Isn't it obvious that LOB won?? His score was too high for anyone to exceed by the last few votes. Well done Brian BTW!

I thought it was first, second, and third place prizes, though?

Nonsense Man · Post by **Nonsense Man** » Sat Sep 06, 2008 8:51 pm

Ya theirs first, second and third; bacteria's being sour because he knows he didn't win.

Sorry Bacteria... I beat you probably.

Is that including votes from people who just registered? What were the filter paramters you applied?

No that was just using the latest up-to-date Skyone total and then adding the last votes after that total was made.

Dont forget those, because the Library, school, and personal homes have 3 different I.P. addresses so thats not reliable-Just do older members

Plus, im so close at winning every vote counts...

Does that mean my votes don't count? I did join after the contest was already started.

yeah, same here.

I dont know there, but the real tie brakers are ones that would make it time to start the cancellation of certain votes

palmertech · Post by **palmertech** » Sat Sep 06, 2008 9:57 pm

I would think that Chad78 is okay- He did not just join and vote, he is still around. Also, he is a prominent member on the GP32X foums, has a pretty popular blog, and has a general online presence. I think it is reasonable to allow him to vote.

Of course, this may be biased due to the fact that he voted for me.

"Nonsense" indeed and rubbish - not sour at all (don't confuse competitive with sour grapes. I fiercely focus on things to the point of obsession, can't help it, part of having Aspergers Syndrome; make allowances for it - what you saw from me was this obsession and nothing else) - I was first here to congratulate LOB on his win in this topic. FYI: mine was posted onto four main sites (three gaming, one video of the day; plus some blogs), 16500 YouTube hits and over 5000 website hits. My ultimate goal was publicity and awareness; I think I achieved that, no? I also have a very nice system to use for years to come which is unique and a joy to use. No sour grapes in any shape or form.

If I was voting as an unbiased outsider, I would have personally placed the order as LOB, Hailrazer, Palmertech then mine anyway; the result of the poll I think is pretty well bang on therefore, or thereabouts. Congrats to all that entered, or nearly entered; there were some great systems on show!

I think if vomitsaw had entered his NES in a toaster that that system would probably have won, pity he didn't enter it, would have been interesting (although he would have needed internal batteries and a screen, and controls on the toaster of course to qualify)!

Life of Brian Wins!!
With a stunning amount of 132 points!

Following him, hailraizer comes in second, and palmertech comes in third!

Now sort the prizes accordingly, hailraizer.
