   This is why people hate me.

     Um, no. People don’t hate you. You got over 300 votes.

     The problem isn’t people hating you.

     The problem is (fake) people loving Hanners.

       Thanks! I’m just saying that lolikit’s “support” will not be taken well by people who don’t know us.

       And it’s my damn name on the by-line.

         What support? I thought he’s trying to kick you in the guts. That’s his specialty… so that he can get you so emo for his butt-sex treatment.

   Let the REAL truth be heard. Hanners didn’t cheat. This is an email I sent 5camp and mefloraine last night:

   Heya, I don’t know if you care at all since the ABT is mostly for fun anyway, and I’m sure there has been some here and there regardless, but there is some obvious foul play going on in the We Remember Love vs. Hanners match which I thought I’d bring to your attention.

   You will see that the poll has 555 votes, the highest number since the Star Crossed Anime Blog poll wherein said winner had posted about the tourney and presumably therefor reckoned a mass of readers to vote, with which he dominated. The WRLv.Hanners case is different, however. I will list a few points to show why I am sure foul play is involved.

   1. This is the only poll I know of to still be getting so many votes on both sides right up to the last day.
   2. As mentioned, it has an absurdly high number of votes. In SCAB’s case, it made sense because his readerbase is simply that large and he directly linked, however it is far less likely that Hanners and WRL would still be incurring so many votes this far into the week, as it is also hard to believe that the ABT even has 555 readers.
   3. It would be easier to see why WRL was still getting votes because Ghostlightning has still been advertising the tournament. He put notes in at the bottom of multiple posts directing to the tourney and posted about it on twitter throughout the week. If Hanners were also using this tactic, it might make more sense that he was also getting votes.
   4. In Hanners’ first match, the blog received 230 votes. In the second match, it received around 280. Where did the 50 extra supporters come from?
   5. Ghostlightning and I have been following the poll’s scores today, and a few hours ago, WRL was four votes ahead of Hanners. Five minutes later, they were tied, and a little while after that, Hanners was ten votes ahead. Where did all of those people come from all at once at the end of the round?

   What I suspect is that someone is interested in anti-voting We Remember Love and is rigging the votes in favor of Hanners.

   I don’t really know if there is anything you can do about this, but it really sucks that in a tournament held for fun, someone is going to rain all over it. It would great if you could at least make a post letting people know that foul play has happened and that you don’t want it to happen again.

   The first reply I got was from mefloraine:

   Yes, we do care about foul play. There was also for some the ANB match, but since it didn’t really affect the outcome match, we didn’t do anything. But this certainly is affecting it.
   Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

   And then this one from 5camp:

   I’ve been following this match with interest too and I have the glory of trackbacks to find out where all these votes are flooding in from. Trust me; this is a battle being fought on far more places than just the two blogs in question. Twitter, facebook, several forums, some website called Plurk and so on. The forums have often been in Hanners favour while facebook referrers are voting for WRL. Votes keep coming in because people keep linking to it on several places across the web.

   In short, there isn’t really any foul play involved. Just good old campaigning.

   ~Scamp

   If no poll cheating was done, then it’s not cheating. Hanners didn’t do anything that GL himself didn’t do.

   It pains me to say it, but this was a fair victory.

     I didn’t say GL didn’t cheat :P

     Thanks for posting that up, I had no idea the poll had been quite so widely linked beyond the campaigning me and GL were doing, although I saw it being pushed in Twitter quite a few times.

     Besides, I don’t imagine anyone has enough Internets to create so many rigged votes!

     Wahhhhhhh, so long @_@;;; Anyway, does it really matter whether there’s cheating or no cheating? More drama, more hits, more attention to the blogs in this competition, more joy, more fun.

     And come on, Lolikit calls anyone that makes his predictions fail a cheater. He is just sore, like any other pundit who gets their calls wrong. So you hear it first from Impz. It’s just squishy bum time~

     Don’t think too much. When you consider Lolikit to be a serious indicator of anything TRULY SERIOUS, you are not thinking it right.

     p/s: I love you, lolikit. Can’t be gay for you anymore though, I’m married.

       Ouph, a pundit? That hurts, Impzy boi.

       But yes. Don’t take me seriously. Especially when I’m putting words into others’ mouths. Silly people.

       P.S. Impz being married is all the more reason for your homosexual libido to become repressed and for it to build up… I’ll release your tensions, baby~

       • → Reply At 7:46 am on May 18, 2010, Impz said:

         And also, Lolikit is the anime blog equivalent of “News of the World”. If you believe him, you are either insane, gullible or his sex doll.

         Nah, you are a used doll for Ghostlightning. I don’t take goods that have not passed quality checks no more, especially defective goods that have been used too often by weird anime bloggers.

   Hmmm, I’m still winning my second round draw despite my complete disinterest and lack of campaigning. Clearly there is something odd going on with the ABT voting…

   • → Reply At 9:53 am on May 18, 2010, lolikitsune said:

     I know what you mean. I’d be winning if I were in it, and I tell my fans not to vote for me.

   Get your revenge by campaigning for Baka-Raptor. He doesn’t do any of that twitter/facebook/forum/web 2.0 nonsense and is thus at a severe disadvantage.

   • → Reply At 9:52 am on May 18, 2010, lolikitsune said:

     Yeah, a severe disadvantage known as getting more votes than either Hanners or ghost did! Pfft. You don’t need any help from anyone, Baka-Raptor. Except for Tidus, maybe, but he doesn’t help that much.

   Ahahaha, oh my God I can’t believe I forgot to vote on this one.

   Here’s my 2 cents: I kind of doubt that Hanners’ blog is the “better” or even the more popular one per se (probably because he “only” makes rather unpretentious postings, and I seem to be in the minority for putting value onto this). But then again, I actually read Hanners’ blog, yet I think I never was able to make myself through a single one of ghostlightning’s posts (but I think I read all of his comments on other blogs LOL). So count Hanners as winning by 6 votes because I’m an idiot who forgot =P

     I think there should be a tournament for blogs whose readers never finish reading the posts. I’d vote for myself in that one.

       Admittedly, I do not read all of ghost’s posts. I do finish them when I start, though.

       You are not even in the aniblog tourney, no? (But neither are a bunch of other great blogs… like most of the blogs I read, so don’t worry.)

       I would read the steamy paragraphs of course!
