Silly Request :P - Page 3

Hey, for those who have already voted, try clicking the link again and see if it'll let you vote again. A few people, and on my work computer, have been able to vote multiple times for some reason.

The dog's owner and her 2 girls are going to the library tonight to vote on all 20 of their computers. They handed out fliers in their neighborhood too. Can't let those girls lose this.

The Husker puppy apparently has someone cheating for him. We were up 5% last afternoon. Now we're down 10%. That's shady. Our dog's owner is speculating that the Husker puppy owner figured out how to vote multiple times from a single computer by clearing your history over and over again. Really sucks that someone did this in a silly contest. I don't want to give up though. We have a great network and I believe our entry certainly got the most 'real' votes. We just need to step up the contact and see if we can narrow that lead and hopefully (long shot) win the right way. Help if you can please.

Thanks.

Haha, ok it's been suggested to me that I provide some sort of incentive to get others to vote and get more voters. So, here we go (can't believe I'm setting myself up for this). If we win, I will agree to wear whatever sig/av combo of the forum's choice, no matter how, you know, whatever, for a specified amount of time. But, we have to win, and that's a long shot at this point.

Thanks Edwardo. I've been able to vote a few times today too. Not sure why it keeps resetting itself, but I'm taking advantage of it when it does.

I feel like a "cheater" now! Wonder which one of my votes is the "real" one?

Of course, I'm just "messin' " witchya, Omaha. But that is how these things go. No REAL accuracy in the vote totals.

I still don't see how a football can attract a voter in a "Halloween costume contest". I doubt the intent of the Promoter of this contest was to focus on Husker Football Success from the past!

Yeah, it's unfortunate. I think it would have been better to have to register at the site in order to vote. Would have eliminated those multiple votes by one individual. But, yep, this is how it goes sometimes. I think there's probably a lesson in there somewhere for the kids I suppose.
