i am just calling it how i see it. I am seeing a surge of new accounts being made with the same ip address. I am going to leave this to the senior mods to make the final call.

I may have jumped the gun, and if i have wrongly accused you, i will appolgize in adavance.

I talked with my network guys, and they did tell me that since we are using NAT on our network, everyone outbound would be seeing the same ip. I think that is what is going on.. Sorry for any confusion.

Maybe anyone who voted that has a "0" post count that doesn't have an entry should be looked at.

That "Pirates of the Caribbean" pumpkin carving is a work of art! My compliments to speed_racer ... fantastic job!!!

Nice job on all of the pumpkins! Good luck everybody!

Well, it appears that Pirates is gonna run away with this one. I must admit, it's an outstanding pumpkin and one that I am honored to have kept such a close race to. If the voting trend continues at this pace, I would like to go ahead and congratulate Speed_Racer on his outstanding work.

Edit:

My votes seem to be surging. Would an admin please examine them to ensure that they are legit votes as I don't want this to end up a repeat of the prior voting fiasco. Thank you. Also, please immediately remove any false votes that may be there.

If anyone is falsely inflating the votes for my pumpkin, please stop.. we're just wanting a fair competition.

I am with you Aries.... The votes just surged for sure.... Not sure whats up. Stays steadey for a while, and then spikes....

I would expect them to rise at the end. Some people like the dramatic approach, or maybe they just got home from trick or treating.

Just with all the mess that we've had with this competition to begin with.. I want nothing more than for it to end clean and fair. I don't want there to be a shadow of doubt or suspicion. PCApex and Cooler Master both deserve that much, as do the contestants.

Edit:

With the time being 10:14 CST here, I would like to congratulate Speed_Racer on his win in the competition. To all the contestants, oustanding job on your pumpkins and I look forward to next years competition!

I will go with the trick or treating, I just got back from taking my kid...
