I was wondering if the voting system here was filtered by IP so just out of interest i logged my alt in and was able to vote, (just the once, to test).
So right, if i was really desperate to win and had an army of alts with different e-mails and friends willing to join just to vote i could swing it.
Not pointing any fingers here and a couple of the leaders are good and deserve votes, but some are hardly that inspired.
This is no big deal of course as there aren't any big prizes involved but could explain in the past why some rather banal (to say the least) entries came out in the top 10, and some of the really clever and witty ones received comparatively few votes.
I was also surprised to see that for 1500+ votes only 300 or so views on this thread, which, accounting for some checking back seems very few to me.
Anyhow, conclusion ; i doubt i'll bother for the next one, and in any case, my entries are never that inspired lol
