Also you can vote like a million times... if this was legit it would last for one week, and only allow one vote per email address. well I am continuing to plug away-- even while sitting at the airport waiting for the flight to Chicago currently sitting at 54% to 46% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that voting has gone on this long is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember who that was. it was a different voting application that needed a little programming -- but hell, this one just needs someone to make their own macro to keep pushing the vote button here is the simple way to do itin FireFox iMacros: the macro---- VERSION BUILD=8300326 RECORDER=FX TAB T=1 URL GOTO=http://capitalonebowl.com/#/standings/rocky-the-bull/1 TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:mascots_vote_btn_2 WAIT SECONDS=5 TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:mascots_vote_btn_2 WAIT SECONDS=5 TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:mascots_vote_btn_2 WAIT SECONDS=5 TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:mascots_vote_btn_2 WAIT SECONDS=5 TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:mascots_vote_btn_2 WAIT SECONDS=5 TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:mascots_vote_btn_2 WAIT SECONDS=5 TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:mascots_vote_btn_2 WAIT SECONDS=5 TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:mascots_vote_btn_2 WAIT SECONDS=5 TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:mascots_vote_btn_2 WAIT SECONDS=5 TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:mascots_vote_btn_2 WAIT SECONDS=5 TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:mascots_vote_btn_2 or as long as you want to make it (you can do it with one simple record and then use the play loop for how ever many iterations I wonder if they have a way of detecting scripts or certain macros. It would be easy to catch if you had a macro that clicked every 5.0 seconds or whatever. What may be harder to catch, is if it's randomized. 5.2 seconds, then 7.6 seconds, then 6.1, 8.3, 4.5, 6.9, 5.9, 7.2, 8.1, 5.4,etc... They make programs that record the positon and action of the mouse. You could use this to simulate like 1-2 minutes of you actually sitting at the computer clicking, then just replay it. Looks way less automated. Just trying to explain why we may be losing ground if you've voted so many times. I'm sure ESPN has their crack IT team working on thwarting this -- oh wait-- they could have done that on the page itself. nope-- what ESPN wants is to say-- look how many people voted for this! Our page count is huge! not to mention that you are parked on that page the whole time which is another webpage stat advertisers drool over. you can alter the numbers throughout the script if you want-- I adjusted mine to cick every three seconds instead and set the loop at 3000. - current run is at 1908 (x 15 iterations). I may have underestimated my total voting so far. Who cares-- not like there aren't 20 MSU fans doing the same exact thing-- I just wonder how many of ours are doing it other than me. I'm guessing not too many-- thus the loss of ground (also as the total number of votes goes up, the difference becomes less percentage wise - i.e. we started out at 7500 to their 2500. Both groups add about 100,000 at the same time frame-- now it is 107,500 to 102,500-- not that it is that close yet) I've noticed a new vote wont register until about 15 secs after the previous click. Here's a macro i have to open a new tab, click the button, and then close the tab, with 1 sec delays in between so you can actually see the "Thanks for voting" You can then set it to loop 99999 times (after copying the macro a few times to make it longer.) Just open a new browser window and run the macro, then a different browser window to do your actual browsing: VERSION BUILD=8300326 RECORDER=FX TAB T=1 TAB OPEN URL GOTO=http://capitalonebowl.com/#/standings/rocky-the-bull/1 WAIT SECONDS = 1 TAG POS=1 TYPE=BUTTON ATTR=TXT:vote<SP>now WAIT SECONDS = 1 TAB T=1 TAB CLOSE TAB OPEN URL GOTO=http://capitalonebowl.com/#/standings/rocky-the-bull/1 WAIT SECONDS = 1 TAG POS=1 TYPE=BUTTON ATTR=TXT:vote<SP>now WAIT SECONDS = 1 TAB T=1 TAB CLOSE TAB OPEN URL GOTO=http://capitalonebowl.com/#/standings/rocky-the-bull/1 WAIT SECONDS = 1 TAG POS=1 TYPE=BUTTON ATTR=TXT:vote<SP>now WAIT SECONDS = 1 TAB T=1 TAB CLOSE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do I get the feeling that as soon as it becomes 51-49 Sparty, the polls will mysteriously close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
