NCAA 6thFan Contest

Re: NCAA 6thFan Contest

WIU's Basketball radio announcer is trying to rally USD fans to vote for the Leathernecks on Twitter

The two Yotes fans who voted in the first round and led them to 245th place or whatever will definitely turn the tide.

Re: NCAA 6thFan Contest

Are we the only ones not using a script? ASU start using one last round. BYU stated on their boards that they are, so the Bison have retaliated and are messaging around their script on Bisonville. UCF blatantly put one out there for all to see on theirs, but are considering putting that behind closed doors. No clue about WIU and UTPA. Bryant is getting dominated so I doubt they are.

And by no means this is a call for us to do so.

I wonder if WIU is using one. We seem to not be able to pull away from them. We passed them pretty easily in the 1st round. Are our voting numbers down? Credit to Western and to whoever else they recruited to vote against us if they aren't use a script. I have been voting off an on all day today.

Yes, but I still don't see how they can get around the CAPTCHA. The only thing I can think of is that their script makes voting more efficient for them. For example, you could write a script that simply requires you to type in the CAPTCHA codes and hit enter.

Take a deep breath, we can outvote these guys...did it before, just need everybody to pull the same oar they did that first week. I've only been able to vote the last half hour, after returning from out of town. But I'm settled in now for the long pull. GO JACKS!

That is exactly what they are doing. It would streamline the process so all you have to do is enter the CAPTCHA code. No pointing and clicking on all the buttons. It just keeps repeating the same loop over and over and over. It may up it a vote or two every minute, but over the long haul that can be quite an advantage, especially if you have multiple users doing it. You can probably do it for longer as well.

I believe using a script is against the rules of the contest.

Re: NCAA 6thFan Contest

Hooray...after more than an hour of voting, finally shook that 51-49 to 52-48. With a lot of help tonight, we could widen that gap...let's go gang!
