your numbers tripled in the past 15 minutes. Nice!

I'm close'n this poll till I get a verdict from GK. I have watched this as well and its not cool.

Coolermaster has been a long time supporting sponser of PCA and they deserve our attention on this out come.

I am not seeing the big deal? We get about 6,000 people through this site each day... There has been nowhere near that many votes yet and the poll has been up for almost a day. If you do not agree with the top 10, then I am sorry, but don't be a poor sport about it. There is no "rigging" going on to the best of my knowledge. Also think that many of our visitors are between 18 and 30. It doesn;t suprise me THAT much that the Dunk Pumpkin is doing so well... it was very creative and very funny... It may not have taken as much skill as some of the others but it sure does easily have as much personality.

EDIT // AntiM has illustrated a method to inflate voting... to avoid this and make it as fair as possible, I will wipe all votes out to ZERO and move the poll back to the original forum where only members can vote on it.
