Technicaly it's not cheating, as they never said we couldn't vote twice. :P

No they just designed the voting system in such a way as to rule out most people voting more than once.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Actually the number of computers desnt really matter. Its the amount of ISP addresses. So unless your computers run of a different connection it wouldnt matter.

Its just that most of us have a broadband connection that rotates address' everytime it reconnects. I voted 3 times in 5 minutes before I got tired of resetting my internet connection.

If anyone here runs through a proxy they could vote dozens of times an hour.

Okay, fine, those of us priviledged enough to have more than one ISP adress. :P

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

And I found out that my Ultrasurf browser allows me to vote as often as I'd like.

I'm just waiting for Graham to get a complain e-mail about us.

If anybody from over there reads this thread I am gonna be in soooo much trouble. :)

I suppose I should be a voice of reasonableness in all this, urging honest square dealing. Instead of which I keep telling you all to go cheat as much as you can. I know, I'm a bad, bad man.

But hell, it's a poll on a website, it's not like I'm trying to rig the US elections or anything meaningful here. And for the record, I thought we would maybe score one or two extra votes this way and still lose... I didn't really expect us to win through cheating. But as far as I am concerned this whole thing has been done in a spirit of fun and good humour, with no malicious intent.

If we get caught maybe I could offer some suitably humerous act of contrition...?

Oh please Graham. Rigging the US election would be way easier than this...
