Not possible, even for a pirate!
That's good to know. It just went blank there for a while. I thought I was time travelling or something. Is my nose bleeding?
So share already! Aren't we all in this together? I would love to help out the candidate I would like to see win.......if you don't want to share with the rest of the class, stop eating the candy in front of all of us!
I'll be happy to share the shortcut if you would really like, Calliaz figured it out. It's really no big deal. I was just trying to have some fun and keep conversation going. Others have posted very similar voting shortcuts already. Yes, I was being truthful that I voted 38 times in a minute, no machines, no bots, just hands on a keyboard. I also experienced some times with lag that I voted like 16 in a minute. I also have Cable modem with super fast connection.
Ok, chill Kenny! No one is accusing you of cheating. While tone cannot generally be determined on line your use of all red caps was clearly trying to send a message. Well, message received. And quite personally, not necessary. You know, if you refer back to my post you'll see that I edited it very soon after posting it for fear that you would misinterpret something else I said. I was being considerate of you and would in no way want to say something that could on the off chance be taken out of context. So I edited it in respect to you and the others.
I hope your message to me was cleansing for you. And it was also rude and uncalled for.
For all the others reading this post I sincerely apologize for this post. But it had to be said and I'm ticked!
Mrs. Fleagle
Wasn't directed to you whatsoever. I hadn't seen the post after edit and never intended to offend you. I'm sorry that you're "ticked." My message was NOT to you. I ask your forgiveness for upsetting the Fleagle family, who I've held in the highest regard throughout this contest. I have appreciated all the great fun that Eric has brought to the thread.
It was sending a message...it was a matter of making sure that
Careerbuilder and Disney are aware that
I've not done anything to manipulate this contest. I placed it larger sized red letters to gain that attention. I never claimed that you or anyone else here accused me of anything. I have
NO vested interest in this contest whatsoever. I'm not a candidate. I can't win anything. I don't expect a free trip or even a free dole whip for that matter, the bear hug would be nice at the moment though.
I've just been playing a character, a pirate, that's all. All my "vote for loot" was just a joke and every candidate that I've spoken to via email can confirm that. I was only trying to keep conversation going and add some fun. I told one candidate at one time that I would be available to make banner ads for them for a fee and then decided to not even do that because it would be seen as manipulating. Any support I've offered has been free of charge with no expectation of recompense. I do have a favorite, the person knows who that is.
Let's clarify. In my opinion, there were only two ways to take your first post.
1. That you were, in fact, able to vote while you were away from the computer. This is how I took it... as you were responding to Calliaz who said she figured out how to do what you were doing. It sure looked like a one-up comment.
2. That you are at least implying that there was a way, and encouraging Calliaz and others to find it.
The rules give the sponsors the right to modify the contest in any way if they feel that the fair play of the contest has been violated. Its at their own discretion... so they could decide that its not fair that someone can vote 38 times in a minute and change the contest however they want.
Not saying they ever would. Just saying they can... which was my original point, and Mrs. Fleagle's after that.
EDIT... oh, apparently Mrs. Fleagle can stand up for herself.
1. You are welcome to take it for what you wish. I was only kidding around. Calliaz PMd me and I confirmed the assumption of the voting method. It was only one upsmanship in fun, Calliaz didn't seem to have any problems with my post. Not all our jokes are always a success. I am not able to vote while away from my computer.
Someone claimed they could vote 11 times, someone else 20 something, someone else 38, what's the difference. I used my hands on a keyboard, nothing more.
I respected your post and therefore wanted to clarify that I had done nothing wrong to affect the outcome of this contest. Nothing more than anyone else here has done by trying to see what keys on the keyboard can shorten the voting time.
Since I know that people want to know "The Secret" (and it's not a self-help quasi-spiritual book), please feel free to PM me. I'll respond to everyone I can recognize who asks. I don't think this is something Disney or CareerBuilder would care about; it is not cheating. However, I'd rather not be the one to ruin the party by posting it if there's something wrong.
Am I being overly cautious?
I'll just stop voting all together so no one feels that I'm doing anything to hurt ANY candidate. I just came here to make some new friends and have some laughs. I didn't come to start trouble. I'll say it again. I was just playing the part of a pirate. I'll just go back to being a regular guy who is a minister.
"Vote for loot" silliness is a thing of the past.
I wish all the candidates well. May your dreams come true!
