well i went to a kids birthday party with my daughter today and had all the parents vote on their iphones, plus i sent out emails to my contacts to vote as well as textmsgs and a facebook post, i broght in at least 10 votes today lol, and no proxy involved

[Tbone]

Frigidsurf claims Astral got 30 votes in 30 minutes. Did all of your friends vote AT THE SAME TIME? lol

Anyway, between our 85 members and several of your "rock the vote" campaigns, I could see how there could be 125 legitimate votes, but that's impressive!

[Saint]

nah, it wasnt 30 in 30, I was in my car traveling when I looked at my phone as it was 99 to 102 frigid, I was like CRAP! were in second place, so I took it up a notch and started sending out text messages to my friends, some of which I havent talked to in a year or more.  by the time we arrived at the party 15 min later I had recieved 4 more votes, but after that it went a bit slower, I would say over the course of 2 hours we went up to 117 and by 4 hours later we had 124, somewhere after that the 125th one popped in..   it wasnt 30 in 30, I dont know what he was smoking, I was checking it every couple minutes though and that didnt happen.

Exactly what I tried to do earlier.

So I tried using the torproject/vidalia bundle. When I use canyouseeme.org I can get many different IP addresses using different tor identities, but even with all browser cache and cookies cleared, every time I go to the poll site it still recognizes me somehow (displaying voted results).

I've never tried proxy servers properly.  I just aimed to use sites like http://www.proxy4free.com/list/webproxy1.html
I just clicked vote and nothing happened.

But, it doesn't look like we'll need to do it anyway.

needs more i got 4 people from my kin in lotro to vote and i've voted on my home computer work computer and also mobile yet we are still only 9 ahead we need a big final push now of like 20 odd votes

[Da6onet]

I did send out an email to my lan party friends in the area with an unbounded statement "feel free to vote for astral as many times as you like" and they being very capable software engineers and IT folk may have overcome the problems I was having. That said, is the voting still going on until the end of today?

[Mharz]

You guys are serious!  I proxied in and dropped a vote, waited a little while, picked up a new IP, dropped another vote, then suddenly BAM ahead by 20.  I figured someone else was on the case at that point so I'll save my cards in case we need a last minute ace.

I thought the polls were suppose to close alittle before midnight or so I read on the website. I went to bed after midnight pst and I get up this morning and people have still added more votes to the tally. WTH? when do these things close already... shesh

[Da6onet]

I'm getting a little sick and tired of the comments imperial fan boys are posting on that page. I think we should speak up a little more to combat the naysayers.

edit: looking back at my comment, I may have just inspired a new wave of votes for the bounty hunter story (woops!)

[ExternalError]

Well i just found a massive error in figidsurf story debating whether to point it out the rules below http://torwars.com/2011/08/02/fan-fiction-competition-2-0-begins/ state The setting of your story will be the game setting, in other words, it is 10 years after the treaty of Coruscant yet he refers to a modified YVH droid which were produced by the Tendrando Arms to combat the Yuuzhan Vong considering this droid wasnt produced until 27 Years after the battle of yavin hes a little over 3670 years out of the timeline.  Debating whether to post this as his story wasnt bad even though it didnt fit the requirements

The Devil is in the Details after all!

[Saint]

Is anyone else wondering why the voting is till on going?

[Tbone]

Let's keep it a friendly competition please. That being said, feel free to comment on why you liked Astral's story to show that there really are this many people voting for him.

I think voting is over and Astral wins by 2% or 6 votes
