No one from TMS sent us any notice about this. We have contacted them and are requesting an explanation.

I asked them in an email why

That’s their response

In a few hours? It was 36 hours since the reset and we had around 75 votes.

Even without voting at work or anything...

1 vote every 12 hours. 36 hours. That's 3 votes, if just on your computer. 6 votes with comp/phone.

10 people, 60 votes.

They sound salty and don't even seem to know how their own site works. :drunk:

The "in a few hours" thing really makes them seem SUPER salty.

Are we banned from their site now? Or do we just have to start over this month and next month is next month?

To my knowledge we aren’t banned this is the second email after I got a little salty.


Code:
Nope. Someone cheated. No idea if it was 1 player, 2 players, or the entire player base. Many of those votes were from open proxy servers and as such were removed.

Every now and then someone votes from a proxy legitimately, because they're behind a VPN or using it for all their browsing. It's about 1 in a thousand. Whenever you see a collection of votes from a proxy like this, someone is cheating.

Well whoever created those characters and spam-whispered everyone "Yur char sux, delete now!"
probably found another way to hurt the game.

Rude, we've had 20+ on for the last three days.

We're #30 now. Vote, I guess.

Sooo, I've asked five people and no one's votes are being counting. The count does go up sometimes, so apparently somebody can vote, but...
