23k votes in 10minutes... it's not a bot though, it's a bot swarm - so it's cool, i guess :P
a single macro can vote about 15 times a minute, but that's 2k votes per minute on that poll... a command line bot can probably do that, but i figure it'd be banned pretty quick, unless they routed it through multiple ips, which seems a bit intense for a stupid poll.
there's obviously a ton of macro/scripters chain voting though while they sleep.
psychological warfare. I'm gonna sign up on ravens.com and ask someone for a bot.... lol
Seriously, we need to kick it up a notch. It's 53-47 Poe. I'm not losing to a purple fucking bird. This is our superbowl... even if we didn't make it this year, this is our chance to win something. COME ON ZEE!!!
Someone PM me with script advise.

Guys lets not resort to macros. The guy running the competition checks the fansites around the web and all it takes is for him to find one member of the 'Skins fanbase saying they are using macros and we could get disqualified. If Poe is using macros then I'm sure he'll be found out and then he could get disqualified.
We are up against a monster here. There seems to be a lot of Redskins hate around the web and that's why we are up against more than one fanbase, the Vikings/Eagles fans are still p.o.'d about losing to us and they are helping out Poe. We just need to step it up, voting ends tomorrow night and we are losing 56-48 as of now.

It's 55%-45% in favor of Poe right now. With an UNREAL 6,496,077 votes as of this moment. This can't be legit.

all i'm saying is there can't possibly be 6.5million people who honestly give a #$%# about a stupid sportsline poll.

Eagles and Vikings fans are running macros and probably some Ravens fans as well. You guys must never visit ES because it's been discussed ad nauseum about who's doing it and how. The Ravens board has been an interesting read as well. Eagles, Vikings and Ravens fans have all been pretty vocal about what they will resort to in order to win.
Our guys didn't start it, but some are using macros to try and at least stay within reach of them. One Eagles fan has stated something special is going to happen during the last hour of voting. Whatever that means.
CBS knows most of the votes aren't legit, but if they acknowledge it, then what happens to their little contest?

Nice one lol, I forgot the exact numbers from when I came up with it, I think it was something like 56-44 percent. So if that's true then we're losing worse than i thought.
All I'm saying is if we stoop to their level we're just as guilty. What happens if CBS Sportsline knows both of us are cheating? Well then I guess the competition has no winner lol.
