PD93 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Hey guys. Just wanted you to know that the deadline for Player of the Year for my cousin Chris Brown is 5pm today. He is behind 300 votes at the minute and got really close yesterday. Please go vote and vote every hour. If you have multiple accounts use all of them. I really appreciate all the help you have given me. I really feel like if all of Redskin Nation vote he will win this. The link is below and this is our last chance to get him the win. Thanks again for allowing me to come on here and get your help for a well deserving guy. Let's get this done. Again thanks. http://www.albanyherald.com/news/2011/nov/21/herald-player-year-poll/?sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huly Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I honestly think this thing is rigged. If you read the comments it is all Chris Brown yet we can not seem to catch up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stugein Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 The count just spiked again to over a 300 vote difference. :| This doesn't smell right at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DixieFlatline Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 The count just spiked again to over a 300 vote difference. :| This doesn't smell right at all. Agreed..especially since it's over 400 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stugein Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 449 now. Cripes. Alternately to the probable botting going on, is it possible we have people choosing the wrong option? I mean, the website and poll are poorly formatted. Edit - And why is the board seeming to choke all of a sudden? o_0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideshow24 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I hope people aren't choosing the wrong option, it seems pretty easy just to click beside Chris Brown's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaskinfan Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I've been voting for several days and we came close only once to catching up and then the number spikes up all of a sudden and seems to consistently be 200-400 above whatever we have no matter what. Definitely smells fishey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcpingist Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Just voted for about the 20th time. Down almost 500. Frustrating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pez Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I think we should demand to see the voting records.... there is absolutely 100% cheating going on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruffylookin Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 LOL at those crying about "cheating" How is a cousin soliciting votes from a fan site of a team that he played on to vote for his cousin, who nobody here has seen play nor any of the other players up for this very LOCAL award, not cheating? I for one would not feel to good if I voted for a high school athlete that I had never seen play from an area I don't live in just because his cousin once played for the Redskins. Perhaps one of the other kids is more deserving. How is it fair that they lose this award because they don't happen to have a former pro football player as their cousin? I think I'll pass and let those folks vote for whomever they feel is most deserving. BTW, the original thread was not 10 slots down. Is a new thread necessary? It certainly shouldn't be allowed.

Because it's the difference between actual people doing the voting vs a software program one person writes and it plays on a loop. All you have to do is log in under an email, then program the bot to press the vote and refresh buttons ever hour. It would be pretty simple to make 100 of those and let them play once every hour and catching up is impossible after that, even though one guy's done it all. The other fishy thing is that there are less than 400 students at that kids high school and the newspaper that gives out the award is in his hometown. If those aren't enough, then I think you're "hmmm, something sounds a little weird" meter is low on gas. EDIT: I'd assumed you knew who PD was, maybe I was incorrect. I'd wait to pass judgement until later, but if you did know, why would you be harassing a player who happens to do us the honor of visiting the forum and conversing with us? It's a benefit for everyone here, and one not shared by other fan bases very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those aren't enough, then I think you're "hmmm, something sounds a little weird" meter is low on gas. As for, "Do we need another thread?!" nonsense. Philip Daniels is allowed to post a new thread anytime he wants. If you want to start getting ****** with players who come on here everyone once in a while (and PD has become a part of the ES community more than any other) then I'd advise you to go to another forum. I don't think you're going to win popularity points with the mods or the members. Ring of Fame or not. What he said. Personally, I never vote in these things. (and I rarely post in threads) But when Phillip Daniels asks, I do. How many players have spent as much time with us as he has? I appreciate that so much that I have voted several times for his cousin. I also do think this is rigged. Either there are several bots running voting for Mason or the local paper fixed it so he would win. I hope it's only because he's more local to the paper rather than because he's the only white kid in the poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The award will have nothing to do with what either kid did on the field. They'll have won either by a voting bot or by a bunch of people who never saw them play. I'm fine with people stuffing the ballot box for PD's relative, but the only winner is the newspaper's web site, which manufacturered a bunch of hit data that they can peddle to their advertisers.
