    This rule wasn't stated because it's common sense.
    Exactly!! I see it as a form of cheating.

    In the forum admin panel I can see exactly which accounts voted for which option on the poll. It is a simple matter of checking when those accounts were created. I triple checked my count, using two different methods - there were no mistakes.

    Because of the obvious and blatant vote padding, the simple criteria applied to all entrants was to remove shill/fake/spam accounts from the voting figures - accounts created after the date the poll went live that have done nothing other than vote on the poll. As everyone can see, there were a few entrants who had their final score revised down.

    Checking IP addresses and user names, it is also clear that a number of accounts were registered by the same person, for the sole purpose of padding votes. This is actually grounds for disqualification, but because the revised result included only votes from community members established before the poll went live, I deemed it a fair final result. Everyone was measured by the same stick and all legitimate community votes were counted.

    As for the laughable accusation that I rigged the vote: I could refute it by posting the list of who voted for which option on the poll for all to see and verify for themselves. I have nothing to hide in that regard. However, I will not be doing that because the votes are made anonymously and likely not all members will want to have their votes made public.

    The decision is final. No amount of (ironically) questioning my integrity, demanding to see the list of voters, or making idle threats to no longer contribute to the MyGaming forum is going to change that.

    Please name and shame the user responsible for the large number of fake account.

    James doesn't need to make mention of who did such things nor does he have to post lists of all the valid votes that were tallied up. I'm pretty sure that in future he will focus more specifically on people who try to maneouver their way around the comp to increase their chances of winning.

    It's scary to think of the lengths people would go just to increase their chances of winning and it's sad.

    Yeh so you see, it's exactly fair if you have people that aren't willing to stick around and contribute towards the forum and try be apart of the community, to come and drop a vote then bugger off. I mean think about it logically, am I being fair in backing Azimuth on this, as well as those who are just trying to put a point across and saying "hey man listen, your methods are unethical it's not fair that this is a community driven comp and outsiders with no contribution are coming in and ruining it unless they are here to stay"??

    I'm not being nasty in any way about this, I'm just trying to make a valid point.

    The irony is more people would probably have voted for you two if it wasn't obvious that you were vote padding. Anyway, water under the bridge, congrats to Crz for winning.
