Perhaps this isn't the best idea, although I did take it into consideration.

I have a number of ideas for videos. I'm actually a musician - what do you guys think of me going around Toronto with a guitar singing some popular song by replacing the words with ones abou how Toronto sports teams suck?

Thanks for continuing to vote everyone. So appreciated

First - thanks.

Second - all my clips but one are on my voting page. The one not posted was the online audition I submitted, which you can watch here:

Lol, one of the contestants only has 400 votes total, approximately what Andrew gets in one day.

Sundher's got some serious momentum. Twice as many votes as the other top 4 guys in the last 22 hours.

Re: Help a fellow 2p2er become Canada's next sports broadcaster

We are trying to figure it out. The guy has 34 Facebook friends and does not have a job that would seem to be good for getting a large number of votes. Obviously we are missing something.

For those who don't want to scroll to the top, here is the link again - http://www.drafted.ca/finalists/andrew-damelin/

Re: Help a fellow 2p2er become Canada's next sports broadcaster

it would be very easy to set up a robo voting program for this poll

Re: Help a fellow 2p2er become Canada's next sports broadcaster

I have a very strong feeling that other people are gaming the system. I have been tracking the voting totals for about a week and Sahar and Davey are coming out of nowhere to rebound with vote totals that do not seem reasonable given prior performance (especially in the case of Sahar).

How would one hypothetically set up this robo voting program?

jfc, do not set up some kind or automated voting thing. it'd prob just end up as a great way to get DQ'd...

Re: Help a fellow 2p2er become Canada's next sports broadcaster

I'm not going to set one up. I'm just curious as to how Sahar would go from about 100 votes per day to over 700 in 16 hours. Wouldn't this be easily noticeable if anyone is looking or are they hard to detect? Given the way The Score set up this contest, it wouldn't surprise me if nobody is looking.

She would need about 2000 fb friends/twitter followers for that to be legit.

Her Facebook page is public. She hasn't even posted about the contest in 2 days. Hopefully The Score has some reasonably competent IT people who will figure this out.
