JOHNDX -
Don't know if you saw, but someone had posted a pic of Granny with voting enabled on all the other threads. The mods took them all off along with all postings related to the pics, but consensus was people were irate and voted for the other girl.
/(not me...)
 
2003-04-23 11:42:53 PM
I was thinking that as well, JOHNDX, but even so - if 75% of the votes from fark were taken away, we'd still have, by show of hits from Cardina16's page and the new thread here, at least a thousand votes.
There is definitely something rotten in Lexington...
I'm on a mission (with another well-known BiscuitVisage) to find some link between the opponent and the Lexington paper that is hosting this contest...
there's got to be some connection...

*laffs at Saucer_Guy*
Thanks br0, I needed that...
:D
*downs the beer, even though he doesn't drink... hiccups, and slams down another*
Well, I think they should take their argumentative skills and go to school to be politicians.
We could use some headstrong people in office... :/

that just happened recently Defamator, and wouldn't account for this. There's been weirdness for a few days now.

M0ppy- You're joking, right? You think you're wanted here? Get over yourself already. I raised a valid point, and instead of reasonably discussing it, all you could do was respond with name-calling.

If you want to be as classy as you think you are, quit calling other people "troll", "aol-boy", "child", etc., just because they have a different point-of-view than yours. Stick to the topic. Keep your temper tantrums to yourself.

We can leave it at that, or we can drop the gloves. Your call.
 
2003-04-23 11:50:05 PM
Def yes, I've followed this thread and the other, from day one, there is a reason that those links and pics were removed. I'm not at liberty to discuss it right now.


Anyway....M0ppy if people want to vote for the other Jaclyn lady, then let them. Don't get your blood pressure up over Fark man, you know how people here can be. And as far as you finding something afoot in the voting...good luck. There are certain things that people 'of a country nature' do not discuss. You won't find anything my friend.

I think in the end granny will come out ahead anyway, or they will find someway to disqualify her. If it was meant to be, then it was meant to be.
 
2003-04-23 11:51:46 PM
True, Suitep...
I seriously think Grandma's opponent is somehow in cohoots with the newspaper... or.something. *sigh*

Rings the bell, announces "Round 1", Reminds the combatants, "No kicking above the belt"
 
2003-04-23 11:53:56 PM
JOHNDX - You're right br0...
I really wasn't as worried about Jaclyn getting votes, I just can't stand it when people attack other people that aren't here to defend themselves. It's so cowardly.
 
2003-04-23 11:55:32 PM
Saucer_Guy: Round 1? Against who? I don't see anything going on that needs settling.
I'm just waiting for you to toss me another beer! :D

M0ppy Here's your beer. No hard feelings. Just chill, man.
 
2003-04-23 11:58:38 PM
Tosses M0ppy another beer

(hope my aim is better than with my cell phone at that ball game the other day)

:)
 
2003-04-24 12:08:01 AM
Thanks, Saucer_Guy!
*downs it, hiccups*
I'm doing some research here for a bit... I'll be around, but lurking...
 
2003-04-24 12:58:38 AM
everybody has got to relax around here and remember what the whole point to this whole thing is .... not to let the non-attractive, slightly overweight girl (I know that some people get offended when you are to harsh) with the funny hat whoop Farks Ars and go to the kentucky derby with VIP treatment...

and sorry but it looks like her face caught on fire and somebody tried to put it out with a hammer...
 
2003-04-24 01:22:35 AM
wow i slip away for a copule of hours and return and i find this forum aflame in ummm...flames. But i think that fires been put out. Well I got an e-mail from NhcFark regarding multiple votes by clearing the cache and cookies. I've been testing it for a bit now but to little success. I theoretically have hit the server with over 100 votes but the "average" (since the numbers change everytime) change is about 30 which I'm kind of unhappy about but will leave it running while i sleep and i'll give an official report in the morning.

I havent been here for awhile but i have been following the thread since day one. Some of it *may* have been joking but i think a lot of you guys should just chill and have a few beers. then every thing will look better.

GO GRANNY GO GRANNY GO!!!!
 
2003-04-24 05:42:34 PM
I need my granny fix...

Bertha Clemmons - 978
Jackie Ridden-Smith - 639

give or take 30 votes!
 
2003-04-24 06:31:42 PM
58.46% Bertha Clemmons - 992
41.54% Jaclyn Risden-Smith - 705
1697 votes cast.


No way in hell Jaclyn is going to win. Go Berty :)
 
2003-04-24 09:20:47 PM
hmm... 1005 to 962? How'd THAT happen?
 
2003-04-24 10:29:37 PM
300 votes in 3 hours ....I guess Betsy was not meant to win and the fat girl kicks farks ass....If she could pull that out of her ass then I don't know what to say
 
2003-04-24 10:52:50 PM
If the voting is "corrected" after the fact for multiple votes from the same address, which I think it is, expect that 300+ vote gain to be cut significantly.

I'd imagine the admin in charge is not maintaining the software at the moment.

Even if every farker that voted is only counted once, this should be a landslide. I doubt 300 people voted for what's-her-face in the past three hours.

Granny won the first round. Keep that in mind when this finishes.
 
2003-04-24 11:46:29 PM
I just posted the link on anandtech.com and just got 50 votes in under an hour ...they will pick up the slack from fark ...actually a few farkers responded on there....

its in the forums/off topic ...
 
2003-04-25 12:25:30 AM
Go EH!

I've bee campaigning too but only have 56 confirmed votes in 3 hours - I like your numbers better but we still only an 89 point lead.

I'll cross my fingers and hope the morning brings better news. Good luck!
 
2003-04-25 12:59:39 AM
WTF....!

52.16% Bertha Clemmons - 1113
47.84% Jaclyn Risden-Smith - 1021
2134 votes cast.


fark this. Justice is dead.
 
2003-04-25 01:57:24 AM
OK - Here's my take on this, and if Bertha wins in the long run I just might be right -

How would you like it if you look at an online poll and find yourself beeat by a ten-to-one margin? Not very good, even if you know the ass-whopping poll power of Fark. It would have been better if you lost by just a small fraction. I think kentucky.com doesn't want to hurt miss R-S's feelings and is trying to make it look like she had some sort of chance. They fully know that Bertha won the thing (With Fark behind her, not giving her the trip would be criminal), but they don't want Jaclyn to run home and sob into her horsey-hat because some 4000 people voted against her.
That said, it doesn't make what kentucky.com is doing right. Just providing another perspective on the situation.
 
2003-04-25 02:00:49 AM
Of course, if J R-S wins, then justice really is dead, and I would be interested in helping out in making what should have been a shoe-in happen. I like the legal angle, but I think a mass e-mail to the editors would suffice in making them cough up enough money for both of them to go.
 
2003-04-25 12:39:24 PM
WTF...the other day Bertha owned that poll and now it is 1313 for Bertha and 1263 for the other person.
 
2003-04-25 01:26:27 PM
50.04% Jaclyn Risden-Smith -

1331

49.96% Bertha Clemmons -

1329
2660 votes cast.

Shenanigans!!! Shenanigans!!!
 
2003-04-25 01:28:48 PM
This is total bullshiat.
 
2003-04-25 02:08:56 PM
the real crappy thing is that there is really nothing more we can do other than just wait and see ...I personally have exhausted all of my efforts and I was personally (through other forums and friends) responsible for over 100 votes and I highly doubt that most of those even counted ....

well its just a shame that the fat girl can beat Farks wrath
 
2003-04-25 09:36:26 PM
Never say die.

Anyone know what time zone Kentucky is in? EST? Just wondering what time it is there.
 
2003-04-27 07:45:05 AM
anyone know what happened...???
