it looks like we’ve just jumped up to about 150 votes/sec, they are at about 40 votes/sec

1/6/2010 3:15:36 AM

i just started 10 more instances on a few of my servers in separate datacenters

we're now getting votes at about 5x the rate of UNC.

1/6/2010 3:18:47 AM

i'm going slightly faster than whoever is skew in favor of UNC

1/6/2010 3:22:04 AM

lol just broke 100k

1/6/2010 3:23:17 AM

i wonder if there’s a set or reset method in their PHP script?

1/6/2010 3:24:18 AM

i mean they could just manually edit whatever db they're storing the results in for that matter.

someone needs to get on clemson and get unc out of 3rd

1/6/2010 3:28:21 AM

it's actually sort of good that someone from UNC is doing it too - that way if someone gets disqualified, it'll at least be both of us

we're still getting votes faster than they are. i have 12 instances running from my house and another 20 or so on various other servers.

1/6/2010 3:32:56 AM

KEEP POUNDING THEM EVAN.



sry for innuendo.

1/6/2010 3:34:38 AM

whoever was doing UNC just stopped

1/6/2010 3:35:53 AM

oregon is going up at a slow, but steady rate... is that from tdubers?

1/6/2010 3:41:23 AM

99% of the oregon votes are from me I had about 60 of them open, but i was afraid i was going to melt my laptop so now i only have about 20-25 open

1/6/2010 3:42:43 AM

just think what good we could do if we put even half this effort into something useful

lawl

1/6/2010 3:45:16 AM

can't you donate your processing time to SETI or something?

1/6/2010 3:46:15 AM

lol, yeah

p.s. i would love to be the web admin for kiplinger who wakes up in the morning to find that they got 500,000 hits over the course of 12 hours

1/6/2010 3:47:21 AM

i would just chuckle and hit reset on all of them. Or if i felt really nice check the logs and filter by IP.

1/6/2010 3:49:11 AM

haha i wonder how much of this it would take to crash their servers completely. we had it running on fumes earlier with the traffic.

1/6/2010 3:49:13 AM

^^yeah, if they handle this properly, they'll fix the hole and then reset the vote counts

p.s. i've had most of mine running through tor

1/6/2010 3:50:41 AM

I wonder why they even bothered to make it once/day voting if they didn't bother to put up a proper server-side check on the votes? That's just dumb...

1/6/2010 3:52:45 AM

i'm down to 5 open, i might leave it at that and call it a night, though i kinda wanna open a few for clemson...

1/6/2010 3:55:26 AM

I have 26 open right now. Typing is a bit slow, but that my be explained by this:

1/6/2010 4:08:41 AM

I can't explain how awesome this is.

1/6/2010 4:16:59 AM

We broke 200,000 votes!!!!!

1/6/2010 4:43:01 AM

Carolina 4th now

1/6/2010 5:26:27 AM

awesome lets get a bunch of votes thrown out in yet another poll!

1/6/2010 8:08:22 AM

lol@pollskew

@them finding it and kicking us out

1/6/2010 8:30:29 AM

Epic Evan strikes again. TWW at its finest.

1/6/2010 8:55:33 AM

lullz

1/6/2010 9:00:31 AM

500000

1/6/2010 9:30:56 AM

5x the next school (Oregon)

1/6/2010 9:32:22 AM

I wonder who was skewing in favor of unc

1/6/2010 9:48:51 AM

This is sure to work.

1/6/2010 10:18:22 AM

i'm voting for austin at the moment; it'll bump unc to 5th

1/6/2010 10:56:18 AM

> 10^6 total votes

1/6/2010 12:52:09 PM

I love this.

1/6/2010 1:19:46 PM

I saw this poll from a different source. When I voted and saw State had around 700k votes I knew there had to be some TWW shenanigans in the works. Great job.

1/6/2010 1:24:56 PM

haha, i can't believe they haven't reset it yet

1/6/2010 1:25:32 PM

they should let us win for the amount of effort we've invested in this

1/6/2010 1:26:47 PM

need to work on bumping unc to 25th

1/6/2010 1:27:15 PM

1/6/2010 1:29:20 PM

Damn tarholes. Bumping Purdue and Va Tech again.

1/6/2010 1:35:23 PM

i'd skew this more but i've done my share for now. if anyone from oregon sees this thread, your welcome, i gave yall ~113800 votes

1/6/2010 1:56:10 PM

How does UNC have so many votes?

Still, well done.

1/6/2010 3:14:56 PM

If they remove us from the list, we have already won.
