Man don't piss us
off man. Don't piss off a group of people who have
been following this thing for 7 years only to have
some shit make it vanish again. We simply aren't
prepared to lay down. And since this puppy is gonna be
locked I don't have to hide what we're gonna
do.
Last time
I had roughly 5 or 6 people running what Amy Lou
from the boards liked to call "bottle bots". I found a
way to slow the refresh rate of the keyboard down and
then hold something (In Amy Lou's case, a bottle) on
the enter key. It would register roughly 2 votes per
second under perfect conditions. Worst case scenario
the 5 of us were able to pull off close to a million
votes, and we won with 67%.
For the following
week, once I realized they were already signed to
a label, 3 of us started to vote for "3 Feet Up" using
the same automated system. We figured we pulled off
around 500,000 votes and Ditchwater STILL kicked our
asses by 69%. Remember, that's in a 3 man race.
So...whew. This is why I was so down in
the last entry. It's just
insurmountable...
...or is it? What
if instead of 5 of us.... we had 50 of us? Well we're
gonna find out - because you guys friggin' rule. The
question was posed: "Do you know anyone with a
computer that could help overnight?" I started
asking everyone I could think of that simple
question. I said I would personally go there and
set it up. Little by little I started taking names,
numbers and making appointments. As it stands right
now I personally have 17 stops tomorrow and a
total of 31 computers that I will personally be
setting up. The coup de gras? The grandaddy of them
all? A highschool computer lab in Johnstown Ohio that
one Ben Snedeker has access to. Ho-Lee Shit. Ben was a
listener of The Late Show when he was in
highschool and now he's a teacher... with keys. :-) 13
computers that can run from 3 PM tomorrow until the
end of voting on Wednesday. All untouched because of
summer break. Oooooooo-right.
So needless to
say, I'm pretty pumped. It may take 50 straight hours
of computer work for me and 3 tanks of gas, but after
this Journey? 7 years of these heartaches? And
I know what I have to do to win?
SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT. Consider it done. I will do
everything in my power. Is it cheap? Yes. But I begged
for them to make it more fair, and this is the system
they wanted - so I will do all I can to beat the
system.
And the funny
thing is, you guys? Those that are promising to set up
their computers the next 2 days? You're doing it out
of sheeeeeeeeer exhaustion. Don't lie. LOL. All you're
thinking is: "NO.
NO MORE SAD SONGS ADAM." You're
voting for your own reading enjoyment. LOL.
I kid, I know how supportive of you guys are
but as I've said before - I'm a reader too. I'm
more sick of reading this bullshit than you can
imagine. Hell, even Genuine "Adam has no integrity"
Chris from the boards is setting up computers for this
- LOL. It's just time, and even people not necessarily
in my camp want to at least see me be a complete
failure... at the next level. HAHAHAHA.
Well -
I'm off to continue working on my
spreadsheet. It takes an incredible amount
of organization to keep track of the 40-50
known computers that will be running all
over the country and I have the most
anal spreadsheet going you've ever seen.
LOL. So thank you to everyone who's gonna
help. I'm throwin' up the 2 eggs now for
Round
2
and your help will determine where they
land...
Lord help me if
I get to the final round. LOL. I still
haven't figured out how I'll catch 3 eggs.
