Thank you for your support, didn't make the top 100.

Thanks guys! I'm on way home now to vote like crazy to get back up there,, we have just over 24 hours to get back up into the top 100, and some of those top guys have got to be voting really lousy on others to have us drop like we are. Me mainly lol!! Maybe they see me as a threat? I tried to write plainly and to the point without getting carried away and emotional so the judges would take it seriously.

The math

100 people vote 10s,, = 1000
100 people vote 1s , = 100
1100 divided by 200 votes = an average of 5.5 = not good,, that is why drops faster than it raises.

You know they are all doing the same thing....voting for themselves and getting others to vote.

I hope you do well, but these contests should get one vote per person or IP (IMO) .
I only ever vote one time in contests and never just because.

Thank you for your good wishes. Yes it would be wonderful if everyone could only vote one time, it would be a lot more fair too, that way people couldn't vote against each other the way it seems some are doing. I think the reason that there is no limit is because they are donating $1 per vote up to a certain amount to charities for job training and education. They also post suggestions on how to get more votes.

I appreciate everyone who is trying so hard to help me get back up into the top 100, it's a lot of work and dedication and means a lot to me.

What? You can and do vote repeatedly for yourself? Doesn't that make the whole contest pretty bogus? I didn't realize that. Shoot, I guess that means everyone's doing it.

Ranchhand no originally I hadn't been voting for myself but when it dropped like a rock because someone(s) were going in and purposely voting me down I did start voting because in order to be judged you have to be in the top 100. I'm sorry if you feel it's bogus and I don't expect you to go against your feelings and vote for me. This is one reason I didn't make a thread for so long, I knew some who don't like the whole voting thing would get upset over it. I'm sorry if you are offended.

We may not like the way the contest voting is set up, but that is the way it is. I have no problem with you voting for yourself, and I am happy to try to help you in this endeavor. So far, the only ethical line I have come close to is whether it's fair to vote other people down; I don't think it is , so I won't do that. I will, however, vote for you as often as my sludgy computer will let me! And yes, I keep getting the captchas all the time. I just keep repeating to myself "slow and steady wins the race." Don't know where that came from but it helps keep my blood pressure down.

They WANT us to vote over and over. It is a cash advance site. They figure the more hard luck people visit their site over and over, soon or later they will buckle and take out a short term loan. Go as often as you can. Don't knock the rules because you would run it differently if it was your contest. It is probably not really a contest about who needs the money most, it is how many people can fly close to the flame without taking out a short term suicide loan. Troops, stay strong! DO NOT TAKE OUT A SHORT TERM LOAN! LOL Just vote till your fingers bleed and lets keep her in the running! Time is short. VOTE!!!
